When Yue Fei was fifteen or sixteen years old, the Jin people from the north invaded the south, and those in power in the Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, and the country was at a critical juncture. Yue Fei joined the army to fight against Liao. Soon after, due to the loss of his father, he retired and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety.
1 126 years, nomads from the central plains invaded on a large scale, and Yue Fei joined the army again. Before leaving, Mrs Yao called Yue Fei to her side and said, "What are your plans now?"
"Go to the front line to kill the enemy and be loyal to the country!"
Mrs Yao is satisfied with her son's answer. "Serving the country faithfully" is a mother's hope for her son. She decided to tattoo these four words on her son's back and let him remember them forever.
Yue Fei unbuttoned her coat, revealing her thin back and letting her mother take the needle.
Mrs. Yao asked, "Son, acupuncture is very painful. Are you afraid? "
Yue Fei said, "Mom, a small steel needle is nothing. If you are afraid of needles, how can you go to the front to fight! "
Mrs Yao wrote on Yue Fei's back first, and then embroidered it with embroidery. But there is nothing in the word "country", which symbolizes that China has no leader. After the stabbing, my mother-in-law drew it in vinegar ink. Since then, the word "loyalty to the country" on Yue Fei's back has never faded. Mother's encouragement inspired Yue Fei.
Extended data:
Yue Fei's mother, Mrs Yao Taifu, one of the four virtuous wives in ancient times, taught her son to be loyal to his country. As a model of mother education and women, she encouraged her son to join the army and serve the country faithfully when the country was in danger. She is told as a story and respects her mother.
By the middle of Ming Dynasty, Yue Fei's story began to spread widely. Under the influence of Confucianism, The Tattoo of Mother-in-law has been endowed with many metaphysical cultural connotations, which is also an important reason for its long-term prosperity. Later storytelling called "loyalty to the country" as "loyalty to the country". And made up a song to spread among the people.
