Liang Qichao was brilliant and quick-thinking in his childhood, and his grandfather Liang Yan liked him very much. Liang Qichao began to read four books and five classics at the age of five. At the age of eight, he learned to write thousands of words, and at the age of nine, he won the top prize in the examination at the age of 12, and was called "prodigy" by the villagers. There are many stories of Liang Qichao, a "prodigy", circulating among local people.

"Someone is on the flat ground, watching me climb the ladder."

One day, Liang Qichao climbed the bamboo ladder to play. Grandfather was afraid that he was in danger, so he looked at Liang Qichao and shouted, "Come down, come down! It will kill you ... "Liang Qichao saw that his grandfather was so anxious that he climbed another level and blurted out two sentences:" There is someone on the flat ground, watching me climb the ladder. " Grandpa couldn't help laughing happily and felt that his good grandson was extraordinary.

"Hang a mirror in front of the hall, and your eyes are sharp."

Liang Qichao entered the city with his father when he was ten years old, and spent the night in the Li family. There is an apricot garden opposite the main hall of Li Zheng. Liang Qichao got up the next morning and went to the apricot garden to play. When he saw the blossoming apricot flowers, he picked a few. Suddenly heard footsteps from far and near, it was my father and Li Xiu. Liang Qichao hurriedly hid the apricot flowers in his sleeve, but his father still saw them. The father was embarrassed to blame his son in front of his friends, so he punished him with couplets. Father recites couplets: "There are flowers in the sleeve, and the youth hides spring scenery." Liang Qichao looked up thoughtfully and caught a glimpse of the "blocking mirror" hanging on the eaves of the opposite hall, that is, he read the next couplet: "Adults can see through the mirror before it hangs in the hall." Li was shocked and clapped his hands. "Why don't you ask the old lady to test my nephew? How about' pushing a cart out of a foreign land'?" Liang Qichao immediately asked face to face: "Ride into Chang 'an." "Good, good!" Praise Li again and again. In a happy atmosphere, my father forgave Liang Qichao's fault.

"Drink tea and water, write a dog and rake the field."

One day, a guest came to Liang Qichao's house and was talking with his father in the hall. Liang Qichao came in from the outside, sweating profusely, and mentioned from the coffee table that the teapot was about to drink a big bowl of cold water, but it was stopped by the guests. "Qi Chao, come here." The guest said, "I know you know many words. I'll test you. " The guest saw a big piece of paper on the coffee table, raised his pen and scribbled the word "dragon": "Read it to me." Liang Qichao took one look and shook his head. The guests burst out laughing. Liang Qichao ignored him and drank the bowl of cold boiled water on the tea table in one breath. The guest smiled and said, "Drink tea and water." Liang Qichao wiped his mouth with his right shirt sleeve and said, "The writing dog rakes the field." Liang Qichao's sarcasm embarrassed his father and he was about to punish him. The guest said, "let your son answer honestly. His brain is turning fast. It's amazing."

"If you want to ask the sky, the sky is silent."

There is a hill called Nizi Mountain in Chakeng Village, Xinhui, Liang Qichao's hometown. There is a tower on the hill called Nizi Tower, also called Lingyun Tower. Liang Qichao's hometown is at the foot of Nizi Tower. Liang Qichao often took his children to the Lingyun Building to see the scenery when he was a child. One day, Liang Qichao wrote a poem to show his grandfather. The poem goes like this: "Climb the Lingyun Tower in the morning, attract four pillars, climb the Lingyun Tower in the evening, and the world will gradually faint."
