In the Song Dynasty, a man named Shi Yang visited a great scholar named Cheng Yi. It snowed heavily that day, and Cheng Yigang was sleeping. Shi Yang was afraid to disturb the teacher's rest and didn't want to give up studying. So he stood in the snow at the door, waiting for the teacher. When Cheng Yi woke up, the snow was a foot deep.
2. Duke Zhou vomited and fed.
Duke Zhou, surnamed Ji Mingdan, is the fourth son of Zhou Wenwang and the younger brother of King Wu. He was a famous politician in ancient China. He assisted Zhou Wuwang in two expeditions to Zhou Wang and ruled the world with rites and music. Because of its fief in Zhou, Jue is the main, so it is called Duke of Zhou.
At that time, he was filial and kind, assisted in cutting Zhou and sealed in Lu. Duke Zhou did not go to seal the country, but stayed in the dynasty, assisted King Wu, and established a system for Zhou Anding's society. King Wu collapsed and he became the king's regent. According to Qufu County Records, "In thirteen years, the King of Wu ruled the world and was awarded a title in Qufu. If he didn't, he was awarded a public title. When he became king, he was awarded the royal title in Lu. " .
The newly established Zhou Dynasty faced serious difficulties. In Shang Dynasty, the old nobles were preparing for restoration, and the Duke of Zhou's assistant government violated the principle of father's death and son's succession in the hereditary system of the throne, resulting in internal contradictions in Zhou's group. As a result, the remnants colluded with the rebel forces within the Zhou family, and their representatives were Zhou Wang's son Wu Geng, "Three Supervisors" Guan Shu, Cai Shu and others. As a result, Duke Zhou put down his uncle's rebellion, destroyed 50 countries, established the southeast, and restored the system of rites and music.
Duke Zhou was afraid of losing the sages of the world. Once he washes his hair, he holds his uncombed hair many times. When eating a meal, I vomited several times and couldn't wait to receive the wise men.
This is the allusion of the idiom "holding hair and spitting food". The duke of Zhou took care of the young king. Once, the King of Qi was seriously ill, and the Duke of Zhou was very anxious. He cut his nails, sank into the river and prayed to the river god _ "I'm not sensible now, it's all my fault. If I die, let me die. " Wang Cheng really recovered. Seven years after the Duke of Zhou was regent, the king had grown up, so Duke of Zhou returned to politics and returned to the position of minister himself.
3. Kong Rong lets pears.
Kong Rong had five brothers and one younger brother when he was a child. One day, I ate pears at home. A plate of pears was placed in front of everyone, and my brother asked my brother to take it first. Guess what pear Kong Rong is holding? He doesn't pick the good ones, he doesn't pick the big ones, he only takes the smallest ones.
Dad was very happy after seeing it. Although the child is only four years old, he is really sensible. He deliberately asked Kong Rong, "There are so many pears, you should take them first. Why not take the big one and only the smallest one? "
Kong Rong replied: "I am young and should bring the youngest;" The big one is for my brother. " The father asked him again, "You still have a younger brother, isn't he younger than you?" Kong Rong said, "I am older than my brother. I'm my brother. I should leave the old one to my brother. "
You see, how well Kong Rong speaks. His father smiled: "Good boy, good boy, really good boy." Kong Rong is four years old and knows how to make pears. Make way for brothers, make way for brothers. Everyone speaks highly of him.
4. Mencius divorced his wife
Mencius, a thinker, politician and educator in the Warring States period, was the main representative of the Confucian school after Confucius, and was honored as the "sage" after Confucius by later generations.
On one occasion, Mencius' wife was resting in her room. Because she was alone, she sat with her legs crossed without scruple. At this moment, Mencius pushed the door and came in. He was very angry when he saw his wife sitting like this.
It turns out that it is very impolite for the ancients to sit with their legs spread forward as baskets, and it is very impolite to sit with baskets facing people. Mencius went out without a word. When he met Meng Mu, he said, "I want to divorce my wife and go back to her house." Meng Mu asked him, "Why?"
Mencius said, "She has neither grace nor grace." Meng Mu asked again, "Why do you think she is rude?" "She sits with her legs crossed and leans against someone," Mencius replied, "so I want to divorce her." "Then how do you know?" Meng Mu asked.
Mencius told Meng Mu the scene just now. Meng Mu said after hearing this: Then it should be you who are impolite, not your wife. Have you forgotten how to teach people in the Book of Rites? Before entering the house, ask who is inside.
Speak loudly when you go to the hall; To avoid seeing other people's privacy, bow your head after entering the room. Think about it, the bedroom is a place to rest. You broke in without making a sound or bowing your head, and you have lost your manners. How can you blame others for being rude? You are the rude person! Mencius was so convinced of what he said that he never mentioned divorcing his wife and returning to her family again.
5. Emperor Han Ming respects his teacher very much.
When Emperor Liu Zhuang was a prince, Dr. Huan Rong was his teacher. Later, he succeeded to the throne and became emperor. He personally went to Taichang House, sat in Huanrong in the east, set up a few sticks, and listened to the teacher's instructions as he did in the past. He also called hundreds of North Korean officials and students taught by Huan Rong to the Taichang Hall to pay tribute to his disciples.
When Huan Rong was ill, Ming Di sent someone to offer condolences and even went to visit him in person. Every time I visit my teacher, Ming Emperor City gets off the bus as soon as he enters the street to show his respect. After entering the door, I often hold the teacher's skinny hand and cry silently for a long time.
The emperor of the dynasty did this to Huan Rong, so "the assistant ministers, generals and doctors who asked for illness were afraid to come to the door by car again, and they all worshipped under the bed." After Huan Rong's death, Ming Di changed his clothes, attended the funeral in person, and made proper arrangements for his children.
