Sima Guang smashed the story of the cylinder must be familiar to everyone, when Sima Guang was playing with his friends in the courtyard when he was a child, a child flipped over to the rockery and accidentally fell into a one-man-high water tank, Sima Guang was in a hurry to lift a brick and smash it on the water tank, the water tank broke a big hole, the water flowed out, and the child who fell into the water was finally saved.
But what is puzzling is that the Chinese teacher did not describe the rescued person too much when telling this story, in fact, he was Shangguan Shangguang, his original name was Shangguan Shang, but in order to remember Sima Guang's help to him, he and his parents added a "light" word after his name. Such a move is really imaginative
In fact, in addition to changing his name, the wealthy Shangguan family of Shangguang also built a special "thanksgiving pavilion" to express gratitude to Sima Guang for saving his life, so that passers-by knew the story of Sima Guang's rush to save Shangguan Shangguang, so that Sima Guang's career was smooth sailing and established a good reputation in the folk.
In fact, everything Shangguan Shangguang did was to thank and remember the Savior, and the grace of ordinary people was a one-time event, but Shangguan Shangguang's family gave full play to their grateful hearts and repaid his kindness from generation to generation. He recorded the incident in the family tree, asked future generations to remember, and encouraged each generation to be actively helpful.
However, there is no relevant record in the history books, these Hong confucians are really rainbow fart masters in terms of word making, in order to highlight Sima Guang's aura and personality charm, they deliberately downplayed other supporting characters in the story, so they did not write how Shangguan Shangguang repaid Sima Guang's life-saving grace, and even did not mention Shangguan Shangguang.
