Speaking of who Kuang Heng is, some people may be asked; but to talk about the inspirational story of "chiseling the wall to steal the light", I believe everyone is familiar with it. China has always attached great importance to learning, and there are countless figures in history who have changed their own and their family's fate through hard study. Here, we are talking about the inspirational model - the Western Han Classicist Kuang Heng.
When Kuang Heng was a child, his family was very poor and could not afford to buy books, and books were also valuable at that time and were not easily borrowed. In order to read more books, Kuang Heng worked for rich people, on the condition that he did not want financial rewards, but only wanted to be able to lend him books.
Because Kuang Heng had to do farm work during the day, he could only study at night. However, because of the poor conditions at home, even the oil lamp could not be lit at night, and Kuang Heng was often distressed by this.
Kuang Heng's neighbors were wealthier and often lit up late. One day Kuang Heng suddenly saw that there was a gap in the wall connected to the neighbor's house, and a beam of light came through the gap. He secretly chiseled the gap and read at night by the light that came through.
It was in this way that Kuang Heng studied hard and eventually became a scholar and politician.
At that time, Kuang Heng painstakingly studied the Book of Poetry, so his understanding of the Book of Poetry was very thorough. Among the literati, there is even a saying: "There is no saying of "poetry", Kuang Dinglai." Kuang said "Poetry", "Understanding people". That is to say, Kuang Heng's interpretation of the Book of Poetry can make people feel comfortable, which shows the high level of Kuang Heng.
Although Kuang Heng understood the Book of Poetry very thoroughly, he was not very good at examination luck. He took the exam six times before he was admitted to the C subject, which is in the current parlance of the lowest grade of the admission line and became a literary pawn. However, he was already famous, and the Han Yuan Emperor, who was the crown prince at that time, had heard his name and was deeply impressed by him.
When Emperor Yuan of Han ascended the throne, Kuang Heng was made langzhong. At that time, there were natural disasters such as earthquakes in Chang'an City, and Kuang Heng took this opportunity to play a role in advising emperor Yuan of Han to reduce the use of it, change the extravagant atmosphere of good and beautiful clothes and decorations in the harem, and morally indoctrinate the people in the way of the above and lower effects. As soon as this sonata came out, it was appreciated by the Han Yuan Emperor, and Kuang Heng's position was constantly promoted.
Emperor Yuan of Han especially liked to read the Book of Poetry, and had listened to Kuang Heng's explanation many times and admired him very much. In the third year of Jianzhao, Emperor Yuan of Han made Kuang Heng the Prince of Dang and the Marquis of Anle, and was a very popular subject.
After Kuang Heng entered the army, he was very respected because he was outspoken and honest. In the late Han And Yuan Dynasty, there was a eunuch Shi Xian, who took advantage of the emperor's favor to increase taxes, control the government, and form parties for personal gain, and no official at that time dared to criticize. After the death of Emperor Yuan of Han, Emperor Cheng took the throne, and Kuang Heng immediately listed Shi Xian's evil deeds and wrote a letter of impeachment, and finally eradicated Shi Xian. But because he had been friends with Shi Xian, so capricious, some people thought he was a courtier.
In addition, Kuang Heng is a very contradictory person, perhaps because he was too impressed by his poor life as a child, and he attached great importance to money. When Kuang Heng was crowned marquis, he was given 310,000 mu of land, but Kuang Heng took advantage of the mistakes in the map to secretly expand his fiefdom to as many as 40,000 mu.
Because of this incident, Kuang Heng was impeached by his colleagues, and was reduced to a commoner by Emperor Hancheng, and had to return to his hometown to live. After a few years, Kuang Heng fell ill and died in his hometown.
"Chiseling the wall to borrow light" is a good story of educating children, what the protagonist Kuang Heng did when he grew up, it is estimated that the language teacher is embarrassed to tell the child.
