How did the holes of the pear grow up at the age of four?

On that day, the child told me after school, "Our morality and legal system teacher said that in ancient times, there was a child named Kong Rong, who gave the big pear to his brother to eat when he ate pears, and specially picked small ones to eat. I will also give you the big apples in the future, and I will eat the small ones. ”

The story of "melting four years old, can make pears" can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in order to let people learn the etiquette of "orderly growth and childhood, respect and inferiority", but history should be dialectically viewed, as confucius's twentieth grandson Kong Rong, not to mention whether he really let the pear, even if he really let it, he probably would not have thought that he let a pear, and posterity wrote it into the Three Character Sutra and textbooks, becoming a typical case of "respecting the teacher and respecting the elder"!

Kong Rong, as one of the seven sons of Jian'an at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), had talent, and also had ideal political ambitions for governing the country, and it was not comparable to you and me, but his personality was indeed very controversial. Later generations of history lovers, always think that Kong Rong let the pear, probably because parents and Mr. Private School is how to teach, the social atmosphere is so required, there was no college entrance examination system at that time, Mr. Private School and parents have been instructed, children do you want to come out? Pack yourself well and wait for filial piety.

What happened to Kong Rong when he grew up?

Kong Rong (153-208, aged 56), entered the imperial court as an official in 184 at the age of 31, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, and was a socialite. The following major events in the growth process are as follows:

(1) At the age of ten, he visited Li Yuanli, a famous scholar in Luoyang, and forced his kinship, saying that Confucius and LaoZi were good friends, so the Kong and Li families were relatives. No matter which dynasty or generation this kind of trembling wit can eat in some places and can't eat in some places, you have to have real ability. At that time, Taizhong doctor Chen Yun commented: "When you were young, you may not have talent when you grow up", the original intention was also to remind Kong Rong that this child, low-key, don't always play small smart, can not be mouthless, Kong Rong immediately answered: "Then Chen Yun, you must have been very smart when you were a child (or how can you mix so badly now?)", It is said that everyone present laughed, that is because he is still only a 10-year-old child, and a 10-year-old child can shake such a cleverness or be quite smart. But suppose this record is true, is it appropriate for a child, a satirical elder and a taichung doctor?

(2) 16-year-old Kong Rong killed his brother Kong Rong. Kong Bao's friend Zhang Jian took refuge in Kong Bao's house because of his crime, Kong Bao was not at home, and 16-year-old Kong Rong took Kong Bao in on his own initiative. Later, he was reported and the Kong family was convicted. It is said that Kong Rongkong praised Kong's mother and three people scrambled to die, so that the person on duty had to ask the imperial court, the imperial court ordered the killing of his brother, we don't know if the head of the emperor of the imperial court was squeezed, if according to the current law, who must have done it and who is guilty, in this way, Cao Chengxiang may be a lot less troublesome in the future, but the imperial court will cure the death penalty of his brother Kong Bao. This story, telling friends about righteousness and protecting liangchen (Zhang Jian) is all right, but it also tells us a truth, in the unit, in the organ, you are a subordinate, do not casually make decisions for your own leaders and superiors, otherwise you will die.

(3) At the age of 56, he killed the whole family. Historical records record that in 184, Kong was integrated into the dynasty as an official, a clean official who was just and upright, and later offended Dong Zhuo Taishi many times, was hated by Taishi, and was sent to the north as the Minister of State of Beihai (Minor Official), with some political achievements. However, compared with a big guy like Cao Chengxiang, he still seems to be a little more talented. After Dong Zhuo's death, in 196, Cao Cao threatened the Heavenly Son in Xuchang to order the princes, and Kong Rong came to Xuchang to serve as an official in the court. If it weren't for Kong Rong's rough talent, without Cao Cheng xiang maintaining the government, he Kong Rong might still have to stay in beihai. At this time, as one of the seven sons of Jian'an, he was already a leader of celebrities, and he liked to make public remarks and criticize current affairs, especially like to scold The Cao Cheng Xiang family, and it is said that celebrities from all over the world obeyed him! When he was in Xuchang, his own political and military level was limited, but he was not accustomed to Cao Cao's entire family, and he scolded Cao Cao and Cao Pi.

The Book of Later Han and the Biography of Kong Rong: Cao Cao attacked Tu YeCheng, and Yuan's wives and sons were often invaded, while Cao Zi Pi took Yuan Xi's wife Zhen privately. Rong Nai and Cao Shu said, "The King of Wu cut down the silk and gave the Duke of Zhou by himself". unconscious, I asked what the classic was. Right: "Take it for granted." "You see, Kong Rong's mouth is capable of hissing." Cao Cao asked him which book did "The King of Wu cut down the Silk and gave the Duke of Zhou with his own gifts" from? Kong Rong said, "This story was made up by myself!" Just to satirize you Cao Cao father and son! ”

Anyway, some of the literati have problems with Kong Rong, and the literati have no problems with Kong Rong, and finally they made remarks that were unfavorable to Cao Cheng Xiang's reputation, cao Cheng Xiang couldn't bear it, and in 208, he also "took it for granted" to make up a reason and decided to kill him. Kong Rong did not know whether he was soft in order to survive, but he pleaded for his own children, hoping to let go of his 9-year-old child and 8-year-old girl, Kong Rong did not expect that the children educated were fierce characters, and the little girl said without fear, 'Adult, will you see that under the nest, there is a complete egg?' Awe-inspiring to die. The classic idiom "there is no egg under the nest" was born.

At that time, many so-called decent celebrities believed that Cao Cheng Xiang was a thief of the country, so although Kong Rong lacked the vision of historical development, his confrontation with Cao Cao was in line with the traditional way of loyalty to the country and the king, and should also be recited for future generations.

Therefore, to look at Kong Rong, we must retain some historical dialectical vision, after all, the historical records are not necessarily comprehensive, and the interpretation of later generations also has the preferences of future generations. The positive characters that have been handed down for thousands of years naturally have their glorious and great side that is different from ordinary people, otherwise they would have been drowned under the rolling wheels of history.
