Said by: Sima Guang, an anonymous work by Song people: "A group of children are playing in the court, one goes to the urn, and their feet fall into the water, and everyone abandons them. If you hit the urn with a stone, the water will burst and the child will live. "

Sima Guang is playing with a group of children in the yard. A child stood on the vat, slipped and fell into the vat, and all the other children ran away. Only when Sima Guang broke the jar with a stone, the water flowed out and the children were able to live.

Extended data

The story of Sima Guang smashing a jar is a household name in China. As for the story that happened in Guangshan, Henan, I'm afraid not many people know it.

The Education Bureau of Guangshan County, Henan Province began to apply in 2008 to write the historical fact that Sima Guang was born in Guangshan into Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools. With the support of the relevant departments of the Ministry of Education and People's Education Publishing House, after two years of careful study by many experts, it finally passed the examination and approval of the National Primary and Secondary School Textbooks Examination and Approval Committee last year 10.

The newly published revised Chinese Textbook for Middle School Students in China, the second volume of the seventh grade, "Unit 3, Lesson 15 106", an article selected from Zi Jian, "Sun Quan Persuades Learning", was written by Sima Guang (101086). It was officially revised as "Sima Guang (10 19- 1086)", a native of Xia County, Shaanxi Province, and Guangshan, Gwangju (now Guangshan, Henan Province), a politician and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty.

According to Xu Changde, director of the Education Bureau of Guangshan County, this is the first time that the birthplace of historical celebrities has been written in Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools. Historical research shows that Guangshan is also the place where Sima Guang grew up as a child. From then on, this well-known historical allusion of China officially landed in Guangshan, Henan Province, and became the brightest billboard in Guangshan County, Henan Province.
