Gong was a famous scholar at that time. When I was a teenager, I was a small official, but I was exempted from my official position because I broke the law. Then there was no money and I had to raise pigs for a living. At the age of forty, Gong began to study. Although Gong was old at this time, he still became a famous scholar at that time through hard study and was regarded as a typical late bloomer in history. At the age of 60, Gong was elected as an official, but because he didn't like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was relieved of his post and returned to his hometown.
During his stay at the palace, Liang Wudi issued several imperial edicts to recruit talents. In BC 130, it was recommended to Beijing again. At that time, Liang Wudi raised the question of heaven and man. Although some suggestions made by Gong are often considered to be general, they were considered to be the best at that time. In addition, despite his advanced age, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Gong as a doctor.
Every time GongSunHong expresses his opinions, he can finish. He never advocated that everything was chosen by Emperor Wu himself, and his character was good and honest, which won the trust of Emperor Wu. Later, it became one of the three fairs. Later, due to the ousting of former Prime Minister Xue Ze, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty intended Gong Weicheng to be a minister, but before that, all prime ministers could only serve as ministers, and Gong was never appointed, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed him as Hou, which was a precedent for later Prime Minister Gong Kai.

Gong was the first prime minister since the Western Han Dynasty. His reign coincided with the prosperous period of Hanwu, and he made great contributions to the popularization and development of Confucianism at that time. Besides, his life is very legendary. He was a poor man in his early years and didn't start studying hard until he was 40. There is also a story about cutting bamboo slips and studying hard.

It is said that GongSunHong was poor in his early years and had no money. At first, he was a jailer. Later, because of breaking the law, I lost my financial resources and had to go to the sea to raise pigs. He didn't start studying until he was in his forties. He began to study the Spring and Autumn Period without being confused. Finally, he chose an ancient book about the biography of the ram to study. But at that time, Gong was actually poor and had no money. Most of his income is used to support his family, and there is no extra money to buy books for him to study, so he cuts bamboo into pieces when he puts pigs in the bamboo forest, and then borrows books from others and copies them on bamboo slips to study.
Although Gong started studying very late, it can be said that he began to make progress when he was old, but he was not too old to be ambitious. Even at this age, Gong's efforts paid off. At this time, a college student majoring in ram biography returned to his hometown in his later years. Gong was preparing to study the biography of the ram, so he got a lot of help and became a famous local scholar, which attracted people's attention. Even if it was recommended for the first time at that time, it was returned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was recommended for the second time, and later even reached the top of the three fairs. Gong's story of reading and cutting bamboo slips tells us that if you are interested in reading, you don't need to worry about getting old. Even when you are old, you can achieve something.

Gong Sun Hong was a minister in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was a famous and good minister at that time. Although he is in a high position, he is not arrogant at all. On the contrary, he is very modest and honest. He even has a story of wearing linen to cover the quilt, which shows his honesty.

Gong is a very honest man. Although there are many questions about his character in history, it is undeniable that he was indeed a very simple person when he was in office. According to historical records, there was a minister, Ji An, who once played the role of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although Gong is an empire with high salary and honesty, he always wears coarse clothes and covers himself with a simple quilt. This is an act of stealing the world's reputation. He is not a good minister. Faced with such doubts, Gong praised Ji An's honesty and frankness, and then quoted Guan Zhong's story of courtesy and frugality to prove that such a move was just to imitate the sages. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that Gong Sun Hong was a very modest person and treated him well.
Later, Gong became prime minister, which was very simple. He personally demonstrated frugality and became an example to people at that time. He only eats one kind of meat and coarse rice every meal, and his salary is used to support his friends and guests. There was no spare money at home, and all the scholars at that time worshipped him and regarded him as an idol. Moreover, the palace is not only very simple to eat and wear by itself, but also very simple to entertain old friends. Once, an old friend of his came to see him and thought that Gong was the prime minister after all and should always be kind to himself. As a result, Gong only gave him a simple meal and a linen quilt, and he was very angry. He also has such rough rice cloth. Gong felt ashamed, so his good friend said to outsiders, "Gong's duplicity can't set an example for the world." Therefore, GongSunHong's honesty attracted suspicion, and it also made GongSunHong sigh that it was not easy to entertain an old friend.
