Confucius respects teachers.

In the spring of 52 1 BC, Confucius learned that his students had been ordered by the king of Lu to pay homage to the emperor in Luoyang, Kyoto, Zhou Dynasty. He thought it was a good opportunity to ask Laozi, the guardian of Tibetan history in the Zhou Dynasty, about "etiquette", so he agreed with Lu and went with the palace. The day after Confucius arrived in Kyoto, he went to the Tibetan History Museum on foot to visit Laozi. Lao Zi, who is writing the Tao Te Ching, heard that the world-famous Kong Qiu came to consult, so he quickly put down his knife and pencil and adjusted his clothes. Confucius saw a healthy old man coming out of the gate, thinking it was Laozi. He hurried forward and respectfully paid tribute to one of Lao Zi's disciples. After entering the hall, Confucius bowed again before sitting down. Laozi asked Confucius why he came. Confucius left his seat and replied, "I have little knowledge and know nothing about the ancient' etiquette system', so I specially asked the teacher." Seeing that Confucius was so sincere, Lao Tzu expressed his views in detail.

After returning to Lu, Confucius' students asked him to explain Laozi's knowledge. Confucius said, "I am a good teacher, knowing the past and the present, the source of rites and music, and the return of virtue." At the same time, I praise Laozi as an example. He said: "bird, I know it can fly;" Fish, I know it can swim; Beast, I know it can run. I can weave a net to catch a running beast, I can tie a swimming fish to a hook to catch it, and I can shoot a flying bird with a good arrow. As for the dragon, I can't know how it took the wind and cloud to heaven. Laozi, it's still evil! "

A short story of civilized etiquette

Civilized speech and elegant manners are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. If a person can be eloquent, gushing, earnest and inspiring, it not only shows his profound cultural heritage, but also reflects his noble moral quality. A warm word, a thoughtful look, seemingly insignificant, actually has far-reaching significance. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang vividly expressed his sincere heart of serving Shu and his general plan of governing the country by the way of heaven and earth with the article "A Model". However, who is not moved by the beautiful language in his article? Thus becoming one of the many beautiful essays left in the history of China literature. Twenty years ago, I said, "Hello, Xiaoping!" The reason why it has spread all over the country and penetrated into thousands of households lies in its simple and true language, which not only embodies the affirmation and support of the people of the whole country for Grandpa Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening up, but also expresses the infinite reverence and love of the people of the SAR for Grandpa Deng Xiaoping.

Emperor Han Ming respects his teacher very much.

When Emperor Liu Zhuang was a prince, Dr. Huan Rong was his teacher. Later, he succeeded to the throne and became emperor. He once went to Taichang House in person, sat in the east of Huanrong, set up a few sticks, and listened to the teacher's instructions as he did in the past. He also called hundreds of North Korean officials and students taught by Huan Rong to the Taichang Hall to pay tribute to his disciples. When Huan Rong was ill, Ming Di sent someone to offer condolences, and even went to see the teacher himself. Every time I visit my teacher, Ming Emperor City gets off the bus as soon as he enters the street to show his respect. After entering the door, I often hold the teacher's skinny hand and cry silently for a long time. The emperor of the dynasty did this to Huan Rong, so "the assistant ministers, generals and doctors who asked for illness were afraid to come to the door by car again, and they all worshipped under the bed." After Huan Rong's death, Ming Di changed his clothes, attended the funeral in person, and made proper arrangements for his children.
