Warring States Policy, Qin Ce V;
"Gan Luo said,' My husband was born seven years ago and became a teacher of Confucius. Now I was born twelve years ago! "How dare you try, Xi accused it with slander?" "Later, Xiang Tuo was called a precocious child. According to textual research, this statement was first seen in the Warring States Policy.

It's too subtle to pursue. The amount is too early. Give it back to the child.
Confucius was ashamed to be reasonable, but Yan Sheng really taught him. Pan ran is flowing, but there is no trace in the world.
Three-character classics:
Yesterday, Gu Shengxian, Shang diligent, Zhao, read Lu Lun, he was an official, diligent, wore pu weaving and cut bamboo slips, he had no books, and he knew how to encourage.
Once upon a time, Confucius was a very studious person. At that time, there was a prodigy named Lu, from whom Confucius had learned. Great sages like Confucius have never forgotten to study hard, let alone ordinary people like us. In the Western Han Dynasty, Lu Wenshu copied the words on Pucao to read. Gong Sun Hong carved the Spring and Autumn Period on the bamboo piece. Both of them are poor and can't afford books, but they don't forget to study hard.
Liezishang asked:
When Confucius traveled to the East, three children in An Appointment between Lu and Yu chatted with one of them, Xiang Tuo, a seven-year-old child, so a unique "battle of wits" triggered the news story that "Xiang Tuo is Confucius' teacher", and a series of books, such as Questions from Confucius and Confucius, were published one after another.
According to ancient records, Xiang Tuo, a charming man, is building a city wall with his friends. They piled up the dirt on the road and built a small square city. When Xiang Tuo sits in the car, he looks like a "city dweller", carefree. At this time, Confucius happened to pass by by by car, and the "city" built by Xiang Tuo blocked Confucius' way. Seeing this, Confucius asked Xiang Tuo, who was sitting in the city, "Son, why don't you avoid the car?" Xiang Tuo Jr. did not panic and calmly responded: "From the past to the present, I only heard that cars avoided cities. Where have I heard of city car avoidance? " Confucius was speechless and had to walk around the city.
After the car bypassed the "city", Confucius got off and walked to the "city". Seeing this unusual child sitting in the "city", he felt very cute, so he asked Xiang Tuo a series of questions. Confucius asked, "Do you know that there are no stones in rivers and mountains? What water has no fish? Who has nothing to do with this? Why are there no wheels? Why don't cows have calves? What horse has no pony? What knife has no ring? What fire is smokeless? Who has no wife? What woman has no husband? Which day is not enough? What day is today? Brother He has no children? What tree has no branches? Which city has no ambassador? Who has nothing to say? "
Xiang Tuo replied unhurriedly: "There are no stones in the earth and mountains, no fish in the well water, no doors in the empty door, no wheels in the car (sedan chair), no calves in the mud cow, no colt in the wooden horse, no rings in the knife, no smoke in the firefly, no wife in the fairy, no husband in the jade girl, insufficient winter, more than summer, lonely men and women, no branches in the dead tree, and no children in the empty city."
Confucius clapped his hands while listening and said, "Good! Good! " After Xiang Tuo answered, Confucius said, "There is a secret office in my car. How about playing with you? " But Xiang Tuo said, "I don't play opera. The master is knowledgeable and the wind and rain are endless; The princes are rich, and the state is dead; Officials have money, and the copy is late; Farmers are knowledgeable and farming is out of date; Students are knowledgeable and forget to read poems; Children are very knowledgeable and should answer questions. This is useless, why learn it! " A philosophical answer made Kong both embarrassed and admired.
Then, I asked Kong three questions. As a result, Kong didn't answer a word and made a big blush. Finally, he had to say "the afterlife is terrible" and strolled away.
