Story:
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a scholar named Huang Xian who came from a humble family. From a young age, his erudition was exceptional.
The renowned scholar Xun Shu, after meeting him, discovered that the 14-year-old Huang Xian could surprisingly serve as his teacher. People often compared Huang Xian to Yuan Lang, an official, believing Huang Xian to be superior.
Dai Liang, a fellow villager, was initially quite conceited, thinking himself more knowledgeable than Huang Xian. However, every time he met Huang Xian, he would invariably feel a profound sense of bewilderment and loss, as if he had misplaced something important.
