There are famous poets, famous scholars, Confucius, the grandson of Confucius, and Liu Gongquan, a famous calligrapher. By reading this record, we can find that if we want to call the Tang Dynasty a "prodigy", we must cross several thresholds: First, writing poems and articles when young is basically a strict rule. We can find that almost all the writers mentioned above are talented writers, and their first works appeared earlier than before. The earliest were Quan Deyu and Xiao, who began to show their talents at the age of four. Secondly, most people should be good at memorizing, and their minds should be full of wonderful words and phrases. This requirement is also easy to understand. Just like today, we met the children next door. They can recite more than a dozen Tang poems fluently, and they are full of praise for their intelligence. As we all know, in the Tang Dynasty, some of these prodigies recited thousands of words every day, and some even recited Thirteen Classics and Historical Records. This should be put forward today. This incident was caught by the media and became a hot headline. Finally, you should take the imperial examination as early as possible and get ahead, that is to say, you should have the status of a civil servant. The sooner you name it, the more famous you become. For example, Ada worshipped the secretary to save orthography at the age of eight, and Zhang Tongzi worshipped the secretary at the age of nine. Zhang Tongzi held the same ceremony for Hanshu and Han Yu. You know, Han Yu is 25 years old this year. In addition, there is a talented young woman on the list who can write poetry at the age of seven. Datang is interesting! However, being a child prodigy can only be regarded as an important step towards success, and there is no guarantee that life will reach its peak in the future. Because most of the outstanding figures in the Tang Dynasty that we know today are not among the prodigies. For example, Han Yu, who suffered the decline of the Eight Dynasties, was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 25, and Zhang Tongzi was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 9, the same year as Changli. However, Han Yu later became a first-rate figure in the history of literary thought in the Tang Dynasty, while Zhang Tongzi was unknown. Of course, reading more books in the early years is good for personal growth. Therefore, after listing this list, Hu Shi can't help feeling and hope: "Today's dolphins and dogs, however, understand Li Li's ears and get along well!"
