The story of the ancient Xun Jubo's friendship

The word "righteousness" comes first, which is the true character of a man. Reviewing the book "Ming Dian" written by Gao Lian (Ming Dynasty), I read this story in his "Gao Zi's Theory of Friendship":

Jubo Xun had a friend from afar who was seriously ill, and he went to visit him. he. At that time, thieves were attacking this place. So, Jubo Xun's friend who was ill said to Jubo Xun, "I'm about to die. You can go back!" Jubo said, "I came from afar to visit you. Now that you are in trouble, I will leave you." , How could Ju Bo think like this?" In an instant, the thieves quickly reached Ju Bo's friend's residence. The arriving thief said to Ju Bo: "When the army came here, they found that everyone in this place was gone. Who are you to stay here alone?" Ju Bo replied: "My friend is sick. I can't bear to abandon him. Now I would rather trade my body for my friend's life." Hu Thief was surprised when he heard what Ju Bo said. After a while, the leader of the barbarian thieves gathered all his companions and said: "We are unjust people, but we have invaded a country of righteousness." So they stopped and retreated to their own country. In this way, the place where Jubo's friends were was preserved.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was Wang Zhenbai, who once gave Guan Xiu his satirical poem "Yugou" (the royal sewer was called Yugou) to read. The poem says: One group controls the ditch water, and the green locust trees are shady and green. This wave covers the emperor's lake, and there is nowhere to dust it.

Guan Xiu was a monk. He was good at writing poems and painting. He was good at poetry and painting. But he is honest and straightforward. Pointing to the poem, he said: "Although your poem is good, it is not perfect. You need to change one word to give the poem its "flavor"." When Wang Zhenbai heard this, he was suspicious. Or was he arrogant? Originally, I just wanted to hear you praise me for a moment, and let me feel proud of myself first, but this monk immediately said, "I want to change the wording"! What a complacent poem, but you still have to change the words? My head is hot and my heart is blocked. I just flick my sleeves and leave.

What Monk Guanxiu thought was that Wang Zhenbai was a talented person and must have a broad mind. Just now, he just left on impulse; and he is quick-thinking, he will come back after thinking about it. Just write the words he wants to change in his left hand first. Sure enough, Wang Zhenbai, who was not very good at martial arts, came back. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "This contains Emperor Ze". Guan Xiu raised the palm of his left hand and said, "Look, it's the word '中'." The two of them laughed heartily. Just because there is emperor's urine and other things in the royal sewers. As a result, the two became good friends who talked about poetry and essays.

Bai Juyi was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. When he first came to Chang'an, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old and had little fame. When he met with Gu Kuang, the senior official in charge of creation, Gu Chujian asked: "Is your name Bai Juyi?" "Yes." A young man with a fair face stood in the hall and he respectfully agreed. Gu Kuang joked: "Now Chang'an Mi Zhenggui, if you want to stay here for a long time, it's not easy." While reading the poem manuscript submitted by Bai Juyi, when he read the poem "Fu De Gu Yuan Farewell", his expression became solemn and he saw that "the wild fire will not burn out, but the spring breeze will blow again." 'I couldn't help but praise the first couplet: "If you can write such a good poem, why come to live in Chang'an?"

From now on this poem

"Li Liyuan" The grass dries up every year. The wild fire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows and grows again. >

This five-character poem "Farewell to Gu Yuan" became Bai Juyi's stepping stone and masterpiece. It was like a pop song that spread out among the people in Chang'an Avenue and caused a sensation in the capital. Therefore, Bai Juyi's residence became a citizen's house, and his life became easier. Bai Xingjian himself also became famous in the literary world for the first time
