Chapter 7 Cutting the wall and stealing the light

"The fourth question mainly assesses the 'solution' in the four 'memorization and use solutions' of the four courses of Chinese studies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," Jin Yufei said. "The so-called 'solution' is actually 'unique insight'. A person who is truly proficient in Chinese culture must have his own unique views on the anecdotes of China's classical culture...... So, for this question, let's test the idiom!"

"Idioms?haha! Interesting!" Hong Hezhang said with a smile. "Yufei, may I ask us to compare idioms, how to compare?"

As we all know, idioms are fixed phrases or short sentences formed after long-term use and tempering in the vocabulary of Chinese characters in China. Idioms are almost all inherited from ancient times, most of them come from ancient classics, historical stories and people's oral legends, rich in profound ideological connotations, incisive meanings, often implicit in the literal meaning......" Jin Yufei looked at Hong Hezhang and said: "However, even so, we can't just look at the surface, people follow the clouds, tend to be inflammatory, and rest on our laurels, but should have the innovative thinking and unique insights of modern people...... Therefore, in this question, we will each give each other an idiom to see who has more unique insights and innovative ideas on this idiom, then who is the winner!"

"Haha! Great idea!" Hong Hezhang smiled and clapped his hands in praise. "Then, please ask Yufei to answer the question!"

"My idiom is 'chisel the wall and steal the light'. Jin Yufei looked at Hong Hezhang and said with a smile: "Please Mr. Hong express his unique views on this idiom! It must be a new concept, and you can't plagiarize your predecessors!"

When Hong Hezhang heard the idiom "chiseling the wall and stealing the light", his head immediately thought of the charming logs, incense films, and passionate videos that he inadvertently peeked at Bai Xiangming's computer in the office before......

Hong Hezhang smiled in his heart and said: "Before expressing my new ideas and unique opinions, I will tell you the story of the idiom 'chiseling the wall and stealing the light'!"

"During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng, who was very diligent and studious. ”

When he was a child, Kuang Heng wanted to study, but because his family was too poor and had no money to go to school, Kuang Heng learned to read and write with a relative, and gradually developed the ability to read. ”

After a few years, Kuang Heng grew up to become the main labor force in the family. ”

Because his family was too poor, Kuang Heng had to work in the fields all day long, and only when he rested at noon, did he have time to read a little book, so it often took ten days and a half months to read a book. ”

Kuang Heng was very painful, very anxious, and very distressed about this wasted time. ”

Kuang Heng thought to himself: I plant crops during the day and have no time to read, so I can use some more evening time to read books!"

"However, Kuang Heng's family is very poor and can't afford to buy oil for lighting lamps, so as long as it's dark, he can't read!"

At that time, Kuang Heng's neighbor's family was very wealthy, and at night several houses were lit with candles to illuminate the houses. ”

"One day, Kuang Heng plucked up his courage and said to his neighbors: I want to study at night, but I can't afford to buy candles, can I borrow an inch of your house?"

"The neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their own, so they viciously sarcastic: since they are too poor to buy candles, what books do they read!"

Kuang Heng was very angry after hearing this, and he was even more determined to read the book well!

One night, Kuang Heng was lying on the bed carrying the book he had read during the day, and suddenly saw a ray of light shining through the east wall. ”

Kuang Heng stood up and walked to the wall to see that it was the neighbor's light coming through the crack in the wall. ”

So, Kuang Heng thought of a way......

"He quietly chiseled the crack in the wall a little wider, so that the light that came through became larger!"

In this way, Kuang Heng took advantage of the faint light that came in, and read the books in his house hungrily, and gradually finished reading all the books in his home. ”

After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that the knowledge he had mastered was far from enough. ”

"His desire to continue reading more books has become even more urgent!"

Kuang Heng couldn't afford to buy books, so he had to borrow books to read. ”

"At that time, books were very valuable, and those who had them would not lend them to others easily. ”

"Kuang Heng worked part-time for rich people during the busy farming season, not for wages, but only for people to lend him books. ”

When Kuang Heng knew that there was an illiterate family in the neighborhood and that there were many books in the house, Kuang Heng appeared in front of the big family with a bed. ”

Kuang Heng said to his master: Please take me in! I will not be paid for your work in your house. ”

"The master was very strange about this and asked: Why?"

"Kuang Heng said: As long as I can read all the books in your house, it's fine!"

After hearing this, the master was deeply moved by his spirit, and agreed to lend him a book to read!"

At that time, Kuang Heng was able to explain the "Book of Songs", and people wrote a ballad for him and said: No one will explain the "Book of Songs", please Kuang Ding come. Kuang Ding will teach the "Book of Songs", which can relieve people's doubts and sorrows. ”

"[Ding] is Kuang Heng's nickname. ”

People admired him very much, and those who listened to him explain the Book of Songs laughed and laughed. ”

At that time, a gentleman in the town was also explaining the Book of Songs, and Kuang Heng went to listen to it. ”

During this period, Kuang Heng and Mr. discussed the difficult issues of the "Book of Songs", and this person could not debate him, so he admired him very much, and hurriedly put on his shoes and fled in shame. ”

Kuang Heng caught up and said, "Sir, please stay, let's continue to discuss the question just now." ”

The gentleman was ashamed and said, "I can't say anything!"

Then ignore Kuang Heng and leave. ”

Kuang Heng studied hard and diligently in this way, and finally became a famous university scholar in the Western Han Dynasty and became the prime minister of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. ”

Hong Hezhang stood on the podium, facing the whole class, and talked eloquently: "In the traditional sense, or in everyone's normal concept, the idiom story of stealing the light from the wall mainly shows that borrowing books and reading hard, praises Kuang Heng's determination to overcome hardships and the spirit of diligent study, and sets a good example for us to study hard!"

"However, today, since Yufei has assessed me to express my new ideas and unique views on the idiom of 'chiseling the wall and stealing light', then I will talk about my own views from the perspective of a modern person!"

"First of all, Kuang Heng is a criminal. Cutting a wall is an illegal act of destroying other people's property!"

"And, extremely immoral!"

"Think about it, if a hole was cut in the wall of your house, would you feel comfortable? Won't you hold the vandals civilly liable?"

"Secondly, Kuang Heng is a robber. Stealing light without the permission of others is an illegal act of stealing!"

"Do you think you don't need money for 'light'? You can steal if you want? How can there be such a cheap thing?"

"Everyone should know that there were no electric lights at that time, but oil lamps were used, and whether it was electric lights or oil lamps, electricity and oil bills were always needed, right?"

"People spend money to buy oil lamps, but Kuang Heng didn't pay any price, why let him steal books and enjoy them?"

When everyone heard these remarks, they were all dumbfounded, and they threw themselves to the ground for the five bodies that Hong Hezhang admired!

Sure enough, if you are cheap, you are invincible!(To be continued.) )
