Yan Zhenqing-During the "An Shi Rebellion" years, he spent all his money to fight against thieves and died at the hands of Li Xilie, our time in Huaixi.
Shi Kefa-Resisting Qing soldiers died in Yangzhou City. After the death, the Qing soldiers retaliated and slaughtered, which is often called "Yangzhou Ten Days".
Wen Tianxiang-Don't throw Yuan to death.
Yue Fei-a typical example of foolish loyalty.
Tan Sitong died for the revolution, and in order to awaken the people of China, he took the initiative to kill himself when he had the opportunity to escape.
Hou ying-repay the kindness of the bosom friend.
Jing Ke-knowing that Qin will die, he stabbed it generously.
Giving up one's life for righteousness and dying for righteousness are the basic moral principles advocated by Confucianism. I would rather sacrifice my life to realize my benevolence; I would rather give up my life than save justice.
The word "die" comes from the Analects of Confucius, which means that people with ambition and kindness sacrifice their lives not for survival, but for achievement. The original words of sacrificing one's life for righteousness come from Mencius, which means that life is what I want; Justice is also what I want to maintain. If both cannot be preserved at the same time, then I will lay down my life to preserve justice. Because although life is precious, it is something I want to save, but I can't ignore the principle, just to save my own life; I hate death, but there are some things that I hate more than death. At this time, I would rather choose death than avoid danger.
At all times and in all countries, there are many examples of sacrificing one's life for righteousness. The most typical example is Tan Sitong. He didn't escape when he could, but chose to lay down his life for righteousness, ready to use his own blood to wake the sleeping people. Really achieved "I recommend Xuanyuan with blood"! Some people say that he is ignorant. In fact, Tan Sitong's death has a lasting and far-reaching impact on future generations. As he said, it was a fair death! This is also benevolence, not the benevolence of ordinary people, but also worthy of people's respect and admiration!
Hou Ying committed suicide and Jing Ke stabbed Qin to death. These examples of sacrificing one's life for righteousness are the embodiment of this chivalrous spirit.
The so-called "noble spirit", in Mencius' view, is "qi, which is as strong as it is, and straight and harmless is stuffed between heaven and earth", which should be nourished by "righteousness" and "Tao". Mencius traveled around the world, but did not seek official positions, but did "Tao". Then came the book Mencius Will Be Wang Zhuan, which responded to the indecent call of the King of Qi and showed his arrogant personality. Mencius did not regard money as dirt, but he did not pursue money and interests. But clearly realize that "10,000 minutes will be accepted without distinguishing propriety and righteousness." What does ten thousand minutes have to do with me? " Throughout the ages, many literati were able to maintain their integrity and die for justice, even under the pressure of feudal autocracy. Look at Wen Tianxiang's song in Song Zhengqi: "If you are unlucky, you can watch them one by one. In the history of Qi Taishi Jane, in the east of Shanxi Hu Bi. Chasing in Zhang Liang, Qin, and on Emperor Wudi's Day. As the head of General Yan, he is endowed with the blood of Ji. Raise your teeth for Zhang Xun and spit your tongue for Yan Changshan. Or for Liaodong's hat and Qing dynasty. Li bingxue Or for a model, a crying hero. Or to cross the river and swallow Hu Jie generously. Still want to hit a thief, the vertical head is broken. Magnificent and everlasting. " It's really touching, but the song is lamentable! However, in today's literary world, it is not as good as "the wind of Zheng Wei", writing with body, moving with pornography, kneeling in front of money and being defeated by sugar-coated shells. Even if a few people are a little popular, they have both fame and fortune and have encountered all kinds of embarrassment. Their fall is embarrassing and makes people cry.
