When Zhong Er developed, meson tui didn't take the initiative to grab Zhong Er's credit with those who were greedy for fame and fortune. He thinks this is what Zhong Er will get. He did it because he did what a servant should do. He is not qualified to judge his own merits. At the same time, he thinks it is a very shameful thing to take credit. From here, we can see meson tui's loyalty to Zhong Er. Of course, it can also be seen that mesons have the noble sentiment of "getting out of the mud without dyeing, getting clean without demon".
When Zhong Er listened to others' flattery, made friends with those treacherous courtiers, indulged in pleasure and beauty, and was promoted to a knight, Jiezitui told Zhong Er that all this was positive and wrong, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction and resentment towards Jin Wengong, nor did he yearn for and envy those rich and powerful celebrities. He just despised those who were greedy for money and even left a bloody book when they died.
When Zhong Er learned that Jiexiu lived in seclusion in the mountains, he began to regret his ingratitude and sent people everywhere to look for Jiexiu. Because he was impatient, he also did an absurd thing, that is, he sent someone to burn the mountain, and finally found the bodies of Jiezitui and his old mother under the tree. Zhong Er was heartbroken and buried their bodies. Since then, he has also been diligent and loving the people. It can also be seen from here that Zhong Er is still a very good monarch, who knows how to repay kindness, love talents and value affection and righteousness.
The story of meson push
The story of meson tui is closely related to a festival in China. What festival is it today? Let's explore slowly. First of all, we can trace it back to the Spring and Autumn Period. The story of meson push goes like this:
Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, was framed and forced to flee with a group of retainers such as Jiezitui. They had no food to eat and no place to live along the way. They are sick and poor. In order to save Zhong Er's life, Jietui decisively cut off a piece of meat from himself and gave it to him. Later, when Zhong Er ascended the throne of the State of Jin, he listened to the flattery of the treacherous court official and became fatuous. However, meson's earnest persuasion was useless, and his disappointment with Zhong Er made him retreat into the mountains. When Zhong Er found out, he sent someone to look for it, but he never found it. So he sent someone to burn the whole mountain. After the mountain was burned, he found that Jiezitui and his mother had died in the fire. Jin Wengong was badly hit, so he ordered the whole country to stop smoking and eat cold food that day. This is the origin of the Cold Food Festival. Besides, in memory of him, the day after that was regarded as Tomb-Sweeping Day.
Meson Tui is very loyal to his country. My heart is sincere, just like Zhuge Liang, a man of God in the Three Kingdoms period, who is keen on serving Liu Bei. After Liu Bei died, he also helped his son with his heart. It can be seen from the "model" in Chinese textbooks. Legend has it that meson tui left a poem written in blood before he died. He warned Jin Wengong with his own life that he must be diligent and honest. This shows the importance of this festival. The story of meson push can spread all over the world, not only to commemorate, but more importantly, let us remember the excellent moral quality of the Chinese nation.
The spirit of meson push
Meson Tui was a man in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although he is not a noble family and has no great achievements, he does have a lot of spirit worth learning. There are three main points in meson push.
First of all, the spirit of meson tui is that when Zhong Er was poor, hungry and cold, he begged others to give him some food, and finally he was beaten. Just as Zhong Er was dying, Meson pushed off his meat to satisfy Zhong Er's hunger. This spirit of selfless dedication is definitely worth learning. Of course, it doesn't mean learning to cut meat for others. On the contrary, we should help others when they are in trouble and do what we can. One should always devote oneself to the dedication of others.
Second, a man should always keep a clear head and keep the breeze blowing on his face. Don't covet any wealth, it's against morality. In the face of fame and fortune, meson tui doesn't flatter the king at all like those who are mercenary. He was indifferent to fame and wealth all his life, did not covet wealth, did not take the initiative to take credit, and even in the face of those fame and wealth, discouraged the king from imposing titles on his officials so wantonly, and should put the country first. This also tells us another truth, money. We should take appropriate measures instead of taking shortcuts.
The last point is to have a sincere and selfless patriotism. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, and we should all be patriotic. Meson devoted himself to his country and put national interests first. Even before his death, he left a warning to Jin Wengong, telling him to be "diligent and clear".
The spirit of meson push is very noble, which is worth learning by future generations.
