Ren

There are many virtues in our Chinese history, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith are the prominent ones, among which Ren stands first. Today we will go together to feel the ancient traditional virtues!

Sichuan Han Jianxing three years (225 years) in the fall, Zhu Geliang to take the battle of the heart, seven captures and seven vertical subdued Meng, and the Southwest lesser ethnic groups to establish a good relationship, the division returned to the dynasty. The army traveled to Lushui, suddenly cloudy, windy, huge waves, the army could not cross the river. Zhuge Liang was well versed in astronomy and very familiar with weather changes, but this sudden change confused him as well. He was busy consulting Meng Yu, who had come to see him off and knew the geography and climate of the area very well. Meng Yu said, "This place has been at war for several years, and many soldiers died in battle here; the unjust souls of these visitors who died in a foreign land often come out to make mischief, and anyone who wants to cross the water here must make offerings." Zhuge Liang thought of these soldiers, for the sake of the country's interests, leaving their corpses in other places, now the war is over, the generals returned to the court in victory, but they will forever become lonely souls in a foreign land, sacrifices should be made to honor them. He asked Meng Yu what he would use as sacrifice. Meng Yu said, "It is necessary to use seven hundred and seventy-nine heads to offer sacrifices to be safe and sound, and the coming year will surely have a good harvest." Zhuge Liang heard, his heart sank: since these haunts are the souls of the wrongdoers, if another 49 heads are sacrificed, is it not another 49 wrongdoers added for no reason at all? This cycle is repeated, the more the souls will accumulate, Lushui will never have peace. The price of sacrificing human heads would be too high.

Zhuge Liang decided not to sacrifice human heads to Lushui. He came to the edge of Lushui and saw that the shadowy air was rising, the waves were raging, and the soldiers and horses were in a state of panic, so it seemed that it was not possible not to offer sacrifices. The local natives said to Zhuge Liang: "After the last time the Prime Minister crossed the Lushui, the ghosts and gods cried night and day at the water's edge. From dusk to dawn, never stop." Zhuge Liang thought, it seems that the crime is on me, how can I implicate innocent soldiers and civilians, and decided to personally sacrifice offerings. Zhuge Liang thought hard and finally came up with a brilliant way to replace the human head with another object. He ordered the soldiers to kill cattle and sheep, cattle and sheep meat chopped into meat sauce, mixed into a meat filling, outside the bread on the flour, and made into a human head shape, into the cage drawer steamed. This kind of sacrifice is called "steamed bun head". Zhuge Liang will be this meat and flour made steamed buns to the Lushui side, personally set up on the offering table, worship some, and then one by one thrown into the Lushui. After being sacrificed, the Lushui was suddenly cleared of clouds and mist, the wind and waves calmed down, and the army crossed the river smoothly. Since then, people often use steamed buns as offerings for various sacrifices. Because of the synonymy of "first" and "head", the steamed buns were later called "steamed buns". Steamed buns were eaten as offerings, and people were inspired to use steamed buns as food. Now, steamed bread all over China, but also spread to the world, as for which contains the Zhuge Liang's love of people's spirit, that know people may not be much.

Ah! Chinese Ren, and ordinary Ren is not the same, because he was created for the sake of other people
