The song "Return of the Prodigal Son" sung by Wei Xiaodao, an eggplant and egg band, was released on 20 13, and the singing language was Minnan. I believe many people are confused about the lyrics, but they can still hear some feelings and vicissitudes.
As the name implies, the prodigal son turns back to the wrong person and turns over a new leaf. So today we will talk about the people and events of several famous prodigals in history!

Zhou Chu (236-297), the word Ziyin. Yixing Xian (now Yixing, Jiangsu) was the son of Zhou Fu, the prefect of Poyang.
At the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, when he was young, Ren Xia made him angry, which was a great disaster to the local people. At that time, Yixing called Zhou Chu a white-fronted tiger in the mountains and a dragon in the water "three evils".
Some people advised the early Zhou dynasty to kill the tiger and bring down the dragon, in fact, they hoped that only one would remain after the three evils competed. At the beginning of the week, he killed the tiger and went down to the river to cut the dragon. Dragons sometimes float and sometimes sink in the water, drifting for dozens of miles, and always fight dragons at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. After three days and three nights, the local people thought Zhou Chu was dead and took turns to celebrate.
As a result, Xiaolong was killed at the beginning of the week, and the truth came out. When he heard that everyone in the village thought they were dead and celebrated, he realized that everyone actually regarded themselves as a great disaster, so he had the intention of repentance.
So he went to Wujun to find Lu Ji and Lu Yun, two well-educated celebrities. Lu Ji was away at that time, but when he arrived at Lu Yun, he told Lu Yun the whole situation and said, "I wasted several years trying to modify myself, but I never achieved anything." Lu Yun said, "The ancients died when they heard the news in the morning, and Kuang Jun had a bright future. And if people are frustrated, why worry about making their names not evil? "
After hearing this, Zhou Chu turned over a new leaf and eventually became a loyal minister.

Cao Cao (155-0315,220) was born in Mengde, a lucky man and a small character, Asan, from Peiguoqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng was a eunuch. Because of the meritorious service of establishing Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty, he was named Da Changqiu and Fei Houting. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was Cao Teng's adopted son, and he was Qiu (one of the three public officials, the highest official in Wu Zhi) during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao has been an official for three generations, and since he was a child, he has had the habits of playboys and done many practical jokes. Cao Cao's friends are also rich dude, such as Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao. But among these people, Cao Cao has the most tricks, often doing something out of line, and always letting Yuan Shao take the blame afterwards.
When Cao Cao was young, he was willful, chivalrous and bohemian, so everyone around him thought that Cao Cao was an idle prodigal son and could not achieve great things. However, Xu Shao, a famous character critic at that time, commented on Cao Cao as: "A traitor of Jun Qingping, a hero in troubled times" (according to Xu Yunchuan in the Later Han Dynasty). The History of the Three Kingdoms is a "capable minister in charge of the world and a hero in troubled times". )
Although Cao Cao doesn't study knowledge, he doesn't study those rigid ancient books. He still has a high enthusiasm for learning knowledge and reads widely at a young age. Cao Cao especially likes Sun Tzu's art of war, and once copied various ancient strategies of Sun Tzu's art of war. These laid a solid foundation for his later military career.
Later, he became a lieutenant in the north of Luoyang, equivalent to the director of a branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau today. Made more than ten five-color sticks and hung them around the yamen. "Anyone who violates the ban will be killed with a stick." Jian Shuo, the uncle of the emperor's favorite eunuch, was forbidden to go at night. Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed him with a five-color stick. As a result, "the capital is gone, and no one dares to commit crimes."
Later, things like "ten regular attendants make an insurrection" and "Dong Zhuo goes to Beijing" happened. When Cao Cao saw Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior, he fled to Liu Chen, "scattered his wealth and joined the righteous army", and called on the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
From then on, Cao Cao led his men to fight in the north, gradually establishing the status of the overlord in the north and becoming a lean man in troubled times.
Third, Wei-from the wicked in Wulin to the poet secretariat.

Wei (737~792) was a poet of Tang Dynasty in China. Han nationality, Chang 'an (now Xi, Shaanxi) people. The great-grandson of Wenchang Youwei's family was born in Xiaoyao Mansion of Jingzhao Wei.
"The Book of the New Tang Dynasty" records: "Since the age of fifteen, Wei took Sanweilang as Xuanzong's near attendant, went in and out of the palace, and pursued pleasure. In the early years, in the countryside, I was unrestrained and overbearing, and the villagers were miserable. " At the age of fifteen, he became a servant of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which was a great honor and a prominent family background. As a result, he ran amok in the village, bullying men and women, and the villagers suffered greatly.
Later, Wei also said in "Whenever Yang Kaifu": "I don't care about the emperor, hooligans rely on kindness and privacy. China is horizontal, and home is fleeing. I'm afraid I'm in trouble, and I'm stealing from my neighbors at dusk. Division transferred to dare not catch, stand in yong ................................. "
"Five tombs are villains, and they are rampant in the village. Passers-by look askance, harbor fugitives, set up gambling games, and steal women and jade. I dare not ask, because Lang Wei is on duty in ouchi. "
The fishing drum and the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out, which changed the fate of the Tang Dynasty and the life track of Wei.
He also mentioned the dilemma at that time in Feng Yang Kaifu: "Huang Wu went to the immortal, gaunt and bullied." After the death of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Wei lost his support and felt like a lost dog. If he wants to live a good life, he must find his own way. So what is this road? That is reading!
So "I decided to study, eat less, and often' burn incense and sweep the floor'." This change transformed Wei. I have been on the political stage of the Tang Dynasty since I was a student, and it is a positive identity! He started from Luoyang city, recruited and joined the army in Beijing, served as the secretariat of Jiangzhou, and finally achieved the position of secretariat of Suzhou.
Wei's change not only made him achieve himself, but also won the title of poetry. Many of his excellent poems are included in The Whole Tang Poetry, and he is regarded as a very excellent poet.
A famous sentence handed down from ancient times is "Xixi on Chuzhou": pity the grass, and there are orioles singing in the trees. The spring tide brought the rain late and urgent, and there was no boat on the wild crossing. "
