2. The name of Sima Guang is Junshi (the word is similar to today's nickname). His father's name is Sima Chi, and he was appointed as the official name of the Song Dynasty. When Sima Guang was 7 years old, he was already like an adult (the ancient adult refers to a weak crown, not 18 years old now). He was told that Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals was particularly fond of it. When he came back, he would tell his family about it. From then on, I couldn't put it down for Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, and even forgot hunger, thirst, cold and heat. A group of children were playing in the courtyard. One child stood on the vat (urn refers to vat) and fell into the vat and was flooded. All the other children ran away. Sima Guang broke the vat with a stone, from which water flowed out, and the children were able to live. After that, people in Chang 'an and Luoyang recorded it with pictures and spread it widely. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Renzong Baoyu was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. When I was just twenty years old, I didn't like luxury by nature. When I heard the wedding banquet, only (I) didn't wear flowers. The people around me told him, "(Flowers are) given by the king, so I can't violate (don't wear)." I just inserted a flower (on the brim).
3. Among the people near the Great Wall, there is a man who is proficient in mathematical skills. Their horse ran to the residence of the Hu people for no reason. Neighbors came to comfort him for this. The old man said, "Why isn't this a good thing?" After several months, his horse came back with the Hu people's fine horse. Neighbors came to congratulate him. The old man said, "Why isn't this a bad thing?" There are many good horses in his family. His son likes riding horses, so he fell off his horse and broke his thigh. People came to comfort him. The man said, "Why isn't this a good thing?" After a year, the Hu people invaded the Great Wall on a large scale, and all the mature men took up bows and arrows to fight. Most people near the Great Wall are dead. Only this man was lame (not recruited to fight), and his father and son were able to save their lives together.
4. When Cao Chong, the son of Cao Cao, grew up to five or six years old, his knowledge and judgment could be comparable to that of an adult. Once, Sun Quan sent a giant elephant. Cao Cao wanted to know the weight of the elephant and asked his subordinates, but he couldn't say how to weigh it. Cao Chong said: "Put the elephant on the big ship, mark the place where it reaches the water surface, and then let the ship carry other things, so you can know by comparison." Cao Cao was very happy to hear this and did it immediately.
5. Prime Minister Zhang likes to write cursive script (cursive script), but it is very untidy. People laughed at him, but he didn't think so. One day, he suddenly got a good sentence and quickly asked for pen and ink. The words were very scribbled and he wrote all over the paper. He immediately asked his nephew to transcribe the poem. My nephew was puzzled when he copied the strange strokes, so he stopped writing and asked Prime Minister Zhang what words he had written. After careful identification for a long time, Prime Minister Zhang didn't recognize what he wrote, so he scolded his nephew and said, "Why didn't you ask me earlier, so that I forgot what I wrote."
I'm sorry, time is limited, that's all.
