Oumu

Ouyang Xiu (1007- 1072) was a famous writer and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty. His father died when he was 4 years old, and he grew up with his widowed mother.

Ouyang Xiu's father is a local official, honest and hospitable. When he was alive, his family was large and his economy was well off. After his death, his family gradually became poor, and later there was no room or ridge on the ground. It is conceivable that orphans and widows live in such a situation.

Ouyang Xiu's mother is a strong-willed person. Her family is not poor, and she works hard on her own and raises her children wholeheartedly. When Ouyang Xiu was five or six years old, his mother taught him to read and write, and taught him the truth of being a man. Having no money to buy pens and paper, he used reed stalks instead, spread the sand on the ground into paper and taught Ouyang Xiu to write one by one.

Ouyang Xiu, who is one year older, is becoming more and more sensible. He is considerate of his mother and tries his best to share the housework while reading. Although Ouyang Xiu is sensible, he doesn't understand how his mother has such great determination and strength to raise herself.

On one occasion, Ouyang Xiu asked about it. Mother said affectionately, "After your father died, I was able to be widowed and lonely because I knew your father's noble character. I love him and you, and I am determined to train you to be like your father. For you, I can eat no matter how hard I suffer. " Later, she told Ouyang Xiu about her life and her father. "When I married Ouyang's family, your grandmother had passed away. However, I know from your father's memory of your grandmother that he is a good man who respects his elders very much. Your father respects the old and loves the young at home, and is an official outside. He is serious in business and never careless. He works during the day, reads official documents and case materials at night, and often stays up late. The materials of the death penalty are always subject to repeated investigation and verification. He often said that life is a matter of life, so we should not be careless. Later, due to overwork and overwork, he knew that he was dying and said to me,' I can't watch my children grow up. I hope you will tell my children in the future: people should not be greedy for money, don't pursue too much in life, be filial to their elders and have a kind heart.' These are your father's last words. Please encourage yourself. "Ouyang Xiu sobbed and said to his mother," I must carry on my father's legacy and be a noble person. "

Later, Ouyang Xiu became an official and served as a consultant in political affairs. For three years, Li Qing was demoted for actively supporting Fan Zhongyan and defending the new law. Ouyang Xiu's mother said: "Being demoted for justice cannot be said to be disgraceful. Our family is used to poverty. As long as you have no burden in your heart and keep your spirit, I will be happy. "

mother-in-law

Mrs Yao Tai is the mother of Yue Fei, an anti-gold hero in the Southern Song Dynasty. As a model of mother education and women, she encouraged her son to join the army and serve the country faithfully when the country was in danger, which was passed down as a much-told story.

When Yue Fei was fifteen or sixteen years old, the Jin people from the north invaded the south, and those in power in the Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, and the country was at a critical juncture. Yue Fei joined the army to fight against Liao. Soon after, due to the loss of his father, he retired and returned to his hometown to observe filial piety.

1 126 years, nomads from the central plains invaded on a large scale, and Yue Fei joined the army again. Before leaving, Mrs Yao called Yue Fei to her side and said, "What are your plans now?"

"Go to the front line to kill the enemy and be loyal to the country!"

Mrs Yao is satisfied with her son's answer. "Serving the country faithfully" is a mother's hope for her son. She decided to tattoo these four words on her son's back and let him remember them forever.

Yue Fei unbuttoned her coat, revealing her thin back and letting her mother take the needle.

Mrs. Yao asked, "Son, acupuncture is very painful. Are you afraid? "

Yue Fei said, "Mom, a small steel needle is nothing. If you are afraid of needles, how can you go to the front to fight! "

Mrs Yao wrote on Yue Fei's back first, and then embroidered it with embroidery. After the stabbing, my mother-in-law drew it in vinegar ink. Since then, the word "loyalty to the country" on Yue Fei's back has never faded. Mother's encouragement inspired Yue Fei. After Yue Fei joined the army, he was quickly promoted to Bing Yilang for his bravery in combat. At this point, Kaifeng in the capital of song dynasty was besieged by 8 Jin Army. Yue Fei and Zong Ze, deputy marshal, went to the rescue together and defeated the 8 Jin Army many times. He was appreciated by Zong Ze and praised him for his "wisdom and talent, which ancient generals could not surpass". Later, he became a famous hero against gold and was admired by people of all ages.

Tao Kan's mother, Chen (243-3 18), was born in Gulaozhou, now Poyang County, Jiangxi Province. She was one of the four great wives in ancient China. Tao Mu set an example, and the story of raising children to become talents has been celebrated through the ages. Here are two things about her parenting.

Truncated Yan Bin

Tao Kan is a lonely child with a poor family. Tao Mu endured humiliation and made a living by spinning linen and weaving, and supported Tao Kan to study. Tao Mu often tells his son that "making friends is more important than himself". Make friends, make friends with people who are better than yourself. ) The ancient book contains: Fan Kui, who is famous in the same county, praised his filial piety and stayed at home. When the ice and snow piled up, the chat room was empty, with soldiers, horses and servants. Kanmu Kan said in Chen Shi's language, "If you stay abroad, I will handle it myself." Chen's hair is on the ground, and the next one is two beards. It sells a few tons of rice, and the pillars at home are all cut and half paid, so I recommend him to be a horse skin. In the evening, it is fine food again, and there are no followers. Knowing what Chen had done, Wei Xiao was deeply ashamed of his talent and said, "If it weren't for this mother, this child wouldn't have been born." Wei Xiao went to Luoyang, so he was called Yang Fang, et al. He had a good reputation. Tao Mu stopped the guests, recommended them to feed the horses, and discussed them in the village, thinking that they were virtuous. In order to show off this virtuous mother, the government specially set up a square for Tao Mu's residence, named Yan Bin Square, and the bridge next to the house is Dehua Bridge. After learning about Raozhou, Fan Zhongyan of Beining ordered a huge monument to the former site of Yan Bin Square to be erected at the bridgehead of Dehua for people to pay tribute to, so as to publicize Tao Mu's deeds of "intercepting Yan Bin".

Seal the altar and return the fish.

Tao Kan was a junior official in charge of fishery production in Xunyang when he was young. When teenagers go out, remember their mother's teachings. Tao Kan is conscientious, devoted to his duties, and kind to others, which is quite popular. Once, his subordinates saw that he was having a hard time, so they brought him an altar of bad fish from the pickled fish shop to eat. Tao Kan, a filial mother, always eats bad fish, so she took advantage of her colleague's business trip in Poyang to give her peace of mind with a message from this jar of bad fish.

When Tao Mu received the token, he was very satisfied with Kan's filial piety. So he casually asked the token giver, "How much does it cost in Xunyang?" The guest didn't understand the meaning and boasted, "Hey, does this bad fish need to be bought?" Go to the workshop below and get it. Aunt likes it very much. I'll bring you more altars next time. "TaoMu hearing this, the mood suddenly changed, happy, and worried. She sealed the mouth of the broken fish jar again and asked the guests to take the fish back to Tao Kan with a letter from her son. There are harsh words in this book. The book says, "You are an official. It is not only unprofitable to reward you with official things, but also increases my worries. "

Tao Kan felt very guilty when he received the responsibility letter from the bad fish and his mother. She was deeply disappointed with her mother's teaching and vowed not to do anything that worried her mother. Since then, Tao Kan has been an honest official, with a clear distinction between public and private. Until his retirement in his later years, he meticulously personally kept the general's ceremonial ceremonies and warehouses and handed them over to the people bit by bit. Tao Kan's achievements in life are saturated with Tao Muchen's words and deeds. Help others for free.
