Confucius said, "Judging people by their appearance, they will lose their sons." It's about his student Ziyu, who is obscene, short, and has a green face and fangs, and Confucius sees him as extremely ugly and doesn't look down on him. Later, this person went to Zhao State to be a petty official. Once the king of Zhao sent him to envoy to various countries**, and earned a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. He was then told to protect a shipload of jewels and return home. The boat was full of bandits, and when the boat reached the stormy waves of the Yellow River, dozens of bandits in the boat were ready to hijack the jewels, and they started to kill him and hijack the boat and escape. Zi Yu observed the words, before the bandits made a move, with a single strength, the sword attacked, killed all the bandits on the ship, and then escorted the jewels back to Zhao, appreciated by the king of Zhao, and was promoted to the doctor of Zhao, the official position is equal to a prime minister. Therefore, Confucius said, judging people by their appearance, they will lose their sons. It is to tell people that looking at people from their appearance is biased, and they are looking away, and the ugliest student Ziyu later achieved the most outstanding achievements among the many **. 
From ancient times to the present, heroes are judged by success or failure, and those who are in charge often choose people who are dignified, burly, and majestic. Short, ugly people have very few chances of being hired. In 1958, Jiangsu Province was in the first place"We must repair the Huai River well Under the guidance of the guideline, the three river locks have been built in the southeast of Hongze Lake, the two river locks have been built in the northeast, and a 32-hole Huaiyin lock has been built in Yangzhuang, where the three rivers and the Grand Canal meet. A magnificent Huaiyin Gate was finally completed in 1958-1960. Standing on the north bank of the Grand Canal and the entrance of the Huaishu River with two trouser forks, it has built a multi-purpose structure of sluice with water diversion control, north-south shipping, highway and bridge connectivity, and has regulated the drought and flood and ship shipping in Huaiyin, Shuyang and northern Jiangsu, and has become a beautiful and spectacular water building landscape in northern Jiangsu. It has brought huge benefits and guarantees to the agricultural development of northern Jiangsu, flood control, drainage and irrigation. After the completion of the Huaiyin Gate, the top began to write the three big characters of the Huaiming Gate carved at the top of the gate, symbolizing the majesty and grandeur of the gate, the standard square of these three words should be about two or three meters, extra-large, and the difficulty of writing these three big characters is also very great. **Select many calligraphers to write these three big characters, and as a result, dozens of calligraphers have a writing competition, like a competitive exam. Many experts are one meter tall, the size of a giant pen on their backs like a broom, and they usually write words that are one meter in size, but they are naturally afraid of being incompetent when they want to write more than two meters of big characters, and they are all defeated! In the end, he was won by a surprisingly short man, Wang Xianchang. Wang Xianchang, one meter four two tall, a native of Yugou Town, Huaiyin, was a scholar in the previous generation, and was very famous in Yugou Street. There is a short man who is less than 1.5 meters tall for generations, but there are also brothers of upper middle and upper middle height. But he was the shortest man of his generation. He is short in stature, but has a high IQ. For generations, the family has inherited genes from reading shows. Wang Xianchang due to his solid family background, ** was also a teacher teacher graduate in that era, and was assigned to teach in Yugou Primary School after liberation, with profound calligraphy skills. In the past, he wrote big slogans, advertisements and other big characters he was the main candidate, and people in trouble all came to him to write, in Yugou is a well-known big-character expert, and most people don't know his real name is Wang Xianchang, and they all call him Mr. Wang. But mentioning Wang Xiaozi's fame is really amazing. 
When he appeared at the scene of the Huaiyin Gate with a big paintbrush on his back, people thought that he was a twelve or thirteen-year-old playboy who came to join in the fun for his parents. When the horizontal drill was carried out, I couldn't help but surprise everyone in the calligraphy again. He swept the elites present with a broom-like brush, simplifying the three big characters of the Huaiyin Gate in one stroke, the size of the word spacing was reasonable and balanced, and each word was more than twice as large as his own body. It was immediately selected by the judges of the three big characters of the Huaiyin Gate in the national calligraphy competition. Then he personally climbed to the top of the gate, with his own pen to write down the three big characters of Huaiyin Gate, and then handed over to the carving craftsmen to carve into words, just like the ancients Wang Yizhi wrote on the Great Wall "Yanmen Guan" three characters like the world! After the big characters of Huaiyin Gate were written, it attracted a lot of people at home and abroad, in addition to watching the spectacular Huaiyin Gate, but also appreciating the three big characters of Huaiyin Gate that have been famous for thousands of years. It is said that there was a Japanese calligrapher who visited the Huaiyin Gate, and then looked at these three big characters, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration and said, these three characters are indeed well written, but I can conclude that this writer is a short man, and we don't know how this person decides? Mr. Wang Xianchang is a well-known short man in Yugou Town, almost everyone in our generation knows him, his calligraphy is to reach the peak of the local people of that era, so that all literate people are impressed, he wrote the Huaiyin Gate three big characters in Yangzhuang North Jiangsu Water Conservancy Traffic Huaiyin Gate dazzling will be famous through the ages! People can not be good-looking, the sea water can not fight, from this term more highlights the surprise of Wang Xianchang's dwarves, which is incomparable to many people, and our Yugou people are proud of this amazing dwarf!
