A touching story about traditional virtues?
Chinese virtues are gradually shining in our development and progress, so China has the reputation of "the country of etiquette". Do you know which ones? The following is what I share with you. Welcome to reading.

Hong Hao is on a tripod.

Shiyun: Hong Hao refused to surrender, but was willing to be a tripod. This is true loyalty and openness.

Hong Hao of the Southern Song Dynasty went to the State of Jin with Song Gaozong's mission. Go to the cloud * * * is now Datong, Shanxi * * *, Xu Jinguo people forced him to work in the Ministry of * * * originally from the Song Dynasty, and later he fell to Jin * * *. Hong Hao said, "Your Majesty's mission is here, and Wan Li is far away. Where can you serve the two masters?" ? It is out of the question. I can't wait to kill the rebellious Liu Yu. Where can I stand this humiliation to serve Liu Yu and steal peace? If I surrender, I'd rather go to the frying pan. "At that time, Jinjiang was so angry that he wanted to kill Hong Hao with his sword. At this time, a small school in the nomads from China said, "This man is a true loyal minister. Don't kill him. "Kneel down and ask for Hong Hao. Later, Stitch accepted the officer's request and exiled Hong Hao to Lengshan. It was not until the thirteenth year of Shaoxing * * * AD 1 143 * * * that he returned to Hangzhou.

When Hong Hao came back, Qin Gui was still in power because he had a grudge against Qin Gui. After coming back, Qin Gui spoke ill of him many times to the emperor, exiled him to the south and died in Nanxiong, Guangdong. When he was young, he was a small official like Xiuzhou Lu. When the flood came, many foods could not be distributed to the people in time. He suggested to the county magistrate that the grain in the official warehouse be distributed directly to the affected people. At that time, Xiuzhou was a war of grain transportation, and the rice had to be transported to small cities, so Hong Hao suggested to Lingshou not to transport it, but to sell it to ordinary people. At that time, the county magistrate dared not take responsibility and said, "No." Hong Hao added: "I am willing to exchange my life for the lives of 100,000 people, and I also hope that the county magistrate will distribute food to people at risk." Later, the satrap was deeply moved and saved 100 thousand lives. People were deeply impressed by him and compared him with the Buddha, who was as merciful as the Buddha and called him "Hong Fozi". Shortly after the flood, he met a thief. When the thief caught Hong's house, he knew he was his son. The thief said, "Hong Fozi can't take it." It can be seen how much people respected him at that time, and the emperor gave him a nickname "Zhong Xuan" after his death.

According to historical records, Hong Hao read many famous books. His eldest son, Shi Hong (3 years old), has a strong memory. His second son, Hong Zun, and his third son, Hong Mai, are both good readers and have the ability to read aloud. At the same time, they have both personality and writing style. Gao Zong said: "Hong Hao can be loyal to the Song Dynasty, so his descendants have such karma and are famous all over the world."

Ji Zha hangs a sword.

The poem says: Yanling, live up to his original heart, Xu Jun is dead, with a sword hanging in his grave.

Ji Zha in the Spring and Autumn Period was the son of the King of Wu. Once, when I was on a mission to Lu and passed by Xu, I went to visit Xu Jun. When Xu Jun saw Ji Zha, he was moved by his temperament and self-restraint, and he felt very cordial inside. Xu Mojun looked at Ji Zha's dignified appearance and dress. Suddenly, he was deeply attracted by a sword shining with auspicious light at his waist. In ancient times, the sword was a kind of decoration and also represented a kind of etiquette. Both officials and generals usually carry swords.

Ji Zha's sword was forged with great boldness of vision. Its exquisite conception, warm and heavy shape, inlaid with several gems, elegant and dignified. Only Yan Ji Ling deserves this sword. Although prosthodontic liked it in his heart, he was embarrassed to express it, just flashing his eyes and watching. Ji Zha saw it in his eyes and thought: When I finish my work, I must come back and give this sword to Xu Jun ... In order to complete my mission, Ji Zha can't send him for the time being.

Unexpectedly, things have changed. When Ji Zha came back from his mission, Xu Jun had already passed away. As soon as Ji Zi came to Xu Jun's grave, he felt unspeakable sadness and sadness in his heart. He looked at the desolate sky, hung his sword on the tree and prayed silently in his heart: "Although you are gone, the promise made in my heart is always there. I hope that when the spirit of heaven is looking at this tree from a distance, you still remember when I wore this long sword to say goodbye to you. " He silently bowed to the tombstone and then just turned to leave.

Ji Zha's entourage asked him doubtfully: Xu Jun has passed away. What's the use of hanging this sword here? But Ji Zha said: "I have promised in my heart from the beginning. Why do I have to carry my heart to death?" That is to say, although he has gone, my heart has promised him. Xu Jun likes this sword very much, and I want to come back and give it to him. A gentleman talks about honesty and morality. How can he betray his due faith and original intention because of his own death?

Since ancient times, sages have repeatedly taught us that lofty aspirations are always in our hearts. Just like Ji Zha, he didn't violate the ethics of being a man because of Xu Jun's death. His promise was only from the heart. This behavior of "believing" to the extreme has made future generations extremely revered and moved, which can be described as "big faith is not trustworthy".

The root of a person's success or failure comes from our inner sincerity and respect. If you can't even keep the credit you deserve, it's hard to imagine what you can achieve. Confucius said, "People without faith don't know what they can do." Without credit, it's like a car can't move. The Doctrine of the Mean says, "There is nothing dishonest." Without a sincere heart and due faith, it is difficult to achieve any career.

Language is the external expression of the mind, which is of great significance and far-reaching influence. Ceng Zi once mentioned: "It is too slow to move your face." When we are talking, it is very important what kind of feeling looks give people. It is precisely because it represents our hearts, and from our behavior Rong Zhi and the meaning of words, the other party can analyze the inner world of the speaker, so we must use words carefully.

Speech is the inner voice, and speech is the inner expression. If we want to know people's true character clearly, we must pay attention to their inner world. Good heart, good behavior, evil heart, inherently biased behavior. In this intriguing story, although Ji Zha wanted to give the sword to Xu Jun, he didn't make a verbal commitment, not to mention that Xu Jun had passed away at that time. But he kept his promise, gave up the priceless sword without hesitation, hung it on a tree and left in disappointment. And said, "I promised in my heart at the beginning. Why should I bear my heart with death?" In this context, a few words hit the floor, and the spirit of faith is indeed immortal.

: Ping Liu thief

The poem says: Ping Liu avoids chaos, thieves want to cook and beg for food, but thieves don't bully.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a man named Ping Liu helped his mother escape. One day, I went out looking for food and met a group of hungry robbers. I was just about to cook and eat. Ping Liu patted his head and said, "Now I'm going to find some wild vegetables for my mother. Let me take them back to my mother and cook them for you. " Hearing this, the robbers felt sorry for him and let him go.

Ping Liu returned home, ate the wild vegetables for his mother, and told her, "My son made an appointment with the robber to send the wild vegetables back, and I have to go back. I can't cheat them. " Then he went back to the robbers, and they were surprised! They said to each other, "I heard that there were martyrs in the past, but now I have seen them with my own eyes." Let's go, we are reluctant to eat you! " "So Ping Liu saved his life.

Keep your word, treat others sincerely, and everything in the world can be moved by it.
