闻鸡起舞出自西晋时期刘琨和祖逖的故事。他俩年轻时皆胸怀大志，心存社稷，勤奋好学，能诗善文。文史载二人皆有英气且同为司州主薄友谊甚笃，同寝共被，每天夜间听鸡鸣急披衣起，共舞剑。千百年间，闻鸡起舞，鼓励有志之士，奋发图强。

"Rise at the cock's crow "is a traditional Chinese idiom from the story of Liu Kun and Zhu Ti,two heroes in Western Jin Dynasty(265-361 A。D)。Both young men were ambitious。diligent,talented in literature and both worried about the nation's fate。Their heroic deeds were put down by the authors of historical writings。As the local officials in charge of secretary works they enjoyed close friendship and once shared the same bedroom。Every night they would get up to practise fencing as soon as they heard the cock's crow so as to make themselves skilled enough for the military career later。For thousands of years,the idiom "Rise at the cock's crow "has always inspired ambitious people to work hard and make great achivements。*涉及到中国历史朝代最好加上时间断限,以给人直观的印象。*象"同寝共被"这样的说法要处理得文明一些,免得老外认为有***嫌疑。
