Virtue story

Traditional virtue story 1 Modest and courteous

China is known as the country of etiquette. As a concrete behavior, politeness refers to people's polite behavior when interacting with others, that is, politeness at the moment. The essence of politeness is to show respect and friendliness to others. This psychological need is beyond the times and eternal. However, if a person only knows the form of politeness and has no humility, then he will not really know politeness. Humility is also the expression of modesty and equality, and it is an important connotation of politeness. Modesty and courtesy contain the pride of our ancestors in natural culture, which is one of the fundamental characteristics of China people becoming China people.

A seven-year-old teacher

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius and his students traveled around the world to publicize their political opinions.

One day, they drove to the state of Jin. A child was playing with rubble tiles in the middle of the road, blocking their way. Confucius said: You shouldn't play in the middle of the road and block our car! . The child pointed to the ground and said, Grandpa, what do you think this is? The first thing Confucius saw was a city made of rubble bricks. The child added: Do you think the city gives way to the car or the car gives way to the city? Confucius was puzzled. Confucius thought the boy was very polite and asked, What's your name? How old are you? The child said: My name is Xiang Tuo, and I am 7 years old this year! Confucius said to his students: Xiang Tuo knew manners at the age of seven, and he can be my teacher!

Traditional virtue story 2 respects the old and loves the young.

There is an old saying in China: Filial piety comes first. Filial piety is the first of all virtues. If a person does not know how to honor his parents, it is hard to imagine that he will love his motherland and people.

The ancients said: I am old and people are old; Young people, young people, young people. We should not only honor our parents, but also respect other old people, care for young children, and create an honest folk custom of respecting the old and loving the young in the whole society. This is the responsibility of our students in the new era.

Once, my elderly parents wanted to eat rice, but there was no rice at home. What should I do? Lutz thought, if he climbed several mountains and borrowed some rice from relatives, wouldn't he be able to meet his parents' requirements?

As a result, Xiaozi walked more than ten miles across the mountains and returned a small bag of rice from his relatives' home. Seeing that his parents ate delicious rice, Luz forgot his fatigue. The neighbors all praised Luz as a brave and filial child.

Traditional virtue story Chapter 3 Study hard.

There is a road in the mountain of books, but there is no limit to learning the sea. The spirit of self-improvement of the Chinese nation is particularly prominent in diligent reading. Whether it is a politician who is good at governing the country or a narrow-minded strategist; Both thinkers with quick thinking and scientists with superior intelligence are outstanding in their careers, which are inseparable from their lofty aspirations since childhood. As the saying goes: where there is a will, there is a way; Where there is no will, it is always determination and your youth.

As long as you make up your mind and work hard, no matter how difficult it is, you can succeed.

Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, didn't like reading when he was a child. One day, while the teacher was not at home, he sneaked out to play.

He came to the river at the foot of the mountain and saw an old woman grinding an iron pestle on a stone. Li Bai was puzzled and asked, "Old woman, what are you doing grinding the iron pestle?" ?

The old woman said: I am grinding the needle. Li Bai asked in surprise: Oh dear! The iron pestle is so thick, how can it be ground into a needle? The old woman walked over and said, as long as the pestle can be ground more and more finely every day, are you still afraid that it is not a needle?

Li Bai, a clever man, was ashamed of himself after hearing this. He turned and ran back to the bookstore. From then on, he kept in mind that as long as he worked hard, the iron pestle was ground into a needle and studied hard, he eventually became a famous great poet.
