What are the short historical stories about civilized manners?

Kong Rong has five brothers and one younger brother. One day, I ate pears at home. A plate of pears was placed in front of everyone, and my brother asked my brother to take it first. Guess what pear Kong Rong is holding? He doesn't pick the good ones, he doesn't pick the big ones, he only takes the smallest ones.

Dad was very happy after seeing it. Although the child is only four years old, he is really sensible. He deliberately asked Kong Rong, "There are so many pears, you should take them first. Why not take the big one and only the smallest one? "

Kong Rong replied: "I am young and should bring the youngest;" The big one is for my brother. " The father asked him again, "You still have a younger brother, isn't he younger than you?" Kong Rong said, "I am older than my brother. I'm my brother. I should leave the old one to my brother. "

You see, how well Kong Rong speaks. His father smiled: "Good boy, good boy, really good boy." Kong Rong is four years old and knows how to make pears. Make way for brothers, make way for brothers. Everyone speaks highly of him.

2. Chengmen Sydney

Once, Shi Yang and You Zuo came to visit their teacher Cheng Yi, but when they saw their teacher sitting asleep, they couldn't bear to disturb their teacher, so they stood by and waited patiently for their teacher to wake up and began to snow heavily.

Besides, the situation is getting worse. Shi Yang and Youzuo didn't leave. When Cheng Yi woke up, the snow outside was already a foot deep. Therefore, this matter, as a model of respecting teachers and attaching importance to morality, has become a much-told story in academic circles.

3. Taste the soup.

In 202 BC, Liu Bang established the Western Han regime. Liu Heng, the fourth son of Chinese Emperor Liu Bang, is a famous dutiful son. Liu Heng was very filial to his mother, Empress Dowager Cixi, and never ignored her.

Once, his mother was very ill, which worried Liu Heng. His mother was ill for three years and was bedridden. Liu Heng personally boiled medicine soup for her mother and guarded her bedside day and night.

Every time I see my mother asleep, I lie by her bed and sleep for a while. Liu Heng decocts medicine for his mother every day. Every time he finishes frying, he always tastes it first to see if the soup is bitter and spicy. He thought it was almost enough and gave it to his mother.

Liu Heng's filial piety to his mother is widely circulated in the ruling and opposition circles. People all praised him as the son of Renxiao.

4. Exchange respect for respect

In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a man named Lu Xiaohui, who was brilliant, knowledgeable and polite.

He has a long history under several kings and can be said to be a man of great power. However, he never thinks highly of himself and visits his officials. Regardless of the size of officials, he treats them with courtesy and does not put on airs at all. If the guest leaves, he will stand up and personally escort him to the door.

An assistant saw this incomprehensible scene and said to him, "Lu Chang is a historian with a high status. He is polite to everyone, even to the people." It's beneath his dignity, and he gets nothing. Why bother Chang? "

Lu Xiaohui smiled disapprovingly and said, "I want everyone to respect me, so I must respect everyone."

Lu Xiaohui followed this principle all his life, so he was respected and supported by many people, and his achievements far exceeded others.

5. Ceng Zi avoided the seat.

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 seats" 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.
