This small county town is Xiuning County, located in Guhui Prefecture, which is now part of Huangshan City, Anhui Province. According to local county records, Xiuning County was founded in the thirteenth year of jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in 208 AD, and has a history of more than 1800 years, which can be described as a thousand-year-old city. Today's Xiuning County has a permanent population of about 270,000 people, and in ancient times, there were only more than 10,000 people, but there were 19 titles here, which is unique in the country. So which 19 are they? Xiaobian will give you a list of them one by one:
The first: Cheng Ruochuan, who has been courageous since childhood, Southern Song Dynasty Wu Zhuangyuan, Ren Jiancheng, Taishou and other positions;
The second: Wu Qian, who has been brilliant since childhood, You Shan Shiwen, Jiading Ten Years (1217) Yuan, Ren Zuo Cheng.

So what is the reason for the talent here? There are many summaries on the Internet, and Xiaobian summarized the following three:
First: Xiuning people attach great importance to education, and master the appropriate way of education, and then pass it on from generation to generation to make it flourish.
Second: Xiuning people have enough education funds, in the ancient Huizhou area, the development of Huishang brought a large number of living materials, as well as rich commercial profits, so that people can have no worries about food and clothing, immersed in reading and learning.
Third, the superior geographical environment, Xiuning County is at the junction of Zhejiang and Gansu provinces, so that different ideas and cultures can be blended, so that people's thinking and vision can be opened, is no longer the kind of state of reading dead books.
For the above three points, Xiaobian does not agree with it, why? The reason is simple:
Through the scientific examination experience of 19 Xiuning yuan, it can be found that they all won the exam once, did not take the exam once, went home to study hard and then took the exam again, has been tested n times, and finally the kind of very inspirational and painful experience that makes people look at the tears. Almost all of them are talented, giving people the feeling that they have easily been admitted to the top. What does this illustrate?
One of the things Einstein said may be the ultimate answer to the "champion event": genius is 1% inspiration plus 99% sweat. In fact, there is a second half of this sentence: but the 1% inspiration is more important.
This shows that talent is more important than hard study, and the example of these 19-bit champions also shows that this talent > work hard!
Kao University is described as a thousand troops crossing a single wooden bridge, who wants to say that talent > efforts, who will be spit on, but the small editor has checked the history of Xiuning's 19-bit scientific expedition and found that "talent > effort" This is the truth, but also the truth!
Xiaobian is not opposed to studying hard, can not be re-examined, has been taking the exam n times, and finally admitted to the university of choice of the firm choice. You know, anyone's efforts are worthy of respect, but what Xiaobian wants to say is that if you change to another way of "playing to your own strengths", it may be easier to succeed.
