聞雞起舞出自西晉時期劉琨和祖逖的故事。他倆年輕時皆胸懷大志，心存社稷，勤奮好學，能詩善文。文史載二人皆有英氣且同為司州主薄友誼甚篤，同寢共被，每天夜間聽雞鳴急披衣起，共舞劍。千百年間，聞雞起舞，鼓勵有志之士，奮發圖強。

"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。*涉及到中國歷史朝代最好加上時間斷限,以給人直觀的印象。*象"同寢共被"這樣的說法要處理得文明一些,免得老外認為有***嫌疑。
