Loyalty and filial piety: In the Three Kingdoms, Meng Zong cried for bamboo shoots, and he had a dutiful son named Meng. He lost his father when he was a child and his family was poor. Mother and son live together. When she grew up, her mother was old and sick. Whatever his mother wants to eat, he tries his best to satisfy her. One day, my mother was very ill and wanted to eat bamboo shoots to make soup, but it was winter and it was snowing heavily. Where do bamboo shoots come from? He was helpless and couldn't think of any good way, so he ran to the bamboo forest and cried bitterly. I cried for a long time, but I felt hot all over and the wind was very hot. When he opened his eyes, the surrounding snow and ice melted and the vegetation changed from dry to green. Then he looked carefully and found that there were many bamboo shoots around him. His filial piety touched the world. He let his mother eat bamboo shoots, and she recovered. Wang Xiang was born in Linyi (now Feidong, Shandong Province) in Jin Dynasty. His stepmother Zhu treated him badly when he lost his mother in his early years, and he was still very filial. One winter, Zhu was ill and wanted to eat fish. He came to the edge of the glacier to unbutton his clothes, bare his chest, and lay on the ice to melt the ice with his body temperature. At this time, two big red carp jumped out of the defective mouth on the ice. Wang Xiang took the fish home and made delicious fish soup for his stepmother. Zhu was very moved, and the family lived happily ever after. Courage: Sima Guang, who was calm in a crisis, played with a group of children when he was a child. Suddenly, one child fell into the water tank, and all the other children ran away in fear. Only Sima Guang was very calm. He picked up a stone and smashed the water tank. The water flowed out and Sima Guang's friend was saved. Jing Ke, the king of Qin who was stabbed to death by Jing Ke, was a famous assassin. He is good at fencing, and his martial arts are very high, so he is appreciated by Taizi Dan. When Qin Jun approached the State of Yan, Taizi Dan ordered Jing Ke to assassinate Qin Shihuang. Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang set out with the head of Fan, a rebel of Qin State, and a map of Du Kang (now Zhuoxian and Gu 'an in Hebei Province), passing through Yishui, and generously lamented: "The wind is rustling, the water is cooled, and the strong men are gone forever!" "In Xianyang, I got an interview with Qin Shihuang with a lot of money. Unexpectedly, when Qin Wuyang saw the king of Qin, he turned pale with fear. Fortunately, Jing Ke laughed and took the map from Qin and presented it to Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang opened the map and suddenly saw a sharp dagger. Jing Ke took Qin Shihuang's sleeve in his left hand, picked up the dagger in his right hand and stabbed him. Qin Shihuang tore off his sleeve, jumped up and hurried around the post. Jing Ke gave chase. At this critical juncture, the physician Xia Wuqie stabbed Jing Ke with a medicine bag, and Qin Shihuang took the opportunity to draw his sword and cut off Jing Ke's left leg. Jing Ke fell to the ground, picked up the dagger and threw it at Qin Shihuang. As a result, the dagger hit the copper pillar. Finally, Jing Ke was killed by Qin Shihuang's guards. Kindness: The generous and kind Chu Zhuangwang Chu Zhuangwang once gave a banquet for his ministers. Everyone was very drunk, and many people were drunk. When the candles in the hall were blown out by the wind, someone pulled the princess's clothes. The princess then pulled off the tassel on the man's crown and said to Chu Zhuangwang, "Now the candle is out, someone is pulling my clothes, and I also pulled off the tassel on his crown. Just light the candle with fire and you can see whose crown is missing. Chu Zhuangwang immediately ordered, "If you drink with me and don't take off your crown, you won't be happy." So hundreds of people present took off their crowns. Chu Zhuangwang just lit a candle and was still drinking with his ministers. Later, Wu mobilized troops to attack Chu. There was a man in the state of Chu who often took the lead and fought five battles before repelling the enemy until he got the head of the enemy general and gave it to the king of Chu. Chu Zhuangwang was surprised and asked him, "I have never been kind to you. Why are you so kind to me? "The man replied," I am the one who lost his crown and tassel in the hall before. "It turned out that he was rude because he was drunk, but Chu Zhuangwang was very tolerant and didn't care. He always kept it in mind, so he fought back to repay Chu Zhuangwang's forgiveness. Chu Zhuangwang was generous and considerate, regardless of other people's faults, and finally made great achievements, becoming one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period.
