One or three minutes of classic China cultural stories.
Liu Gongquan was a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. He showed great talent in calligraphy since he was a child, and calligraphy is well known to all.
One day, Liu Gongquan and several friends held a "reading club". At this time, an old man selling tofu saw his handwriting, "I can write about Feng Fei's family background and dare to boast in front of people." He thought the child was too proud and frowned and said, "This word is not well written, like my tofu, which has no bones. Is it worth boasting in front of people? " Hearing this, Hsiao Kung chuan said unhappily, "Write some words for me if you can."
The old man smiled heartily and said, "No, I dare not. I am a clown and can't write well. " However, some people write with their feet much better than you! If you don't believe me, go to Huajing. "
The next day, Xiao Gongquan got a vigil and went to Huajing alone. As soon as I entered the capital of China, I saw many people around a big pagoda tree. He squeezed into the crowd and saw a black and thin old man, without arms and barefoot, sitting on the ground, his left foot pressing paper, his right foot holding a pen, writing couplets freely, and his handwriting was like a galloping horse, while flying while flying, which won applause from the onlookers.
Xiao Gongquan plopped down on his knees in front of the old man and said, "I would like to worship you as a teacher, please tell me the secret of writing ..." The old man quickly pulled Xiao Gongquan up with his feet and said, "I am a lonely man, born without hands, and I can only live skillfully with my feet. How can I be a teacher? " Xiao Gongquan begged, and the old man spread a piece of paper on the ground and wrote a few words with his right foot: "Write eight jars of water, and the inkstone will be black;" When you win hundreds of parents, you will get a phoenix in Yi Long. "
Liu Gongquan kept the old man's words in mind and worked hard to practice calligraphy. Thick cocoons were ground on the hands and the elbows were patched layer by layer. After hard work, Liu Gongquan finally became a great calligrapher.
Not only does he write well, but he is as strong and upright as his handwriting. It is said that once Liu Gongquan was writing, Emperor Mu Zong praised him repeatedly while reading it, and asked in surprise, "Why is your handwriting so good?" ? Can you tell me the secret of calligraphy? Without thinking, Liu Gongquan replied, "There is a pen in your heart, a regular heart and a correct pen! "The secret of writing lies in the heart, the heart is not clean and correct, and the handwriting is not beautiful.
Words of wisdom: No matter what you do, you need to be single-minded, study hard and practice hard to succeed. "Disciples' Rules" said: "Momo films are ill-intentioned, disrespectful and ill-headed. "It means that the ancients wrote with a brush. They should grind ink before writing. If you are absent-minded, the ink will wear off. If your handwriting is crooked, it means you are impetuous. A person's words can reflect the inner wisdom. If the handwriting is crooked and can't be seen clearly for a long time, this person may be confused; If the handwriting is generous and neat, it can be inferred that he has clear thinking and strong discrimination.

Su Dongpo likes reading since he was a child. He is brilliant and has an amazing memory. After reading an article, he can recite it verbatim. After several years of hard study, he has become a learned man. One day, he drunkenly wrote a pair of couplets and ordered his family to stick them at the gate. It says, "Read all the books in the world and know all the human characters."
A few days later, Su Dongpo was reading at home when he suddenly heard a servant report that someone was asking for an audience outside the door. When he came out, he saw an old lady with white hair. The old lady pointed to the couplet on the door and asked him, "Have you really read all the books in the world and know all the human characters?"
Su Dongpo was very unhappy and said proudly, "Can I lie?"
The old lady took a book out of her pocket and said, "I have a book here." Please take a look at it for me. What does it say? "
Su Dongpo took the book, turned it over from beginning to end, and turned it over from beginning to end. He didn't know any words in the book. He couldn't help feeling ashamed and ashamed of his big talk, so he stretched out his hand and tore up the couplet on the door.
The old lady quickly stepped forward to stop: "Slow down! I can modify this couplet. " So two words were added before each sentence, which read: "Read all the books in the world in anger, and be determined to know all the words in the world", and earnestly warned: "Young people, there is no end to learning!"
Words of wisdom: We have a person temporarily, but the ideas of ordinary people are not always credible, so we must work hard day and night to do something meaningful. In the process of learning, we should also remember that "there is no end to learning", and we must never be complacent and content with less.

During the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng was very studious as a teenager. As his family is poor, he has to do a lot of work during the day to earn money. Only at night can he sit down and read. However, he can't afford candles, so he can't read when it is dark. Kuang Heng likes this kind of wasted time, and his heart is very painful. His neighbor's family is very rich. At night, light candles in several rooms to make them bright. One day, Kuang Heng summoned up his courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I lend you an inch of land? " Neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their family, so they said viciously and sarcastically, "Since you are too poor to buy candles, what books are you reading?" Kuang Heng was very angry, but he decided to read the book well.
When Kuang Heng came home, he quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the neighbor's candlelight came in. With this faint light, he eagerly began to read books and gradually finished reading all the books at home.
After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and his desire to continue reading more books was even more urgent. There is a big family nearby with many books. One day, Kuang Heng rolled up his bedding and appeared in front of a big house. He said to his host, "please take me in, and I will work for you at home for free." Just let me read all your books. " The host was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow books.
This is how Kuang Heng studied diligently. Later, he became the prime minister of the Han and Yuan emperors and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.

Mencius was very tired of learning when he was a child. One day he didn't want to study, so he fled home. Meng Mu happened to be weaving. When he came back from playing truant, he broke the weaving shuttle without saying a word, which meant that all the fabrics to be woven were destroyed. Mencius was very filial, so he knelt down and asked, why are you doing this? Meng Mu told him, "It doesn't take a day or two to study. Just like weaving, I will start with thread and then weave one by one. Only when the cloth is woven together can I make clothes. The same is true of reading. If you can't persevere and give up halfway like you, how can you become a talent in the future? " Mencius woke up from a dream and suddenly realized that he would concentrate on his studies and never miss classes again. Later, he became an "Asian saint" after Confucius.
Disciple Rules says: "Parents should listen to what they teach and be responsible. "The blame for parents and elders should be willing to listen and should also be regarded as an instruction.

Xunzi recorded such a thing: when Confucius visited a temple in Lu Huangong, he saw an inclined vessel and asked the temple keeper, "What kind of vessel is this?" "This is the vessel that the king put on the right side of the seat to warn himself." Confucius said, "It is said that the utensils on the right side of the throne will tilt when empty, and will be straight when half filled with water, and will turn over when filled with water." Confucius turned to his disciples and said, "Pour water into it." The disciples scooped up water and poured it into it. As you can see, when the water is poured in half, the container will straighten; When filled with water, the container overturned; When it is empty, the container tilts. Confucius sighed: "Alas, where is it that you can't fail when you are full?"
Lutz asked, "Is there any way to keep it full?"
Confucius replied: "Cleverness and profound wisdom should be maintained by dull methods;" Credit is spread all over the world, so we should maintain it modestly; Face the world bravely and keep it with timidity. If you are rich and have all over the world, you should save it thrifty. This is the way to curb and belittle complacency. "
Words of wisdom: Whether in a high position or among ordinary people, Zhi Zhi's gentle and humble attitude can protect our reason, make our country prosperous and the people safe.
A classic China cultural story of six or three minutes.
Yan Ying is the prime minister of Qi.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, governors were afraid of the power of Chu. Small countries come to worship, and big countries dare not form an alliance with them. Chu became the overlord of the vassal States.
Yan Ying, a native of Qi, was sent to Chu. When King Chu Ling heard that the envoy of the State of Qi was Prime Minister Yan Ying, he said to the left and right, "Yan is less than five feet tall, but he is known as a saint. I think Chu is strong and weak, and Qi should be humiliated to show the strength of Chu. "
Taizai said aside, "Yan is good at answering questions. One thing is not enough to humiliate him. It must be like this. " The king of Chu was very happy and did it as planned.
Yan Ying, dressed in royal robes, took a bus to the east gate of the capital of Chu. When he saw that the city gate would not open, he ordered someone to call it. The gatekeeper has received orders from Taizai.
He pointed to the next door and said, "Guo Xiang, let's go in and out of this dog hole!" This hole is big enough for you to go in and out. Why bother to open the city gate and enter from there? "
Yan Ying smiled and said, "This is the door for dogs, not people. People who go to the dog country go in and out through the dog door, and people who go to the human country go in and out through the human door. I don't know whether I am in the country of man or dog. I don't think Chu is a dog country! "
The gatekeeper passed on Yan Ying's words to King Chu Ling. King Chu Ling listened, pondered for a while, and then reluctantly ordered to open the city gate and let Yan Ying enter the capital of Chu.
Small words of wisdom: judging people by their appearances can only show your ignorance. Wisdom depends on a strong mind and a good attitude, not on appearance. When we only look at people and things on the surface, we are often the first to be deceived.
