Five people in the Eastern Han Dynasty were called little prodigies, and two of them were used as text textbooks. Who are these two people?

The five prodigies in the Eastern Han Dynasty were Xiahou Rong, Zhou Buyi, Zhuge Ke, Kong Rong and Cao Chong. The two people written into the textbook are Cao Chong in the image of Cao Chong and Kong Rong in Kong Rong's Li Rang.

These children showed amazing talents at an early age, which shocked people at that time and of course made them admire them more. In the textbook, there are stories about Kong Rong and Cao Chong.

Xiahou Rong, one of the five prodigies, is the son of the famous Xia. Xiahou Rong's father is a lout who can only fight but can't type. However, such a rough son is very clever and is called a prodigy. According to records, Xiahou Rong was able to write articles at the age of seven. The key is that he writes well.

At that time, Cao Pi gave a banquet to entertain guests. There were more than 100 people present, and Xiao Xiahou Rong remembered it clearly and shocked the audience. It's a pity that he died in battle at the age of thirteen.

As the son of Cao Cao, Cao Chong is also his favorite son. Cao Cao loves this Cao Cao because Cao Chong is too clever. At that time, someone gave Cao Cao an elephant, and everyone was curious about how heavy the elephant was. They can't weigh it with various scales. Cao Chong Jr. said he had an idea.

So let everyone drive the elephant to the boat. As soon as the elephant got on the boat, it sank for a while. So Cao Chong carved a mark in this position. Then drive the elephant out and carry some stones to the boat until the water reaches this scale again. Then weigh all the stones and add them up, which is the weight of the elephant. This is the famous Cao Chongxiang.

Kong Rong, who is only four years old, knows that he will give pears to the elderly, which makes people around him cry. But when he grew up, Kong Rong became a corrupt official and a traitor.
