End of essay on traditional Chinese virtues

I was y touched after reading the short stories about traditional Chinese virtues.

For example, I read "Kong Rong Gives Pear". Kong Rong gave the bigger pear to his younger brother and kept the smaller one for himself. This story tells us one of the traditional Chinese virtues: thinking more for others and less for oneself.

Another example is reading "Crouching Ice for Carp". Wang Xiang's stepmother was sick and wanted to eat fish, so Wang Xiang lay down on the iceberg to melt the ice with his own warmth, and used his hands to catch fish in the freezing cold water....... In this way, this story tells us another virtue: filial piety. Wang Xiang did filial piety, but he paid a lot of ...... Although the times are moving forward at a rapid pace, but to my relief, these virtues are still passed down. For example, in the public **** transportation, always see some lovely Shanghai people to give up their seats, every beggar passes, some caring people will always throw some change. But the "little yueyue" event let us heartbreaking, let us reflect: the world is not really started indifference? In ancient times, I believe this kind of tragedy never happened. The 18 people who were indifferent, is it possible that they did not reflect on it?

I was y touched by reading the short stories of traditional Chinese virtues. Especially the story of Zeng Zi killing a pig.

This story is about: Zeng Zi's wife went to the market to go to the market, and his son cried and wanted to follow. His mother told him to stay at home and kill a pig for him to eat when she came back. When Zeng Zi's wife came back from the market, she saw Zeng Zi trying to catch a piglet to kill. She said it was just a joke with the child. Zeng Zi said that children are incapable of thinking and judging, and that they should learn from their parents and listen to the right teachings given by them. Now she deceives him, which is teaching the child to deceive. When a mother deceives her son, the son no longer trusts his own mother, and this is not the right way to teach a child. So the pig was killed, boiled and eaten.

This story reveals that we should not go back on our word, we should keep our promise, and we should not take the position of an elder to deceive the younger generation, so as not to cause bad influence. In real life, there have been instances where words were broken and parents have cheated their children, but it is important to distinguish between right and wrong, whether they are doing you good or bad for you. In most cases, parents do not ever intend to deceive their children. And in this article, the mother just don't let the child get into trouble deceiving the child is intentional.

There are many profound truths in traditional Chinese virtue stories. The return of the scholar to his hometown is also one of them.

Wang Yigong, the new scholar, went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. He declined the banquet and silver gifts from the government and county magistracy, changed into his usual clothes, and walked into the city when the crowds that greeted him did not notice him. From this, we can see that Wang Yifa was a very low-profile person, which can be seen when he walked past the welcoming crowd as if nothing had happened, when he changed into his usual clothes, and when he declined the gifts of silver and banquets. This is a very valuable virtue, and acting in a low profile shows that he did not like to put on a show and official appearance, and was not a person who bullied the small and the big. Wang Yigong became a scholar, his talent will not be less, but I believe he will be a good official also when a clear and honest official. Keeping a low profile is also a very good habit. In modern times, there are many officials can not do, because they want to become an enviable person, whenever they drive on the street is people will pay attention to him, they should think that they are very beautiful! But I think this is not good, you can become an official that you have the ability to serve the people this is your duty, not something you should show off.
