What are the famous stories of filial piety in history?

1, abandon the official to find the mother

Zhu Shouchang was born in the Song Dynasty. At the age of seven, his biological mother Liu was jealous of his first mother (his father's wife) and had to remarry. For 50 years, the mother and son couldn't hear each other's voices.

During the reign of God, Zhu Shouchang was an official in North Korea. He used to write the Diamond Sutra and look for his birth mother everywhere. After getting the clue, he decided to give up his official position and go to Shaanxi to find his birth mother, vowing never to come back until he saw her. I finally met my biological mother and two younger brothers in Shaanxi. Mother and son get together and come back together. At this time, my mother was over 70 years old.

2. Bury the children and serve the mother

Guo Ju (now from Linzhou City, Henan Province), who was concerned about the country and people in Jin Dynasty, had a well-off family. After his father died, he divided his property into two parts and divided it between his two younger brothers. He takes care of his mother alone and is extremely filial to her. Later, the family became poorer and his wife gave birth to a boy. Guo Ju's mother loves her grandson very much. She is always reluctant to eat, but she left her only food to her grandson.

Guo Ju was deeply disturbed and felt that raising the child would inevitably affect his mother's support. He discussed with his wife: "A son can have another one, but his mother can't be resurrected after death. It is better to bury his son and save some food to feed his mother. "

When they were digging a hole, they suddenly saw a golden altar two feet underground, which read: "Guo Ju, the son of God, is not desirable for officials and people." Husband and wife get gold, go home to honor their mother and have children at the same time. From then on, Guo Ju not only lived a good life, but also spread the reputation of filial piety all over the world.

3. Wash the drowning device

Huang Tingjian, a famous poet and calligrapher, was born in Fenning (now Xiushui, Jiangxi) in the Northern Song Dynasty. Although he is in a high position, he respects his mother. Every night, he personally washes chamber pot for his mother, and not a day goes by without forgetting his son's duty.

4. Nurses are not lazy

Cui Shannan, whose real name is Yan and the word is Shun Zhi, was born in Boling (now Hebei) in the Tang Dynasty and served as the official of Shannan West Road, so he was called "Shannan". At that time, Cui Shannan's great-grandmother, Mrs. Sun, was old and lost her teeth. Her grandmother, Mrs. Tang, is very filial. After washing her hands every day, she goes to class to feed her mother-in-law. A few years later, Mrs. Sun stopped eating other meals and kept healthy.

When Mrs. Sun was seriously ill, she called the whole family together and said, "I can't repay the kindness of the bride. I hope the bride's children and daughter-in-law will respect her as much as she respects me. " Later, Cui Shannan became a big official, and as expected, he addressed his grandmother, Mrs. Tang, as instructed by his grandson.

5. Worried about tasting feces

Yu, Gao Shi of Nanqi, was appointed as the magistrate of Yiling County. Less than ten days after taking office, I suddenly felt scared and sweaty. I had a premonition that something had happened at home, so I immediately resigned and returned to China. When I got home, I realized that my father had been seriously ill for two days.

The doctor said, "To know the condition, just taste the patient's feces. It is bitter." Qian Lou went to taste his father's excrement and found it very sweet. He is very worried. At night, he bowed down to the Big Dipper and begged to die for his father. A few days later, his father died, and Qian Lou buried his father and raised him there for three years.
