What are the stories of family etiquette?

Examples of ancient stories about family etiquette are as follows.

First, Kong Rong let pears.

Kong Rong, a native of Lu (now Qufu, Shandong Province), was a famous writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the seven sons of Jian 'an. His literary creation was highly praised by Wei Wendi Cao Pi. According to historical records, Kong Rong was not only very clever when he was young, but also a typical example of paying attention to brotherhood, mutual help and friendship.

When Kong Rong was four years old, he often ate pears with his brother. Every time, Kong Rong always takes the smallest pear. Once, my father saw it and asked, "Why do you always take the small one instead of the big one?" Kong Rong said: I am the younger brother, and I am the youngest. I should eat the small one and let my brother eat the big one! .

At an early age, Kong Rong learned the truth of mutual courtesy, mutual help, unity and friendship between brothers and sisters, which surprised the whole family. Since then, Kong Rong has spread the story of pears for thousands of years, becoming a model of unity and friendship.

Second, lie on the ice and eat carp.

Wang Xiang, a native of Langya, lost his mother in his early years. Stepmother Zhu spoke ill of him many times in front of his father, which made him lose his father's love. His stepmother was ill, so he took off his clothes to serve him. His stepmother wants to eat live carp. It was freezing. He unbuttoned his clothes and lay on the ice. Suddenly, the ice melted and two carp jumped out. After eating, her stepmother recovered. Wang Xiang lived in seclusion for more than twenty years, and later she was ordered to leave Wenxian County.

Third, Meng Mu broke the knitting.

When Mencius was young, he came home from school. His mother is knitting silk. When she saw him come back, she asked, "How is your study?" Mencius casually said, "Just like the past." Meng Mu was very angry when he saw that he didn't care. Now he cuts the cloth with scissors. When Mencius saw this, he was scared to ask his mother why she did it.

Meng Mu said: You neglected your studies, just like I cut this thread. People with virtue study in order to establish a reputation and increase their knowledge by asking more questions, so they can be peaceful at ordinary times and avoid disasters when doing things. Now, if they neglect their studies, they will inevitably do coolies and avoid disasters, which is different from making a living by weaving.

If you give up halfway and don't do it, how can you let your husband and son have clothes to wear and not lack food for a long time? If a woman neglects to produce the necessities needed at home, and a man relaxes his cultivation and virtue, then the family can only do slave labor, not robbers and thieves.

Mencius was frightened after hearing this. From then on, he studied diligently from morning till night and never slacked off. Finally, he became a person who was asked by universities all over the world. People with virtue in later generations think that Meng Mu knows the law of motherhood.
