A genius, Xiang Tuo.
Xiang Tuo, a child prodigy of Juguo (now Rizhao City, Shandong Province) in the Spring and Autumn Period, was accepted as a teacher by Confucius at the age of seven. Later, Xiang Tuo was honored as a saint. "Warring States Policy Qin Ce V": "Gan Luo said:' Fu was born at the age of seven and was the teacher of Confucius. Now I was born here at the age of twelve! "How dare you try, Xi accused it with slander?" "Later, Xiang Tuo was called a precocious child.
It is worth mentioning the relationship between Xiang Yu and Xiang Tuo. Shi Xiang is the ancestor of Shi Xiang, Xiang Tuo is the grandson of Shi Xiang, Xiangrong is the father of Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang are brothers. We can clearly see the blood relationship between Xiang Tuo and Xiang Yu.
Prodigy II, Ganluo
During the Warring States Period, the grandson of Gan Mao, a famous minister of Qin State, and his grandfather, Gan Mao, were both very capable politicians of Qin State and once served as the left prime minister of Qin State. As the saying goes, "wise men come from relatives." Gan Luo was exceptionally clever when he was young, but his grandfather died in a foreign country because he was excluded by his colleagues. Ganluo was at his wit's end, so he had to condescend to Lv Buwei, the powerful minister of Qin State, as a diner.
When Ganluo was twelve years old, he sent a mission to Zhao, which enabled Qin to get more than a dozen cities. Ganluo was named Shangqing (equivalent to the prime minister) by Qin Shihuang for his work, which was divided into fields and houses. Then Ganluo disappeared from the official records after he came back from Zhao. It is speculated by later generations that Ganluo may have died soon after returning from Zhao. However, some people speculate that Ganluo was beheaded by the King of Qin.
Prodigy three Cao Chong
Cao Chong is Cao Cao's favorite son. It is said that Cao Cao will give up his seat to Cao Chong. Unfortunately, Cao Chong died in his teens at the age of 13. If Cao Chong doesn't die, history may change.
Cao Chong showed amazing talent and strong understanding ability since he was a child, and his intelligence reached the level of an adult by the age of five or six. The most famous story about Cao Chong is the image of Cao Chong.
Sun Quan of Soochow once gave Cao Cao an elephant. Cao Cao wanted to know the weight of the elephant, so he asked his subordinates. As a result, no one can think of a solution.
This is what Cao Chong said: "Put the elephant on the big ship, carve a mark on the hull when the water mark overflows, and then weigh the goods and load them on the ship, and compare them."
Cao Cao was very happy and immediately implemented this method, so he knew the weight of the elephant.
There is also a story in the newspaper that Cao Cao was under great pressure and the criminal law was very strict.
Once, a saddle in the warehouse was bitten by a mouse, which happened to be Cao Cao's. The soldiers in the warehouse management were frightened and thought that they must be doomed and dead. When Cao Chong found out, he cut a small hole in his clothes with a knife and pretended to be bitten by a mouse, with a sad face. Cao Cao saw it and asked him what was wrong.
He replied, "Everyone says that clothes are bitten by rats, and the owner of the clothes will suffer misfortune."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "That's all nonsense. There will be no luck or misfortune at all. "
Later, the soldier in charge of the warehouse truthfully reported the mouse biting the saddle. Cao Cao understood Cao Chong's intention and smiled, so he didn't pursue the matter again.
Prodigy four,
There is a cloud in the three-character scripture: at the age of four, you can make pears, brothers and dragons, and be prophets. It is a miracle that a four-year-old child knows how to be modest. Kong Rong was ten years old and went to Luoyang with his father. Li Yuanli became famous. The people who come to you are either talented, famous or relatives at the middle table. Only when the cabinet members were willing to deliver the message, Kong Rong came to the Li family alone and said to the doorman, "I am a relative of the Li family." After he delivered the message, the doorman invited people to meet him at the mansion. Li Yuanli asked, "What is your relationship with your servant?" Kong Rong said to Japan: "The ancestor Zhong Ni (Confucius) and the ancestor Bo Yang (Laozi) have the friendship of asking questions, and it is very good to take your servant as your friend." This sentence comes from a child of 10 years old, which surprised Li Yuanli and the guests present. Dr. Yang Chen, a Chinese medicine doctor, arrived later and heard about it. He said, "It's time, but it's not necessarily good to be older."
Smart when you are young, not necessarily good when you grow up. This is a very common thing. Unexpectedly, Kong Rong replied, "I was a pawn when I was young." A 10-year-old child, the celebrity was tongue-tied in one sentence, and Kong Rong's quick thinking was really amazing. But Kong Rong's ending is tragic, and there is another sad tidbit: when he was arrested, his eldest son was nine years old and his youngest son was eight years old. "The second son is embarrassed to cut his nails"-he is absorbed in playing some kind of game. Kong Rong also asked the messenger with luck: "I am a good man, can I let my child go?" Unexpectedly, the son inherited his early wisdom and said slowly, "Did Dad see any eggs under the nest?" . "Under the cover of the nest, has Ann finished laying eggs?" This idiom was invented from the mouths of these two children. It can be seen from these words that his children not only inherited his eloquence genes, but also had extraordinary insights beyond his knowledge. It's a pity that history killed these two children in a hurry without giving them enough opportunities to show themselves, which really made people hide it and took a long breath.
