What does the inspirational idiom story tell us

Interpretation: It is not shameful to ask for advice from people with lower knowledge or status than yourself. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Kong Wei, who was diligent and studious, modest and prudent. After his death, Wang Wei named him "Wen" in recognition of his studious spirit. Therefore, people later addressed him as "Confucius". Confucius had a student named Zi Gong, who was also a patriot. He thinks that Kong Cong doesn't call him "Kong Wenzi" as people say, which seems a bit overestimated. He thought and thought, but he didn't understand, so he asked Confucius for advice. Zi Gong said, "That Kong Wen is nothing. Why should I give it to him? Words? Title? " Confucius replied: "Confucius is smart and eager to learn, and has the courage to ask people whose status and knowledge are inferior to his own, without feeling humiliated." This is very remarkable, so it should be given to him? Words? Title. " After listening to Confucius' words, Zi Gong suddenly realized that he was completely convinced.

2. Dig the wall and steal the light

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. Families in Kuang Heng can't afford books, so they have to borrow books to read. During the busy farming season, Kuang Heng worked as a short-term worker for wealthy families and asked them to lend him books for free.

He works in the field all day, and only has time to read a little book during his lunch break, so it often takes ten days and a half months to finish reading a book. But Kuang Heng's family is too poor to buy oil for lighting. What should we do?

One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed reciting the books he had read during the day. Behind me, I suddenly saw a light coming through the east wall. He stood up and went to the wall to have a look. Ah! It turned out that the neighbor's light came through the cracks in the wall. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he picked up a knife and dug several cracks in the wall. In this way, the light coming through is also very big, so he gathered the light coming through and began to read. Kuang Heng studied so hard that he became a learned man.
