When my father saw this, he was very happy: don't look at this kid who is only four years old, but he really understands things. He deliberately asked Kong Rong: "There are so many pears, and you are allowed to take them first, why don't you take the big one and only take the smallest one?

3. Chiseling the wall to borrow light

When the Western Han Dynasty was in progress, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. When he was a child, he wanted to study very much, but because his family was poor, he could not afford to buy books, so he had to borrow books to read. At that time, books were very expensive, and those who had them refused to lend them to others easily. So Kuang Heng worked as a short-term laborer for rich people during the busy farming season, asking them to lend him books without paying for them.

Kuang Heng grew up and became the main laborer of his family. He had to work in the fields during the day, and had to spend his evenings reading books. But Kuangheng's family was so poor that they couldn't afford to buy the oil to light the lamps, so what could they do?

One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed, memorizing the books he had read during the day. As he was memorizing, he suddenly saw a bright light coming from the east wall. He stood up and walked to the wall to take a look! It turned out that the light coming through the crack was the neighbor's light. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he took a knife and dug the cracks in the wall a little wider. This way, the light coming through was also bigger, so he read a book with the light coming through.

Kuangheng studied hard in this way, and later became a very learned man.

Expanded Information

Kuang Heng, during his term of office, submitted many petitions stating his opinions on the policies of the imperial court, stating the ways of governing the country, and often participated in the study and discussion of state affairs, answering the questions according to the classics, and speaking in accordance with the law, earning the trust of the Yuan Emperor.

The support of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Cheng for Kuangheng's ideas was inseparable from the social trend that began in the middle of the Han Dynasty of respecting Confucianism, emphasizing Confucianism, and emphasizing the value of the classics, which was actually a means by which the Han rulers ruled over the people.

When Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was in his later years, the eunuch Shi Xian was the commander of the Central Committee of the Book, and he formed a party to control the government, encouraging Emperor Yuan to increase the burden of service and exploitation of the people, but no one dared to offend him because of the emperor's favor. After Emperor Cheng became the emperor, Kuang Heng submitted a petition to impeach Shi Xian, listing his previous crimes and citing his henchmen. This was the last thing Kuang Heng did to root out the treacherous sycophants and do his duty for the Han court. Soon after, Kuang Heng embezzled money and was relegated to the status of a commoner by Emperor Cheng of Han Dynasty, and returned to his hometown, where he died of illness in a few years.
