What is the inspirational story of the writer Cui Hong in the Northern Wei Dynasty?

<> Cui Hong was born into a family of scholars, and his uncle was a famous historian. His ambition was to write a book on the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms. It was also a turning point in his life.

In order to fulfill this wish, he almost exhausted his family property and wealth. Sometimes it even reaches the point where you don't have money to buy anything. It can be seen that his life is very poor. But the point is that he didn't write this book for anyone.

It's for your own ideals. In fact, it is very rare in modern times, after all, no one gives you some money, you simply just want to fulfill your dreams and your own ideals. The resulting embarrassment of life, which is very rare.

The Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms was written by Cui Hong, and its focus is that it describes a fragmentary history of the rise and fall of the sixteen regimes before the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty to the unification of the North by the Northern Wei Dynasty.

To outsiders, he is very outrageous. Cui Hong's family background is very good, not only has a very rich tradition of historiography, but also the birth of the family is very good at that time.

The biggest inspirational story is the sixteen springs and autumns he wrote. At your own expense, without anyone asking for it, you write your own book. After Cui Hong's death. The Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms only began, and it was slowly recognized by people.

For a long time, the Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, like other writings, was not taken seriously. So much so that it was almost lost.

To sum up, Cui Hong made his family very embarrassed for the sake of a spring and autumn period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, because when he had not written this book, his family was very rich.

At that time, the status and power should be able to live a very chic life. In fact, such a spirit is very rare in our modern times. We no longer strive for our so-called ideals, and for this we should want to learn from Cui Hong.

At the same time, he began to work on his ideals.

In order to transcribe and collect historical materials, he took out almost all his property and money, and sometimes he did not even have the money to buy paper, which shows that he compiled books under the circumstances of a very difficult life. A few years later, the first draft of "Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms" was basically completed. But in order to finish the last five parts and complete his quest, he looked around for the rest of the scrolls.

It took a full twenty years to find the materials for the last five parts and finish the book.
