The story of the ancients honoring their parents

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a dutiful son named Yang Xiang (now a native of Qinyang, Henan). At the age of fourteen, he often followed his father to harvest crops in the fields. One day, suddenly a tiger took his father away. At that time, Yang Xiang was unarmed, but he deeply knew that he had to save his father.

So regardless of his own safety, he immediately climbed up the tiger's back and gripped the tiger's neck tightly. The tiger finally let go and ran away. His father escaped from the jaws of death and saved his life. There is a poem that says:

The mountains meet the white forehead and struggle against hurricanes;

Father and son are safe and sound, out of the jaws of death.

2. Colorful clothes support relatives

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Yang, who was very poor, but very filial, and supported his parents by begging. So people call him Yang Qi. All the food he asked for was taken home to his parents. His parents didn't taste it. He was hungry and didn't dare to taste it first. If there is wine, kneel down and hold it to your parents. When your parents take the cup, they will get up and sing and dance like children, which makes your parents very happy.

Some people sympathize with his poverty and suggest that he work for others and support his relatives with his income. Yang Qi replied, "My parents are old. If they work for others and are too far away from home, they cannot serve them in time. " The listener thinks he is really a dutiful son. Later, when his parents died, he begged for a coffin burial. On the first and fifteenth day of the first month, I went to the grave with food to cry and sacrifice. There is a poem praising Yue.

Begging for wine, respecting relatives, singing and dancing to learn the charm;

Entertainment is wonderful, it will bring laughter, and the spring breeze will keep blowing all over the room.
