The ancients said that "learning to be rich with five cars", how many books does five cars mean?

When the ancients said that they were knowledgeable, they actually meant that a person was knowledgeable.

"Learning to be rich with five cars" first came from "Zhuangzi Tianxia", and the original text was "Hui Shishu is five cars, which is not true." These words are actually criticizing Hui Shi, which translates as "Hui Shi knows a lot of magic, and his works are enough to mediate the rise and fall of the five countries, but what he said is full of mistakes and confusion, and his words are also inappropriate." "

In this idiom, Hui Shi was a native of the Song Dynasty during the Warring States Period, a famous politician, theorist and philosopher, and the founder and main representative of famous thoughts. Hui Shi is the main organizer and supporter of the anti-Qin United front, and advocates that Wei Qichu unite against Qin. In ancient times, the "car" that learned a lot was compared to the country.

Now many people ask, how many books do five cars represent? At first, the problem was reduced to five carriages. In fact, the main tools for people to write at that time were bamboo slips and case slips. People split bamboo with a knife, slowly make bamboo slips, write on them with a brush, and then put them on with ropes. Such an article is likely to write dozens of bamboo slips. It is not a small bundle when it is rolled up. So, how many books are there?

As we all know, the first emperor in the history of China was Qin Shihuang. Although he is a tyrannical emperor, he is also a diligent emperor. In the days when Qin Shihuang was in charge, every memorial was carefully read and instructed by him. It is said that Qin Shihuang read 120 Jin of bamboo slips every day. According to the calculation of more than 30 words per bamboo slip, the daily reading instruction reaches nearly 300,000 words. Because Qin Shihuang was diligent and thoughtful, everything in the world depended on the world.

Later, it was represented by stones. Read a stone every day. This is a very important thing, because it has such a quality, so the quality and perseverance of Qin Shihuang against the six countries are also determined by them. If you use an ox cart to pull, one ox cart can pull up to five stones, and five carts are twenty-five stones. Converted into words, it is 7.5 million words. It can be seen that there are also many scholars. Now, it's just a dozen books.
