7. Chiseling the wall to steal the light

Kuang Heng, courtesy name Zhigui, was born in Donghai (the name of Hanjun, today's Pi, Jiangsu Province) in the Western Han Dynasty. From the east of the county to the sea, and even from the east of Ziyang County in Shandong Province to the sea area) people. He comes from a farming family, and his grandfather and father have been farmers for generations. He was born in Kuangheng, but he likes to read. When he was young, his family was poor. He worked as a hired worker during the day to make ends meet and had time to study at night. But the family was so poor that they couldn't even light a candle. The neighbor's lamp is bright, but it can't shine. Kuang Heng came up with a way to cut a hole in the wall next to the neighbor's house to steal some light and let the neighbor's light shine through. He held the book and read in front of the cave against the light.

Kuang Heng’s family was too poor to afford books. There was a rich man in my hometown who had a rich collection of books in his home. Kuang Heng went to his house to work, but he didn't receive any wages. The rich man felt very strange and asked Kuang Heng why. Kuang Heng said: "I don't want wages. I just hope you can lend me all the books at home to read. I will be very satisfied." After hearing this, the rich man was deeply moved by his diligent and studious spirit, and agreed to his request. From then on, Kuang Heng had an excellent opportunity to study. History books say that Kuang Heng was energetic and surpassed ordinary people. The wealthy family's rich collection of books, coupled with Kuang Heng's own diligent efforts, finally turned him into a knowledgeable scholar. There was even a saying among scholars at that time: "No one could explain "The Book of Songs", Kuang Ding came; Kuang Heng explained it to everyone" (No one could explain "The Book of Songs", Kuang Heng happened to come; Kuang Heng explained it to everyone) After understanding the meaning of the Book of Songs, everyone laughed happily). ?It can be seen that his reputation is very high.

During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng was recommended by the court and appointed as a doctor, and then promoted to doctor and assigned to Shizhong. At this time, a solar eclipse and an earthquake occurred successively. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was frightened, fearing that it was a warning sign of disaster from heaven, so he consulted his ministers about political gains and losses. Kuang Heng submitted a memorial and listed historical facts to show that the celestial phenomenon is just a natural change of yin and yang, and that misfortunes and blessings all depend on human actions, the atmosphere of human society, and more importantly, the enlightenment, advocacy and influence of the imperial court. Therefore, the emperor should reduce the expenses of the palace, be close to loyal ministers and honest men, alienate sycophants and villains, select virtuous ministers, open channels to accept loyal advice, etc. Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty appreciated Kuang Heng's knowledge very much and promoted him to the rank of Guanglu Doctor and Prince Shaofu.

Emperor Pang of Han Yuan loved Fu Zhaoyi and her son King Dingtao more than the queen and prince. Kuang Heng put forward sincere advice on this, and thoroughly analyzed the principle of "justifying the family and ordering the world", so as to avoid causing disaster to the country. Kuang Heng participated in major political affairs in the court, quoted scriptures, and clarified legal principles and morals. He was highly praised. He was promoted to Guang Luxun and Yushi doctor. Later, he was promoted to prime minister and was granted the title of Marquis of Le'an.

During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, the eunuch Zhongshu ordered Shi Xian to monopolize power, exclude and frame the virtuous. Kuang Heng was also afraid of him and did not dare to criticize him. After the death of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne. Kuang Heng and the imperial censor Zhen Tan jointly impeached Shi Xian and exposed the various crimes committed by him and his party members. Shi Xian and his minions were both punished as they deserved. However, some people in the DPRK ministers believed that Kuang Heng, as an auxiliary minister, did not participate in the expose in time in his early years, but instead followed the rules and failed to fulfill his responsibilities, so they impeached him. Kuang Heng also felt ashamed and repeatedly asked to resign. Later, he was finally dismissed from office for occupying too much fiefdom.

Based on Kuang Heng's story, later generations summed up an idiom "cutting through walls to steal light" to describe diligence and studiousness.
