Know that the house leaks and it rains all night, and know the loss of politics in the world. What is the origin of political commentator Wang Chong in the wild?

"Those who know the house leaks are under the house, and those who know the political loss are in the grass" comes from On Balance written by Wang Chong, a political commentator in the Han Dynasty, which means that those who know the house leaks are under the house and those who know the political loss are in the people. It reflects Wang Chong's profound experience of being at the grassroots level for a long time, and also embodies the people-oriented tradition formed at the turn of the Yin and Zhou Dynasties.

The book Lun Heng is said to have been written by Wang Chong (AD 27 -97), a thinker in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was written in the second year of Zhanghe (AD 88) and there are 85 existing articles (the only one of which is "incur" and there are 84 existing articles). Lun Heng expounds microscopic arguments, explains secular doubts and distinguishes right from wrong, that is, makes false statements based on "reality". The original meaning of the word "balance" is a kind of balance, and the theory of balance is the balance to evaluate the value of speech at that time. Its purpose is to "understand confusion and know the difference between reality and falsehood", and it is an immortal materialist philosophical document in ancient times.
