Five Stories of Integrity 1. The Establishment of Yan Shu’s Credibility Yan Shu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, is known for his honesty.
When he was fourteen years old, someone recommended him to the emperor as a child prodigy. The emperor summoned him and asked him to take the exam at the same time as more than a thousand Jinshi.
As a result, Yan Shu discovered that the test was one he had just practiced ten days ago, so he truthfully reported it to Zhenzong and requested that other questions be changed. Song Zhenzong admired Yan Shu's honest character very much and gave him "the same background as a Jinshi".
When Yan Shu was in office, the world was at peace. As a result, officials of all sizes in the capital often went to the countryside to play or held various banquets in restaurants and teahouses in the city.
Yan Shu's family was poor and he had no money to go out to eat, drink and have fun, so he had to read and write articles at home with his brothers. One day, Zhenzong promoted Yan Shu to the East Palace official who assisted the prince in his studies.
The ministers were surprised and did not understand why Zhenzong made such a decision. Zhenzong said: "Recently, the ministers often travel and have banquets. Only Yan Shu studies behind closed doors. He is so self-respecting and cautious, and he is a suitable candidate for the official of the East Palace."
Yan Shu thanked him and said: "I actually like to play. The people at the banquet are just poor people. If I had money, I would have participated in the banquet."
These two things established Yan Shu's credibility in front of the officials, and Song Zhenzong. I also trust him more. 2. Comparison between Washington, Nixon and Clinton. Washington chopped down a cherry tree belonging to his father with a small axe.
When my father saw his beloved tree being cut down, he was very angry and threatened to teach the man who cut down the tree a lesson. Washington admitted his mistake without hesitation in front of his furious father.
My father was moved and said that Washington's honesty was much more precious than all the cherry trees. Similarly, US President Richard Nixon was forced to resign after being exposed for lying during the Watergate Incident; Clinton also narrowly escaped impeachment for lying during a disgraceful scandal.
One was loved and respected for his honesty, while the two left a stain on political history for lying. 3. Comparison between standing up a tree for faith and playing beacon fire to the princes. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shang Yang of the Qin State presided over the reform with the support of Qin Xiaogong.
At that time, when wars were frequent and people were in panic, in order to establish prestige and promote reforms, Shang Yang ordered a three-foot-long log to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: Who can make this happen? Move a piece of wood to the north gate and get a reward of ten taels. The onlookers didn't believe that such an easy thing could get such a high reward, so no one was willing to give it a try.
So Shang Yang increased the reward to 50 gold. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and finally someone stood up and carried the wood to the north gate.
Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty gold. Shang Yang's move established prestige in the hearts of the people, and Shang Yang's subsequent reforms soon spread in the Qin State.
The new law made Qin gradually stronger and stronger, and finally unified China. And in the same place where Shang Yang "erected a tree as a sign of trust", 400 years ago, a ridiculous farce of "playing with the princes by beacon fire" took place.
King Zhou You had a favorite concubine named Bao Si. In order to win her smile, King Zhou You ordered beacon fires to be lit on more than 20 beacon towers near the capital. Invasion can only be ignited when the princes are summoned to rescue. As a result, when the princes saw the beacon fire, they hurried over with their soldiers and generals. After understanding that this was the king's trick to win over his wife, they left angrily.
Bao Si finally smiled happily when she saw how the normally dignified princes were at a loss. Five years later, Youyi Tairong launched a large-scale attack on Zhou Dynasty. King You's war was reignited but the princes did not arrive - no one wanted to be fooled a second time.
As a result, King You was forced to commit suicide and Bao Si was captured. An emperor who "stands tall to gain trust" can make a promise worth a thousand dollars; an emperor who has no faith plays the game of "crying wolf".
As a result, the former's reform was successful and the country became strong; the latter brought humiliation to himself and died. It can be seen that "faith" plays a very important role in the rise and fall of a country.
4. "Yu Ion" records a story about someone who lost his life due to broken promises. There was a businessman in Jiyang when his boat sank when he was crossing the river. He grabbed a hemp stalk and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound and went there.
The businessman hurriedly shouted: "I am the biggest rich man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 100 taels of gold." After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned his back on him.
He only gave the fisherman 10 taels of gold. The fisherman blamed him for not keeping his word and going back on his word.
The rich man said: "You are a fisherman and you have never made much money in your life. Are you not satisfied with suddenly getting ten taels of gold?" Ganfu had no choice but to leave in dismay. Unexpectedly, the rich man's boat capsized again.
When someone wanted to save him, the man who had been deceived by him said, "He is the one who doesn't keep his words!" So the businessman drowned. It was accidental that the businessman capsized and met the same man twice, but the bad news for the businessman was to be expected.
Because if a person is not trustworthy, he will lose the trust of others. Therefore, once he is in trouble, no one is willing to come to his rescue.
Those who break their trust will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death if they are in trouble. 5. Ji Bu's "a promise of a thousand gold" saved him from disaster. In the late Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu who always kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people established a strong friendship with him.
There was even a proverb circulating at that time: "It is better to get Jibu Yinuo than to get a hundred catties of gold." (This is the origin of the idiom "A promise of a thousand catties") Later, he offended Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, A reward was offered for his capture.
As a result, his old friend not only was not deceived by the huge sum of money, but also risked the destruction of the nine tribes to protect him and save him from disaster. A person who is honest and trustworthy will naturally get a lot of help and can gain everyone's respect and friendship.
On the other hand, if you are greedy for temporary comfort or small gains and break your trust with your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, and reputation is much more important than material things.
Therefore, breaking one's trust with a friend is like losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds. 7\The Story of Integrity In a riverside park in New York stands the "Civil War Fallen Soldiers Monument", where many tourists come to pay homage to the dead every year.
The tomb of General Grant, the 18th president of the United States and commander of the Northern Army during the Civil War, is located in the north of the park. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple.
Behind the mausoleum is a large green lawn that stretches to the edge of the park and to the edge of the steep cliff.
Behind General Grant's mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is a child's mausoleum.
It is a very small and ordinary tomb. In any other place, you may ignore its existence. Like most American mausoleums, it only has a small piece. 4. Idioms, famous sayings and stories about integrity

Zeng Shen’s wife didn’t want to take her child, so she said to him: “You have fun at home, and when mother comes back, I will kill the pigs at home and cook meat for you to eat.” The child was very happy after hearing this. , no longer clamoring to go to the market.
These words were meant to coax the children, but Zeng Shen’s wife forgot about them afterwards. Unexpectedly, Zeng Shen actually killed a pig at home.
When the wife saw that Zeng Shen had killed the pig, she said, "In order to let the child wait at home with peace of mind, I said that when I came back from the market, I would kill the pig and roast the meat for him to eat. What did you do?" Seriously." Zeng Shen said: "Children cannot be deceived.
Children are young and do not understand the world, so they have to learn from others, especially their parents. Today you have deceived your children. If you tarnish his heart, tomorrow the child will deceive you and others; if you fail to keep your word in front of the child today, tomorrow the child will no longer trust you. You see how harmful this is." 5. Quotes about integrity. Story

"Sir, please buy a pack of matches," the little boy said. "I don't buy it." replied the gentleman. As he spoke, the gentleman dodged the boy and continued walking, "Sir, please buy a pack. I haven't eaten anything today," the little boy caught up and said. When the gentleman saw that he couldn't hide from the boy, he said, "But I don't have any change." "Sir, please bring the matches first, and I will change the change for you." After saying that, the boy ran away quickly with a pound given by the gentleman. The gentleman waited for a long time, but the boy still didn't come back. The gentleman went home helplessly.
The next day, the gentleman was working in his office. The servant said that a boy came and asked to see the gentleman. So the boy was called in.

"My brother was hit by a carriage and seriously injured on his way back to you after changing his change. He is lying at home." The gentleman was deeply moved by the little boy's integrity. "Let's go see your brother!" When we went to the boy's home, we found that only the stepmothers of the two boys were greeting the seriously injured boys.

When he learned that the biological parents of the two boys were both dead, he decided to take on everything they needed in life.
