What stories did the ancients tell about helping others?

Stories about the ancients' willingness to help others include giving charcoal in the snow, Wang Xizhi helping people sell fans, intensive cultivation to save lives, Xin Gong changing bad habits, and Kong Rong letting pears. Details are as follows:

1, timely help.

During the Warring States Period, it snowed heavily in Chu in winter. In Chu Huaiwang's palace, people found a fur coat and put it on the fire, but it was still very cold. Then Chu Huaiwang thought that without fire and fur coats, my people would be colder. So he ordered to send carbon for heating to the poor, and the people were very moved.

2. Wang Xizhi helps people sell fans.

One day, Wang Xizhi met a poor old woman on the road and went to the market to sell a basket of bamboo fans, but no one went to buy them, so he helped her write on each fan. After people knew it, they gathered around to buy it, and a basket of bamboo fans was quickly snapped up. The old woman waiting to buy rice was very happy and thanked the helpful calligrapher.

3. It is urgent for Yan Zhi to save lives.

One day, Yan saw a man lying on the ground by the river, his clothes were tattered and his face was swollen. Only after asking did I know that this man was surnamed Huang, a native of Jingzhou, and went out to help because his family was poor. Recently, I was seriously ill and was thrown ashore by my owner who was eager to hurry.

Yan Zhi took this man home for treatment. A year later, the patient surnamed Huang recovered. In order to thank Yan, he knelt down and sincerely expressed his willingness to stay in Yan's house as a slave for life in return for saving his life. Yan declined, and offered him money and dry food to go back to his hometown.

4. Xin Gong changed his bad habits.

Xin Gongyi was once the secretariat of Zhou Min, but the local people had a bad habit. Everyone is afraid of getting sick at home, and nobody cares. Without care and treatment, patients often get worse and die soon.

Xin Gongyi was informed of the situation after taking office, and ordered the patients to be taken to the yamen to live with hundreds of patients and personally arrange for them to see a doctor and take medicine. After careful nursing, all these patients recovered. Xin Gongyi's behavior not only won people's praise, but also completely changed the local bad habits.

5, Kong Rong let pears.

Kong Rong was smart and studious when he was a child. By the time he was 4 years old, he had been able to recite many poems and verses, and he knew manners. His parents liked him very much. One day, my father bought several pears and specially chose the biggest pear for Kong Rong. Kong Rong shook his head, picked the smallest pear and said, "I am the youngest, so I should eat a small pear. Give your pear to my brother. " Father was very surprised after hearing this.
