Zhang and Yang.
Li Dongyang became famous at the age of four. On the snow-white rice paper, the worker wrote in big letters one foot square. Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu warmly received him and held him in his arms to feed the fruit.

People asked him and replied, "There are trees on the roadside, but there are many seeds, which will make plums bitter." Accept it and believe it. -This story about bitter plum on the roadside was first recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu. This philosophical short story makes us put Wang Rong into the ranks of prodigies without hesitation. If Cao Chong's talent lies in solving problems, then Wang Rong's talent lies in observing and summarizing.

Kong Rong
Kong Rong was ten years old and went to Luoyang with his father. Li Yuanli became famous. Those 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 the door officer took a message for him, he invited people to meet. 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 common thing, but not for Kong Rong. Unexpectedly, Kong Rong replied, "When I was young, I became a pawn."
Here, a technique of rest is used, which means that Chen Yi is now "big may not be good". Yang Chen was so embarrassed by this counterattack that he could not speak for a moment. A 10-year-old child, the celebrity was tongue-tied in one sentence, and Kong Rong's quick thinking was really amazing.

Eight prodigies in ancient China
Xiang Tuo: A child prodigy, he was a teacher of saints at the age of seven.
U Jianghu life:
He was once worshipped as a teacher by Confucius, the Great Sage. "Holy Amethyst" records: "In the past, Zhongni studied in Xiang Tuo, was an ancient sage and was diligent in learning." The late Buddha Xiang Tuo was a saint, hence his name.
Main story: Xiang Tuo has three difficulties and Zhong Ni.
According to ancient books, Confucius gave lectures at the Lushan altar, with 3,000 disciples and 72 sages. It is said that there is a city of discipline barriers in the South China Sea, and people around it are honest and knowledgeable. One day, Confucius and his disciples planned to travel to the East. After riding several times, horses and chariots came to this monument, but they saw beautiful mountains and rivers and rich land. While joking with his disciples, he rode eastward and saw some playful children hiding in the road ahead. There is only one child standing quietly on the road, and that child is Xiang Tuo. When Luz saw it, he stopped and shouted, but he still didn't move. Confucius leaned over in the car and asked, "What's the point of an ignorant urchin blocking the road?" Xiang Tuo was very unhappy when he saw the old man's rude words. He decided to Doby these people, saying: "The city is here, and the horses and chariots can pass safely." Confucius said, "Where is the city?" "The first step is completed." Confucius condescended to get off the bus to see the extraordinary temperament of the child. When he saw the child standing in a "city" made of stone, Confucius smiled and said, "What is the use of this city?" "Royal horses and army soldiers." "Children's play, cars and horses have passed, how to stay?" "How can the city be closed?" Confucius looked at the children from top to bottom and thought, "The people in this place are really smart, even the children are really so smart. Let me examine them carefully. " . So Confucius asked again, "But?" Xiang Tuo Jr. did not panic and calmly responded: "From the past to the present, I only heard that cars avoided cities. Where have I heard of city car avoidance? " When Confucius heard this, he was speechless and had to bypass the "city". Confucius and his disciples were teased by this and were very unhappy. Seeing a farmer hoeing the ground by the roadside, Luz deliberately asked, "What does this farmer do?" The farmer replied, "mow the grass." "Look at you, you are very busy. I don't know how many degrees you lift in your hand every day? " Seeing that the farmer couldn't answer, the master and the apprentice were about to feel glad. Xiang Tuo came after him and replied, "My father hoes the ground every year, knowing how many times his things are lifted every day. If he walks, he must ride. I must know how many times I lift my horseshoe every day? " Luz is dumb. Confucius saw that children were clever and alert, which was rare in other countries, and they were only prodigies, so he got off the bus and made a careful investigation. "For you are a child with extraordinary intelligence, how about you and I each give a question and answer each other, and the winner is the teacher?" Xiang Tuo said, "Don't play with me." . "The child has not been cheated." Confucius went on to say: "Being born in the world, relying on the stars of the sun, the moon and the earth to produce grains can support many creatures. Let's ask children, how many stars are there in the sky and how many grains are there on earth? " . Xiang Tuo said, "There are 3,363,600 stars in the sky, and the grains on the ground are millet, millet, millet and rice." After a while, Xiang Tuo asked, "The human body is smaller than the earth, and the eyebrows are lower than the sky. I have two eyebrows on my eyes, which I can see every day. Everybody knows that. Does the master know how many eyebrows there are? " Confucius was wrong. According to a gentleman's agreement, he was about to ask his teacher how to study. Xiang Tuo has jumped into a nearby pond. Somehow, Confucius surfaced and said, "You can only salute after taking a bath, and the owner can also take a bath." Confucius said, "I have never learned to swim, and I am afraid of sinking but not floating." . Xiang Tuo said: "Otherwise, ducks don't learn to swim, but float rather than sink." Ducks are not heavy because they have hair out of water. "Gourd is hairless without water, floating but not sinking". The gourd is round and hollow, so it doesn't sink. "The clock is round and empty. Why doesn't it sink and float?" . Confucius was speechless. After Xiang Tuo bathed, Confucius put on record to salute and worshipped Xiang Tuo as his teacher. Later, there was the legend of "Xiang Tuo's Three Difficult Confucius". Confucius was honored as a saint in later generations, so this little Xiang Tuo was also honored as a "saint".

Gan Luo: Twelve-year-old prodigy.
Jianghu life: twelve years old, named Shangqing.
Main deeds:
Sima Qian, the Taishi Duke, made a biography of Gan Mao in Historical Records (7 1), and described Ganluo's 12-year-old worship in detail with the spring and autumn brushwork.
"Gan Luo, sun also. After Mao's death, Ganluo was twelve years old and served as a minister in Qin and Buwei. "
His grandfather, Gan Mao, was a famous figure in Qin State, and once served as the left prime minister of Qin State. Under the guidance of grandpa, Ganluo was smart and eloquent from an early age and was deeply loved by his family.
At that time, the State of Qin tried to attack Zhao with the State of Yan, and planned to send Minister Zhang Tang to the State of Yan, but Zhang Tang refused. Lv Buwei was at his wit's end, and Ganluo volunteered to persuade Zhang Tang to take his place. Lv Buwei didn't believe him at first. Gan Luo said confidently, "Xiang Tuo became Confucius' teacher when he was seven years old. Now I 12 years old. Can't you let me have a try? " Lv Buwei had to agree to his request.
Gan Luo drove to Zhang Tang and said, "In those days, Wu disobeyed Hou's orders to attack Zhao, was driven out of Xianyang and died. Now Wen Xinhou's power is much greater than that of Ying Hou. If you disobey his orders, it seems that your death is not far away! " Hearing this, Zhang Tang was so scared that he promised to go to see Yan.
With the consent of the government, Gan Luo went to Zhao to lobby according to the intention of Qin State to expand Hejian County. In view of Zhao Wang's psychological state that Qin Yan's alliance is unfavorable to Zhao, he went to great lengths to say: "Qin Yan's alliance is nothing more than trying to occupy the land between Zhao and the river." If you cede the five cities of Hejian to the State of Qin, I can go back and persuade the King of Qin to cancel the mission of Zhang Tang and sever the alliance with the State of Yan. When the time comes, when you attack Yan, Qin will never interfere, and Zhao will have as many as five cities! " Zhao Wang was overjoyed and gave Ganluo the map and household registration of Hejian 5 cities. Ganluo returned with a full load, and Qin won the land of Hejian without a single soldier. The King of Qin named Ganluo, who was 0/2 years old, as Shangqing, and gave him the land that was named Gan Mao in that year. Because the rank of prime minister was similar to that of Shangqing at that time, people inferred that Ganluo was the prime minister of 12 years old.

Posterity evaluation:
Taishi Gong said: Gan Luo is young, but he wants to make a surprise plan and call himself a descendant. Although he was not a filial gentleman, he was also a counselor in the Warring States period. When Qin Fang is powerful, the world is especially eager to cheat.
Cao Chong: A prodigy with strong spirit.
Jianghu life:
Cao Chong, the son of Cao Cao, was very clever since he was a child. When he was five or six years old, his intelligence was similar to that of an adult. There are allusions to Cao Chong scales in history.
Main deeds:
Cao Chong's life story was recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms by Chen Shou of the Three Kingdoms.
Deng baryon. Mrs. Muhuan, the son of Emperor Wu, was born at the age of five or six and has the wisdom of an adult. At that time, Sun Quan once gave birth to a giant elephant, and Mao wanted to know its weight. It is impossible to be reasonable under the group he visited. Chong said, "Put it on a big ship, carve its water mark, weigh it, transport it, and you will know." Mao is very sharp, that is how to implement it.
When the army makes trouble, the punishment is heavy. Mao's saddle was in the warehouse, but it was bitten by a mouse. The shopkeeper is afraid of death. He wants to face the crime, but he is still afraid. Chong said, "Stay for three days and then go home." Rushing to take a knife and wear a light coat, like a mouse biting, was mistaken for frustration and looked sad. When Mao asked him, he said to him, "People think it is unlucky for mice to bite clothes. Today, I was worried when I saw my teeth alone. " Mao said, "There is nothing wrong with this nonsense." When the shopkeeper heard about the saddle bite, Mao smiled and said, "My clothes are on one side and I'm still biting. How can I be a pillar in Anxian? " No questions asked. Kindness and insight are all the same. There are dozens of people who should be blamed by the culprit, argued by Chongwei, and rely on their help. Taizu Shu told the ministers that he wanted to pass it on.
Thirteen years, Jian' an died in thirteen years, and Taizu pleaded. And death, very sad. Emperor Wen boasted to Mao, who said, "This is my misfortune, and you are Cao Cao's luck." I shed tears when I said this. In order to hire Zhen Shiyin's dead daughter to be buried with her, I gave a seal to a riding captain and named Wan Hou as the queen. In twenty-two years, Cong was named Deng Hou. In the second year, posthumous title Deng Aihou was added as a public official.
In fact, this section of the History of the Three Kingdoms contains two stories, one of which is the well-known story of Cao Chong Scale.
The latter story is about Cao Cao's army conquering the world and ordering it to be banned. The criminal law is very strict, which leads to frequent unjust cases. Once, a saddle in the warehouse was bitten by a mouse, which happened to be Cao Cao's. The storekeeper was frightened and thought that he 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 happiness or misfortune at all. " I don't know if Cao Cao is a materialist, but from here we can see that Cao Cao is a very realistic person. Later, he prayed for Cao Chong, showing his worries. The storekeeper still truthfully reported that the mouse was going to break the saddle. Cao Cao understood Cao Chong's intention, smiled and didn't pursue it. Judging from these two things, Cao Chong Jr. is a prodigy of the Three Kingdoms.

Wang Bo went to visit, and the satrap of Yan heard of his reputation and invited him to a banquet. Yan's party is to show off the talent of his son-in-law Meng. Let the son-in-law prepare a preface in advance and show it to everyone as an impromptu writing during the dinner. At the banquet, the governor of Yan asked people to take out paper and pen, pretending to let everyone preface this great event. Everyone knew his intention, so they refused to write, but Wang Bo, a young junior in his twenties, didn't refuse. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote in public. Yan's boss was unhappy, so he brushed his clothes and transferred them to his account to show people what Wang Bo had written. I heard that Wang Bo wrote at the beginning that "Nanchang is the old capital and Hongdu is the new house", and the Governor said, "This is just a cliche. I also heard that "the stars are divided into wings, and the ground meets Lu Heng", and I was thoughtful and silent. When he heard that "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, and the autumn waters are the same color," the governor had to gasp in admiration: "This is a genius, and it should be immortal!" . "Biography of Talented Talents in the Tang Dynasty" records: "Bo delightedly teased guests, and he did it in an instant. Without adding a word, the room was full of surprises."
