First of all, the matter of "Cao Chong calling the elephant" is absolutely true and credible, and it is taken from Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and has a clear and detailed record. As one of the Twenty-Four Histories, the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms was written by the Historian Chen Shou of the Western Jin Dynasty, which records the history of the Three Kingdoms period in China, and is one of the highest-rated "First Four Histories" in the Twenty-Four Histories. Therefore, the matter of "Cao Chong calling the elephant" is unmistakable.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Chong was young and wise, and when he was five or six years old, he had the wisdom of an adult. It is said that at that time, Eastern Wu Sun Quan sent an elephant to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was curious about how heavy this elephant was, but the elephant was too big to measure, and if you wanted to know the weight of it exactly, you could only divide it into pieces, but Cao Cao did not want to kill it, so the question came, how can you know the weight of this elephant exactly without harming the elephant?
Cao Cao threw this question to the ministers, and everyone scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks but did not know how to do it, and for a while no one could give Cao Cao a definite answer. At this time, five-year-old Cao Chong smiled happily and said, "Daddy I know how to do it!" So Cao Cao hugged the five-year-old Cao Chong up, and Cao Chong put it on Cao Cao's ear and said: Put the elephant on a big boat, carve the water mark at the edge of the boat, and then remove the elephant, and then put various items on it until the same scale. Isn't the weight of such an object the weight of an elephant?
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Chong Shao Congcha, born five or six years old, has the wisdom of an adult. When Sun Quan once gave a giant elephant, Taizu wanted to know its weight, and when he visited the group, Xian Mo could not be reasoned. Chong Yue: ''Placed on top of a great ship, and carved into its water marks, weighing things to carry them, then the school can know. ''Taizu Dayue, that is, the execution of Yan.''
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said, "My son is so intelligent!" This is the earliest equivalent exchange algorithm in China, perhaps we think it is very simple now, but for the social background at that time, Cao Chong can only rely on the wisdom of 5 years old to come up with such an idea, it is indeed very rare.
By the way: Cao Chong was extremely intelligent and deeply liked by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao even expressed his intention to let him inherit the unification in front of the group of ministers many times, but unfortunately, Tian's jealous talent, Cao Chong died of illness at the age of thirteen, Cao Cao personally prayed to heaven for blessings, hoping to save his son's life, but unfortunately he left. Cao Chong died, one said that he died of a serious illness, and the other said that someone poisoned him to death (here the spearhead is directed at Cao Pi).
"Book of Wei": "Rush to see the prisoner, and look at his wrongdoing and ignore it." And industrious officials, who have committed sins by mistake, often say for Taizu Chen that it is advisable to forgive them. ”
