The idiom "Steal the light by digging the wall" comes from the bitter story of an ancient character? Ask god for help

This is the story of Kuang Heng's diligent study in the Western Han Dynasty.

The Kuang family has been farming for generations, but they are very diligent and eager to learn. Because his family is poor, he has to help others get reading materials. Kuang Heng lay in bed reciting the books he had read during the day. Behind me, I suddenly saw a light coming through the east wall. He stood up and went to the wall to have a look. Ah! It turned out that the neighbor's light came through the cracks in the wall.

So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he picked up a knife and dug several cracks in the wall. In this way, the light coming through is also very big, so he gathered the light coming through and began to read. When Kuang Heng was young, he chiseled through the wall to attract his neighbors to study by candlelight, which was widely praised by the world.
