What are the traditional stories of filial piety to the elderly?

There are: tasting soup and medicine, looking at the clouds and thinking about relatives, writing to save my father, being alone with my mother, selling my body to bury my father, etc.

1, taste the soup.

In 202 BC, Liu Bang established the Western Han regime. Liu Heng, the fourth son of Chinese Emperor Liu Bang, is a famous dutiful son. Liu Heng was very filial to his mother, Empress Dowager Cixi, and never ignored her.

Once, his mother was very ill, which worried Liu Heng. His mother was ill for three years and was bedridden. Liu Heng personally boiled medicine soup for her mother and guarded her bedside day and night.

Every time I see my mother asleep, I lie by her bed and sleep for a while. Liu Heng decocts medicine for his mother every day. Every time he finishes frying, he always tastes it first to see if the soup is bitter and spicy. He thought it was almost enough and gave it to his mother.

Liu Heng's filial piety to his mother is widely circulated in the ruling and opposition circles. People all praised him as the son of Renxiao.

2, looking at the clouds and thinking about relatives

Looking at the clouds and thinking about your relatives is one of the famous twenty-four filial piety. It tells the story of Di Renjie, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He comes from a poor family and is diligent and studious. Later, he became prime minister. He is an upright official and a kind man, and he is respected by the ruling and opposition parties. When he became prime minister, Zheng Chong, who joined the army with the same magistrate, should have been sent to the frontier by imperial edict. It happened that there was an old and sick mother at home who needed to be served and couldn't get away.

Therefore, Di Renjie asked the emperor to go to the frontier on his behalf. Because of a sunrise patrol, he climbed to the top of Taihang Mountain and saw Baiyun flying alone, so he remembered his parents who stayed in Heyang (now Qinyang, Henan Province) and sang poems to show his love, hoping Baiyun would miss his loved ones.

De Renjie Wang Yunqin Silk is located in Hengwang Town (now Xiaokouai, Zezhou County, Jincheng City), at the extreme of Taihang Mountain, south of Tianjingguan Village 12 km, which is an important pass on Kujin-Henan Road. Hengwangguan is also called Xiaokouguan. According to legend, Meng Liang, the general of the Northern Song Dynasty, built a village here and guarded this pass. Therefore, it is said that the village site of Meng Liang Village 1 still exists, and there are still inscriptions on it.

3. Write to save your father

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, there was a man named Chunyu Kun, who learned superb medical skills under Qing Yang, a famous doctor in Qi State, and once worked as a warehouse keeper in Qi State. After his teacher died, he gave up his official position to practice medicine. Because of honest and frank's personality, he offended a terrible person when he was practicing medicine, which led him to be framed and taken to Beijing for punishment.

His daughter's name is Ti Ying. Although she is a weak woman, she went to Chang 'an to complain to the emperor. She stated the harm of corporal punishment, and explained her father's honesty and love for the people when he was an official, and his kindness to the world when he practiced medicine. Now he's really being framed.

Willing to be punished for my father. Deeply moved by Ti Ying's filial piety, Wendi pardoned her father and issued an imperial edict to abolish corporal punishment.

4. Shan Yi and Mom

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a dutiful son named Min Ziqian. My mother died early, and my father married his stepmother and gave birth to two younger brothers. His stepmother treats him badly and often abuses him. One winter, his stepmother made clothes for him with reed flowers and cotton-padded clothes for his two younger brothers. Clothes made of reed flowers look fluffy, but they are not warm.

It happened that his father took him out and let him drive a carriage to Xiaoxian County to drive cattle back to the village. Because the weather is too cold and the cold wind is blowing, his clothes are not warm and shivering with cold. My father was very angry after reading it. Wearing such thick clothes, he is still shaking. Did he deliberately slander his stepmother? In a rage, he picked up a whip and whipped Min Zikai.

As a result, the whip went down, the clothes were torn and the reeds flew out. The father realized that it was the stepmother who abused the child, so he was very angry. When he gets home, he will divorce his stepmother now.

But Zi Qian didn't hold a grudge against her stepmother, but sympathized with her. The boy felt that he couldn't divorce his stepmother because of such a trivial matter, so he knelt down and said to his father, "Dad, please don't drive her away, because there are two little brothers!

I was the only one who was cold when my mother was around. If my mother leaves, my two younger brothers and I will starve to death. (One child is cold, and the mother goes to the third child list) "

In this case, Min Zikai's sincere filial piety has not weakened, and he is also thinking about the harmony between brothers and families. This sincerity calmed my father down and made my stepmother feel ashamed.

Min Zikai's sincere filial piety transformed the evil fate of the family, and the family was happy from then on. Therefore, "if you hate me, you must be filial." We always think that "virtue is not cultivated", so if we are sincere, we will never forget it and take care of it forever.

Sell your body to bury your father.

Selling one's body to bury one's father refers to the story that Yong Dong lost his mother when he was a teenager, and then his father died, and Yong Dong sold himself to a rich family as a slave in exchange for funeral expenses. On my way to work, I met a woman in the shade and claimed to be homeless, so they got married.

This woman knitted 300 pieces of brocade in January to pay off Yong Dong's debts. She went to Huaiyin on her way home. The woman told Yong Dong that she was the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and was ordered to help Yong Dong pay his debts. Say that finish volley. So Huaiyin changed its name to Xiaogan.
