What is honesty? Where does the root cause come from? What is the integrity of the Chinese nation?

The so-called "integrity" refers to the quality of not giving in to the enemy or difficult pressure for one's own ideals and beliefs and justice.

The Chinese nation has always attached importance to honesty. For thousands of years, many people with lofty ideals and national heroes who stress morality and integrity have emerged. The story of "five buckets of rice don't bend over" and "eat whatever you have" has become a household name. For example, the "Meng Tai Spirit" of running a diligent enterprise would rather live 20 years less, and strive for the "Iron Man Spirit" of the big oil fields, the "Lei Feng Spirit" of serving the people wholeheartedly and the spirit of being a public servant of the people.

I didn't find the source, only in an article introducing Xie Zhending, there was such a sentence: "Negative academics, but integrity."

Yue Fei [Song] (1103 ~1142)

Ju Peng, a native of Tangyin, Xiangzhou, Henan Province, was a great star in the Song Dynasty. The mother is the most filial and the family is poor. His mother tattooed the words "faithfully serve the country" on his back, and Yue Fei took this as the criterion of life. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the draft was transferred to Zong Ze's command, and the nomadic people were defeated repeatedly. Song Gaozong wrote the word "Zhong Yuefei" in calligraphy and set up a flag to give it. He also defeated Li Cheng, leveled Liu Yu, beheaded Yang Yao, tired officials to Qiu Wei, granted less insurance, and recruited envoys from all walks of life in northern Henan.

In 1 129, Jin Wushu crossed the river and conquered Jiankang. Yue Fei persisted in resisting. The following year, in Yancheng, the "kidnapper" of Jiankang was recovered, and Zhengzhou and Luoyang were recovered. Rebels from two rivers (Huaihe River and Yellow River) responded continuously, hoping to re-enter Zhuxian Town, cherish the efforts of Premier Qin Gui and make peace.

The army led by Yue Fei is called "Yue Jiajun", and Jin Bing is very afraid of "Yue Jiajun". It is said that it is easier to shake the mountain than the Yue family army.

1 162, when Song Xiaozong was reinstated, Wu Mu was killed, Ning Zongshi was posthumously named King of Hubei, posthumously named as a loyal minister, and there was Yue Wumu Collection.

wen tianxiang

Wen Tianxiang (1236- 1283), formerly known as Sun Yun, was born in Wenshan, Luling, Jizhou (now Ji 'an County). He was an outstanding national hero and patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Baoyu (1256), he won the top prize, but he was unable to become an official because of his father's death. Eunuch Dong asked to move the capital to avoid the enemy's front. In order to inspire people, Wen Tianxiang offered a plan to defend against the enemy and asked Dong to behead him, which was not adopted. Later, he served as Langguan and Zhizhou in the punishments department. In the sixth year of Xian Chun (1270), he was dismissed for offending the traitor Jia Sidao. Deyou (1275) heard about it in the first month. It was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty). The following year, he was appointed Prime Minister Right and envoy of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Yuan army had advanced on Lin 'an, was sent to Yuan Ying for negotiations, was detained and taken to the north. At the end of February, Tianxiang and his guest Du Hu and others 12 died in Zhou Zhen at night. Then he went south to Fujian by sea, joined Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu, and persisted in resisting Yuan. Jing Yan joined the army for two years (1277). Defeated by Yuan Zhongbing, his wife and children were held hostage, and the soldiers sacrificed a lot. Tian Xiang escaped alone, so he retreated to Guangdong and continued to resist Yuan. Later, because of the traitor's attack, he was captured in Wupoling (now Haifeng County, Guangdong Province) in December of the same year. Forcing Zhang Hongfan to surrender to Zhang Shijie by Yuan is a poem in the book Zero Crossing. At the end of the sentence, he said, "No one has died since ancient times, leaving Dan Xin in charge of his sweat." After four years in prison, he endured all kinds of severe tests and never gave in. He died peacefully on 1283 at the age of 47. Wen Tianxiang wrote a large number of poems, words and essays, including more than one poem 100, which made great achievements, including The Complete Works of Mr. Wenshan, among which Crossing the Zero Ding Yang and Yi Ge Xing are timeless.

Su Wu

Su Wu (140 ~ 60 BC), whose real name was Qing Zi. Ling Du (now in the middle and west of Xi, Shaanxi) was a famous man of loyalty in the Western Han Dynasty. Father Su Jian, who followed the famous Wei Qing to attack Xiongnu many times in the north, later served as the magistrate of Dai Jun. The bureaucratic system at that time stipulated that if the father was an official, the son could first enter the official rank from a lower rank. Su Wu is also a LangGuan first, and then gradually promoted. In the first year of the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, in 100 BC, he was ordered to send an envoy to Xiongnu as a corps commander. Because King Gou Jian of Xiongnu plotted to kidnap Khan's mother, E Shi, and submit to the Han Dynasty, John Zhang, the messenger of the Han Dynasty, was also involved, and Su Wu was also implicated.

In order to force Su Wu to surrender, Xiongnu Khan initially locked him in the cellar. Su Wu was so hungry that he ate snow and Mao Weisheng, but he never surrendered. Khan took him to the North Sea (now Lake Baikal in the Soviet Union), and Su Wu was even more unmoved. He still holds Jeff of the Han Dynasty, herding sheep for a living, showing tenacious perseverance and unyielding integrity. Later, after Zhao Di ascended the throne, the Han Dynasty married the Huns and asked them to return Su Wu and other envoys, but Khan lied that Su Wu and others were dead.

Later, when the envoys of the Han Dynasty came to the Xiongnu area, they finally learned that Su Wu was still alive, so they threatened that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had shot a wild goose in Shanglinyuan, with silk on its feet, and made it clear that Su Wu was in the swamp in the north. Khan had to return Su Wu and other nine people.

Su Wu stayed in Xiongnu for a long time, with 19 years.

In the sixth year of Zhao Di's reign, that is, 8 1 year BC, Su Wu finally returned to Chang 'an. The following year, Shangguan Jie, Shangguan 'an and Sang Hongyang were charged with rebellion. Su Wu has a good relationship with Shangguan and Sang Hongyang, and his son is also involved. Su Wu was removed from office. After the death of Emperor Zhao, Su Wu was appointed as the Commissioner of Customs for his participation in the establishment of Xuan Di.

Chu was an outstanding politician and patriotic poet at the end of the Warring States Period. His name is Ping, the word Ziyuan, and he is a descendant of Qu Xian, the son of Xiong Tong, from Danyang (now Zigui, Hubei).

Qu Yuan was the first great patriotic poet in China. He initiated a new era of poetry from collective singing to individual independent writing. He is the founder of China's positive romantic poetry tradition, and one of the "four famous people in world culture" (Copernicus in Poland, Shakespeare in Britain and Dante in Italy).

Qu Yuan experienced three periods in his life: Chu Weiwang, Chu Huaiwang and King Xiang of Qing Dynasty, and his main activities were in the period of Chu Huaiwang. This period is the eve of China's imminent reunification. "Qin Shihuang is horizontal, and the king of Chu is vertical." Qu Yuan was born in a noble family and was good at dealing with chaos, so he was favored by Chu Huaiwang in his early years and was a leftist. In order to realize the great cause of reunifying Chu, Dr. San Lv actively assisted Chu Huaiwang in reforming the country. At one time, there was a situation in Chu that the country was rich and the people were strong, and the princes were hard to hope for. However, due to the sharp contradiction between Qu Yuan and the decadent aristocratic group of Chu State in internal affairs and diplomacy, as well as the jealousy of Shangguan doctor and others, Qu Yuan was later framed by a group of little people and alienated by Chu Huaiwang.

In the 15th year of Wang Huai (the first 304 years), Zhang Yi paid off Shanxi merchants, Zilan and Zheng Xiu as spies with a large sum of money. At the same time, he tricked Wang Huai into breaking off diplomatic relations. After being cheated, he became angry from embarrassment and sent troops to Qin twice, both of which were defeated. So Qu Yuan was ordered to send troops to Qi State to rebuild the good relationship between Qi and Chu. Here, Zhang Yi once again went from Qin to Chu.

In the thirty years of Wang Huai, Qu Yuan returned to Ying Du. In the same year, Qin made an appointment with the military attache and was detained by Qin. Finally died in the state of Qin. After Wang Xiang ascended the throne, he continued to implement the policy of surrender. Qu Yuan was expelled again and exiled to Jiangnan, wandering between Yuan and Xiang. In the 21st year (278 BC), the state of Qin conquered Baicheng.

Qu Yuan's works include Li Sao, Tian Wen, Nine Songs (1 1), Nine Chapters (9) and Evocation, with a total of 23 articles. In addition, whether Buju and Fisherman were written by Qu Yuan is still controversial in academic circles. It put forward 172 questions to the sky with questions, involving astronomy, geography, literature, philosophy and many other fields, which showed the poet's bold suspicion of traditional ideas and the scientific spirit of pursuing truth. Nine Songs is a set of music songs for offering sacrifices to gods based on folk songs. A large number of images of gods are created in the poems, most of which are love songs between man and god.

Qu Yuan's works record his persistence in the ideal of "beautiful politics" and his struggle against the decadent aristocratic groups in Chu. His ideal of "beautiful politics" is shown in his works, that is, "to cultivate talents and empower them, but not to be fully satisfied with them" (Li Sao). The so-called "cultivating talents and appointing talents" is to select truly talented people to govern the country and oppose the nobility and inferiority in the world. It shows that it is reasonable to select talents regardless of their status. The so-called "obeying the law without being fully satisfied" means perfecting the statutes, that is, the laws are not expensive and limiting the privileges of the old nobles. Qu Yuan's ideal of "beautiful politics" reflects his sharp opposition to the decadent aristocratic groups in Chu and expresses his progressive demand of getting rid of bad politics, with the ultimate goal of saving the motherland from peril and making Chu rich and strong. Related to this, Qu Yuan's works also profoundly reveal Chu. At the same time, he showed his determination to care about the country and people, love the country and devote himself to the motherland. Although Qu Yuan was exiled or even exiled, he always thought about the rise and fall of the motherland and the sufferings of the people, and hoped that the King of Chu would repent and turn over a new leaf, work hard and be the master of rejuvenation. He knows that loyalty to honesty and frankness will lead to disaster, but he always "bears it". Knowing that he faced many dangers, he could have gone to other countries to find a way out in the era of "using Chu materials", but he refused to leave Chu, which showed his infinite loyalty to the motherland and his personality and will to "win glory with the sun and the moon".

Qu Yuan is the first great patriotic poet in the history of China literature. He is an outstanding representative of romantic poets. As an outstanding politician and patriot, Qu Yuan's spirit of loving the motherland and the people, persisting in the truth and treating death as death, and his lofty personality of "glory for the sun and the moon" have inspired and nurtured countless Chinese sons and daughters for thousands of years, especially when the country and the nation are in danger. As a great poet, this spirit is even more obvious. It not only marks that China's poetry has entered a new era from collective singing to individual originality, but also his new poetic style, Chu Ci, has broken through the expression form of The Book of Songs, greatly enriched the expressive force of poetry and opened up a new world for China's ancient poetry creation. Later generations also called Chu Ci and The Book of Songs "wind and coquettish". Feng Sao is a poem by China.

In the history of China, Qu Yuan was the most admired and loved poet by the people. According to the continuity of Sui Shu and geographical harmony, Qu Yuan threw himself into the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The custom of making zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in China originated from people's commemoration of Qu Yuan. From 1938 to 1953, Qu Yuan was also listed as one of the "Four Cultural Celebrities" in the world and was well received.

Xin Qiji (1 140- 1207) was a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The word euan, no. Jia Xuan was born in Licheng (now Jinan, Shandong). At birth, Shandong was occupied by nomadic people. 2 1 year-old joined the anti-Jin army and soon returned to the Southern Song Dynasty. He has been to Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian and eastern Zhejiang.

During his tenure, he took active measures to recruit exiles, train the army, reward farming, fight corruption, and attach importance to stability and people's livelihood. He persisted in resisting gold all his life. In the notes of Ten Comments on Meiqin and Nine Comments, the political and military situation at that time was analyzed in detail, which strongly refuted the fallacy of exaggerating the strength of nomadic people and advocating compromise and surrender. It is required to strengthen operational preparations and boost morale in order to restore the Central Plains. His anti-gold suggestion was not adopted and was hit by the peace faction. I have left my post for a long time and lived in Shangrao and Lead Mountain in Jiangxi.

I used it in my later years and soon died of illness. His ci tries to restore the patriotic enthusiasm of national reunification, pour out the grief and indignation of hard-to-pay ambition, and expose and criticize the humiliating surrender of the upper ruling group in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are also many works that praise the rivers and mountains of the motherland. The artistic style is diverse, mainly bold. Passionate, generous and tragic, vigorous brushwork, and Su Shi are also called "Su Xin". Xin Ci inherited Su Shi's bold and unconstrained ci style and the fighting tradition of patriotic poets in the early Southern Song Dynasty, further opened up the realm of Ci and expanded the theme of Ci, almost reaching the point of nothing. It also creatively synthesizes the advantages of poetry, prose, ci and fu, enriches the forms of expression of ci, and forms the unique style of symphonic ci. Words are bold and unconstrained, but eclectic, gloomy, bright, inspirational and charming. He is good at using concrete techniques and strange imagination to endow the mountains, water, wind, moon, grass and wood in nature with emotion and character, and place some hopes on them. He is also good at absorbing folk spoken language, especially at using allusions, using things and quoting poems and sentences of predecessors, and often makes a little transformation and creates new ideas. But some works are obscure and boring because of too many allusions and arguments. The summary of the catalogue of Sikuquanshu said: "His words are generous and arrogant, and he can stand out because of the sudden change of tone of the musicians." Wu's Lotus Poem says: Xin Jiaxuan's solo poems, regardless of ancient and modern times, show profound brushwork, such as Lun, Meng, Preface of Poetry, Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period, Southland, Li Sao, History Book, Han, Shi Shuo, Metaphysics, Li and Du Fu. "

"Is it broken?" Send Chen Tongfu an argument. ""Never pick up music? "Jingkou Gubeiting Nostalgia" and "Shuilongyin? Deng Jiankang Shangxin Pavilion, Bodhisattva Man? Book Jiangxi is famous for its stoma wall. However, some works also reveal negative emotions caused by unfulfilled ambitions. And "Jia He's Short Sentence". Modern people compiled Notes on Xin Jiaxuan's Poems.

Although seriously injured, he refused to leave the cabin and has been sitting on the deck to supervise the battle. In the battle of ahava, faced with the temptation of the enemy and the intimidation of some reactionary officials, he remained firm and fought against the enemy to the death, and finally made opium a martyr.

Suwu shepherd

Su Wu was a corps commander in the Western Han Dynasty. In BC 100, Emperor Wu appointed Su Wu as the official envoy of the Han Dynasty to escort the Xiongnu envoys home. When Su Wu arrived in Xiongnu and prepared to leave for Han, an accident happened. King Gou Jian of Xiongnu and Yu Chang, a traitor of the Han Dynasty, are planning a rebellion, preparing to contact the former Han soldiers brought by Wei Law when he surrendered to Xiongnu, and kidnap the mother of Xiongnu Khan to escape to the Han Dynasty. Yu Chang was very loyal to the Han Dynasty and hated Wei Law's shameful act of treason and seeking glory. Su Wu and John Zhang were sent to Xiongnu, and Yuchang was very happy. During the Han Dynasty, Yu Chang had frequent contacts with John Zhang. Yu Chang sneaked up to John Zhang and said, "I heard that Emperor Wu hated the defense law of treason very much. I can ambush someone secretly to get rid of him. My mother and brother were both in the Han Dynasty. If anything happens to me, I hope you will take care of them when you return to Han. " John Zhang agreed to Yuchang's plan and gave Yuchang some money and things to support Yuchang's action. Unexpectedly, Yu was often reported and Khan sent troops to kill him. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, and others were killed, and Yu was often captured alive.
