Who are the two men who gave their lives?

Sacrifice refers to Zuo He in the Western Han Dynasty.

The turning point of sacrificing one's life, one of the turning points of worship, comes from the allusion of "Zuo Yang". According to legend, in the Western Han Dynasty, Zuo met him, and they went to see Wang (a vassal state of the Han Dynasty) together. On the way, they met with heavy snow. At that time, they were wearing thin clothes and didn't have enough food. Zuo gave all his clothes and food to make friends, and hid himself in an empty tree and committed suicide. Later generations called this intimate friend with profound friendship "Zuo Yang".

At present, it is believed that "the friendship between the sheep and the left" originated from the story of the Martyrs Biography (also known as the Martyrs Biography) in the Western Han Dynasty (the Martyrs Biography has been lost, and there are excerpts in later literature and history materials).

The combination of Zuo Yang and Zuo Yang comes from Liu Jun's "On the Wide Break-up": "I don't want to be kind, I want to plan ahead, I want to help the villa clean up the dust, and Zuo Yang's emblem is strong." Note of the Tang Dynasty: The Legend of Martyrs says:, and Zuo are best friends. When they heard about the sage of Chu, they went to look for him. When they encounter rain and snow, they can't find a way out. They just whined for food and clothing and died in the tree. " "

More specifically, in the 19th note [4] of Book 29 of the History of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of Shen Bao's Yong Yi, Tang Lixian quoted: Biography of Martyrs said: "Being friends with Zuo is blocked if you want to be an official in Chu. They can't walk in the rain and snow, they are hungry and cold, and they can't be born. " Tao Bo summoned the horn to mourn, saying,' When you die, you can't take back your bones. If you ask your heart, it's better to know than to be a son. I am very happy in the tree, because I am afraid it is useless to abandon my son.' Hearing this, Tao Bo fell into a tree and died. King Chu Yuan loved sages who mourned in the corner, and the above-mentioned Qing people paid tribute to Tao Bo. Jiao Ai said, "Thanks to Meng Zi's thick burial, it's close to the shogunate to clear the hall. On the 15th of this month, when the war is over, we will see. "At the end of the mourning period, Chen committed suicide at the grave."
