The aim of this paper is give a simple proof of some results in \cite{Jun Ling-2006-IJM} and \cite{JunLing-2007-AGAG}, which are very deep studies in the sharp lower bound of the first eigenvalue in the Laplacian operator on compact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. We also get a result about lower bound of the first Neumann eigenvalue in a special case. Indeed, our estimate of lower bound in the this case is optimal. Although the methods used in here due to \cite{Jun Ling-2006-IJM} (or \cite{JunLing-2007-AGAG}) on the whole, to some extent we can tackle the singularity of test functions and also simplify greatly much calculation in these references. Maybe this provides another way to estimate eigenvalues.
