In ancient China, people like to distinguish young, Minhui, but few and mature children from ordinary children, and call them prodigies, and pay special attention to them. From ancient times to the present, the stories of child prodigies are endless, and the level of child prodigies in the history of China is endless.
Let's take a look at the representatives of ten prodigies in the history of China. Ganluo is Prime Minister Ganluo, 12 years old (date of birth and death is unknown). He was born in Cai Xia (now Yingshang, Anhui) during the Warring States Period. He was brilliant since he was a child and was a famous young politician.
Gan Luo was elected as the youngest politician in the history of China, world record association and China. His grandfather, Gan Mao, was a famous figure in Qin State, and once served as the left prime minister of Qin State.
Under the guidance of grandpa, Ganluo was smart and eloquent from an early age and was deeply loved by his family. Later, Gan Mao was rejected by others, forced to flee from the State of Qin, and soon died in the State of Wei.
When Gan Luo was twelve years old, he defected to the door of Lv Buwei, the prime minister of Qin State, and became his talented guest. At that time, the State of Qin tried to attack Zhao with the State of Yan, and planned to send Minister Zhang Tang to the State of Yan, but Zhang Tang refused.
There's nothing Lv Buwei can do. Gan Luo, who was only twelve years old at that time, knew all about state affairs. Ganluo volunteered to persuade Zhang Tang to go to his post. Lv Buwei didn't believe him at first. Gan Luo said confidently, "Xiang Tuo became Confucius' teacher when he was seven years old. Now I 12 years old. Can't you let me have a try? " Lv Buwei had to agree to his request.
Gan Luo drove to Zhang Tang and said, "In those days, Wu disobeyed Hou's orders to attack Zhao, was driven out of Xianyang and died. Now Wen Xinhou's power is much greater than that of Ying Hou. If you disobey his orders, it seems that your death is not far away! " Hearing this, Zhang Tang was so scared that he promised to go to see Yan.
With the consent of the government, Gan Luo went to Zhao to lobby according to the intention of Qin State to expand Hejian County. In view of Zhao Wang's psychological state that Qin Yan's alliance is unfavorable to Zhao, he went to great lengths to say: "Qin Yan's alliance is nothing more than trying to occupy the land between Zhao and the river." If you cede the five cities of Hejian to the State of Qin, I can go back and persuade the King of Qin to cancel the mission of Zhang Tang and sever the alliance with the State of Yan. When the time comes, when you attack Yan, Qin will never interfere, and Zhao will have as many as five cities! " Zhao Wang was overjoyed and gave Ganluo the map and household registration of Hejian 5 cities.
Ganluo returned with a full load, and Qin won the land of Hejian without a single soldier. The King of Qin named Ganluo, who was 0/2 years old, as Shangqing, and gave him the land that was named Gan Mao in that year. Because the rank of prime minister was similar to that of Shangqing at that time, people inferred that Ganluo was the prime minister of 12 years old.
This shows that Gan Luo's intelligence is not only unmatched by his peers, but also by ordinary adults. He's a prodigy! Cao Chong's amazing wisdom is undoubtedly the most famous child prodigy in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Chong. Cao Chong, son of Cao Cao.
Cao Chong has shown amazing talent since he was a child, and his understanding ability is very strong. By the age of five or six, he had reached the adult level, leaving an allusion to Cao Chong's image. The Biography of Shu Wei Wargo and Chong Wang also recorded one thing, saying that Cao Cao's army conquered the world and the criminal law was very strict, which led to frequent unjust cases. Once, a saddle in the warehouse was bitten by a mouse, which happened to be Cao Cao's.
The soldiers in the warehouse management were frightened and thought that they must be doomed and dead. When Cao Chong found out, he cut a small hole in his clothes with a knife and pretended to be bitten by a mouse, with a sad face.
Cao Cao saw it and asked him what was wrong. He replied, "Everyone says that clothes are bitten by rats, and the owner of the clothes will suffer misfortune."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "That's all nonsense. There will be no happiness or misfortune at all. " Later, the soldier in charge of the warehouse truthfully reported the mouse biting the saddle. Cao Cao understood Cao Chong's intention and smiled, so he didn't pursue the matter again.
Compared with the talented Cao Zhi and the manipulative Cao Pi, Cao Chong's wisdom can be said to be amazing. In fact, Cao Chong not only has this kind of "intelligence", but also "discerns benevolence and righteousness, is born with beautiful appearance and is different from others, so he is particularly favored."
He often uses his wisdom and position to do something important to save lives. According to historical records: "When the war is in turmoil, the punishment is heavy.
Dozens of people should be guilty, defended by Chongwei and helped by Chongwei. "
Cao Chong is undoubtedly a genius, probably because of this, he was loved by Cao Cao and was chosen as his successor at a very young age. Unfortunately, he only lived until he was thirteen and died of acute illness.
Yuanjia Fairy Boy There was a boy named Yuanjia in the Northern Dynasties. Because he could do many things at the same time, he was called a fairy boy. Yuan Jia once performed such a performance: holding a pen in both hands, drawing the circle on the left on the right, reciting the article word by word in his mouth, and at the same time accurately counting the number of sheep grazing.
His mind is not idle. He is thinking of a five-character poem, which is written neatly on the paper on the ground with a pen between his feet. He did these six different things at the same time, and everything was done very well, which surprised all the witnesses.
Sima Guang broke the urn to save his friend Sima Guang, whose real name is Shi Jun, who was born in Xia County, Shaanxi Province. When Sima Guang was born, his father Sima Chi was the magistrate of Guangshan County in Gwangju, so he was named "Guang". At the age of seven, he was "as noble as an adult, and he could achieve his great purpose by smelling Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals". From then on, "books can't be put down, I don't know hunger."
The children's story of "Sima Guang smashing jars" was widely circulated in Tokyo and Luoyang at that time. The story of Sima Guang's smashing cans is: once, he was playing with his friends in the backyard.
There is a big water tank in the yard. A child climbed to the edge of the tank and accidentally fell into the tank factory. The water tank is very deep, and it seems that the child is going to have no roof.
When other children saw that something was wrong, they cried and cried in fear and ran outside to ask adults for help. Sima Guang, however, used his quick wits to pick up a big stone from the ground and hit it hard at the water tank. "bang!" The water tank was broken, the water in the tank came out, and the child who was submerged in the water was saved.
Xiao Sima Guang was calm, witty and brave when he was in trouble, and was passed down as an eternal story. Li Er, whose real name is Bai Yang, also known as Lao Dan, is one of the greatest philosophers in ancient China, and is also one of the homesickness for Lao Zi's standard image.
2. Ancient prodigy stories, Shang, Wang Anshi, Jin Ximin/,Shi/in Song Dynasty.
Zhong Yong/Born five years ago, I never knew/wrote, and suddenly cried/wanted. The father, on the other hand, borrows the side, that is,/writes poems, and/names himself.
His poems/with the meaning of adoptive parents and family members/are circulated/read by a rural scholar. Nature/refers to things like poetry/standing, and its arts and sciences/considerable.
Yi people/wonder, ignore their father, or/beg with money. Father/benefit is also natural, while the Japanese class Zhong Yong/Huan Yi/Yu Yi people, not learning.
I've been listening for a long time. In Ming Dow, when our ancestors returned to China, they all met at my uncle's house when they were twelve or thirteen years old.
Write a poem that you couldn't hear/speak/hear before. Seven years later, I went back to Yangzhou, asked my uncle's house and said, "I am silent/everyone."
The prince said:/Zhi/Tong Wu, they are all favored by heaven. Its/by heaven, virtue is/things are far away.
If you are everyone's pawn, then if you are subject to others, you won't. He/she is blessed by heaven, so he/she is virtuous, not loved by all, but owned by all; Today/husband is not subject to/day, solid people, and/not subject to people, is it/people/talent? Fang Zhongyong is a civilian in Jinxi County, who has been farming for generations.
When Zhong Yong was five years old, he never knew pen, ink, paper and inkstone. (One day) he burst into tears and asked for these things. My father was surprised by this, so he borrowed it from his neighbor's house. (Zhong Yong) immediately wrote four poems and inscribed his name.
This poem is about supporting parents and uniting people of the same clan, and it is spread to the whole township (scholar) to watch. From then on, he was assigned to write a poem, and (he can) write it immediately. The literary grace and truth of the poem are worth seeing.
People in the same county were stunned by him and gradually regarded his father as a guest. Some people even paid Zhong Yong to write poems. His father thinks it's profitable, so he drags Zhong Yong to visit people in the same county every day and doesn't let him study.
I've heard a long time ago. In the era of Ming Dow, I followed my late father back to my hometown and met Fang Zhongyong at my uncle's house. He is twelve or thirteen years old.
Let him write poetry, which is out of proportion to what he heard before. Seven years later, I came back from Yangzhou and went to my uncle's house to ask about Fang Zhongyong. My uncle said, "He can disappear completely, just like ordinary people."
Mr. Wang said: our knowledge and understanding ability are innate. His talent is far higher than that of ordinary talented people.
Because he didn't get the education the day after tomorrow, he finally became an ordinary person. A naturally intelligent person like him will become an ordinary person if he has no acquired education. Then, can those who are not born smart but ordinary people who don't receive the education after tomorrow become ordinary people? First, be good at independent thinking. Most child prodigies are good at independent thinking, not blindly following, and can put forward some original opinions.
According to the children's story, when prodigy Zhu Yue was 8 years old, he watched the teacher He Cheng draw a picture of Tao's mother's haircut, which showed that Tao's mother was from a poor family and cut her hair for wine. Zhu Yue found that Tao's mother was wearing a golden shovel, so she pointed to the golden shovel and asked her teacher, "This can be exchanged for wine, so why do you want to have a haircut?" Teacher He Cheng was greatly surprised. When Dai Dongyuan, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, was 65,438+00 years old, his teacher said to him: "The chapters and sentences in" Da Xue "were written by the sage Confucius; And Ceng Zi's remarks were recorded by students in Ceng Zi. "
After hearing this, Dai Dongyuan asked, "How do you know that this is Confucius' speech described by Ceng Zi, and that is Ceng Zi's speech described by Ceng Zi students? The teacher replied, "This is what Zhu said in his notes." Dai Dongyuan asked inexplicably, "When did Zhu come from?" The teacher said, "People in the Southern Song Dynasty. "
Dai Dongyuan asked again, "When were Confucius and Ceng Zi?" The teacher said, "People lived in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." Dai Dongyuan asked again, "How long did it take from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty?" The teacher said, "About two thousand years."
Dai Dongyuan was even more puzzled: "Since it is more than two thousand years apart, how can Zhu Xi know about Confucius and Ceng Zi?" The teacher was speechless when asked. A child prodigy is not only good at independent thinking, but also can solve problems creatively on this basis.
According to "On the Children's World", "Sima Guang plays with children, one child enters the water urn, and the child leaves the police, and the public takes the stone to break its urn, which is the end." "Wen Yanbo.
Xiao and the group workers hit the ball, and the ball rolled into the column hole, watered by public water, and floated out. "It was the best way to solve the problem at that time, but it was also an unconventional way to hit the urn with stones and fill the hole with water. Other children either left the police or had nothing to do, but Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo were able to find a special way to solve the problem flexibly and independently, which was the intellectual difference between them and ordinary children.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Gan Luo, a prodigy of Qin State, became the Scheeren of Lv Buwei, the prime minister of Qin State at the age of twelve. At that time, Qin Shihuang wanted to send Zhang Tang, the minister, to attack Zhao with Yan, so as to open up the land of Hejian.
Zhang Tang said to him, "When I conquered Zhao for the king of Qin, Zhao hated me very much. He once said, "Whoever catches Zhang Tang will be given a hundred pieces of land. I'm going to Yan today, so I can't go. "
Lv Buwei was unhappy, but he didn't force him. Gan Luo asked Lv Buwei, "Why is Hou Jun so unhappy?"
He said, "I have worked for Yan for three years. Yan took Prince Zidan as hostage and entered the State of Qin. I personally invited Zhang Tang to Yan to take a photo, but he refused to go. " Ganluo said, "I'll invite him."
Lv Buwei scolded him and said, "Go! I wouldn't even invite him myself. How can you do that? " Gan Luo said, "Xiang Tuo became a teacher of Confucius at the age of seven, and I am twelve now. You can let me try. Why do you want to scold me? " So Ganluo went to see Zhang Tang and asked Zhang Tang, "Can your contribution be compared with that of Wu Anjun?" Zhang Tang replied, "Wu Anjun defeated the powerful Chu State in the south, Yan State and Zhao State in the north, and defeated them. I don't know how many cities have been broken and captured. I am not as good as him. " Gan Luo said: "Who has more power, Qin Guo, Yan Hou or Wen Xinhou (Lv Buwei)?" Zhang Tang replied: "It's better to wait than to be Wen Xin Hou."
Gan Luo said, "The Duke of Yan tried to attack Zhao, but he was blocked, so he left Xianyang No.7 Road and died in Du You. Today, Wen Xinhou personally invited you to take photos in Yan State, but you refused to go. I don't know where you will die. "
Zhang Tang promised to go to Yan. A few days after Zhang Tang left, Gan Luo said to Wen Xinwei, "Please lend me five cars to report to Zhao for Zhang Tang."
Lv Buwei, Emperor Wen Xin, went to see Qin Shihuang and said, "Ganluo, the grandson of Gan Mao, was young, but the descendants of famous scholars all heard that he had the talent to be a vassal. Today, Zhang Tang said that he didn't want to go to Yan State because Ganluo persuaded him to go.
3. What are the classical Chinese descriptions of "prodigies"? Fang Zhongyong, a native of Jinxi, was born in Shiligeng.
Zhong Yongsheng lived for five years and didn't understand books and tools. Suddenly he cried for it. The father, on the other hand, borrowed from the side and approached it, that is, four sentences of books and poems, which were named after themselves.
His poems were written for adoptive parents and families and passed down to a scholar in a township. Nature refers to things as poetry, and its arts and sciences are considerable.
People in the city are very surprised. They are a little nicer to their father or beg with coins. My father's interest is natural, and he will always pay tribute to the city people and let him be ignorant.
I've been listening for a long time. In Ming Dow, it has been twelve or thirteen years since our ancestors went home and saw them at my uncle's house.
To write a poem, you can't call it the smell of the past. Seven years later, I went back to my uncle's house from Yangzhou and asked him, "Everyone has left."
The prince said: Zhong Yong's understanding is also an act of God. It is also blessed, far more virtuous than talents.
If a chess piece is owned by everyone, it will not be influenced by others. He is a man who receives heaven, so he is a saint, and he who does not receive heaven is for all; Today's husband is not subject to heaven, and he is not subject to heaven, only for everyone. Fang Zhongyong is a civilian in Jinxi County, who has been farming for generations.
When Zhong Yong was five years old, he didn't know the writing tools (paper, ink, pen, inkstone, etc.). ), and (one day) he suddenly cried for these things. Father was surprised by this and borrowed writing tools from his neighbors. Zhong Yong immediately wrote four poems and wrote his own name.
This poetry is to support parents, to have a good relationship with people of the same clan, and to spread it to the whole town for appreciation. From then on, the designated object (let him) write a poem, and (he can) finish it immediately, so that the literary talent and truth of (the poem) will be better.
People in the same county were surprised. Gradually, people in the same county treated his father as a guest, and (some people) paid Fang Zhongyong to write poems. His father thought it was profitable. Every day, he dragged Zhong Yong to visit people in the same county and wouldn't let him study.
I've heard a long time ago. In the era of Ming Dow, my late father and I returned to my hometown and met Fang Zhongyong at my uncle's house. (He) is twelve or thirteen years old.
Let (him) write poems, (his poems) can't compare with his previous reputation. Seven years later, I came back from Yangzhou and went to my uncle's house to ask about Fang Zhongyong. (Uncle) replied: "His talent has completely disappeared, just like ordinary people."
Wang Anshi said: Zhong Yong's intelligence is innate. His innate talent far exceeds that of ordinary talented people.
He finally became an ordinary person because the education he received failed to meet the requirements. A person who is born smart and so smart like him still wants to be an ordinary person without acquired education. Now those who are born not smart are ordinary people. Can they become ordinary people without the education of the next day? About the author: Wang Anshi (102 1 year1February 81August 8-1May 2, 0861day), whose real name is Fu Jie, No.
The world also calls the king. Han nationality, a native of Linchuan, Fuzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty (now a native of Dengjiaxiang, Linchuan District, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province), was a famous politician, thinker, writer and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty in China, and one of the eight masters in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Ouyang Xiu praised Wang Anshi: "There are 3,000 romantic poems in Hanlin and 200 articles in the official department. The old self-pity is still there, so who will argue with his son? "
Collected works handed down from ancient times include Wang Linchuan Collection and Linchuan Collection. His poems are very good in all aspects. Although there are not many words, he is also good at them, including "Cinnamomum cassia" and other famous works.
Wang's most popular poem is "Green is here, when will the bright moon shine on me?" .

His father felt it and let him watch. Worship before drinking, and drink if you don't worship.
Then he asked Yu why he worshipped. Yu said, "Wine is a gift, and I dare not worship. When he asked why he didn't worship, he would say, "It's immoral to steal this, so I won't worship.

6. Ancient witty children's classical Chinese Wang Rong
Wang Rong is seven years old. He tries to swim with the children. When he saw many branches on the plum tree by the roadside, the children scrambled to pick them, but Rong did not move. When people asked him, they replied, "If a tree is on the roadside with many branches, it will be bitter." Accept it and believe it. -This story about bitter plum on the roadside was first recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu. This little story is full of philosophy.
Kong Rong
Kong Rong was ten years old and went to Los Angeles with his father. Li Yuanli has a good reputation. Those who come to you are either talented, famous or relatives at the middle table. Only when the cabinet members were willing to communicate, Kong Rong went to the Li family alone and said to the doorman, "I am a relative of the Li family." After the doorman communicated for him, Li Yuanli asked, "What is your relationship with your servant?" Kong Rong said to Japan: "The ancestor Zhong Ni (Confucius) and the ancestor Bo Yang (Laozi) have the friendship of asking about politics, and it is not bad to take your servant as your friend." This sentence comes from the mouth of a child aged 10, which surprised Li Yuanli and the guests present. Sometimes Dr. Chen Ying, a Chinese medicine doctor, arrived later and heard about it. He said, "It's an hour, but it's not necessarily good." -.
Here, a post-breaking technique is used, which means that Chen Yi is now "too big to do". Chen Yi was greatly embarrassed by this counterattack and was temporarily speechless. It's amazing that a child of 10 is tongue-tied by celebrities, but Kong Rong is quick-thinking.

" Zhao was speechless and had to stop drinking. Love it all, so he ordered the prince to assist him.
7. The article of Sima Guang, an ancient prodigy, was as sensible as an adult at the age of seven. He listened to the teacher's explanation of Spring and Autumn Annals and enjoyed it very much. After school, he told his family what he had learned, so he also understood the connotation of Chunqiu. He never left the book, even forgot hunger, thirst, cold and heat, and devoted himself to it.
Once, he and his friends were playing in the backyard. There is a big water tank in the yard. A child climbed to the edge of the tank and accidentally fell into the tank factory.
