1. The friendship between Chu and Jiu

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a poor and studious scholar named Gongshamu. After studying hard for a period of time, I always felt that what I had learned was limited and wanted to enter the Imperial College in the capital to continue my studies. Gongshamu's family was poor and he did not have much money to pay for his studies at Imperial College. So Gongshamu went to work as a rice pounder in a wealthy family named Wu You.

Wu You once served as prime minister of Qi, chief historian and other official positions. One day, Gong Shamu was pounding rice, and Wu You came to him. Wu You saw that Gong Shamu behaved politely and did not look like a rough worker at all, so he started chatting with him.

During the conversation, Wu You found that Gongshamu was knowledgeable and insightful. Regardless of the wealth gap between them, Wu You became friends with him in front of the pestle and mortar. In feudal society, there were differences between rich and poor counties, and the hierarchy was strict. It is a rare thing for a rich man to condescend to make friends with a poor scholar, so it has become a legend.

2. Irreconcilable friends

During the Warring States Period, the philosopher Zhuangzi talked about the conversation between four people, Zisi, Zixing, Zili, and Zilai, and said: "Who can think of nothing as his mind? With You as your back and Death as your butt, you can become friends if you know that life and death are one." The four of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling that they had nothing to do with each other, so they became good friends.

3. The relationship between life and death. The story of friendship

The poet Zheng Shaogu and Wang Ziheng are thousands of miles apart and have never met, but they admire each other and cheat each other. Zheng Shaogu once wrote a poem praising Wang Ziheng: "When Wang Ziheng talks about poetry in the world, the spring breeze will spread all over Lu." This means that when Wang Ziheng talks about poetry, even the disciples of Confucius in Lu will feel like the spring breeze.

4. Later, Zheng Shaogu died. Wang Ziheng was shocked to hear the bad news and was extremely sad. He rushed to Fujian despite traveling thousands of miles to attend to his funeral and comfort his relatives. ?

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a poor and studious scholar named Gongshamu. After studying hard for a period of time, I felt that what I had learned was limited and wanted to enter the Imperial College in the capital to continue my studies. However, Gong Shamu's family was poor and did not have enough money for him to enter Imperial College. So he went to work as a rice pounder in a wealthy family. This wealthy man is named Wu You, who once held official positions such as Prime Minister of Qi and Chief History.

One day, Gongshamu was pounding rice, and Wu You came to him. Seeing that Gongshamu behaved politely and not like a rough worker, he started chatting with him. During the conversation, Wu You found that Gong Shamu was knowledgeable and had great insights into things. Regardless of the wealth gap between them, Wu You became friends with him in front of the pestle and mortar.

5. During the Warring States Period, the philosopher Zhuangzi talked about the conversation between four people, Zisi, Zixing, Zili, and Zilai: "Who can use inaction as his head, existence as his back, and death as his buttocks? Knowing that life and death are one, we can become friends." The four of them looked at each other and smiled. They felt that they could not go against each other, so they became good friends.
