- Abstract
- Another famous precocious Chinese lad was Ts'ao Chung, the son of notorious General Ts'ao Ts'ao of the Three Kingdoms. 'Tis said that one day the lad's father received an elephant as a present. But the brightest Chinese lad in history is a little youngster, aged seven, bythe name of Hsiang To, who by a conversational encounter with the Sage Confucius showed great cleverness and intelligence. Confucius one day was riding in his chariot. He descended from his chariot, and approaching the boy, again asked him: "Little lad, you seem to be uncommonly clever for your years."
