The story of Gong Yu moving mountains: There is an old man in his nineties in Beishan, whose name is Gong Yu. There are two mountains in front of his house, Taihang Mountain and Wuwang Mountain, which are inconvenient to get in and out. Yugong discussed with his family and wanted to dig up these two mountains. Gong Yu's wife wants to know where to put stones and dirt on the mountain. Regardless of this, Gong Yu and his sons began to transport the excavated soil and stones to the Bohai Sea far away, only once a year. An old man named Zhisou in Hequ advised Gong Yu not to be stupid. How can he dig Hirayama at his age? Yu Gong said, "When I die, I have a son. When my son dies, I have a grandson, and the grandson has a son. How can we dig uneven mountains if we continue to work for generations? " The Emperor of Heaven was moved by the spirit of Yu Gong. He sent two gods and took away two mountains. Gong Yu mobilized the whole family to conquer the tall and big mountains; Old and weak; Few people; On the surface, great difficulties like simple tools and long-distance transportation seem "stupid". However, Yu Gong was not intimidated by the immediate difficulties because he had great ambitions. It can be seen from "referring to the south of Henan and reaching Hanyin" that he moved mountains to benefit thousands of people and future generations in Qian Qian, Qian Qian. In addition, his confidence in moving mountains comes from his correct understanding of the relationship between man and nature. He understands that human strength is "infinite" and "the mountains do not increase". His knowledge is far higher than the average person, and he is really "still smarter than a fool". Wan Zhi, on the other hand, only looks at the problem from a static perspective, thinks that natural conditions cannot be changed, and only sees the strength of a generation, thus drawing the conclusion that people are powerless in the face of nature, which is really "short-sighted". The above analysis shows that fools are not stupid and wise men are not wise. This inversion not only intensifies the contrast tone, but also has an ironic effect.

At that time, books were so valuable that people who had books refused to lend them to others easily. During the busy farming season, Kuang Heng worked as a short-term worker for wealthy families and asked them to lend him books for free. A few years later, Kuang Heng grew up and became the main labor force in the family. He works in the field all day, and only has time to read a little book during his lunch break, so it often takes ten days and a half months to finish reading a book. Kuang Heng was in a hurry, thinking: planting crops during the day, no time to read, you can spend more time reading at night. But Kuang Heng's family is too poor to buy oil for lighting. What shall we do One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed reciting the books he had read during the day. Behind me, I suddenly saw a light coming through the east wall. He stood up and walked to the wall. It turned out that the neighbor's lights came through the cracks in the wall. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he picked up a knife and dug several cracks in the wall. In this way, the light coming through is also very big, so he gathered the light coming through and began to read.

As thick as a pestle, how can it be ground into a needle? " The old woman smiled and said, "As long as you grind this pestle every day, you can grind it more and more finely. Are you afraid it won't work? " Li Bai, a clever man, was ashamed of himself after hearing this. He turned and ran back to the bookstore.
