Kong Rong gave up the biggest pear.
When Kong Rong was a child, he was smart, studious, flexible and answered irrelevant questions. Everyone praised him as a child prodigy. At the age of four, he could recite many poems and poems, and he knew manners. His parents love him very much.
One day, my father bought some pears and specially selected a new pear for Kong Rong. Kong Rong shook his head, but picked the smallest pear and said, "I'm the youngest. I should eat a small pear. Give your pear to my brother. " Father was very surprised and asked, "Is that brother younger than you?" Kong Rong said, "My brother is younger than me, so I should give it to him." Kong Rong let the story of pear spread all over Qufu, and it has been handed down all the time, which has become a good example for many parents to educate their children.
When Kong Rong was a child, he not only studied hard, but also was good at thinking. Father always takes him with him when he goes out to visit guests. 10 years old, came to Luoyang with his father. Li Yingfu, the prefect of Luoyang. At this time, the doorman quickly pulled it and asked, "Which child are you? Go and play! " Kong Rong replied seriously: "Please go in and announce that Kong Rong, Shandong Province is visiting." "The gatekeeper saw that he was serious and didn't know who he was. He smiled and asked, "Little childe, do you have any red stickers?" "Kong Rong said," My family has been in contact with your master for generations. You don't need a red sticker, just notice. "The gatekeeper was afraid of mistreating the distinguished guests, so he had to go in and report back. At this time, Mars was talking with many literati. After listening to the briefing, he couldn't remember the relationship between Kong Rong and his family for a while, so he had to laugh and say, "Come in!" Kong Rong Jr. walked into the hall excitedly, greeting the host and guests, with a supercilious attitude. When giving up his seat, Mars looked at the handsome boy and wondered, This child has never met before, but why does he claim to know his family? So, Mars asked, "Little Childe, you said that our two families have been friends for generations. Why can't I remember! Kong Rong said with a smile, "Five hundred years ago, Confucius asked Lao Tzu for a gift. Confucius' surname is Kong, and Laozi's surname is Li. It can be seen that Confucius and Li have a teacher-student relationship for 500 years. Today, your surname is Li and my surname is Kong. It is also a teacher-student relationship. Aren't our two families a family for life? "
Kong Rong surprised everyone, and all the guests here were secretly amazed. Li Ying, the satrap, couldn't help laughing: "Little childe is really a child prodigy." Only Dr. Yang Chen, a Chinese medicine doctor, disagreed and said coldly, "People who are smart when they are young may not succeed when they grow up." Facing the challenge, Kong Rong smiled and said, "In this way, my husband must have been very smart when he was a child." This clever answer made Chen Wei blush and speechless, and secretly sat there angry. Kong Rong else, pretending to be an adult, seriously drinking tea, made everyone laugh.
China's traditional short stories II:
As long as you make up your mind and work hard, no matter how difficult it is, you can succeed.
Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child. He often plays truant and wanders in the street.
One day, Li Bai did not go to school again. He wandered about the street, looked around and unconsciously arrived outside the city. Warm sunshine, cheerful bird songs and flowers swaying with the wind made Li Bai sigh, "How boring it is to study in the house all day in such good weather?"
Walking, at the door of a shabby hut, a white-haired old woman is grinding an iron pestle as thick as a stick. Li Bai walked over. "What are you doing, old woman?"
"I want to grind this iron pestle into an embroidery needle." The old woman looked up, smiled at Li Bai, and then lowered her head to continue grinding.
"Embroidered needle?" Li Bai asked again, "Is it an embroidery needle for sewing clothes?"
"Of course!"
"But, the iron pestle is so thick, when can it be ground into a fine embroidery needle?"
The old woman asked Li Bai, "A drop of water can pierce a stone, but a fool can move a mountain. Why can't an iron pestle be ground into an embroidery needle?"
"But, you are so old?"
"As long as I work harder than others, there is nothing I can't do."
Li Bai was ashamed of what the old woman said, and never played truant after he went back. I study very hard every day and finally become an immortal poet.

Mao Sui said, "It has been three years now." Ping Yuanjun said: "A wise scholar in the world is like an awl in a bag, and its tip will be revealed immediately. Now, I have been under Zhao Shengmen for three years. No one around you has praised you, and I have never heard such a compliment. This is because you have no talent. Sir can't go together, sir, please stay! " Mao Sui said, "I only asked to enter the bag today. If I had been in the bag, I would have exposed my whole edge, not just the tip, just like the sharp awn of wheat ears. " Ping Yuanjun finally went to Chu with Mao Sui.

better late than never
During the Warring States Period, there was a minister in the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Xiang of Chu: "When you were in the palace, Zhou Hou was on the left and Xiahou was on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time. You and these four people are very particular about luxury and debauchery. Regardless of national events, Ying (Chu capital, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) will be in danger! "
King Xiang was very unhappy. He scolded angrily, "Are you crazy? Deliberately saying these insidious words to confuse people? "
Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly: "I really think things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune." If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to hide in Zhao and see what will happen. "
Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and the State of Qin invaded Chu, and Wang Xiang was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now northwest of Xixian County, Henan Province). Only then did I feel that Zhuang Xin's words were good, so I quickly sent someone to get Zhuang Xin back and asked him what he could do. Zhuang Xin said sincerely: "I've heard that it's not too late to think of hounds when I see rabbit teeth;" It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away. ? "
China traditional story 8:
The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains
There are two mountains in Fiona Fang, Taihang Mountain and Wuwang Mountain, which are 700 miles above sea level and seven or eight thousand feet high. They were originally located in the south of Jizhou, on the north bank of the Yellow River.
There is a silly old man in Beishan, who is nearly ninety years old and lives directly opposite two big mountains. Gong Yu was blocked by a road in the north of the mountain, so he had to walk a long way out and in. Call the whole family to discuss and say, "You and I will try our best to dig two mountains south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of Hanshui River, okay?" Everyone agreed. His wife raised a question and said, "With your strength, you can't cut down a mountain like Kuifu. What can you do to Taihang and Wu Wang? " Besides, where do we put the mud and stones? "Everyone said," throw the earth and stone on the edge of the Bohai Sea, north of the Tibetan soil. Then Yugong led his three descendants who could carry heavy burdens, chiseling stones and digging dirt, and transporting them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. The neighbor's widow named Beijing has an orphan, who is only seven or eight years old, skipping to help them. Winter and summer change seasons only once.
The mistake of Hequ stopped Gong Yu with a smile and said, "You are so smart. With the strength of your remaining years, even the grass and trees on the mountain can't be destroyed, but what about mud and stones? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed and said, "You are stubborn and stubborn to the point where you can't change it. You are worse than widows and weak children. Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; Children and grandchildren are inexhaustible, and mountains do not increase. Why worry about digging rough? " There is nothing to answer about knowing beans in a meandering river.
The mountain god who caught the snake heard about it and was afraid that he would continue to dig, so he reported it to the Emperor of Heaven. Touched by his sincerity, the Emperor of Heaven ordered Kwa 'e's two sons to move two mountains. Since then, there have been no mountain obstacles to the south of Jizhou and Hanshui.

The old man ordered again: "put on your shoes!" " "Sean thought that since he picked up the shoes, he might as well put them on, so he knelt on the ground and put them on himself. The old man put out his foot and asked Sean to help him put it on. Then he left with a smile. Sean has been watching his whereabouts with surprised eyes. The old man walked down the corridor, then turned to Sean and said, "You are a child who can be trained to be a successful person. Meet me here at dawn in the morning five days later! " Sean knelt down and said, "Yes." At first light on the fifth day, Sean arrived at Xiapi Bridge. Unexpectedly, the old man was already waiting there.

The Dream of Butterfly
Zhuang Zhou, a philosopher in the Warring States period, advocated that right and wrong should be unified and things should be forgotten. There is a fable in Zhuangzi that illustrates this truth: Zhuang Zhou dreamed that he became a butterfly, dancing and enjoying himself. When I woke up, I was still Zhuang Zhou. So, I don't know whether Zhuang Zhou became a butterfly or a butterfly became Zhuang Zhou.
Later generations used the metaphor of "Zhuang Zhou Meng Die" to describe life as a dream, which is difficult to verify.
Tang Li Shangyin's famous piece "Jinse" says: "Why does my Jinse have fifty strings, each of which is like a flower, separated by youth? Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring. Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun. A moment that should last forever has come and gone before I know it. " This code is used in this poem.
