Honest story 1 Lu Bu's story

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu. He kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people have established a strong friendship with him. At that time, there was even a proverb: "It is better to get a hundred pounds of gold than to keep a promise." (This is the origin of the idiom "a promise is as good as a gold") Later, he offended Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, and was offered a reward for his capture.

As a result, his old friends not only were not confused by the heavy money, but also risked the extinction of Jiuzu to protect him from disaster.

A person who is honest and trustworthy will naturally get a lot of help and gain everyone's respect and friendship. On the other hand, if you covet temporary comfort or petty advantages and lose trust in your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, which is much more important than material things. Therefore, breaking a promise to a friend is tantamount to losing a watermelon and picking up sesame seeds, which is not worth the loss.

Story about honesty 2 Guo Moruo was naughty when he was a child, but he was very filial. Once, his mother got carsick. Guo Moruo heard that plantain flower can cure this disease. This kind of flower is very expensive and seldom blooms, so he and his brother ran to a garden to look for it. It happened that the plantain in that garden had a big yellow flower, and Guo Moruo and his brother secretly picked it and gave it to their mother. Although the mother knew that Guo Moruo was filial to her, her son's behavior made him sad. Since then, Guo Moruo has never stolen anything from others.

Ceng Zi's wife went to the market, and her son went with her, crying as he walked. Mother said to him, "Go home. When I come back, I'll kill the pig for you." His wife came back from the market and Ceng Zi wanted to catch some pigs to kill them. His wife stopped him and said, "It's just a joke with the children." Ceng Zi said, "Never joke with children. Children are ignorant at first, so they should learn from their parents and listen to their instructions. Now if you lie to him, you are teaching your children to lie. If the mother deceives the child and the child does not believe the mother, it is impossible to teach the child well. " Ceng Zi then killed the pig.

The story about honesty 4 The ancients said: A word from a gentleman is a promise that cannot be recalled. This old saying has been passed down to this day. If you make a promise, you must faithfully carry it out.

Honesty and trustworthiness is one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, which has long been integrated into our blood. As a famous saying goes, life cannot blossom brilliantly from lies. Yes, it is impossible for a person to break his word if he wants to live a wonderful life.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a man named Jibu, who was honest and especially trustworthy. No matter how difficult it is, he tries his best to finish what he promised. At that time, there was a popular proverb: it is better to make a promise than to get 100 Jin of gold. This shows how precious sincerity is. A word won the rich, won the appreciation.

Of course, honesty is not a temporary honesty, we should remain honest and stick to it all our lives. The text "The Letter Guest" that we have studied can illustrate this point. Petitioners make a living by honesty. Honesty means being sincere and honest with yourself. Faith means trusting others outside, having credit, stressing credibility and keeping promises. Although the old believer in the article was brilliant before, it was a temporary dishonesty that ruined his life. However, young believers are different. No matter how hard life is, they still focus on words and finally win the praise of the society. But some people are just the opposite. The performance of the fisherman in the Peach Blossom Garden shows that he is not trustworthy. Originally, this is a very beautiful thing. The people in Taoyuan are very friendly to him and warmly entertain him. Before leaving, they told him: don't tell anyone about this, what about him? Looking for Taoyuan everywhere is foolproof, but the beautiful Peach Blossom Garden has vanished. I think he must have been punished by senior officials for cheating the monarch. He is a bad man, and I don't know how he can stop me.

Life experience tells us that people who don't trust can deceive for a while, but they can't deceive others for a lifetime. Once caught, it is difficult to gain a foothold in society. As a result, they will hurt others and themselves, be honest and trustworthy, gain the trust of others, and it is the sublimation of morality.

The story about honesty Shang Yang was a famous reformer in the Warring States Period. In order to establish prestige, before the political reform, Shang Yang ordered a 3-foot-long wood to be erected outside the south gate of the capital of Qin State, and made a public promise that whoever moved the wood to the north gate would get 10 gold. People don't believe that no one has touched the wood. Shang Yang raised the reward to 50 gold. A man carried the wood to the north gate, and Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty taels of gold. Shang Yang's actions make people feel that he is a man of his word. So Shang Yang's new law also won people's trust and soon spread in Qin State.

Stories about honesty 6. Eat dates and leave money at the fork. One morning, people in Song Dynasty visited distant relatives with a servant. At noon, both of them were hungry, but there was no restaurant on the road. What shall we do? The servant suggested taking some of the gifts for others. Chad said, "How is that possible? Since these gifts are to be given away, they belong to others. How can we steal food if we keep our word? " As a result, the two had to go hungry.

Walking, a jujube garden appeared on the roadside. Jujube trees are covered with ripe dates and are very popular. Chad and the servants were hungry. They felt even hungrier, so they stopped. Chad asked his servant to pick some dates from the tree to eat.

When they finished eating dates, Chadao took out a bundle of money and hung it on the tree picking dates. The servant asked strangely, "What does this mean?" Tea ceremony: "if you eat someone else's dates, you have to pay." The servant said, "the owner of the jujube garden is not here, and no one else has seen it." Why are you so serious? " Cha Dao said seriously: "Honesty is a moral that people should have. Although the owner of the jujube is not here, and no one else has seen it, since we ate other people's dates, we should give money. "

The Story of Honesty Once upon a time, there was a young man named Wei Sheng. One day, the young man met a girl and fell in love with her, so he made an appointment to meet her at Longbridge the next day. The next day, Weisheng came to the long bridge as promised, but the girl didn't come, so Weisheng lingered on the long bridge waiting for the girl to appear. An hour passed, two hours passed, many hours passed, and the girl hasn't come yet. It rained heavily, and soon the water at the bottom of the bridge overflowed the pier for a long time, gradually drowning Wei Sheng's body, but Wei Sheng thought of dating the girl and could not break his word. In the end, there was no. This is an old story about honesty in China, which is called "Alliance under the Bridge".

The Honest Story Ji Guo, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a great official and doctor in Taichung. He put honesty and loyalty first among officials and devoted himself to the well-being of the people. When he was the magistrate of Bingzhou, he was diligent and loved the people, often making private visits incognito, solving people's sufferings, rectifying official management, finding out many unjust, false and misjudged cases and making contributions to the people. Therefore, the people have always cherished his kindness and admired him as a man. Every time Ji Guo passes through a county and a town, people of all ages welcome him.

On one occasion, Ji Guo went to various counties to inspect the official management, and rode to Meiji County, Xihe County with several followers. Before I entered the city, I saw hundreds of children, one by one riding bamboo horses, worshipping at the roadside. Ji Guo asked, "Why do the children come by themselves?" The children replied, "I am very happy to hear that your majesty has come, so I have come to welcome you." Ji Guo dismounted quickly, and politely decline met him and walked into the county seat surrounded by children.

In Meiji Prefecture, Ji Guo carefully read the files accumulated in recent years. If there are wrong judgments, he will immediately bring them up for retrial and check the people's feelings and condolences to the poor. The people rejoiced and gave many gifts, but they didn't accept them. Things done, go to the next county. Just arrived at the city gate, I didn't expect all the children to ride bamboo horses to see me off again and send them all the way to the suburbs. I asked him, "When will your messenger come back and pass by again?" Ji Guo told the Bureau of International Exhibitions to calculate the timetable and told them.

Ji Guo's trip to the next county was very smooth, and he came back one day earlier than the original date. In order not to break his promise to the children, he slept in the wild pavilion all night and waited until the next day to go to town. ...

Ji Guo, as a magistrate, refused to go back on his word to the children riding bamboo horses in the wild on the roadside, not to mention it was a big deal! I came back a day early, so I'd rather spend the night at Shan Ye Pavilion than keep my own return date, so I can make great achievements. Guangwudi praised his virtue and said, "I believe." Later, "Ji Guo's waiting period" was regarded as the standard of keeping the contract.

Story about Honesty 9 After graduating from normal school, I was assigned to a remote town as a middle school teacher. The school arranged for me to take a math class in Grade Two and be the head teacher of Class Five in Grade Two. There is a classmate in my class named Wang Peng, who impressed me the most. This is not because the student studies well, but because his family is poor. Every time the school pays, he is a famous "nail house".

As soon as the second semester begins, the school requires students to buy school uniforms. All the other students paid all the money within the prescribed time limit, but he was all right. Once after class, Wang Peng followed me into the office in tandem. From his hesitant words, I finally understood that he wanted to borrow 100 yuan from me. Borrow it. It's my hard-earned money for a month. Don't borrow it, because I'm afraid of leaving a bad reputation of being stingy among students. Finally, I gritted my teeth and took out a hundred dollars from my wallet and handed it to him. After receiving the money, he said "thank you, teacher" and turned away.

A week has passed, and he has no intention of paying back the money. Two weeks passed, and his eyes looked at me a little evasively. Before the end of the third week, the students dropped out. It pains me for a long time to think that my 100 yuan will really go to waste.

One weekend three years later, it rained heavily and I was taking a lunch break in my room. After a quick knock on the door, a "drowned rat" broke in from the outside. Before I could speak, "a drowned rat" spoke: "Teacher Zhang, I am your student Wang Peng. I borrowed one hundred yuan from you three years ago. My family has been in a bad situation these years. Father is gone, and mother is often ill. I can't afford it. This hundred dollars has been pressed in my heart like a mountain for several years. Now I work in Xi 'an. I just paid my first month's salary today and ran back to pay you back. " With these words, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, then bowed to me, turned around and disappeared into the heavy rain.

I am a teacher, engaged in teaching and educating people for more than ten years. I didn't expect a child who hasn't graduated from junior high school to give me the most important lesson in life. This lesson is worth studying and thinking about all my life.

A story about honesty 10 A customer walked into an auto repair shop and claimed to be the driver of a transportation company. "Write more parts on my bill. After I go back to the company for reimbursement, you will have benefits. " He said to the shopkeeper. But the owner refused such a request. The customer pestered and said, "My business is not small. I will come here often. You can definitely make a lot of money! " "The shopkeeper told him that this could never be done. The customer shouted angrily, "Anyone can do this. I think you are too stupid. " The shopkeeper was so angry that he asked the customer to leave at once and talk about it elsewhere. At this time, the customer smiled and shook the owner's hand admiringly: "I am the boss of that transportation company. "I have been looking for a fixed and trustworthy repair shop and will come here often in the future!"

In the face of temptation, I don't feel heartbroken and confused about it. Although it is as plain as a cloud and as simple as running water, it makes people appreciate a kind of high mountain and deep sea. This is a shining character-honesty.

The story about honesty 1 1 Yu Li recorded a story about losing his life because of breaking his promise. Once upon a time, a businessman in Jiyang sank while crossing the river. He grabbed a hemp pole and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound. The businessman quickly shouted: "I am the richest man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 100 two gold. " . After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned his face and refused to admit it. He only gave the fisherman 10 two gold. The fisherman accused him of breaking his word and going back on his word. The rich man said, "You are a fisherman. I can't make much money in my life. Is it not enough to suddenly get twelve taels of gold? " The fisherman had to leave disgruntled. Unexpectedly, the rich man capsized in the same place again. Someone tried to save him, and the fisherman he cheated said, "He is the man who broke his word!" " "So the merchant drowned. It is accidental that the businessman capsized twice and met the same husband, but it is expected that the businessman will not be rewarded. Because if a person does not keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. So, once he is in trouble, no one wants to rescue him. Those who break their promises to others, once in trouble, have to sit still.

Story about Honesty 13 Honesty is a traditional virtue handed down from generation to generation by the Chinese nation. People, based on honesty, take faith as the sky. Society needs honesty, and our children need honesty more. As early as ancient times, Confucius said, "People without faith don't know what they can do." Now listen to my honest story!

My grandfather runs a grocery store. Because he is always hospitable, honest and trustworthy, his business is booming. This is not, but also won the honorary title of "integrity shop"! This good news can make grandpa happy for several days! The plaque of "Honesty Store" hung on the wall of the store, shining in the sun. Grandpa's eyes narrowed when he saw the words "integrity shop"!

From the opening of the store to now, it has been calm. Recently, however, a grocery store opened next to my grandfather's house, and the originally prosperous business suddenly faded a lot. That day, when my grandfather was sorting things out, he found a box of milk that was one day overdue. He frowned and muttered, "Alas, it will take another day to work hard." Say that finish sighing and walked away.

Just then, a neighbor's grandmother came in and asked for a box of milk. My eyes lit up and I thought, "Grandpa loves me so much that I just …" But then I thought, "No, I'm a young pioneer. I shouldn't do such a thing. " But at the thought of grandpa's frowning brows, I didn't care about anything. I carefully handed the box of milk to grandma. Looking at grandma's distant back, the big stone in my heart fell to the ground, and a trace of pride passed through my heart.

After a while, grandpa came back. I went up and said, "Grandpa, I have helped you get rid of that box of expired milk."

"What? What are you talking about? " Grandpa stared at me. I proudly told grandpa what just happened. I thought he would praise me, but unexpectedly, his face sank, his voice increased by eight degrees, and he shouted at me, "You, you are not helping!" How can this be worthy of the title of' integrity shop'? "I was shocked. My grandfather has loved me since I was a child, and he has never yelled at me so loudly.

I cried with a "wow". Grandpa was silent for a while, touched my head and said earnestly, "I taught you to be honest and trustworthy from an early age." I wasted a box of milk. Although I feel bad, I can't hurt others with this expired milk! " You have always been wise. Here, exchange a box of fresh milk for that box of expired milk. "I pursed my lips and felt wronged." Didn't I do it for you? Grandpa said: "I know you are angry with me, but think about it, honesty is priceless, it is a huge wealth, we can't lose big because of small!" "Let's change that box of expired milk together later, shall we?"

Listening to grandpa's words, I looked up at the plaque of "Honesty Store" hanging on the wall. At this time, the plaque seems to have lost its former luster and become dull. I took the fresh milk from my grandfather and walked with him to my neighbor's grandmother's house. ...

Back in the store, grandpa squinted at me. Looking up, the plaque of "Integrity Store" on the wall is so dazzling under the sunlight! Honesty is an eternal song in my heart!

The Story of Honesty 14 Historical Records Volume 32 Qi Taigong Family records:

(Qi Xianggong) Twelve years. At the beginning, Minister Xiang even said that he was in charge of his father's Kwai Shan defense, and the melons went from time to time to replace them. When you are one year old, you will be rewarded. Or ask for it, Gong Fushi. So, in a rage, they quarreled because of Sun's ignorance. ..... or see people in the room, hair, is "xianggong", then kill it, and ignorance for Qi Jun. ..

This historical record is that in the Spring and Autumn Period, King Zhuang of Zhou was nine years old. Qi joined forces with Song, Lu, Chen and Cai to attack Wei. After the fall of Wei, Qi Xianggong, the warlord of Qi, worried that the King of Zhou would send troops to attack, so he sent a doctor to call the general to take charge of the military forces in the remote place of Kwai Qiu. Before leaving, the two generals asked Qi Xianggong, "Although border defense is difficult, as your courtiers, I dare not refuse. It's just that we have to stay there for a while. What is your master's deadline? " At that time, Qi Xianggong was eating melons, so he said, "Now is the ripe season for melons. When the melon is ripe again next year, I'll send someone to replace you. "

The two generals then led the troops to station troops in Kwai Qiu. Unconsciously, a year passed. Due to the busy military affairs, the two generals gradually forgot the agreement with Qi Xianggong before they left. Suddenly, one day, his soldiers presented the newly ripe melon to two generals for them to taste. At this time, the two generals remembered their agreement with their master, and homesickness arose. I can't help thinking, "It's time to change jobs. Why didn't your master send someone to replace us? " So I specially sent my confidant to the capital to inquire about the situation, and learned that the master and his half-brother Wenjiang had fun together all day and turned a blind eye to state affairs. The two generals were very angry: "You enjoyed all the splendor in the capital, and let us suffer in the frontier, protecting your safety with our lives. I didn't expect to send someone to replace us!" So, he sent someone to Qi Xianggong to give him a ripe melon, hoping that the owner would remember their agreement before they left after seeing this ripe melon, and asked someone to be stationed at the border defense instead of them. When Qi Xianggong saw this melon, he was very angry and said, "It was my idea to replace it, and it should be my decision. Why do you ask? " ! Wait until the melon is ripe again next year before sending someone to replace you! "

When the two generals heard the news, they gnashed their teeth with anger and immediately plotted to rise up. Then he secretly joined forces with Sun Ignorant, killed him and made Sun Ignorant the new monarch.

A generation of monarchs angered the people and ruined their lives because they didn't speak good faith and broke their promises. How hateful, how sad, how miserable!

Two days before the story of honesty 15, I wrote a post entitled "Talking casually", which was very smug. As everyone knows, that pride was quickly dispelled by a sentence in a student's composition: Teacher, you said you would show me your article "Feelings on a Snowy Day". Why haven't you shown it to me?

Huh? Yes, how could I completely forget this promise! Although that was only the reply after an article written by this classmate a few weeks ago: Snowy days may not be as interesting as you said, right? I will show you my article on the feeling of heavy snow in the future.

Maybe it's just a whim. The letter is handwritten. This "promise" made casually didn't really stay in my heart, but stayed with the composition that was revised and sent. I didn't know that the students were eagerly waiting for me to show it to her. What am I if I don't break my word?

Keep your word. A word spoken is past recalling. Not everything can be said casually.

Since ancient times, the story of Ceng Zi's wife has been circulated. Ceng Zi is a student of Confucius. One day, Zeng's wife was going to the street, and the child left crying. Zeng's wife told the child not to make trouble and promised to kill the pig for him when she came back. It seems that she is not going to keep her promise. Because when she got home, she saw that Zeng Zi was really going to kill pigs, and immediately stopped it, saying that she was just joking with the children. Ceng Zi said: If parents break their promises to their children, they will teach them to cheat. Say that finish, kill the pig.

Thinking of this, I resolutely wrote on the students' composition: I'm sorry, I almost stood you up. I must give you the article before the holiday. ...
