Grandpa Zhu Xi, do you know? I saw this scene on a bus: It was one morning, and a classmate was sitting On a seat. At this time, an old man who was over 60 years old came up. Since there were no seats around, he had to stand. When the little classmate saw this scene, he quickly stepped forward to support the old man and asked him to sit in his seat. The old man said, "You better sit by yourself. It doesn't matter if I stand." The little classmate said sincerely: "No, you are old and it is inconvenient to stand, so you should sit down!

Model Essay 2: Zhu Xi’s Culture
In that era of wars and national turmoil, Zhu Xi was born, a thinker who influenced the entire second half of feudal society.
Zhu Xi not only has outstanding literary talent, but also has good eloquence. His intelligence is as quick as Ji Xiaolan and Liu Yong.
There are countless people who are good at speaking out, but the vast majority of them are doing it for their own benefit, either seeking official positions or seeking wealth. However, there are very few people who can be "eloquent" in front of the emperor for the benefit of the people, regardless of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor and risking death. Zhu Xi can be counted as one.
As we all know, Zhu Xi had a bumpy career: when he first entered politics, he was very "ignorant of current affairs" and dared to openly "contradict" Qin Hui and others who advocated reducing gold as a "junior", without paying any attention to the idea of ??"knowing current affairs". A "philosophy of life" such as "the one who is the best". Before meeting the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xileng was so anxious that he resigned and went home, giving up his job. A few years later, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty died suddenly and drove westward. Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne and issued an edict asking for outspokenness. Now Zhu Xi was finally able to put his full passion and anger into writing and speak out his advice without giving any sharp words a hint of embarrassment. Layer cream. Fortunately, Song Xiaozong had Li Shimin's mind. He was very moved after reading it and personally summoned him to listen to his opinions. However, although Song Xiaozong had Li Shimin's mind, he did not have Li Shimin's brains. He listened to the villain's slander, but Zhu Xi was still not reused, so he resigned and went home again. After several resignation farces, he was inexplicably labeled as a "villain"; after that, there was no movement.
Although his official career was bumpy, Zhu Xi also had his moments of glory. During the reign of Ningzong, Zhu Xi served as a minister. His rich knowledge and eloquence impressed many civil and military officials, and even the emperor was his fan. The emperor also often chatted with him. Once, when Zhu Xi talked about his hometown, he was so excited that he mobilized all his brain cells to talk about Youxi. The emperor was so elated and his head was hot that he decided to go to Youxi on the spot. Originally, the emperor's personal visit was a good thing for his hometown, but fortunately Zhu Xi was a rational person. He immediately changed his mind and said mentally: The emperor went out to mobilize troops, waste people and money, and the people must suffer. Isn't this right? Are you putting a burden on your hometown? At this time, Zhu Xi came up with a plan and urged the emperor not to go to Youxi, arguing that the mountains were high and the rivers were dangerous, making it difficult for carriages and horses to travel. The emperor was unwilling to give in and insisted on asking: Why is it so dangerous? Zhu Xi said that entering Youxi from the east road must pass through a place called "Ma Ciao Ridge" - even the "horses" are "crying", which shows how dangerous it is. . In fact, there is indeed this ridge, but it is called "hooves" instead of "crow" - "horseshoe ridge" is obviously the foot of a horse, but Zhu Xi said it was the cry of a horse. The emperor still believed it, but he was not reconciled: "How about taking the west road?" Zhu Xi said: The west road has to pass through the 'bone and intestines', with high mountains and deep forests, where poisonous snakes and beasts are infested... and other words, which frightened the emperor again - " "Strangle the bones and draw the intestines", he was cruel when he heard it, and immediately gave up the emperor's idea - of course, Zhu Xi deliberately said the wrong thing again, saying "the deer antlers and Liutang" as "stretch the bones and draw the intestines", adding fuel to the fire, and deliberately making things mysterious. At the risk of committing the crime of deceiving the emperor, the people of Youxi were saved from disaster.
Another time, when the emperor was chatting with Zhu Xi, he asked about the life of the people in Youxi. Of course, in front of the emperor, he would naturally say, "The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people's lives are stable. Who would have thought that the emperor would "give" Zhu Xi a trip to his hometown and bring back some Youxi specialties. Zhu Xi should be rational. At this time, he thought What he wanted was not to please the emperor, but to think that the emperor wanted all the good things. If he really offered special products and was favored by the emperor, he would not be able to pay tribute every year. It was the people who suffered. Zhu Xi thought quickly and soon had another idea. After returning to the capital, Zhu Xi presented not kumquat, green bamboo shoots and mushrooms, but a tung seed and told the emperor that it was Youxi's snow pear. The snow pears are very similar, but the taste is far different. The emperor was furious, and Zhu Xi immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "Long live the anger, how dare Wei Chen deceive the emperor? Wei Chen's hometown is growing this kind of pears, and the people of Li are eating them." It’s this kind of pear, long live for me to eat it!” The “acting” was lifelike, and he was an “actor” at first glance. After being approved, Zhu Xi ate the pear with relish.
When the emperor saw this, he thought that he had eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas. The poor people who had not enough to eat naturally thought that this unpalatable food was delicious, so his anger gradually subsided. He asked Zhu Xi if he had anything else. Zhu Xi repeated his old trick and offered small bamboos with roots and leaves and moso bamboo leaves. The emperor looked at it and said, "That's all. Youxi is so poor, so the mountain tax will be waived in the future." This incident reminded me of a certain county in our province that was so poor that it only had money, but still cried out about poverty, and got The financial allocation from above is actually similar to this story. It's just that some people lie to enrich their own pockets, but Zhu Xi's lies benefited the country and the people, and did a great thing for the people of Youxi.
When true is false, false is also true, and when false is true, true is also false. The true and the false, the false and the true, the iron teeth and the copper teeth, Zhu Xi’s lips and teeth are fragrant because of his consideration for the people’s sentiments, and the fragrance will last for thousands of years! Model Essay 3: Zhu Xi’s Culture
Every tradition that has been passed down has it Reason for existence - inscription
In ancient times, the family was the world, and the world was the home. Thousands of years ago, we were a "state of etiquette" in the world. The state was the country, and the country was the home. For thousands of years, we have inherited our family traditions.
The true family tradition begins with Confucius and Mencius. In ancient times, we governed the country with propriety and Confucianism and Taoism were common in the world. Therefore, the Four Books and Five Classics have been passed down to the world. The Analects of Confucius advocates that people should have filial piety, righteousness, benevolence, and loyalty. The first word is filial piety, which is the core meaning of family tradition. Looking at it now, why not? After ten months of pregnancy and twenty years of care, we need the company of our parents at all times, and how can we repay this kindness of upbringing? It is common sense and the manifestation of human nature.
The opening chapter of "Disciples' Regulations" reads: "Disciples' Regulations are the teachings of sages. The first is filial piety and brotherhood, the second is trustworthiness, universal love for all, and kindness. If you have enough energy, study literature." The way of benevolence and etiquette is Be sincere to your friends and be kind to strangers. Many parents have said: "Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends outside." People should be honest with each other, not false, and not pretentious. "Making friends, don't you believe it?" So, we become friends with strangers, Life becomes more harmonious. The reason why Shanxi merchants were so rich at that time was because they made many friends, were honest, and upheld morality. As Shanxi people, we should practice this ancient and simple family tradition of integrity, benevolence, and righteousness.
"Zhu Xi's Family Instructions" writes: Don't forget the hardships of your ancestors in starting a business, don't be extravagant and licentious, and don't squander your foundation. Diligence and thrift are our traditional virtues. Our parents have taught us since we were children that we should not have leftovers, not waste, and abstain from extravagance and be frugal, so that we can accumulate millions of wealth.
Be an honest person and do not accept unjust gain. We should be human first and then do things. The ancients had a clear mind, but in today's materialistic society, we should not be blinded by money. Getting it in the right way and making money in the right way is what we want.
Family tradition is actually our tradition, which incorporates the spirit of Chinese civilization and is a direct expression of traditional culture. It is in this way that we pass on culture and civilization. In practice from generation to generation, we have improved and discarded, so that our nation, society, and country will not lose their original connotation and develop steadily, and continue to spread the thousands-year-old Yanhuang Chinese civilization.
Family traditions and traditions have traveled through the long river of history, through the smoke and dust of time and space, and arrived at the present with the ancient will. ——Postscript
