In recent years, people's call for honesty has become more and more intense. Perhaps this is not because the record of honesty of the ancient people in China is much better than it is now, but that people's awareness of honesty is slowly awakening. This is just like a cake. Earlier, there was actually no cake in front of us, so everyone was in harmony and there was nothing to argue about. Now we live in an era where there is probably a cake for everyone to distribute, but the cake is not big enough, which can't guarantee that everyone can get a piece of satisfaction. Moreover, there are no particularly clear and credible rules for dividing the cake. As a result, all beings are fighting for each other and even cheating on each other. Naturally, there are fewer cakes for others. In this period, people's call for honesty is the most urgent. With the gradual prosperity of society, the cake is bigger, the rules of cake sharing are clear, and social integrity will be much better. Therefore, China people are calling for honesty so urgently, not retrogression, but that we are climbing the slope.

In ancient times, when Du Fu said, "There are thousands of spacious buildings, and all the poor people in the world are happy", he was very painful as one of the poor people. When Bai Juyi sang, "I don't know that the cold people should be warm, so don't make people's clothes lichen", I believe that he is sincere despite his high rank and thick. Because we were once too poor, honesty may always be a luxury in our dreams.

Now that China has gradually become rich, the problem of honesty has suddenly emerged. We are surrounded by all kinds of dishonest enterprises and individuals, and all kinds of extremely imaginative deception, such as putting some washing powder in steamed bread; Feed some lean meat essence to pigs or inject more water; It's amazing to feed some birth control pills to turtles and eels. The false advertisements, products and profits of various enterprises are endless, so that some people initiate the search for respectable listed companies in China stock market. Why is honesty suddenly lacking and we call for it so urgently?

At present, people's desire for honesty is actually prophetic. If we still have nothing, or we have to fight for private repairs, then our own consciousness of respecting life, property and freedom will still be asleep. It is precisely the 2 years of reform and opening up that have awakened people's sleeping consciousness. When we wake up, we are in an era when the cake is not big enough, so there are all kinds of dishonest disputes. In fact, behind it, it is just a profit! But this is still a progress rather than a retrogression. We often say that the United States waited for the honesty of its citizens to be silly, but Americans were not so honest a hundred years ago. In the past, toilet paper, tea cups and even towels disappeared from American motels, which was almost commonplace. After the material wealth was abundant, such theft of small property was much less. The same is true in many places in China, such as Jinjiang, Fujian, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and so on. Their local products used to be synonymous with counterfeiting, but now that the local economy and the rule of law have developed to a certain stage, they themselves have to pay attention to honesty, and they are very different from Amon in the Wu Dynasty. This is probably what we mean by having enough food and clothing and then knowing the honor and disgrace, and then knowing the etiquette!

how to call for the return of honesty? There is a two-handed policy, of course, one hand is to make a big cake, so that every citizen can at least have a share of food and clothing, which is about "development is the last word"! The other hand is to establish the rules for dividing cakes, otherwise it will be difficult for individuals and enterprises to have a foundation of honesty. How can a cake be divided fairly? This requires a balance mechanism of power. For example, when one person has the right to cut the cake first, another person should have the right to pick the cake first, so that a cake can be divided evenly. Without the power of checks and balances, we can't expect the power owner to use power humbly and cautiously, but will mostly abuse power for personal gain. In this way, in the process of dividing cakes, if the rules are not followed, the cornerstone of social integrity will be very unstable, and ultimately it will affect the hard work of the people to make big cakes.

Therefore, if China calls for honesty, he needs to "grasp with both hands and be hard with both hands". Without the rules of honesty, the society will degenerate into the state of Liangshan in Shui Bo. Even a gentleman can only eat meat in large pieces and drink in a big bowl, otherwise others will implement "a gentleman can bully him"; With the rule of good faith, everyone can be credible in behavior whether they are willing or not. Both hands are hard, that is to say, it is hard to develop the economy and improve the framework of the market economy. The erosion or lack of government integrity has always been a fatal weakness of social modernization and civilization.

the theory of honesty in ancient and modern times

I remember Confucius once said, "If you keep your word, you will get what you do, but you are a villain!" I don't agree with that. Sometimes I think, could it be that the disciples misremembered the teacher's words when compiling The Analects? If Mr. Kong was on the boat, he would never leave the backpack with "honesty". I believe that.

China has a tradition of "keeping promises", and maybe it is more trustworthy than the Germans. There are many examples in the Warring States Policy, not to mention the extreme example of "holding the post at the tail". It's enough to make the younger generation proud! But strangely, on the contrary, the subsequent evolution was unexpected. First of all, everything is done by Han Feizi to dispel "honesty"; Later, many political strategists regarded Confucius' doubtful words at the beginning as the standard. It is no wonder that Kang Youwei wrote a book "A Test of New Learning and Pseudo-Classics", saying that the Analects of Confucius was forged by later rogues. There are many examples of this change in literary works. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su's honesty is obvious to all, and in the end he ended up with a comment by Mao Zonggang: Loyalty is a useless alias. It's a little sad. Who are you sad for? Lu Su or Mao Zonggang?

I may have gone too far, but I'm really disappointed. The New Culture Movement has swept away all these bad "cultures", which is a great good thing and deserves clapping. The next task we face is to try our best to advocate the fine tradition of "honesty-oriented" and "keeping promises and keeping promises" and do it in person. Let me say one thing here, which may be worth pondering. A freshman went to Peking University to report for duty. There was a lot of business that day, such as getting a meal ticket, getting a student ID card, making the bed and buying a thermos bottle ... The freshman was carrying heavy luggage and didn't know what to do. It happened that an old man came across the street. The freshman thought it was a workmate, so he asked the old master to look after my luggage, okay? The old man said yes. Later, the freshmen went to work. From morning to evening, the freshmen suddenly remembered that their luggage was still being watched by the old man at the school gate. He ran to the school gate full of guilt and didn't hold out much hope. Who knows that the old man is still waiting for him trembling, and his white hair is floating in the wind. Tears of new life suddenly came out.

Only at the entrance ceremony the next day did the freshmen know that the old man was Ji Xianlin, a famous scholar and vice president of Peking University.

A few years later, the freshmen also graduated, and the old headmaster may be looking after the luggage for someone who just reported for duty. The new student is my brother, and his eyes are still shining with tears when he says this.

What a good example the older generation left us! Most of the old dross are eliminated, and new fashions are taking shape. What we young people should do is self-evident. When writing this article, Kant's famous saying echoed in my mind: "The starry sky overhead and the moral law in my heart also make us awe." Of course, we can't forget Ji Lao's silver silk fluttering in the wind ...

Five bright hearts

Story A

In the storm, three old people are huddled in an umbrella and pale with cold. Although they were sitting under the eaves, the rain kept hitting their faces and bodies. By this time, their clothes were soaked through.

However, they didn't care about themselves. Three pairs of eyes were staring at the square in front, where two bicycles were parked and covered with their only raincoats. The owner of the car has not come to pick it up yet. "Maybe it's trapped by the rain?" They said, but no one wants to go first. The cold wind blew in waves, and the rain came again and again. However, none of them got up, and three pairs of eyes were still staring at two bicycles not far away.

are they just after a few cents?

Story B

He is sitting in front of the TV with two lottery tickets in his hand. He bought this this afternoon, but one of them was bought for their section chief. He has marked it.

it's time for the lottery. He looked at the lottery ticket in his hand with rapt attention: "One digit, two digits, three digits … Ah, none of them are bad!" " However, in an instant, he was silent again, because the winner was the marked one.

he lowered his head and buried his face deeply in his hands. He thought of his home: his wife was laid off, his son was in the third year of high school, and he was not well off, which could even be described as poverty; He thought of the section chief again, and their home was magnificent; He also thought about how he would spend the money ...

However, in the end, he picked up the lottery ticket and walked out of the house firmly ...

Story C

When he arrived at the wholesale station, he skillfully parked his motorcycle and entered the gate.

When he came to the liquor cabinet, he greeted the smiling face of the wholesaler and smiled: "As usual, bring me a batch of goods." The wholesaler still smiled: "I'm not talking about you, Lao Li. The last batch of goods was snapped up as soon as it arrived. I specially left some for you, but you didn't want it." Well, it's just some water. What are you afraid of? Now I have a new batch here. Do you want it? "

"thanks, I still don't want it." His voice is not loud but firm. The wholesaler shook his head, looking helpless.

three stories and five honest hearts are not touching, but the feelings are true. Isn't that what people live for?

Ten cents and "honesty"

A philosopher once said that human realm can be divided into five kinds, and the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty is the highest realm. The "truth" among them is "honesty". Among the seven life backpacks of health, beauty, honesty, alertness, talent, money and honor, we can discard beauty and be humble, money and be poor, honor and be ordinary, but we must not discard honesty.

honesty can be emotional. Boya, Ziqi, a fiddler, a listener, the clothes are fluttering, the wind is clear and the clouds are light, so they became bosom friends in the mountains and rivers, and solemnly agreed; Later, the old friend passed away and there was no bosom friend. Boya would rather break the piano. This "agreement" and "breaking the piano" is the integrity of friendship.

Honesty can also be used for career. Fang Zhimin, a selfless party member, wrote a simple and touching suicide note: "I have handled millions of money, but I know it is the hard-earned money of ordinary people, which is used for the revolutionary cause." I believe these words will make today's "outstretched hands" ashamed. This suicide note embodies the sincerity to the people and the revolutionary cause set when taking the oath of joining the party, and it is difficult to spend thousands of dollars!

maybe you will say: I understand the honesty to my bosom friend and the honesty to my career; But after all, it is too noble to reach! If that's the case, then you can at least start with "a dime" to embrace honesty ...

There was once such an old lady who was as poor as a church mouse. She pieced together a wholesale store for spare parts, and after many years, she was rich. Why so far? Because she firmly believes that there is integrity in "a dime", that is, each box of parts only earns a dime. Once, the buyer miscalculated the money, and the old lady immediately transferred several trains and returned the money herself. Today, the illiterate old lady still lives a poor life many years ago, still insists on the integrity of "a dime" and has never been "dizzy" because of her wealth. When someone asked her why she did this, she just said, "I feel comfortable."

a mere dime is nothing to mention, but how much philosophy it contains! Nowadays, the material has become more and more rich, but what should be more "rich" should be our spiritual home! The word "person" supports each other; Everyone is in society, so why not give each other more "honest" support?

Honesty and success are linked together. It may bring people great wealth, that is, "money"; Perhaps it is success, that is, "learning only"; Perhaps it is immortal, that is, "honor" ... However, all this is not the most fundamental, but the most fundamental is the sublimity of the soul and the richness of the spirit. So, my friends, please pack up your "honesty" bags, even if it is only related to "a dime" ...

Zhu Gui opened a shop

It is said that after Liangshan heroes were recruited, they all lived a good life with their own skills, being officials and serving the people. This Zhu Gui opened a hotel in Liangshan. After he came back, he thought about going back to his old job.

money is not a problem when opening a shop. When the company breaks up, it is enough to distribute silver. What is important is how to get customers. In the past, he was the only one in the stockade, belonging to the "trust", but now under the condition of market economy, the problem is difficult.

Zhu Gui then pulled away his leg. He first asked Sun Erniang, who has the most experience in opening a hotel. Er Nian Feng Mei picked it up, put it in Zhu Gui's ear and spit out a word: "Rape!" Zhu Gui pondered and nodded thoughtfully.

Zhu Gui went to consult Lu Zhishen, who frequented the hotel. Hearing this, the "Flower Monk" said carelessly, "Cudgel, to tell you the truth, this shop needs people to be beautiful and fragrant, nothing else."

Then, Zhu Gui went to several brothers and made a laundry list of "suggestions".

the hotel is open. The building is five-star, the chef is from the palace, and the young lady is also a pink peach blossom. However, this price is also too high: the palace jade liquor, a cup of 188; Lamian Noodles, the imperial capital, spent 999.

on the first day of business, the income was 18, yuan, and the situation was gratifying.

on the second day of opening, it declined somewhat, and it was barely passable.

on the third day, we were unable to make ends meet. Don't worry, it's a "bear market" and needs to rebound.

But as the days passed, the situation in this hotel just didn't get better. Zhu Gui was so worried that he was "emaciated" that his waistband was so thin that he could think about it, but he didn't know what was wrong.

One day, Lu Junyi came. This "Jade Kirin" used to be a big official, and he had a research on eating nature. Zhu Gui hurriedly ordered serving. Just after eating a few mouthfuls, Mr. Lu frowned, looked around the deserted hotel, and realized seven or eight points in his heart. He said to Zhu Gui, "I don't have any silver with me today, so I might as well give you some words!" Zhu Gui's little abacus rattled in his heart, so he should pay someone to inscribe it. Lu Junyi picked up a lot of ink and shook his wrist slightly, and eight powerful Chinese characters came to the fore: genuine goods, honesty. Zhu Gui lost sleep that night.

A month later, Honesty Snack Bar opened. The building is not five-star, but clean; There are no young ladies, some are laid-off women; The cook is not a royal chef, but he tastes real and has enough weight. The owner is still Zhu Gui.

I heard that business is booming ...

[Brief comment] This article wins by surprise. It is difficult for the narrative of "new stories" to be self-explanatory, to fit the theme and to match the specific situation of the original. The plot created by the author through The Water Margin, though starting from an obscure character, is tied to many characters in Liangshan, Shui Bo, with a simple tone and outstanding personality. What is more valuable is that he is good at expelling the original works from the pen, flying smart and witty; Not limited by the original, the writing is eclectic, ancient and modern, illusory and true, showing a rare calm and self-confidence. This is the realm that can only be achieved by intensive reading of literary masterpieces and good comprehension. It can be seen that if you are comfortable in the examination room, you should take the rich accumulation and aesthetic edification as the "confidence" before you can "activate" your life experience and cultural accumulation in a short time and turn it into a strange article.
