Ceng Zi's wife walked into the street, followed by his son, crying to leave. Ceng Zi's wife had no choice but to say to her son, "Go home. I came back from the street to kill pigs for you. " ?
As soon as Ceng Zi's wife came back from the street, Ceng Zi was ready to catch the pig and kill it. His wife discouraged him and said, "I said that killing pigs was just to coax children, but it was just a joke." Ceng Zi said, "Children can't play with him.
Children are not sensible, and all knowledge needs to be learned from their parents and taught by them. Now if you cajole him, you are teaching your child to cajole others.
If the mother coaxes the child, the child will not believe her. This is not the way to educate children to be gentlemen. "Say that finish, Ceng Zi killed the pig for the children to eat.
2. Song Lian
Song Lian was a learned man in the Ming Dynasty. He loved reading since he was a child, but his family was poor, he couldn't afford to go to school, and he didn't have the money to buy books, so he had to borrow them from others. Every time he borrows a book, he agrees on a deadline, returns it on time, and never breaks the contract. People are willing to lend them to him.
Once, he borrowed a book, and the more he read it, the more he couldn't put it down, so he decided to copy it. But the deadline for returning the book is coming. He had to copy books overnight. It's the middle of winter and the twelfth month, dripping into ice. His mother said, "Son, it's midnight. It's cold. Copy it at dawn. People are not waiting for this book to read. "
Song Lian said, "No matter how many people are waiting to read this book, it must be returned before the deadline. This is a question of credit and a sign of respect for others. If you are dishonest in what you say and do, how can you get the respect of others? "
3. Su Qin
(Su Qin) wrote ten letters to the king of Qin, but failed. Now his mink coat is worn out, and he spent one hundred and twenty gold. Lack of money and living expenses forced him to leave Qin and go home. Wrapped in leggings, wearing sandals, carrying a schoolbag, looking haggard.
His face was black and yellow with a look of shame. When he got home, his wife didn't come down from the loom to meet him, his sister-in-law didn't cook for him, and his parents didn't talk to him. Su Qin saw this situation and sighed, "My wife doesn't treat me like a husband, and my sister-in-law doesn't treat me like a brother-in-law.
My parents don't regard me as a son. It's all my Su Qin's fault! "So he opened his books in the evening (studying), spread out dozens of books to find Jiang Taigong's art book" Yin Fu ",read it on his desk, select important familiar ones and explore its true meaning.
He wanted to sleep when he was studying, so he picked up an awl and stabbed himself in the thigh, bleeding to his feet. He said: "Where can someone lobby the monarch but not let him give him gold, good name, and other high-ranking officials?" After a year's work, the research was successful.
He said to himself, "Now I can really lobby the kings of all countries." So Su Qin visited and lobbied the Prince of Zhao in the magnificent palace. Intimate conversation, Wang Zhao was very happy, named him Wu Anjun, awarded him Xiangyin, and then gave him 100 gorgeous thousand chariots.
One hundred pairs of white walls and two thousand gold coins. Lian Heng was separated to suppress the powerful Qin State, so Su Qin was in Zhao State and Hangu Pass was blocked (Qin State dared not send troops to Hangu Pass).
4. Shang Yang
During the Warring States Period, Shang Yang was preparing to reform the State of Qin. Afraid that the people would not believe him, he ordered people to erect a 30-foot-high wooden pillar in front of a city gate in Beijing, and posted notices everywhere: "Whoever can move the wooden pillar in front of the city gate, the court will reward him with fifty taels of gold."
After seeing the notice, people began to talk about it. Everyone suspected that this was a deceptive move, but a strong man with big arms and a round waist said, "I'll try!" I'll move the wood from the gate. If the government rewards money, it shows that they still keep their word.
Let's listen to them later; If you don't reward them, they are fooling the people. No matter what they say in the future, we don't believe them any more. "Say came to the front door to move wood. When Shang Yang heard the news, he immediately ordered the man to be rewarded with fifty gold.
The strong man couldn't help laughing when he saw that he had really won fifty gold medals. While showing off the fifty gold medals, he said to the onlookers, "It seems that the government still keeps its word!" The matter spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the state of Qin, and Shang Yang ordered the political reform.
5. Shi Yang
When Shi Yang was a teenager, he was smart, studious and good at poetry, so he was called a "child prodigy". At the age of 29, he went to Yingchang, Henan Province, and took Cheng Hao as his teacher. He is diligent and studious, and his academic performance is excellent. He is also known as a human being with You Zuo, Xie.
Later, when Shi Yang returned from his studies, Cheng Hao looked at him and said with emotion, "My road is south." After his death, he went north again and studied under Cheng Hao's younger brother Cheng Yi. He not only studies hard, but also respects his teacher very much.
Once I visited Cheng Yi with Youzuo, and saw the teacher dozing off in the hall. I couldn't bear to be disturbed, so I stood quietly under the porch and waited. At this time, the sky is full of heavy snow. When Cheng Yi woke up, the snow outside was already thick.
