There is no problem with strength, so why did Ceng Gong, as the eight masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, exist so low? The reason is simple, because his exposure is very low. In the textbooks of junior high school and senior high school, except Ceng Gong, several other eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties chose prose or poetry to some extent. No articles or poems have been popularized, so Ceng Gong has a low sense of natural existence.
The Eight Great Writers in Tang and Song Dynasties, also known as "Eight Great Writers in Tang and Song Dynasties", are the collective names of eight essayists in China, including Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu in Tang Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi and Ceng Gong in Song Dynasty.
Among them, Liu Zongyuan's Jiang Xue even appeared in primary school textbooks. In middle school textbooks, Han Yu's "Teacher's Theory"; Needless to say, Su Shi's "Water Tune" and Su Xun's "Six Kingdoms" were also selected; Su Zhe, as a "three Su" and his literary attainments, will appear in his notes together with Su Shi; Wang Anshi's "Spring breeze is green in Jiang Nanan, when will the bright moon shine on me" has always been praised; Ouyang Xiu's Preface to Drunk Pavilion is also a classic recitation in high school. No one from Ceng Gong showed up.
