Who are the celebrities about traditional etiquette?

1. Honesty and courtesy-Yan Zhaowang's pursuit of virtue.

Since Meng Changjun was removed, Qi Min and Chu Weiwang destroyed the Song State and became more arrogant. He was bent on annexing the nations and came to heaven himself. Gal, governors of all countries are not satisfied with him; Yan, especially the northern part of Qi, was bullied by Qi and wanted revenge.

Yan is a big country. Later, it spread to kuài, and after listening to the bad guys' ideas, he actually learned the legendary method of Yao Shun's abdication and gave the throne to Xiangguozi. General Yan and Prince Ping attacked the son, and the state of Yan was in chaos. In the name of pacifying the civil strife in Yan State, Qi State entered Yan State, and Yan State almost perished. Later, the soldiers and civilians of Yan made the prince the monarch, rose up and drove the army of Qi out.

Prince Ping acceded to the throne, that is. He made up his mind to make Yan strong. He made up his mind to find talents to govern the country, but he didn't find the right person. He was reminded that Guo Kun, an old minister, was quite knowledgeable, so it was better to ask him.

Yan Zhaowang personally went to see Guo Kun and said to him, "I will never forget the humiliation of Qi invading us during the civil strife in our country. But now Yan's national strength is weak, and it is not yet possible to avenge it. If a wise man comes to avenge me, I would rather wait on him. Can you recommend such talents? "

Guo Kun touched his beard and said thoughtfully, "I don't know whether to recommend ready-made talents." Please allow me to tell a story first. " Then, he told a story:

In ancient times, there was a monarch who liked swift horses. He sent people everywhere to look for it, but he couldn't find it for three years. A courtier found a precious swift horse somewhere far away and told the monarch that he could buy it back by giving him 1200 gold. The monarch was very happy and sent his courtiers to buy it with 1200 gold. Unexpectedly, when the courtiers arrived, Maxima had died of illness. The courtiers thought it was not good to go back empty-handed, so they took out half the gold they brought and bought the horse bones back.

The courtiers presented the horse bones to the monarch, who was furious and said, "I want you to buy a live horse." Who asked you to spend money to buy back the useless horse bones? " The courtier said unhurriedly, "People have heard that you are willing to spend money to buy a dead horse, and you are afraid that no one will send a live horse?"

You presided over the skepticism and no longer blamed the courtiers. As soon as the news spread, everyone thought that the monarch really loved swift horses. Within a year, several swift horses were sent from all directions.

After telling this story, Guo Kun said, "Your Majesty must be thirsty for talents. It is better to try me as a horse bone."

Yan Zhaowang was greatly encouraged. After he came back, he immediately sent someone to build a very exquisite house for Guo Kun to live in and worshipped Guo Kun as his teacher. When the world's talents heard that they were sincerely recruiting talents, they ran to Yan to inquire. One of the most famous is Zhao. Yan Zhaowang worshipped Le Yi as Yaqing and asked him to rectify national politics and train the army. Yan is really getting stronger every day.

At this time, Yan Zhaowang saw his arrogance and unpopularity, and said to him, "Now the King of Qi has no choice, and it is time for us to avenge ourselves. I plan to mobilize the people of the whole country against Qi. What do you think? "

Le Yi said: "Qi has a vast territory and a large population. I'm afraid we can't fight alone. If the king wants to attack Qi, he must unite with other countries. "

Yan Zhaowang sent Zhao to contact King Zhao Huiwen, sent someone to contact Han and Wei, and asked Zhao to contact Qin. These countries do not like the hegemony of Qi, but are willing to send troops with Yan.

In 284 BC, he became a general, commanding the armies of five countries and defeating Qi.

When King Qi Min heard that the five-nation allied forces were calling, he also panicked. He gathered all the military forces in the country to resist the allied forces and fought a battle west of Jishui. Because Le Yi was good at commanding, the morale of the five horses was high, and the Qi army was defeated. King Ji Min fled back to Linzi.

Soldiers from Zhao, Han, Qin and Wei won the battle and occupied several cities in Qi, so they didn't want to fight any more. Only Le Yi refused to give up. He personally led the army of the Yan State, and marched into the country, laying a solid foundation for the capital of Qi State. King Qi Min had to escape and was finally killed in Cheng Ju.

He thought that he had made great contributions and personally went to the water's edge to enjoy the merits, and was named King Chang.

2. Unity and Friendship-Calm Liu Mingchuan

Liu Mingchuan, the governor of the Qing court in Taiwan, was a great hero in the construction of Taiwan Province, and he urged the construction of the first railway in Taiwan Province. There is an intriguing story about the appointment of Liu Mingchuan: When Li Hongzhang recommended Liu Mingchuan to Zeng Guofan, he also recommended two other Jinshi. In order to test which of them has the best personality, Zeng Guofan specially asked them to go to Zengfu for an interview at a certain time. But at the appointed time, Zeng Guofan deliberately refused to let them wait in the living room, but secretly observed their attitude carefully. I saw that the other two seemed impatient and kept complaining; Only Liu Mingchuan enjoyed the calligraphy and painting on the wall quietly and calmly. Later, Zeng Guofan questioned the calligraphy and painting in their living room, and only Liu Mingchuan could answer. As a result, Liu Mingchuan was recommended as the governor of Taiwan Province.

Note: People who have no patience will definitely lack the spirit of perseverance and overcoming all difficulties, and naturally they will not achieve anything great. If you want to make a difference in the future, you must first temper your patience and perseverance.

3. Diligence and self-reliance-bear the burden of humiliation

Lu Xun was born in Wuxian (now Suzhou, Jiangsu Province) and Wujun in the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Lingshi was appointed General Sun Quan's office first, then a captain of Haichang wasteland, and was also in charge of county administration. After years of drought in the county, he opened a warehouse to help the poor. Persuading farmers to supervise mulberry trees has achieved outstanding results. At that time, in Wu Jun, Huiji and Danyang, mountain thieves harassed and violated people. Lu Xun was allowed to recruit soldiers by himself, go deep into the pass and annihilate them one by one, and was promoted to a captain in Ding Wei, stationed in Lipu.

Monroe, the commander-in-chief guarding Lukou, planned to seize Jingzhou and threatened to return to Jianye (now Nanjing), the capital of Wu State, sick. Lu Xun went to see him and said to him, "Your defense is connected with Guan Yu. Why don't you leave far away? " It's really worrying that we can't find a suitable replacement. "Lv Meng said," You are absolutely right, but I am very ill. " Lu Xun said, "Guan Yu is used to bullying others with his courage. Today, he has made outstanding achievements in attacking Fancheng, driving seven armies, chopping Pound and escaping from the ban. We are arrogant and relaxed, and only concentrate on the Northern Expedition, ignoring us. When we hear that you are ill, we will be even more unprepared. If we attack suddenly, we will succeed. When you see the Lord, you should make a good decision. When Monroe met Sun Quan, he recommended Lu Xun to succeed him, and said, "Lu Xun's strategy is far-reaching, so he can undertake heavy responsibilities. He has no reputation, and Guan Yu won't care about him. If he is appointed and told to act quietly and secretly, he will surely succeed. "Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the right general to replace Lu Meng in guarding Lukou." When Lu Xun arrived at Lukou, he wrote to Guan Yu, praising his merits and expressing his gratitude for the strong protection of the allied forces. The wording is extremely modest. Guan Yu once despised Lu Xun, thinking that he was just a scholar and an afterlife. I am very happy after reading the letter, and I am no longer prepared. Lu Xun reported Sun Quan and put forward the strategy of attacking Jingzhou. Sun Quan secretly mobilized the army and sent Lu Xun and Lu Meng as pioneers. As soon as he sent his troops, he attacked public security and Nanjun, and then captured Yidu, Fangling and Nanxiang. Guan Yu got an emergency report at the front line of Fancheng and hurried back to the division, but he was already in a dilemma. His soldiers gradually dispersed, and finally defeated Maicheng, and was stopped by Pan Zhang, the general of the State of Wu. Jingzhou all fell into the hands of Soochow. Lu Xun was promoted to General Right and General Zhenxi for his contribution, and was appointed as Lou Hou.

In order to avenge the deaths of Guan Yu and Jingzhou, Liu Bei personally commanded 700,000 troops to crusade against Wu Dong. Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the viceroy and commanded 50,000 troops to resist. From Wuxia, Jianping to Yiling 700 Li, Liu Bei first sent Wu Ban to lead thousands of people to camp on the flat land, showing the weakness and challenges. Wu Jun generals have asked to go to war. Lu Xun said: "There must be intrigues here. Our army can only stick to it and wait for the situation to change. " Sure enough, Liu Bei ambushed heavily in the valley, but he had to give up because of the failure of luring the enemy. Lu Xun thought that Liu Bei's army was in full swing when it first arrived, and should avoid confrontation. The enemy can't fight. After a long stalemate, they naturally relax and then capture the fighters. However, the generals of his subordinates did not understand his intentions, thinking that he was afraid of strong enemies, timid and afraid of war, and they were all resentful and dissatisfied. Some of these generals are old generals of Sun Ce's time, some are officials and nobles, so they all rely on their own status and don't want to obey orders. Lu Xun declared sharply: "Although I am a scholar, I accepted the heavy responsibility of the country. The reason why the country wronged you to listen to my restraint is because I have some advantages and can bear the burden of humiliation. Everyone should be responsible for strictly guarding the customs and not moving. The military law is ruthless and cannot be violated! " Later, Liu Bei moved the camp to the mountains. Tracing the cause attacked the camp with fire for 700 miles and pursued it. The Shu army was defeated, and Liu Bei fled back to Baidicheng overnight.

Kong Rong gave up the biggest pear.

Kong Rong (153—208), a native of Lu (now Qufu, Shandong), was a famous writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the seven sons of Jian 'an. His literary creation was highly praised by Wei Wendi Cao Pi. According to historical records, Kong Rong was not only very clever when he was young, but also a typical example of paying attention to brotherhood, mutual help and friendship.

When Kong Rong was four years old, he often ate pears with his brother. Every time, Kong Rong always takes the smallest pear. Once, my father saw it and asked, "Why do you always take the small one instead of the big one?" Kong Rong said, "I am the younger brother, and I am the youngest. I should eat the small one and let the big one be eaten by my brother! "

At an early age, Kong Rong learned the truth of mutual courtesy, mutual help, unity and friendship between brothers and sisters, which surprised the whole family. Since then, Kong Rong has spread the story of pears for thousands of years, becoming a model of unity and friendship.

Standing outside the door on a snowy day, waiting for Cheng Yi (Cheng Yi) to wake up and teach-respect the teacher and emphasize the road.

The story of "Snow at the Gate" comes from "Biography of Shi Yang in Song Dynasty": "I met Cheng Yi in Luo, when I was forty years old. One day I saw H, and I sat with Youzuo. By the time I felt it, the snow outside the door was already a foot deep. "

"Pear in Cheng Menxue" is about Shi Yang and You Zuo, scholars of the Song Dynasty, asking Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi for advice. Shi Yang and You Zuo studied under Cheng Hao. After Cheng Hao's death, both of them were forty years old and had been admitted to Jinshi. However, they will go to Cheng Yi to continue their studies. The story happened on the day when they first visited Cheng Yi in Songyang Academy.

According to legend, one day, Shi Yang and You Zuo came to Songyang Academy to visit Cheng Yi, and they happened to meet Mr. Cheng, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed. At this time, it began to snow outside. Eager to be a teacher, the two men stood aside respectfully and said nothing. After waiting for a long time, Cheng Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw You Zuo standing in front of him. He was startled and said, "Ah, ah! Are they still there? " At this time, the snow outside has accumulated more than a foot thick, and He Youzuo doesn't look tired and impatient.

This story, called "Cheng Menxue Pear", was widely circulated among scholars in the Song Dynasty. Later, people often used the idiom "Cheng Menxue Pear" to express that scholars should respect their teachers and study sincerely and firmly.

Ceng Zi avoided the seat.

"Ceng Zi is not at his seat" is a very famous story in the Book of Filial Piety. Ceng Zi is a disciple of Confucius. Once he sat next to Confucius, and Confucius asked him, "The king of the sages has supreme virtue, and he needs mysterious theories to teach people all over the world and make people live in harmony. There is no dissatisfaction between the monarch and the minister." Do you know what they are? " Hearing this, Ceng Zi understood that Confucius wanted to point out the deepest truth in his heart, so he immediately stood up from the mat where he was sitting, walked outside the mat and respectfully replied, "I'm not smart enough. How can I know?" Please ask the teacher to teach me these truths. " Here, "avoiding the seat" is a very polite behavior. When Ceng Zi heard that the teacher was going to teach him, he stood up and went to the mat to ask the teacher for advice to show his respect for the teacher. Ceng Zi's polite stories are told by later generations, and many people learn from him.

Sean is a master.

Sean was a strategist of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Western Han Dynasty. His ancestors were Koreans. After Qin destroyed Korea, he decided to avenge South Korea. Once, because of the attempted assassination of Qin Shihuang, he was hunted down and took refuge in Xiapi.

Sean has nothing to do next time. One day, while walking on Xiapi Bridge, he met an old man wearing a coarse cloth and a short coat. He walked beside Sean and deliberately dropped his shoes under the bridge. Then he turned to Sean and said, "Son! Get off the bridge and pick up my shoes! " Sean was shocked and wanted to give him a beating, but when he saw that he was an old man, he held back his anger and picked up the shoes under the bridge. The old man ordered again: "put on your shoes!" " "Sean thought that since he picked up the shoes, he might as well put them on, so he knelt on the ground and put them on himself. The old man put out his foot and asked Sean to help him put it on. Then he left with a smile. Sean has been watching his whereabouts with surprised eyes. The old man walked down the corridor, then turned to Sean and said, "You are a child who can be trained to be a successful person. Meet me here at dawn in the morning five days later! " Sean knelt down and said, "Yes." At first light on the fifth day, Sean arrived at Xiapi Bridge. Unexpectedly, the old man was already waiting there. When he saw Zhang Liang, he said angrily, "Why are you late for your date with the old man? Come back the next morning on the fifth day! " Say that finish and left. On the morning of the fifth day, as soon as the chicken crowed, Sean rushed over, but the old man was waiting there again. When he saw Zhang Liang, he said angrily, "Why did you fall behind me again? "Come early in five days!" Then he left again. On the fifth day, Sean arrived at the bridge before midnight. After a long wait, the old man came. He said happily, "Great." Then he took out a book, pointed to it and said, "If you study this book carefully, you can be the emperor's teacher!" " ! In ten years, the world will change and you will be rich. In the next 13 years, you will see a piece of Yellowstone at the foot of Gucheng Mountain in Hebei County. "The old man said and went away.

At dawn in the morning, Sean took out his book and read it. It turned out to be Sun Tzu's Art of War (assisted by Zhou Wuwang)! Sean cherishes it very much, often reads it carefully, and studies and studies it repeatedly.

10 years later, Chen Sheng and others rose up against the state of Qin, and more than 100 people responded. Pei Gong Liu Bang led thousands of troops and captured some places west of Xiapi. Sean joined him and became his subordinate. Since then, he has often given advice to Pei Gong according to Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Pei recognized it as very good and often adopted his strategy. Later, he became Liu Bang's strategist who strategized and won thousands of miles. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he was named Liu Hou.

Sean will never forget the old man who taught him the art of war. 13 years later, when he followed Liu Bang through Jibei, he saw a yellow stone at the foot of the ancient city mountain and took it back, calling it "Huang Shigong", which was a treasure and sacrificed on time. After Sean died, his family buried Yellowstone National Park with him.

Send goose feathers a thousand miles away ―― Small gifts send distant feelings.

The story of "sending goose feathers a thousand miles away" took place in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, a minority leader in Yunnan sent a special envoy to Mian Bogao to offer a swan to Emperor Taizong.

When passing by Mianyang, kind Mian Bogao released the swan from its cage and wanted to give it a bath. Unexpectedly, the swan soared into the sky. Mian Bogao was busy reaching for it, only pulling out a few goose feathers. Mian Bogao was so anxious that he stamped his feet and beat his chest, crying bitterly. His entourage advised him, "It's no use crying because it has already flown away. Let's think of a remedy. " Mian Bogao thought, also can only be so.

In Chang 'an, Mian Bogao met with Emperor Taizong and presented a gift. Emperor Taizong saw that it was a delicate satin bag and opened it. At first glance, it is just a few goose feathers and a poem. The poem says: "Swan pays tribute to Tang Dynasty, the mountain is high and the road is far. Mianyang River lost its treasure and fell on the ground crying. After the Emperor of Heaven, Mian Bogao was spared. The ceremony is light and affectionate, and the goose feathers are sent thousands of miles. " Emperor Taizong was puzzled, and Mian Bogao immediately told the story. Emperor Taizong repeatedly said, "What a treat! It's commendable! Send goose feathers a thousand miles away, and the ceremony is light and affectionate! "

This story embodies the precious virtue of the giver's honesty. Today, people use "a thousand miles to send goose feathers" to describe the gift as thin, but the affection is extremely deep.
