It turned out that this was Zhao Xing, the leader of Class One, who was often praised by the teacher. The stupid scholar suddenly lit up in front of him and secretly rejoiced: haha! When I master the rules of his class, I will be praised in the future!

The story of "Dong Shi is effective"

This story comes from Zhuangzi Tian Yun written by Zhuang Zhou in the Warring States Period. Xi Shi is a famous beauty, and she was born graceful, so even if she frowns with her heart, it looks beautiful and moving. The ugly woman was born ugly, but she wants to learn from the way Xi Shi frowns with her heart, and the result is bound to add ugliness to it. The story of Dong Shi's success is that ugly people don't know that they are ugly, and they insist on learning the appearance of a beautiful woman who is absolutely beautiful. The result is definitely that the more they learn, the uglier they get, which shows that no matter what they do, if they blindly imitate others, sometimes they will get the opposite effect. "Taiping Huanyu Ji", written by the music history of the Song Dynasty, records: "Zhuji County has Xi Shi Jia and Dong Shi Jia". In the Song Dynasty, talents such as Huang Tingjian did say that "the East is effective".
