when I accidentally saw this sentence, I felt infinite emotion in my heart. This is a couplet written by Cao Xuequan, an official of the Ming Dynasty, who criticized a scholar, but it has been passed down as a wise saying to this day. Under the coercion and inducement of the powerful, the scholar falsely accused him of saving his butcher from the vicious dog of the powerful family. Cao Xuequan, who was in charge of hearing the case, found out the truth and angrily wrote this popular couplet on the case file.

since childhood, we have been taught that "books have their own golden houses" and "everything is inferior, but reading is high". Therefore, each of us has received compulsory education since childhood, reading and literacy, and receiving instruction. I grew up step by step in the expectation of my parents and family, hoping to change the fate of myself and even the whole family with the knowledge I learned in the book.

But I don't know when it started. The teenager who hummed "beginning of life is good in nature" turned into a villain who forgets justice at the expense of profit and is euphemistically called "understanding the times".

In history, most notorious people were scholars, and all of them were extremely important officials. Such as Yan Song, Qin Gui, and He Shen, which one is not the best among scholars? But in the end, it ended up being spurned by the world, leaving a lasting stigma.

It can be seen that reading can make a person, but it can't completely shape a person. His conduct and virtue are all determined by his own cultivation.

reading can make sense, but it can't save a heart that is no longer pure and kind.

With regard to reading, Mr. Dongpo is open-minded: when you are literate, you can forget your name.
