"In the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, habits are far away. "Everyone is born like a blank piece of paper, and in the process of growing up, they have experienced different "graffiti" and become a variety of people. In order to let children receive the correct three views education from an early age, many ancient stories are added to the textbooks of learning, so that those positive and ethical ideas are imperceptibly integrated into the minds of children, which is also the original intention of universal education.
Many of the idiomatic allusions and celebrity orders we know today are learned from the textbooks of childhood: chiseling walls to steal light, Cai Lun making paper, Kong Rong letting pears, etc., are all knowledge in primary school textbooks. However, what is unexpected is that these touted historical figures in the textbooks when I was a child have become bad people and subverted our cognition. So what happened to these "celebrities"?
Chiseled walls steal light, and steal soil exclusively
"Chiseling the wall to steal the light" is an idiom allusion that we are very familiar with when we were young, the story is about a child who loves to read, because the family is poor and has no money to read, but he is bent on reading, so he came to a book with a lot of books in the name of part-time work, he does not want to work, the only need is to be able to lend him books to read. This family, who is also a talented person, agreed to his request, and this child who loves to read is Kuang Heng.
After Kuang Heng borrowed the book, he worked during the day and read books at night, but his family was too poor, and he did not even have the lamp money for fuel at night, and Kuang Heng almost did not have time to read, which made him feel very distressed. Later, he saw the walls of the neighbor's house shining through, so he secretly dug a hole in the wall, and the light of the neighbor's house came through, he read with a faint light every night, and grew up to become a famous Western Han Dynasty classicist, an official to the prime minister, and obviously Kuang Heng became a positive example of inspirational reading.
Kuang Heng so fond of reading, kung fu does not pay off, after growing up he has a profound and unique view of the famous work "Book of Poetry", even the Han Yuan Emperor is quite appreciative of him, Kuang Heng's career path is also rising step by step, to the Han Cheng Emperor period Kuang Heng has become the emperor of the dynasty, but at this time Kuang Heng is no longer the Kuang Heng who chisels the wall to steal the light, nor is it kuang Heng who respects the classics, he has become the "silverfish" of the country.
As the saying goes, when an official rises in temper, kuang heng not only has a temper, but also his greed increases. Kuang Heng was also made the Marquis of Le'an by emperor Yuan of Han, and rewarded him with 310,000 mu of food, which was supposedly enough for others to be noble. However, greed was not enough for snakes to swallow elephants, and Kuang Heng then illegally embezzled more than 40,000 acres of land, and later the incident occurred, and he was accused of "stealing land exclusively" and was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Hancheng. Who would have thought that Kuang Heng, who stole the light when he was a child, would become a bad person who stole the land when he grew up?
Cai Lun made paper and was involved in the palace fight
After saying the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty. Papermaking is one of the four major inventions of ancient mainland China, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper has always belonged to the nobility and even the royal family, and regard paper as a luxury, don't look at Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms to make such a great achievement, but the folds and history books he read are made of bamboo Jane. Cai Lun made an important contribution to the development of paper from aristocratic luxury to civilianization, and Cai Lun's papermaking has also become a celebrity anecdote known to women and children.
Cai Lun's origin is not high, the ancestors have lived by playing iron, as a blacksmith there is not much to do, but by chance, Guiyang County Taishou set up iron officials after taking office, which brought vitality to the Cai family, the days slowly flourished, and officials also climbed the relationship, Cai Lun grew up in such an environment, he is not a person who reads dead books, he is very fond of observing the surrounding things, from farming and production to craftsman technology, he has dabbled in one by one, becoming a practical talent with both knowledge and ability.
During the reign of Emperor Hanming, Cai Lun entered the palace and became a eunuch, and with his knowledge became a person of Empress Dou's instrument, and at this time, Emperor Hanming wanted to make the son of The Princess Song Guiren a prince, which immediately caused Empress Dou's dissatisfaction, and under her and Cai Lun's planning, Song Guiren was killed, and when Emperor Hanming died, Empress Dou's son naturally ascended the throne, Empress Dou became Empress Dou, and Cai Lun also became Empress Dou's confidant.
It's just that the palace is unpredictable, who can think that the son of Song Guiren, who was killed at the beginning, later became the emperor, Cai Lun as an accessory certainly could not escape the interference, after the Han An Emperor began to settle old accounts, Cai Lun, a hero who was official to the Marquis of Longting for inventing papermaking, was interrogated and investigated, Cai Lun was not willing to suffer this humiliation, and a glass of poisoned wine learned of his life. Who would have thought that a generation of paper-making inventors would be involved in a palace fight and eventually fall prey to politics?
Kong Rong let the pear die of filial piety
Kong Rong let the pear be a well-known filial piety story when we were young. Kong Rong was the youngest child in the family when he was a child, but when he ate pears, he picked the smallest to eat, and when others asked him why, he said: "Little child, the law should take the small." Therefore, "Kong Rong let the pear" become a classic story of educating children to know humility and filial piety, but they did not expect that Kong Rong's death was actually due to filial piety.
Kong Rong is the twentieth grandson of Confucius, Confucius as the founder and spokesman of Confucianism, after experiencing the ideological positioning of "deposing the Hundred Schools of Confucianism", the descendants of the Kong family have been valued by the imperial court for generations, Kong Rong grew up in such an environment, after having "Kong Rong let the pear", after becoming an adult, he also received the attention of the world and became "one of the seven sons of Jian'an", with his talent, he was also a prominent figure at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was once elected as the minister of state of the Beihai State.
However, Kong Rong only relied on his righteousness to serve the Han Dynasty in his lifetime, and in the face of the three kingdoms, he was bent on favoring the Han Dynasty, believing that the Han Dynasty was the right lord, and he was quite displeased with an ambitious person like Cao Cao, and often issued some fierce speeches to attack Cao Cao, which offended Cao Cao. Of course, Cao Cao's qi could not tolerate Kong Rong's self-sustaining Qinggao spit master, and he finally grabbed Kong Rong's handle and put him to death at once.
Kong Rong once said, "What kind of relative should the Father be to the Son?" In its original meaning, it is actually the ear of lust. The son is to the mother, and the son is also reverent? For example, in the middle of the hermitage, out is out of the way. This means that the relationship between father and son is only the product of lust, and the mother-child relationship is just something in a crock pot, and there is no connection between the two after it is taken out. Such unfilial remarks were the crime of killing the head at that time, so Cao Cao killed Kong Rong on this ground, and it was full of cuts, and even his wife and children were not spared.
brief summary
Chiseled wall stealing light, Cai Lun papermaking, Kong Rong let pears such a classic story is remembered by the world, to modern times, the protagonists in the story are these touted historical figures in the textbooks of childhood, but people did not expect that they had become bad people, knowing their later endings only subverted our cognition, people can't help but think of a line: only know the beginning of the story, but did not guess the end of the story.
