In ancient times, there was a child named Sun who was filial to his parents and respected his elders from an early age, but his father was extremely filial to his grandfather. One day, his father suddenly put his old and sick grandfather in a basket, sent him to the mountains and threw him away. Sun took his father and cried on his knees, but his father ignored him. He suddenly had a brainwave and said, "Since my father wants to throw grandpa away, I can't help it, but I have a request." When his father asked him what he wanted, he said, "I want to bring that basket back." The father wondered, "What do you want this for?" "Because when you are old, I will throw you away with it." Hearing this, the father was surprised: "How can you say such a thing!" " Sun said to him, "As a father educates his son, so should his son." My father thought about it, but he didn't dare to do what he thought before. He quickly took the old man home to support the elderly.
Words of wisdom: Disciples Rules says, "If you already have a kiss, you can make it more beautiful, please color me and soften my voice." If parents are negligent in words and deeds, it is difficult to communicate with each other. From the perspective of filial piety, children should use euphemistic tone to persuade him to stop bad behavior, not sharp language and arrogant attitude.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Shi Yang. He has great respect for his teachers and is always open-minded and eager to learn. Cheng Men Sydney is a short story about his respect for his teachers and hard work.
Shi Yang worked very hard as a teenager. Later, after winning the Jinshi, he refused to be an official, continued to learn from the teacher and studied hard. At that time, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi were famous scholars in China. Shi Yang first learned a lot from Cheng Hao. Four years later, Cheng Hao died. In order to continue his study, he took Cheng Yi as his teacher. At this time, Shi Yang was 40 years old, but he was still modest and respected his teachers.
One day, the sky was overcast and a heavy snow was coming. After lunch, Shi Yang asked his classmate You Zuo to go to the Cheng family in order to ask the teacher a question. The doorman said that Cheng Yi was taking a nap. They didn't want to disturb the teacher's nap, so they stood silently outside the door and waited.
There is a heavy snow in the sky, and it is getting bigger and bigger. They stood outside the door, snowflakes flying over their heads, shivering with cold. They are still standing outside the door waiting.
After a long time, Cheng Yi woke up and realized that Youzuo had been waiting in the snow outside for a long time, so he called them in quickly. At this point, the snow outside the door has accumulated more than a foot deep.
Shi Yang's excellent moral character of respecting teachers and valuing morality has always been praised by people. It is precisely because he was able to respect his teachers and consult them modestly that he made rapid progress in his studies and finally became a well-known scholar in China. People who came to him for advice from all directions came all the way to worship him as a teacher, and everyone respectfully called him "Mr. Kameyama."

Pang Gong, the doctor of Wei, will accompany Wang Wei to Zhao as a hostage. Before leaving, he said to Wang Wei, "If a person says there are tigers in the market, will your majesty believe it?"
Wei Wangdao: "I don't believe it."
Pang Gong said, "If they say there are tigers in the market, will your majesty believe them?"
Wei Wangdao: "I am skeptical."
Pang Gong added, "If three people say there are tigers in the market, will your majesty believe it?"
Wei Wangdao: "I believe it."
Pang Gong said: "It is clear that there will be no tigers in the market, but after three people said it, it seems that there really are tigers. Now Zhao is far away from Wei than this market, and there are more than three people who say that I am. If someone speaks ill of me after I leave, I hope your majesty will see it clearly. "
Wei Wangdao: "I have my own discretion."
Later, the prince ended his hostage career, but Wang Wei really listened to the slanderers of the villain and did not summon Pang Gong again.
Words of little wisdom: to judge the truth of a thing, you must not listen to it with partiality, but must consider it carefully, otherwise you will take the rumor seriously by mistake. Be careful when commenting on others. When you see that others are wrong, you must observe them repeatedly. Otherwise, you will start to slander with speculation, and sometimes a casual remark will bring lifelong harm to others.

Shichong tofu
People in Jin Dynasty compared Shi Chong with Wang Kai, the uncle of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty: Wang Kai washed the pot with sugar water after dinner, and Shi Chong used candles as firewood; Wang Kai made a four-mile purple silk barrier, and Shi Chong made a five-mile brocade barrier. Emperor Wu of Jin secretly helped Wang Kai by giving him a rare coral tree two feet high. Wang Kai showed off to Shi Chong. Unexpectedly, Shi Chong smashed the coral tree with an iron bar, and then laughed it off: "Don't feel bad, I'll pay you." He ordered six or seven coral trees, all three or four feet high, much better than those in Wang Kai. Wang Kai had to give up, wiped his feet with oil and left, even the fragmented coral tree.
However, it is foolish to compare with others. The key to a person's life lies in virtue and knowledge. It is not shameful to live in poverty as long as one has excellent moral character and excellent study. Just like Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius, although his family was poor, he was happy, sensitive and studious. When Confucius taught him a truth, he could immediately learn from others and carry forward Confucius' thoughts. Confucius had high hopes for him, but unfortunately he died at the age of 32. For Yan Hui's virtue, Confucius once praised: "Good, return!" ! A spoonful of food, a spoonful of drink, in the mean lane, people can't bear their worries, and they won't change their fun when they go back. "It means that Yan Hui eats with a bamboo tube as a bowl, drinks water directly with a ladle, and lives in a very humble alley. Others feel sorry for him, because he is so poor, but he doesn't change his fun and is still very philosophical.
Words of little wisdom: Disciples' Rules says: "Only learning to be virtuous, being talented, being inferior to others, should be self-motivated. If you wear clothes, if you eat and drink, you are not as good as people. Don't be sad. " It means: If you are inferior to others in morality, knowledge and talent, you should encourage yourself to catch up and be competitive in this respect. But the material enjoyment should be reduced, and don't compare with others. Even if you live in poverty, clothing, food, housing, wealth and so on are not as good as others, there is no need to worry.

There is a story in Shi Shuo Xin Yu: Guan Ning and Hua Xin are very good friends. They eat at the same table, study in the same bed, sleep in the same bed and are inseparable all day.
Once, they were weeding in the field. Guan Ning dug up an ingot of gold, but ignored it and went on weeding. Huaxin learned about this, dropped his hoe and ran over, picked up the gold, groped around and fondled it. Seeing this, Guan Ning scolded while working: "Money comes from hard work. A moral person should not covet his unearned property. " Hearing this, Hua Xin reluctantly left Gold and went back to work, but he kept sighing. On ning saw him like this, no longer say anything, just silently shook his head.
Once again, they sat on the mat and read a book. At this time, a big official walked by the window, beating gongs and drums, crowding round, imposing. Ning Guan turned a deaf ear to the noise outside as if nothing had happened. Huaxin was attracted by this ostentation and extravagance. He felt that he couldn't see clearly in the room, so he simply stopped reading and ran to the street to watch the excitement.
Guan Ning witnessed what Hua Xin had done, and could no longer restrain his disappointment. When Hua Xin came back, he cut the mat in front of him in half and announced sadly, "Our aspirations and interests are so different. From now on, we are like this cut straw mat and are no longer friends! " This is "Ning Guan's parting" on the calendar.
Words of little wisdom: Disciples Rules says: "If you don't show kindness, you will do endless harm. Little people advance, and everything is not good. "If you refuse to approach a virtuous person, you will bring infinite harm to yourself. Once you let the villain take advantage of it, everything you do will fall short, and you may even fall into the abyss of sin.

When King Wen was born, a pair of cardinals stopped at the door, holding a red book in their mouths, which indicated a good omen for the birth of a saint.
When I was born on Monday, I saw a son, and then I saw that this little grandson Ji Chang really had extraordinary talents, so I planned to pass the throne to Ji Chang. Taber knew what his father meant, so he discussed with his eldest brother Zhong Yong how to obey his relatives. At this time, it happened that Mrs. Zhou was ill, so Taibo left Zhou in the name of collecting herbs and went to the south. First, he escaped from his father and sent someone to follow him. Second, he expressed his hope to cede the throne of Zhou Guo to Ji Li.
When his father died, the two eldest brothers didn't go back to offer their condolences, so it was natural for Ji Li to succeed to the throne. At that time, many people went to Man Jing to look for Taber, who was tattooed in order not to be recognized.
Ji Li is also very kind and kind. Seeing that his two brothers were so kind to him, he lived up to expectations, managed the country well, and finally passed the throne to Ji Chang. This is the famous Zhou Wenwang.
"Taibo three let the world", he fulfilled his parents' wishes; Completed the prosperity of the Zhou dynasty for 800 years; Perfect the atmosphere of the whole society. Later, Confucius praised Taibo, saying that he had reached the point of supreme virtue.
Words of wisdom: Taber's greatness lies in his filial piety to his parents and his love for his brothers. In order not to embarrass his father, he made an excuse to leave home. Politeness to his brother earned him the respect of the whole world.

Wang Xizhi's son, Wang Xianzhi, learned calligraphy from his father, Wang Xizhi, in order to inherit his family's knowledge.

He clicked a dot under the word "big" in the article. Wang Xianzhi didn't understand what was going on, so she showed it to her mother. Wang Xianzhi's mother is also a calligrapher. She read Wang Xianzhi's handwriting and pointed to Wang Xizhi's point of view above and said to him, "This point of view is well written." After listening to this, Wang Xianzhi realized that his calligraphy was far from his father's. Since then, he devoted himself to practicing calligraphy and later became a famous calligrapher.
Words of little wisdom: Disciples Rules says: "Don't give up on yourself, don't give up on yourself, saints are virtuous and can't be tamed." It means: when encountering difficulties or setbacks, don't give up on yourself, don't be cynical. You should be angry and study hard. Although the realm of sages is high, it can be reached step by step.

Zhongyong's regret
In ancient times, there was a man named Fang Zhongyong. He showed his talent in poetry when he was very young and was known as a child prodigy.
Those wealthy families often invite Fang Zhongyong to their home, on the one hand, to witness the talent of this prodigy, and on the other hand, to show that they cherish talents. Of course, when Fang Zhongyong leaves, those wealthy families will give some money to show their gratitude.
Fang Zhongyong's father is a man who loves money very much. He regards Fang Zhongyong as a cash cow. When no one invited him, he led Fang Zhongyong to visit him on his own initiative in order to get some money from others.
Fang Zhongyong neglected his studies because he followed his father's employer to the west all day, and his talent in poetry gradually withered because he didn't choose the right training method.
When Fang Zhongyong grows up, people can no longer see the shadow of the original child prodigy from him.
Wisdom: Talent is not equal to success. You can't easily throw away the whip in your hand when driving a fierce horse; To operate the bow well, it must be adjusted repeatedly on the bow device. With the correction of rope ink, wood can be straightened and people can accept suggestions more wisely. A gentleman must learn!
