Let's take a look at the ten talented prodigy representatives in Chinese history.

The ten prodigies of ancient China, the ten great allusions of youth, read stories, and grow up is wisdom

Ganro

He is 12 years old and is a prime minister

Ganluo (born and died unknown), a native of Xiacai (present-day Yingshang, Anhui) of the Chu state during the Warring States period, was brilliant from an early age and was a famous young statesman. Ganluo was selected as the youngest politician in Chinese history by the China World Records Association. His grandfather, Gan Mao, was a famous figure in the Qin state and served as the left chancellor of the Qin state. "The Tiger Out of the Door", under the guidance of his grandfather, Ganluo was intelligent and witty from an early age, able to speak eloquently, and was deeply loved by his family. Later, Gan Mao was ostracized by others and forced to flee the Qin state, and died soon after in the State of Wei. When Ganluo was twelve years old, he defected to the door of Lü Buwei, the chancellor of the Qin Dynasty, and became his talent.

At that time, the State of Qin attempted to join forces with Yan to attack Zhao, and planned to send the minister Zhang Tang to send an envoy to the State of Yan, but Zhang Tang used the excuse to resign. Lü Buwei had no choice but to do anything, and At that time, ganluo, who was only twelve years old at the time, knew the state affairs very well, and Ganluo volunteered to persuade Zhang Tang to take up his post. Lü Buwei didn't quite believe him at first, and Ganluo said with a straight face: "Once upon a time, Xiang Qi was a teacher of Confucius when he was 7 years old, and now that I am 12 years old, can't you let me try it?" Lü Buwei had to agree to his request.

Ganluo drove to see Zhang Tang and said, "When Wu'an Junbaiqi disobeyed The orders of Ying Hou Fan Ju to attack the State of Zhao, he was thrown out of Xianyang by Ying Hou and died in Duyou. Now that Wen Xinhou's power is much greater than that of Ying Hou, you disobey his orders, and it seems that your death date is not far away! A few words frightened Zhang Tang into obediently agreeing to send an envoy to the Yan Kingdom.

With Lü Buwei's consent, Ganluo also lobbied the State of Zhao according to the qin state's intention to expand Hejian County, and he attacked the king of Zhao's psychological state worried that the Qin-Yan alliance would be unfavorable to the State of Zhao, saying: "The Qin-Yan Alliance is nothing more than trying to occupy the land between the rivers of the State of Zhao, and if you cede the 5 cities of Hejian to the State of Qin, I can go back and persuade the King of Qin to cancel Zhang Tang's mission and break off the alliance with the State of Yan." At that time, when you attack the Yan Kingdom, the Qin State will never interfere, and the Zhao State will gain more than 5 cities! "King Zhao was overjoyed and was busy handing over the map and household registration of the 5 cities in Hejian to Ganluo. Ganluo returned with a full load, and the Qin state did not spend a single soldier to obtain the land between the rivers, and the King of Qin named the 12-year-old Ganluo Shangqing and rewarded him with the land that was given to Ganmao. Since the rank of the minister and the secretary of state at that time was similar, the folk deduced the saying that Ganluo was 12 years old as the minister.

It can be seen from this that Ganluo's intelligence is not only incomparable to his peers, but even the average adult is not as good as a prodigy!

Cao Chong

Amazing wisdom

Among the prodigies of the Three Kingdoms, the most famous is undoubtedly Cao Chong. Cao Chong, son of Cao Cao. Cao Chong showed amazing talent from an early age, with a strong ability to understand, and by the age of 5 or 6, his intelligence reached the adult level, leaving an allusion to Cao Chong's claim to be an elephant, and the "Biography of King Chong of Wei Shu Deng Lai" also recorded an incident, saying that at that time, Cao Cao conquered the world with a large army, ordered prohibitions, and the criminal law was very severe, which led to frequent unjust cases. Once, a pair of saddles in the warehouse was bitten by a rat, and it happened to be Cao Cao's. The soldiers in charge of the warehouse were terrified, thinking that they must be doomed and dead. After Cao Chong knew, he used a knife to make a small hole in his clothes, pretending to be bitten by a rat, with a sad face. When Cao Cao saw it, he asked him what was wrong. He replied: "Everyone says that if the clothes are bitten by rats, the owner of the clothes will suffer misfortune." Cao Cao smiled and said, "That's all nonsense, there will be no luck or misfortune at all." Later, the soldier who managed the warehouse still truthfully reported the rat biting the saddle, and Cao Cao suddenly understood Cao Chong's intentions, smiled, and did not pursue the matter any further.

Compared with Cao Zhi, who is only eight buckets tall, and Cao Pi, who plays with power, Cao Chong's wisdom can be said to be amazing. In fact, Cao Chong not only has this kind of "little wisdom", but also "discerns benevolence, is born with sex, has a beautiful appearance, and is different from the public, so he is particularly favored." He often used his wisdom and position to do some major things that saved people's lives, according to the historical records: "When the military and the country were troubled, the punishment was serious... Those who deserve to be killed, but who are discerned by Chong Wei, rely on the relief of the devil, dozens of people before and after." Cao Chong was undoubtedly a genius, and probably because of this, he was loved by Cao Cao, and at a very young age, he was selected by Cao Cao as his heir. Unfortunately, he only lived to be thirteen years old before he fell ill and died.

Young people are blessed

Li Er, the character Boyang, also known as Lao Nie, is one of the greatest philosophers in ancient China and one of the standard thinkers of Lao Tzu, the founder of the Taoist school, and a celebrity of world culture. Later generations called it "Lao Tzu" (in ancient times, the pronunciation of the word "Lao" was the same as that of "Li").

Li Er was very knowledgeable when he was a teenager. At that time, the Chu state conquered the Song state, and the momentum was huge, but Li Er said: "This is not necessarily a good thing." The Chu state was weak before, so no one paid attention, so it was able to recuperate and develop and grow. Now that the battle has been won, the tree has made a big move, and there will be no peace from now on. ”

A year later, the Battle of Chengpu between Chu and Jin occurred, and the Chu state was defeated. People remembered Lee's words and thought he had the divine power of an uncertain prophet. King Xiang of Zhou asked Li Er to teach him the skills of an uncertain prophet. Lee said, "I am not a prophet. Everything in the world has an internal law; all things are complementary and can be transformed into each other, and this is what is said in the blessings and misfortunes, and the misfortunes and blessings. King Xiang of Zhou was very impressed, so he left Li Er as an official in the court.

Wen Ji immediately heard it and said, "Father, you broke the first string!" Cai Yong was shocked, her daughter had never learned to play the piano, not even touched the piano, how could she hear that he had broken the first string? Cai Yong continued to play, deliberately breaking the fourth string. Wen Ji immediately recognized, "Father, you broke the fourth string again!" Cai Yong believed that her daughter really had no teacher and mastered the rhythm.

Later, under the guidance of her father, Cai Wenji's piano skills reached the point of pure fire.

Meng Yijun

Enlighten the Father with words

Meng Yujun's real name was Tian Wen (田文), the son of Tian Bao of the State of Qi, who had more than forty sons, and Tian Wen was born to one of Tian Bao's concubines and was born on the fifth day of the first month of May. Since local customs believe that babies born on this day will be detrimental to their fathers, Tian Bao asked Tian Wen's mother to take the baby and throw it away, and told her: "Don't feed him." But Tian Wen's mother secretly fed him.

On Tian Wen's fifth birthday, Tian Bao discovered this secret, was furious, and angrily said to his mother: "I let you throw this child away, you dared to raise him, why is this?" Tian Wen's mother did not answer, Tian Wen immediately bowed his head and bowed, and then asked Tian Bao, "Why don't you let the children born in May be raised?" Tian Bao replied, "A child born in May, growing up to be as tall as a portal, will harm his father and mother." ”

Tian Wen said, "Is the fate of man granted by Heaven?" Or is it granted by the portal? Tian Bao didn't know how to answer well, so he was silent. Tian Wen then said, "If it was granted by Heaven, why should you worry?" If it is granted by the portal, then just raise the portal, who can grow that taller! Tian Bao was speechless and scolded, "Don't you say it! After some time, Tian Wen took advantage of the opportunity to ask his father, "What is the name of the son's son?" Tian Bao replied, "CallEd Sun Tzu." Tian Wen then asked, "What is the name of Sun Tzu's grandson?" Tian Bao replied, "My name is Xuan sun." Tian Wen asked again, "What is the name of Xuan sun's grandson?" Tian Bao said, "I don't know." Tian Wen said: "You have held great power as the prime minister of the State of Qi, and you have now experienced three generations of kings, but the territory of the State of Qi has not expanded, but your private family has accumulated thousands of gold wealth, and there is not a single talented person under your door." I have heard that the general's court will produce a general, and the prime minister's court will have a prime minister. Now your concubines can trample on the silk of Ayara, and the Magi cannot wear a coarse cloth short coat; your maid and slave have the surplus of food and meat soup, and the Magi cannot even eat bran. Now you are still accumulating more and more, trying to leave it to those who cannot even be called, but you forget that the country is losing power among the princes day by day. I'm very strange in private. ”

Since then, Tian Bao has changed his attitude toward Tian Wen, weighing him heavily, letting him preside over housekeeping and receive guests. The number of guests continued to increase, and Tian Wen's reputation spread to the various princely states. All the princely states sent people to ask Tian Bao to make Tian Wen the crown prince, and Tian Bao agreed to come down. After Tian Bao's death, he posthumously honored Jing Guojun. Tian Wen did indeed inherit the title of Tian Bao in Xue Yi. Tian Wen later became a famous politician with three thousand diners. This is Meng Tianjun.

Fang Xuanling grew up in the Sui Dynasty, when Emperor Wen of Sui seized the world shortly after, and the society was a prosperous scene. Most people think that the Sui Dynasty is unbreakable, but the young Fang Xuanling can see its potential decline from the surface strength, and he said to his father: "The Sui Dynasty did not benefit the people at all, but only by fooling the people to maintain their rule, and the royal brothers were discordant and fell in love with each other, and the contradictions in the future will intensify and cause chaos in the world!" In my opinion, the day of the fall of the Sui Dynasty is not far away. The father was shocked to hear this, and told his son not to talk nonsense.

Soon, Fang Xuanling's words came true. Emperor Wen of Sui was killed, Yang Guang took the throne, and soon rebels rose up, and the world was in chaos. The Sui Dynasty was vulnerable, and Li Yuan's father and son took advantage of the opportunity to take the world.

Fang Xuanling later became the chancellor of Emperor Taizong of Tang and Li Shimin, establishing outstanding merits.
