Enlightenment from Kuang Zhong's Letters
1. What does Kuang Zhong's letter writing inspire? During the reign of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, a big drum in the imperial court was broken, and the Ministry of Ritual planned to send someone to Huai 'an to rebuild it. The letter should clearly state the requirements for drum selection, and be concise and clear. Several officials have been invited to draft it, but none of them are satisfactory. ※. Later, when someone invited Kuang Zhong, Kuang Zhong thought about it a little and wrote eight words: "Lock the nails, rain or shine". After the letter was written, the room was filled with applause.

The first four words in the letter are "tight nails", which clearly state the methods and steps of drum selection. Skin should be tight and nails should be nailed tightly; The last four words vividly put forward the quality requirements of drum selection, and the drums played in sunny days and rainy days are the same. Drummers can grasp the essentials as soon as they understand it, and as long as they follow the norms, they can meet the expected requirements.

2. Let people know what the story is after reading Kuang Zhong. I don't say inspiration, just post some historical stories. See if there are any differences:

Kuang Zhong was very clever since he was a child. He was very interested in calligraphy. He used to practice hard, and he wrote well in block letters, official scripts and running scripts. Kuang Zhong could have studied hard and gained fame according to his parents' wishes. However, in the fourth year of Yongle (1406), Yu Yi, the new magistrate of Jing 'an County, changed Kuang Zhong's life track. Yu Yi needed a literate, capable and versatile scribe, and Kuang Zhong was chosen after a thousand choices. Kuang Zhong's parents didn't want to, but Yu Yi said to them, "Since ancient times, many people started as bookkeepers and became senior officials, not to mention Xiao He in the Han Dynasty and Sun and Zhang in the Tang Dynasty. The former becomes the recommended doctor, while the latter becomes the doctor of gold and purple. What's wrong with being a bookkeeper? " Kuang Zhong put down his reputation and became a bookkeeper with Yu Yi. Nine years later, at the time of the official department assessment, Yu Yi introduced Kuang Zhong to Lu Zhen, the minister of does at that time. At first glance, Kuang Zhong left a good impression on Lv Zhen. At that time, it happened that Chu Diguang, the founder, recruited talents, and Lu Zhen recommended Kuang Zhong in front of him. Judy specially summoned Kuang Zhong and thought he was a talented person. In September of the 13th year of Yongle (14 15), Kuang Zhong was appointed as the director of the ritual vessels department. Judy, the founder of Chengzu, has a great prejudice against bibliophiles, although she has a wide range of talents. He once said: "If a knife and pen official knows the benefits but not the righteousness, and knows the meanness but not the overall situation, it will make people despise the court." Kuang Zhong started from the teachers of the law and was directly appointed by the emperor as the official of Zhengliupin, which shows that Kuang Zhong was very appreciated by Chengzu.

3. I wrote an essay entitled "Digging the Corner to Steal Light", which inspired me to tell a story about "Digging the Corner to Steal Light", which everyone must know. This is a story about a poor boy named Kuang Heng in the Western Han Dynasty. He lost his father when he was very young and lived with his mother. He likes reading very much. In order to read more books, he went to rich families for nothing, so that he could read their precious books. Kuang Heng works during the day. In order to return the rich man's books in time, he had to take the time to read at night. But Kuang Heng's family is very poor. He has no money to buy candles, let alone lamp oil. Later, he found that his neighbor's candlelight shone faintly through a small hole in the wall. He had a brainwave, made a big hole and studied hard with the light coming in. Because Kuang Heng was diligent and studious, he finally became the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. This touching story tells us to study hard and be good at creating conditions to study even if there are no conditions.

After reading this story, I was deeply moved by Kuang Heng's hard-working learning spirit, but I also had many questions in my heart. In exchange for borrowing books, why not give some money to buy oil candles? Dig a big hole in the wall and use the lights of your neighbor's house to study. Why can't you make good friends in the neighborhood and study in the neighbor's house? This aroused my great curiosity and I decided to study the story carefully.

Kuang Heng was a native of the Western Han Dynasty, which was before the Eastern Han Dynasty and after the Qin Dynasty. One of the four great inventions in China, papermaking was invented by Cai Lun, and Cai Lun was a eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There should be no paper in the Western Han Dynasty, when there were only two kinds of books. One is to ask craftsmen to engrave characters on bamboo slips with the same length and then connect them with ropes, which is called "simplified books"; Another kind is written on silk, which is more precious. It is called "Silk Book". Books at that time seemed very precious. Books are either engraved or copied. There are few books of the same kind, most of which are orphans. If a bamboo slip falls off and a hole is broken in the silk book, the whole book will be destroyed. Moreover, there were not many books in the Western Han Dynasty, and Qin Shihuang had burned many books. Books were very precious at that time. Generally speaking, the owner of a book is very stingy and refuses to lend it to others. They are afraid of breaking the book, and even if they lend it to you, they will ask for it to be returned soon. It is not easy for Kuang Heng to get a chance to study for free, let alone spend some money on lamps and candles. After learning about this, I looked at the beautiful books on the table and suddenly felt so precious!

Why does Kuang Heng use this indigenous method to read books? The light coming through must be very weak, and in the long run it must be myopia. Why not make a fire in the field, or read according to your own stove? I think, besides Kuang Heng's fear of accidentally burning the books of rich people, there must be social reasons at that time. In the Western Han Dynasty, the rich were rich and the poor were poor. All the good things in the field belong to the landlords, and the poor have to go to the mountains to cut wood. Kuang Heng grew up without a father, lived with his mother and had to work during the day. In addition to boiling hot water, the firewood he cut must also be taken to the market to sell. Uncle Lei Feng made a living by collecting firewood when he was a child, and selling charcoal was also about the hardships of the poor. It shows that the poor at that time not only could not afford lamps, oil and candles, but also saved firewood. Compared with the corrupt society and the poor life at that time, I cherish the happy days now more.

Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall and borrowed some light to read. Now, I don't think this move seems appropriate. In Kuang Heng's time, neighbors lived in harmony, and everyone thought that "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors". It is normal to dig a hole to borrow light, so the story of "stealing light from the wall" has been handed down and become a beautiful story worth studying. But from the perspective of modern people, Kuang Heng may see something he shouldn't, because every family should have an independent, safe and free space. Sometimes I don't let my parents read my diary. Perhaps, people at that time were more simple! With the continuous civilization and progress of society, there are more and more secrets between people.

While studying the story of "stealing light from the wall" carefully, I also accidentally found an interesting language change. Now we often say "I'm sorry", originally from this story, but the meaning has changed greatly. "I'm sorry" is a kind word, which means asking someone to make way or asking something. For example, the road is crowded, "Excuse me, let me pass". The deeper meaning is to gain benefits by taking advantage of others' face, for example, someone borrowed his father's light to go abroad. This unexpected gain increased my interest in understanding the language of China.

The story of "stealing the light from the wall" inspired me to study harder than before, because through this "stealing the light from the wall" study, I will not only be more proficient in finding information and using the Internet to search, but also understand that everything is related to the society, environment, technology and civilization at that time. However, the most rewarding thing is to let me know that learning methods are more important than learning itself.

4. What stories did this article write? Kuang Heng, a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty and a native of Kuang Heng, was born in a peasant family and lived in poverty. He was eager to study since he was a child, but his parents couldn't afford his schooling or even books, so Kuang Heng had to borrow books from others.

One night, Kuang Heng wanted to read a book before going to bed, but because his family was so poor, he didn't even have lamp oil, so he couldn't read with a lamp. Just when Kuang Heng was worried, he suddenly found that the light came through the gap in the wall, which turned out to be the neighbor's lamp. Kuang Heng had a plan, so he dug a small crack into a small hole with a chisel, and then leaned against the wall with a book in his hand, reading by the faint light. From then on, Kuang Heng borrowed his neighbor's lamp every night and studied hard, finally becoming a famous scholar. 、

Revelation: It is said that a scholar in Hong Kong, after analyzing the story of digging a hole to borrow light with economic methods, thought that the cost of digging a hole was far greater than the benefit of borrowing light, and concluded that the story was pure fiction. What he said is not unreasonable: under the pre-modern conditions, the light of lighting tools, whether oil lamps or candles, is extremely weak, and it is doubtful whether the light can make people see books clearly after passing through houses and drilled holes. The cost of cutting the wall is extremely complicated. First of all, it takes time and energy to cut the wall. Secondly, it will bring externalities or infringement problems that may lead to disputes, specifically, it is related to the property rights of the wall being cut. If the wall belongs to a neighbor, it is a typical infringement and will be opposed by the neighbor. Many years ago, a neighbor wedged a wooden nail on the back wall of my old house to tie a cow. My grandfather almost moved that guy with others. The act of digging the wall almost triggered a fight for weapons (shovel and hoe). If you dig a wall owned by * * * or owned by yourself, there will be an external problem, because the privacy of neighbors will never be guaranteed. Even if neighbors don't fight back violently, they will take actions to protect their rights, such as blocking the hole with things. In this way, the expected profit of borrowing is gone. In a word, under the rational assumption, it is unreasonable to dig the wall to borrow light.

Has it ever happened that you dug a wall to borrow light? How did the story of poaching for the light come down? From the point of view of rational economic man, is it reasonable to dig the wall and borrow light? Schultz, a famous American economist and Nobel laureate in economics, once found that there is great rationality behind those seemingly backward and irrational behaviors. For example, farmers in backward areas are reluctant to plant high-yield imported crops, but insist on planting traditional low-yield crops, not because they are ignorant, but because traditional crops are more resistant to disasters, so this choice can reduce risks. Zhang Wuchang often said that when we think a certain social behavior is irrational, it is usually because we have not found hidden constraints. Considering these constraints, many irrational behaviors can be reasonably explained. A typical example is to dig a hole in the wall to borrow light.

If the income from poaching is limited to "light" materials, this behavior is really not worth the loss, but if the income is extended to intangible assets such as reputation and popularity, and the special value of this intangible asset is considered in a specific historical background, its rationality will be revealed. "Xijing Yao Ji" records the story of digging a wall to borrow light, and tells the story of Kuang Heng in the Western Han Dynasty. Who is Kuang Heng, a poor boy in the Western Han Dynasty? He is smart and studious, bent on making progress and trying to be promoted to the upper class of society. But how can a poor child realize his ideal? The imperial examination system has not been implemented in the Western Han Dynasty, and the selection of officials depends on "recommendation". In this case, it is obviously impossible to be the first and struggle on your own. To be an official, we must first attract the attention of celebrities who have the right to recommend and gain their appreciation. Kuang Heng is brilliant, well-read and elegant in speech. Coupled with the show of digging the wall to borrow light, it really won the favor of the great literati Xiaohe at that time. George W. Wang Zhi personally wrote a letter of recommendation and embarked on the road of official career. He has served as doctor Guanglu, prince Shaofu, Guangluxun and physician. In the third year of Zhao Jian (36 BC), he became prime minister, and in the fourth year (the first 29 years).

5. There is a story called "Overfullness" from the revelation of the argumentative essay "Han Feizi's Theory of Hiding". This is about Qi Xuanwang's love of listening to 300 people blowing straw together. Mr. Nan Guo asked to join the Straw Blowing Team, but Qi Xuanwang didn't evaluate it, so he happily approved it. Later, Qi Xuanwang died, and the King of Qi succeeded to the throne, leaving everyone alone to blow straw. Mr. Nan Guo, who can't blow straw, had to sneak away hungry. This story is not long, but it makes me understand that "Qi Xuanwang-style" cadres are unacceptable. Why? Because. We are now in the period of reform and opening up, and talents have become valuable wealth, and the selection of talents has become the key to mining. Success depends on whether our leading cadres have a "Bole" vision and whether they can distinguish between real talents and mediocre talents.

There is such a news that a unit wants to buy a set of advanced technology and equipment abroad and needs to send a group of people abroad to inspect and purchase. Who doesn't want to visit a foreign country? As a result, many people signed up and finally chose a writer to go abroad. But in fact, these people don't understand at all, and the equipment they bought doesn't match at all, and it has become a pile of scrap iron. Isn't it the responsibility of leading cadres to select such a group of "Nanguo"? Didn't they repeat the allusion of "filling a vacancy"?

Qi Xuanwang advocated "blowing together and eating the same pot". Blow more and blow less, blowing is the same as not blowing, blowing is good and blowing is bad. This is also the reason why Mr. Nanguo has been working in the team for many years. In today's reform and opening up, in today's "scientific competition, in the final analysis, talent competition", can we allow "Qi Xuanwang" to exist? May our leading cadres become experts and experts, and they can know real gold with their eyes. Break the "big pot" and let "Mr. Nanguo" show his true colors and have nowhere to hide.

If the country wants to revitalize and enterprises want to develop, leading cadres must never become contemporary "Qi Xuanwang".
