Every era will have inspirational figures, who will succeed step by step through their own efforts, which is a model for us to learn. For example, Sun Jing, who studied hard in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "hanging beam thorn stock", and a person named Che Yin in the Jin Dynasty, when he was a child, because his family was poor and did not have a lamp, he used the training sac to install fireflies to illuminate his reading in the summer, and used the reflection of the snow to read his uncle in winter, so there was the phrase "sac fluorescent snow". And today's sentence "chiseling the wall to steal the light" must be more familiar to everyone, right?
The story of a man named Kuang Heng, a great writer of the Western Han Dynasty, who chiseled through the wall to lead his neighbors to read by candlelight when he was a child. However, most people only know the allusion of "chiseling the wall to steal the light", but they do not know that the child who chiseled the wall to steal the light has experienced in life after growing up. In fact, people who can be recorded as a classic idiom are not simple, and Kuang Heng is even more so.
Kuang Heng was born in Cheng County, Donghae County. Kuang Heng's family has been farming for generations, and almost no readers who have been high officials have appeared for generations, but somehow Kuang Heng is very studious and diligent. How far have you worked? In the early years, the family was poor and had no money to buy candles, and we know that in general, if there are no candles at night, there will be no light after about seven o'clock.
So I basically can't read books. Kuang Heng came up with a way to make a small hole in the wall so that the light of the neighbor's candle flame could penetrate his home. Then with the help of this glimmer, continue reading and learning. However, although Kuang Heng solved the problem of light, the source of the book became another more difficult problem.
At that time, it was difficult for poor people to buy books, and in order to solve this problem. Kuang Heng's method is also very clever, he directly works for rich families with books. And don't pay him, just lend him books.
It is precisely because of this spirit of learning at all costs that Kuang Heng finally mastered a lot of knowledge. In particular, he was so fond of the Book of Poetry that kuang heng almost became the most authoritative expert in this field in the whole country at that time. At that time, Confucian Sheng's evaluation of Kuang Heng was: "There is no saying "poetry", Kuang Dinglai; Kuang Yu "poetry", understanding people".
Kuang Heng's fame is also getting bigger and bigger. Later, he was even recommended to Emperor Xuan of Han by many officials, and the prince of the dynasty was extremely respectful of Kuang Heng, and even worshiped Kuang Heng as a teacher. In 48 BC, Liu Yi succeeded him as Emperor Yuan of Han. Kuang Heng almost entered a state of flat steps, all the way from LangZhong to doctor, from Yushi Dafu to the position of the prime minister above ten thousand people under one person.
Kuang Heng became a generation of famous people recorded in the Book of Han, but unfortunately in the end he was for the Shu people. As for the reason, since Kuang Heng is a typical example of a positive image, the teacher naturally will not say it.
At that time, Emperor Yuan of Han made Kuang Heng the Marquis of Le'an. We know that the ancient princes had fiefs, and Kuang Heng took advantage of the loophole that the ancient land was not advanced enough to judge that there would be errors, and expanded his fiefdom to more than 40,000 acres.
After the Hancheng Emperor ascended the throne, Kuang Heng was played by people, and finally the investigation was true. So he stripped Kuang Heng of his title status and reduced him to a commoner. Kuang Heng had to return to his hometown, the original starting point. It also became the end of Kuang Heng, and he died of illness not long after returning home.
