What is honesty?

Compared with the ancients, apart from the unprecedented crisis of faith, we lack one thing more, and that is honesty. Of course, this is only for ordinary people. Today's dignitaries simply don't care about this, and they can't expect it. For them, honesty can't be eaten as food, used as money, lived in a mansion, enjoyed as a mistress, or even lost their lives, which can be said to do more harm than good. ?

Throughout the ages, it is no exaggeration to say that most friends related to the word honesty have changed their lives. Moreover, the ancestors handed down in history are rarely of civilian origin. They can completely compromise, they can turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear, they can keep pace with the times; Most of them are in high positions and can enjoy luxury, luxury and wealth as a matter of course. But they didn't, they were not afraid of power and people's words; They are doing things that they know they can't do, sticking to their beliefs and truth, taking the world as their responsibility, or retiring after success, or giving their lives for justice ...?

Just because they believe that at any time, justice and righteousness exist, are indelible and invincible! ?

On the eve of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang made his own property and organized a rebel army to resist the enemy. After being captured, Yuan surrendered with senior officials. Wen Tianxiang would rather die than surrender, and die calmly. He interpreted the immortal song of justice with his own actions. ?

As the saying goes, "poor festivals are empty, and one by one hangs in the sky." ; As the saying goes, "No one has died since ancient times, leaving a heart to shine." ?

There is a cloud in the righteous song-"In Qi Taishi Jian, in the east of Shanxi Hu Bi. In Zhang Liang's pursuit of Qin, in the late Han Dynasty and Suwu Festival ... "They are people with integrity and have a high position in history. As Sima Qian said, "People are inherently mortal, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather." The people above you are more important than Mount Tai. ?

According to the fisherman, Qu Yuan was exiled to Xiangjiang River by Chu Huaiwang. ?

When he met a fisherman by the water, he asked, "Is this Dr. San Lv? Why? " ?

Qu Yuan gave the reason-"The world is turbid and I am alone, and everyone is drunk and I am alone ..."?

The fisherman smiled and sang "Song of Canglang" to persuade Qu Yuan to die: "The water of Canglang is crystal clear and can accommodate me; The water in the rough waves is turbid, so you can lick my feet. " Then go, no more words. ?

Qu Yuan did not compromise in the end. After his political ideal was shattered, he knew that although he wanted to serve his country, he was powerless to return to heaven. He had to die without regret and resolutely threw himself into the Miluo River. I would rather die than surrender and go with the flow. Is it for honesty?

It can only be extracted from the deep mountains after being struck by thousands of hammers. It regards the burning of the burning fire as a very common thing. Broken bones and muddy bodies are not afraid, but only innocence remains in the world. -Yu Qian?

A Lyrics of Lime is a brilliant portrayal of the life of national hero Yu Qian. He went to Jiangxi to rehabilitate unjust imprisonment and relieve famine, and was deeply loved by the people. After the change of civil engineering, Waci entered Kyoto again. Yu Qian argued for moving south, made a decision to defend the capital and personally supervise the war, and finally turned the tide and repelled the Waci army. Otherwise, the history of the Ming Dynasty is likely to be rewritten by repeating the mistakes of the Song Dynasty. ?

However, when Zhu Qizhen resumed British rule, Yu Qian, the hero, was killed by a villain and executed on the charge of "wanting to welcome foreign princes". It is exactly the same as Yue Fei's "unwarranted" charges. After his death, the government copied his home, and there was nothing of value in it, which showed that he was an honest official. ?

During the Orthodox period, eunuch Wang Zhen was in power, and whenever he came to the court, there would be gifts. Yu Qian has no money, and every time he goes to Beijing to play something, he returns empty-handed. And write a poem with a clear vision-the wind blows the sleeves to the sky, so as not to say short words! This is the origin of the idiom "remain uncorrupted". ?

Yu Qian's death, the world was wronged, but fortunately, he was finally rehabilitated, which shows that justice is at home. The reason why Yu Qian has such a noble personality is inseparable from the establishment of his outlook on life in his youth. He had an idol named Wen Tianxiang?

When it comes to honesty, one person must be mentioned, that is, Yang Jisheng, who died in Yan Song during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. In my opinion, Yang Jisheng is no less great than Wen Tianxiang. Yang Jisheng was born in poverty, honesty and integrity. Ding Weike was a scholar, and was promoted to the capital at the age of 35, and was promoted to Foreign Minister of the Ministry of War. After the Ming Dynasty was rehabilitated, Shao Qing of Taichang Temple was posthumously awarded. ?

Yang Jisheng died for impeaching Yan Song. He knew that Yan Song, then the cabinet records, had Jiajing's care, and no one could shake his power. Impeach Yan Song, the result is only a dead end! But history has proved that Yan Song was cheated, and he fell into the trap set by Yang Jisheng with his life, because he came to die. From that moment on, the book "Please Punish Thieves and Ministers" listed Yan Song's "Five Crimes and Ten Crimes". The foolish act of executing Yang Jisheng is the cornerstone of the ultimate demise of Yan Party. ?

In order to persecute Yang Jisheng, Yan Song falsely preached the imperial edict and threw him into prison, beating him a hundred times (generally, people who are beaten with sticks will lose half their lives even if they don't die). Colleagues couldn't bear it, so they were given a pair of snake gall by the trustee, which can relieve pain and detoxify. Yang Jisheng refused: "Jiao Shan has its own gall, why bother with snakes!" (Yang Jisheng Jiao Shan). After three years in prison, I was tortured. I once cut off three catties of carrion and broke two tendons. It is more fearless and courageous than Guan Yunchang in those days. Besides, this is a historical record, and the authenticity of Guan Yu's story remains to be verified. ?

During the execution, the people rushed to see me off. There was a sea of people at that time, crying loudly. Yang Jisheng took his time, regarded death as death, and recited a desperate poem loudly: "Heroism is still too empty, and Dan Xin shines through the ages;" I didn't do anything before I died, and I will stay in the future! " .？

It is well known that Yan Song is autocratic, persecuting loyal sages and corrupting the law and order. Yang Jisheng warned the latecomers: Leap forward, and you will die if you fall behind. Adhere to justice, be unyielding and do what you know you can't do; In order to help the right path, he challenged power with his bare hands and without fear. "If you listen to the Tao, you will die in the evening" and "if you do your best, you will die", all because of integrity. ?

Throughout the ages, people with lofty ideals and famous people in history have all cherished the world. They either helped the people, died in battle, achieved great things, or retired. ?

Before Chen, after the ambition to kill Qin; Zhuge Liang and Shu Xiang died even if they were "unsuccessful"; In the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi said that "the power of the world is outspoken, and the merits of a generation are unquestionable"; Fan Zhongyan in the Northern Song Dynasty, the warning that "the world is worried first, and the world is happy later" has been passed down through the ages; Yue Wumu in the Southern Song Dynasty became famous by dust in his thirties. Qi Jiguang, a famous soldier, "I don't want to seal Hou, I hope that the sea will be flat"; Wang Shouren, a sage, is famous for his unity of knowing and doing, and his thought shines on later generations; Six gentlemen before and after Ming Xizong; Six gentlemen in Qing dynasty; Seventy-two brave men in Huanghuagang ... (The last few are team champions)?

There are countless decent people. Moreover, the word honesty is not exclusive to men, and women don't let men. In addition to Qiu Jin, a woman who is known to most people, there is a great woman who has to be mentioned in more recent times, although she may not be well known for various unknown reasons. But I believe that the historical sky is like a mirror that is occasionally covered with dust, and it will restore its true colors one day. Any dirty, dirty, indecent and other shady activities will eventually hide in front of her! ?

For various unknown or possibly well-known reasons, some words are omitted here. ...

Prometheus, the god of foresight in ancient Greek mythology. ?

Legend has it that he stole fire for mankind and offended Zeus, the god of heaven. ?

Zeus was furious and ordered Vulcan to give Prometheus the severest punishment. ?

But Vulcan admired Prometheus and whispered to him, "As long as you apologize to Zeus and return the fire, I will definitely ask Zeus to forgive you." ?

Prometheus shook his head and said firmly, "What's wrong with benefiting mankind?" ! I can endure all kinds of pain, but I will never admit my mistake, let alone retaliate! " ?

Vulcan did not dare to disobey Zeus' orders, so he had to take Prometheus to Caucasus Mountain and tie him to a steep cliff with a chain that never stopped making money, so that he could never sleep, his tired knees could not bend, and a diamond nail was nailed to his undulating chest. He endured hunger, wind and sun. ?

In addition, Zeus sent a hateful vulture to peck at Prometheus' liver every day. During the day, the liver was eaten up, but it grew back at night, so Prometheus' pain was endless. Nevertheless, he didn't give in. Day after day, year after year. It was not until Hercules, the famous Hercules, shot a death eagle with an arrow and rescued it by smashing the chain with a stone that he endured indescribable pain and torture. ?

The above is the origin of the flame in Olympic history. -From ancient Greek mythology?

Now we often compare Prometheus to a man who would rather sacrifice himself than help others. (Note: Lei Feng does not count)?
