Reflections on Cao Chong's The Elephant.

Cao Chong's Call the Elephant tells the story of a child calling the elephant. The child's name is Cao Chong. Cao Chong's father, Cao Cao, is a senior official. The foreigner gave him an elephant. He wanted to know how much the elephant weighed, so he asked his officials to find a way to weigh it. This is an arduous task. Elephants are the largest animals on land. What do you call it? At that time, there were no scales that big, and people didn't have the strength to lift elephants. Officials are so worried about elephants that no one can figure out a way to weigh them.

Just then, a child ran out, stood in front of the adults and said, "I have an idea, I have an idea!" " "The officer, turned out to be cao cao's youngest son Cao Chong. He said nothing but thought of a five-year-old child. What can he do? Everyone wants to see his jokes.

I saw Cao Chong leading an elephant to the river. There is a big empty boat by the river. Cao Chong said, "Take the elephant on board." When the elephant got on the boat, the boat sank a little. Cao Chong said, "Draw a mark on the side of the ship at the water level." After marking, Cao Chong had the elephant brought ashore. At this time, the big ship is empty, and the big ship floats a little. Everyone watched, taking the elephant on the boat for a while, and taking the elephant off the boat for a while, saying in their hearts, "What game is this child playing?"

Next, Cao Chong asked people to pick stones, put them on the boat, picked one load after another, and the boat slowly sank. "All right, all right!" Cao Chong saw the markings on the ship's side all over the water, so he asked people to pick the stones off the ship one by one. At this time, everyone understood: the stone was loaded on the boat, the elephant was loaded on the boat, and the boat sank to the same mark. It can be seen that the weight of stones and elephants is the same; Weigh these stones again and add up the weight of all the stones. Isn't the sum total the weight of the elephant?

Everyone says that this method looks simple, but if it weren't for Cao Chong to show it to everyone, adults would really be puzzled. Cao Chong is so clever!

After reading this story, I think Cao Chong is very clever. Because he bravely put forward his unique ideas in front of so many people, he used many stones to weigh the elephant. Be good at thinking, thinking and innovating when encountering problems. I also want to learn from him. When you encounter difficulties in your study, don't flinch, use your head and overcome them, and your study will get better and better.
