Ceng Zi pengbi

Ceng Zi's wife's city, her son cried. His mother said, "If that woman gives it back, she will kill that woman." When his wife came back from the market, Ceng Zi wanted to catch a pig and kill it. His wife stopped him at once and said, "I'm just joking with my son." Ceng Zi said, "Babies have nothing to do with play. Babies must be wise, treat their parents and scholars, and listen to their parents' teaching. Today's son deceives him, and his godson deceives him. The mother deceived her son, and the son became a teacher when he didn't believe in his mother. " So Ceng Zi cooked the pig for the baby. ("Everything was done by Han Feizi. Foreign reserves say left ")

Ceng Zi's wife went to the market, and her son cried and clamored to follow. His mother said to him, "Go home first, and I'll come back later to kill the pig for you." No sooner had she returned from the fair than Ceng Zi was going to catch pigs and kill them. She stopped saying, "It's just a joke with the children." Ceng Zi said, "Wife, you can't joke with him! Children have no ability to think and judge, so they should learn from their parents and follow their correct instructions. Now you lie to him, you are teaching your child to cheat! When the mother cheated her son, the son no longer trusted her. This is not the way to achieve education. " So Ceng Zi killed the pig, cooked the meat and gave it to the children.

Zeng butcher

Ceng Zi, whose name was Zeng Shen, was a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period and a disciple of Confucius. Ceng Zi was deeply taught by Confucius. He is not only knowledgeable, but also very honest. He never cheats others, even for his own children.

One day, Ceng Zi's wife was going to the market, and the child cried and asked to go with his mother. So his mother lied to him and said, "Good boy, wait for your mother at home and kill the pig for you when she comes back from the market." The child believed it and ran home happily, shouting, "There is meat to eat, there is meat to eat."

The child stayed at home all day, and when his mother came back, friends from the village came to visit him, but he refused. He leaned against the wall, basking in the sun and imagining the taste of pork, not to mention how happy he was.

In the evening, the child saw his mother come back from a distance. He ran up to meet him in three steps and shouted, "Mom, mom, kill the pig, kill the pig oil, I'm going to die."

Ceng Zi's wife said, "A pig can support our family's food for two or three months. How can you kill pigs at work? "

The child cried with a wow.

Ceng Zi heard it, and when he knew the truth, he didn't say anything. Turn around and go back to the house After a while, he came out with a kitchen knife. Ceng Zi's wife was frightened, because Ceng Zi was always very strict with the children, thinking that he would teach them a lesson, and she quickly put her arms around them. But Ceng Zi went straight to the pigsty.

The wife asked inexplicably, "What are you doing in the pigsty with a kitchen knife?"

Ceng Zi replied without thinking: "Kill the pig".

The wife listened to a sloped smile: "But what pig should I kill in the New Year?"

Ceng Zi said seriously, "Didn't you promise your child to kill pigs for him? Since you promised, you should do it. "

The wife said, "I'm just lying to the children." Why should I talk to them seriously? "

Ceng Zi said: "It is more important for children to keep their promises. Otherwise, isn't it obvious that children should lie like their parents? " ? Adults don't keep their words. What qualifications do you have to educate your children in the future? "

The wife bowed her head in shame after hearing this. The couple really killed the pigs for their children and gave a banquet to entertain the villagers, asking them to educate their children to set an example.

Although Zeng's practice was laughed at by some people, he educated honest and trustworthy children. The story of Ceng Zi's killing pigs has spread to this day, and his character has been admired by later generations.

Bourzhou Suzhou

There are many pedantic people in history, and of course there are many pedantic stories. But the most pedantic should be Boyi and Shu Qi in the early Zhou Dynasty.

Here's the story.

Boyi and Shu Qi were two sons of the monarch of the solitary bamboo kingdom in the late Shang Dynasty. Boyi is the boss and Shu Qi is the third. Because Qi Shu is smart and very popular with the old monarch, the old monarch is going to pass on the throne to Qi Shu. However, according to the rules at that time, the throne was generally passed on to the eldest son and passed on to the third son, which was a bit of a misnomer. Although the old monarch didn't say it clearly, Boyi had seen his father's mind.

A few years later, old Guo Jun became seriously ill and was bedridden. Seeing that the old monarch is going to die, it is time to determine the throne. Boyi thought, my father always wanted Shu Qi to take over as the monarch. If I stay in the palace, my father's wishes will be difficult to express. So he left home in the name of finding herbs for his father and never came back.

Old two and old three are waiting for news from Boyi at home, waiting and waiting, but there has been no news from big brother. The old monarch is dead, and the eldest brother hasn't come back yet. Shu Qi has realized that the eldest brother is deliberately avoiding, so that he can become a monarch smoothly. Shu Qi thinks he is the third child. Even if the eldest brother is absent, he should be succeeded by the second. Shu Qi decided to go to the eldest brother and persuade him to come back to the throne. One morning, before dawn, Shu Qi slipped out of the house and went to find his brother alone.

The ministers of the solitary bamboo kingdom saw that the eldest brother and the third son had left one after another and had to make the second son king.

Shu Qi searched outside, day after day, month after month. Many things happen. By chance, Shu Qi finally found Boyi. Jishu advised Boyi to go back, Boyi advised Jishu to go back. They argued for a long time. Finally, Qi Shu said, "Let's not argue here. A country cannot live without a monarch for a day. We have been out for so many days, and the second brother must be the monarch. No matter who goes back, aren't we going to squeeze the second brother down again? We don't go back at all. "

If I can't go home, where can I go? They heard that Xi Bochang of Zhou was a very kind monarch, and if he went to take refuge in him, he would be accepted. So they decided to take refuge in Xibe factory.

The two men camped in the wind, waded through mountains and rivers, and finally came to Zhou Guo after hardships. Sure enough, Xibochang warmly received them, and in this way, the two stayed in Zhou State.

Many years have passed, and Boyi and Shu Qi have become white-haired old people. At that time, Xibochang died and Xibochang's son Ji Fa (later Zhou Wuwang) succeeded him. Ji Fa is not as gentle as his father. Shortly after he took office, he went to crusade against Shang Zhouwang in the name of Zhou Wenwang. Conquering Shang Zhouwang, which had no way, was originally a just move, but in the view of Boyi and Shu Qi, this kind of action was deviant and perverse, and they decided to take the initiative to remonstrate with Zhou Wuwang.

The army is about to leave. Boyi and Shu Qi knelt in front of Zhou Wuwang's chariot and stopped King Wu's war horse. They beat King Wu and said, "It is unfilial of you to go out under the banner of your father. It is unfair for the following offenders to attack Shang Wang. Is it the duty of a servant to lead troops against his master? " Ji Fa was very unkind to the two of them, so he pushed them to the ground and dragged them to the side of the road.

Two years later, Zhou Wuwang finally wiped out the Shang Dynasty. Desperate Shang Zhouwang ran to the deer platform and set himself on fire. Ji Fa claimed to be King Wu and founded the Zhou Dynasty.

Boyi and Shu Qi were very disappointed with Zhou Wuwang. They decided to leave Zhou. Two people have been to the east, stop and go. On this day, they came to Yangshou Mountain in Shanxi.

At that time, it was already spring, and there were hundreds of flowers blooming on Yangshou Mountain, and the scenery was pleasant. Boyi and Shu Qi, two old gentlemen, thought this place was good and decided to live here. They found some branches and thatch, set up a thatched cottage in a sunny place and lived freely. In order to express their desire not to be subjects of the Zhou Dynasty, they decided not to eat the grain grown in the fields of the Zhou Dynasty. Fortunately, there are many wild fruits and vegetables on Yangshou Mountain, and the two old gentlemen don't worry about eating them.

It's late autumn in a blink of an eye, and the weather is getting colder every day. There are fewer and fewer wild fruits and vegetables on the mountain, and the two brothers began to worry about eating. Sometimes only one or two handfuls of wild vegetables can be picked a day, and the two brothers can make do with a little and barely make ends meet. Everyone at the foot of the mountain knows their origins. Seeing their pity, we advised them to go down the mountain to get something to eat, but they would rather die than follow, so everyone had to let nature take its course.

Wild vegetables are getting harder and harder to pick. They saw a little girl on the mountain. The little girl was pitiful to see the two of them sallow and emaciated. She said to them, "Winter is coming, and there are not many wild vegetables. You are all saints. You just don't eat the grain grown in the fields of the Zhou Dynasty because of your passion. Not worth it. You'd better go down the mountain and get something to eat. "

The two old people shook their heads: "We would rather eat wild vegetables than the food grown in the fields of the Zhou Dynasty."

The little girl thinks these two old gentlemen are pedantic and ridiculous. She said to the two old gentlemen, "Is the whole world a land of kings?" . You swore not to eat the grain grown in the fields of the Zhou Dynasty. Didn't wild vegetables and wild fruits grow on the mountains in the Zhou Dynasty? Why do you eat them? "

Bo Yi and Shu Qi, who were asked in one word, were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. It turns out that I have persisted for so long, and I still live today by eating things grown in the fields of the Zhou Dynasty. They decided not to even eat wild vegetables from now on.

Soon, two old people starved to death on the shouyangshan. The idiom "Don't eat Zhou Su" comes from this story.
