Honesty and trustworthiness: the story of Zeng Zi

On one occasion, Zeng Zi's wife was going to the market to buy something, and her young son cried and wanted to go too. She said to the child, "Wait for your mother at home, and when she comes back, she will ask your father to kill a piglet for you to eat. The child stopped crying. When she came back from the market, Zengzi was sharpening his knife and preparing to kill the pig. She hurriedly said to Zengzi, "You can't kill the pig, I'm just playing with the child. Zeng Zi said, "How can an adult be faithless to a child? If a mother does not keep her word, her child will break it. You cannot go back on your promise to your child. Zeng Zi's wife nodded her head in agreement, and together with Zeng Zi, they killed the piglet.

A few short stories of honesty and trustworthiness

Honesty is loyalty and uprightness, consistency in word and deed, and consistency in appearance. Honesty is to keep one's word and not to be hypocritical or fraudulent. "Words must be faithful, actions must be fruitful", "a word is out, a team of horses can not catch up" these ancient sayings that have been passed down for thousands of years, are a graphic expression of the quality of the Chinese people's honesty and trustworthiness. Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, people have not only sung the praises of honesty and trustworthiness, but also worked hard to practice it.

Confucius taught his disciples to be honest more than 2000 years ago. In learning, say you know what you know and say you don't know what you don't know. He believed that this was the right attitude towards learning.

Zeng Zi was also a very honest and trustworthy person. Once, Zeng Zi's wife had to go to the market, and the child cried and wanted to go too. The wife coaxed the child, saying, "Don't go, I'll come back and kill a pig for you to eat. When she came back from the market, she saw that Zeng Zi was really going to kill the pig and rushed forward to stop him. Zeng Zi said, "If you cheat the child, the child will not trust you. With that, he killed the pig. Zeng Zi did not cheat the child, and also cultivated the child's character of trustworthiness.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu, who always emphasized promises and kept his word. People say that "it is better to get a hundred pounds of gold than to get a promise from Ji Bu". This is the idiom of the help of friends, only to be spared. And there is a letter, will naturally get everyone:

In the old days, the doorway of the Chinese store, generally written with "the real price, and the boy and the girl," eight since ancient times in the purchase and sale of goods, on the promotion of fair trade, honesty and hospitality, do not defraud, do not fake the industry morality.

In contemporary China, the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness has also been carried forward. This virtue is manifested in work and study, that is, concentrated, serious and practical, seeking truth from facts; manifested in interactions with others, that is, treating people with sincerity and trusting each other; manifested in the treatment of the state and the collective attitude, that is, law-abiding, loyal and honest.

Indomitable

Qiao Xuan, an official of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a man of honorable character and cynical. Once, a group of robbers tied up his ten-year-old son and brought him into his house, asking Qiaoxuan, who was ill, to immediately take money to ransom him, which was angrily rebuked by Qiao-Zhi. In a short time, the officials and soldiers surrounded the house of the bridge, for fear that the robbers would kill the son of the bridge straight, hesitate to take action. At this point, Qiaoxuan angrily shouted, "Can I let this gang of bad guys go because of my son's life?" He urged the officers and soldiers to hurry up and do it. As a result, Qiaoxuan's son was killed by the bandits. People praised Qiaoxuan for being "indomitable" and always maintaining his integrity. Folding: frustration. Flex: to bend.

Indomitable: describing the fact that no matter how many setbacks one endures, one will never give in or retreat.

Carving wood to serve his parents

Ding Lan, according to legend, was a native of Hanoi (north of the Yellow River in present-day Henan Province) during the Eastern Han Dynasty. His parents died when he was a child, and he often thought of his parents' nurturing grace, so he carved the statues of his parents out of wood, and he did things as if he were alive, discussing everything with the wooden statues, and he ate his own food after he honored his parents with his three meals per day and he was sure to report to his parents before he left the house, and he was sure to see them after returning home, and he was never lax in doing so. Over time, his wife on the wooden statue will not be too respectful, and even curiously use a needle to prick the wooden statue's fingers, and the wooden statue's fingers actually have blood flow. Ding Lan went home and saw tears in the eyes of the wooden statue, and asked for the truth, so he repudiated his wife.

Modesty and courtesy

China has always been known as the "State of Manners". As a specific behavior, "etiquette" refers to the civilized behavior of people in dealing with others, which is now called politeness. The essence of politeness is to show respect and friendliness to others, a psychological need that transcends time and is everlasting. However, a person who only understands the form of politeness but not the heart of humility will not really know politeness. Humility is also the expression of modesty and equality, which is an important connotation of politeness. Modesty and politeness contains the pride and pride of our ancestors in their natural culture, and is one of the fundamental characteristics that make Chinese people Chinese.

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

One day, they were driving to Jin. One day, they were driving to Jin, and a child was blocking their way by piling up stones and tiles in the middle of the road. Confucius said, "You shouldn't play in the middle of the road and block our car!" The child pointed to the ground. The child pointed to the ground and said, "Old man, what do you see here?" Confucius looked at it and saw that it was a city made of broken tiles. The child added, "Do you think it should be the city giving way to the car or the car giving way to the city?" Confucius was stumped. Confucius thought the boy knew how to be polite, so he asked, "What is your name? How old are you?" The boy said, "My name is Xiang Zu, and I am seven years old!" Confucius said to his students, "Xiang Sui is seven years old and knows how to be polite, he can be my teacher!"
