Ancient wisdom and the composition of modern society

Today, my mother accompanied me at home to read an article called "Cao Chong is an elephant". The story tells that when Cao Cao's son Cao Chong was six years old, Sun Quan gave him an elephant. Cao Cao was very happy and took Cao Chong and officials to see the elephants. I see the elephant is tall and big, with a figure like a wall, ears like a big fan and four legs like four pillars. Cao Cao looked at it and said, "This elephant is so big, it must be light." I'll give you one hundred and twenty pieces of silver. "Hearing this, the officials are whispering. Some of them bowed their heads and meditated, while others looked up at the sky and meditated silently. In short, all the methods that officials come up with are not feasible. Cao Cao shook his head. When everyone was still, six-year-old Cao Chong suddenly stood up and said, "I have an idea. First, I will drive the elephant to the boat and see how much it sinks. Then put a lot of stones in the boat, and when the boat sinks to the scribe line, weigh the stones in the boat. Don't you know the weight of the elephant after weighing the stone? " Hearing this, Cao Cao and the officials nodded and thought it was a good idea. They all praised Cao Chong as a clever boy. So people drove the elephant to the boat and did it according to Cao Chong's method. Soon, they weighed the elephant. ..

This story tells us that we should not only read more books, but also observe carefully and use our brains, so that there are more ways to solve the difficulties encountered in life and the problems in study.
