Zeng Shen, a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, was a proud disciple of Confucius. He is called "Ceng Zi" and is famous for his filial piety. When I was a teenager, my family was poor and I often went to the mountains to collect firewood. One day, there were guests at home, and my mother was at a loss and bit her finger with her teeth. Zeng Shen suddenly felt distressed. Knowing that his mother was calling him, he hurried home with firewood on his back and knelt down to ask why. Mother said, "Suddenly a guest came, and I bit my finger. I hope you will come back." Zeng Shen received the guests and treated them with courtesy. The well-read Zeng Shen once put forward the cultivation method of "I will save myself in three days" (The Analects of Confucius Learning). According to legend, his works include Confucian classics such as "The University" and "The Book of Filial Piety". Later, Confucianism honored him as "Zongsheng".
Zhong You, Zi and Lu Ji, who were born in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, were proud disciples of Confucius. He is straightforward, brave and very filial. In the early years, my family was poor, and I often picked wild vegetables to cook, but I went home from a hundred miles away to serve my parents. After his parents died, he became a big official and was ordered to go to Chu, with hundreds of chariots and horses and accumulated as much as 10 thousand grain. Sitting on a piled brocade mattress and eating a sumptuous banquet, he often misses his parents and laments, "Even if I want to eat wild vegetables, where can I get them?" Confucius praised: "You served your parents best when you were alive, but you missed them after you died!" " !
Huang Tingjian, a famous poet and calligrapher, was born in Fenning (now Xiushui, Jiangxi) in the Northern Song Dynasty. Although he is in a high position, he still tries his best to serve his mother. He personally washes the drowning device (toilet) for his mother every night, and forgets his son's duties every day.
