According to Liezi Tian Rui, one day, Confucius visited Mount Tai and passed Longyi (90 miles northeast of Ningyang County, Shandong Province). When he saw the clothes made of broken deerskin in Rongqi period, he was surprised to see a thick hemp rope tied around his waist, playing the piano and singing at the same time. Then, I asked, "When I saw Mr. Lu Qiu, I knew that my family was poor and bitter, but the piano and singing were calm, peaceful and beautiful, but there was no trace of life." I don't know why teachers and teachers are so happy and so obligated. "Rong Qiqi said with a smile," You think: people have raised everything. Although those animals and plants can walk backwards, they can't walk, and those birds and animals can walk but can't talk. Only human beings are the noblest. Since I may be born human, shouldn't I be happy? This is the first kind of fun. They are also human beings, but there are differences between men and women. For thousands of years, men have been respected and held a high position. I am lucky to be born, which is the second pleasure. When people were born into the world, some died in their mothers' stomachs before seeing the sun and the moon, while others died in their infancy. As for those who can grow up, too many people give up halfway because of illness or peace. At first, I lived to be 90 years old. I'm still alert, alert, and I haven't lost my teeth. I can eat and dress, I can walk and play the piano. This is the third kind of fun. Living in poverty and hardship is nothing more than ordinary to people, and decline is the ultimate utility of all people. I live a normal life and look forward to the ultimate effect of life with peace of mind. What can I be depressed about? Confucius couldn't help but say with emotion, "Mr. Teacher speaks very well! You are not only a decent person who can help the poor, but also a person who is good at comforting himself. Kong Qiu learned. "
The students saw the teacher chatting with a rural person for a long time and asked, "What kind of person is that?" Confucius said, "He is a master of the world and a teacher of Kong Qiu."
In many poems of later generations, Yung Yung's period is recorded, which is known as "Gao Shi". In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming wrote a poem "Drinking" and wrote a chapter about him: "Ninety lines, hunger and cold. It is not bad to be strong and poor, and it is mandatory to inherit the Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest and their Glorious Period for a hundred years. The Southern Dynasties have preserved it to this day, and painted him with the original works of seven sages of bamboo forest such as Ji Kang and Ruan Ji. Rong Luan, a scholar in the Song Dynasty and a former editor and secretary supervisor of Jixian Hall, regarded him as the founder of the Rong family when he wrote his first Family Tree.
Every time the prince appeared in front of the emperor, the teacher was lenient and dictatorial in front of the prince, and the younger one was chased by followers after the prince. An uncle and a nephew were in charge of the prince's teacher all the way, which made the court proud. After five years in office, the Crown Prince summed up the way of ministers in history and thought that it was a hero to stop when it was good. He said to Shu Shou: "The lesson of history is to be content without humiliation. If you succeed, you must judge the situation and retreat bravely. Man's career is like the sun and the moon, which is biased towards the sky and comes first. Our uncle and nephew has lost their reputation today. I am too timid to take this opportunity to leave North Korea for home. I will regret it later! " So, two people on the table at the same time, went to the butler. Seeing that Shu Jia's uncle was really old, Xuan Di agreed to their application.
After returning to other places, the two schools set up libraries widely and never charged students a penny; Every day, let the family put aside the dining tables and invite family, relatives and friends to play together. An old friend advised him, "Zhong Wenggong, your family is full of children and grandchildren. You should also set up fertile land and expand your family home, so that Sun Yong, the son of future generations, can protect the emperor's kindness and have a good life. Dawn replied, "am I too old to think about the future of my children and grandchildren?" This is necessary, but China has a lofty realm, and only children and grandchildren can work hard there, have enough food and clothing, and live a life no different from those in need. Buying extra realm at this moment can only make future generations slack off. A talented person, with more money, will weaken; If a poor man has more money, he will increase his mistakes. Moreover, the rich often become the object of indignation. Since I have no virtue to educate my children and grandchildren, I hope to reduce their mistakes and make people angry. Besides, the money was given to me by the wise emperor, and I am willing to recognize and cooperate with the clan folks to enjoy his reward. In this case, the rest of my life will not be very good. It is compulsory to enjoy a day's work. "Two-way exile" (now the town in the east and the district in the west) still exists today.
Cow clothes shed tears, such as the hardships of scholars, or the embarrassment of husband and wife. This idiom has nothing to do with Zhang Wang and his wife in the Western Han Dynasty.
According to Wang Han Zhangzhuan, Wang Zhongqing was born in Taishan (now north of magnetic kiln town, Ningyang County), and his official rank was "Jing". He was deeply influenced by his family studies since he was a child, and he studied the Five Classics of Confucianism deeply. He was already famous when he was 12 years old. In the first year of Huanglong (48), his father hired Xiahou Feng, the great granddaughter of Xiahou Jian, a famous family, as his wife. Xiahou Feng is gentle and virtuous. She loves Wang Xiangxue.
In the first year of Han and Yuan Dynasties, he went to Chang 'an for scientific research, and Xiahou also applied for the same trade. But at that time, my in-laws did not allow my daughter-in-law to show up everywhere. Xiahou Feng knelt behind her in-laws, and a sweet word deeply touched her parents and agreed to leave school together. It is 2,000 miles from Ju Ping to Chang 'an. The husband and wife drove away the dust and traveled day and night, but they also missed the date of the scientific research when they arrived in Luoyang. Under the persuasion of Xia Houdun, he worshipped Shandong Langxie as a teacher and assisted Fu as a teacher, and then attacked Confucianism and the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and made great progress in academic circles. Soon, Zhang Wang was infected with the plague, and with all his money, his life was very difficult, so the couple had to live in a ruined temple and beg for a living. Once, he was ill and had no quilt, so he had to cover it with tools such as hemp fiber woven by random grass. At that time, it was used to protect cattle from the cold. People call it "cow clothes". Zhang Wang curled up in a cow coat, shivering with cold. Feeling that he was dying, he sobbed and said to his wife, "I was so sick that I didn't even cover the quilt." It seems that I am going to die, so die! "The wife heard angry, huh? He said, "Zhong Qing! You are talking about the aristocratic class of the imperial court in Beijing. Who can match your knowledge? At this moment, you are poor and sick, and you are sobbing, not exerting yourself. How desperate! " Gong Yuwen was deeply moved and decided to take them to the government. Zhang Wang met a famous teacher, had a good wife and became an excellent student in Kyoto. After passing the imperial examination, he became an official, and he was promoted to "Beijing Zhao Yin".
After he became an official, he dared to gently remonstrate. Once, he was going to write a letter accusing General Wang Feng of usurping power. Teacher Gong Yu suggested that Zhang Wang write down the official list as soon as possible to avoid disaster. Zhang Wang said to the teacher, "A husband dares to speak and act, and dies for benevolence, although he is still alive." His wife, Xiahou Feng, also said, "A good man would rather be a ghost in prison than live under the roof of a despicable person." Utilitarianism, instead of being flattered by Wang Feng, was sentenced to prison and his wife and children were locked up. After Zhang Wang died in prison, Luoyang people posted banners along the street, which read "Zhang Wang complained about LOL video, Wang Feng poisoned, eliminated malice, and the bloody case was exposed". Li Xun, assistant minister of Huangmen, wrote a letter on the desk and applied for Zhang Wang's rehabilitation. After Ai Di rejected the memorial, he made it clear that the whole country was rehabilitated for Zhang Wang.
