The story of twenty-four filial piety in ancient China

Twenty-four Filial Piety 1) A native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period was a proud disciple of Confucius. He was bold, brave and very filial. In the early years, my family was poor, and I often picked wild vegetables to cook, but I went home from a hundred miles away to serve my parents. After his parents died, he became a big official and was ordered to go to Chu, with hundreds of chariots and horses and accumulated as much as 10 thousand grain. Sitting on a piled brocade mattress and eating a sumptuous banquet, he often misses his parents and laments, "Even if I want to eat wild vegetables, where can I get them?" Confucius praised: "You served your parents best when you were alive, but you missed them after you died!" " ("Confucius family language? To think ") 2) Taste shit and worry. South Qi Gao Shi Qian Lou was appointed as Yiling County Magistrate. Less than ten days after taking office, I suddenly felt scared and sweaty. I had a premonition that something had happened at home, so I immediately resigned and returned to China. When I got home, I realized that my father had been seriously ill for two days. The doctor said, "To know the condition, just taste the patient's feces. It is bitter." Qian Lou went to taste his father's excrement and found it very sweet. He is very worried. At night, he bowed down to the Big Dipper and begged to die for his father. A few days later, my father died, and the Bird House buried my father and raised him for three years. 3) Huang Tingjian, a famous poet and calligrapher, was born in Fenning (now Xiushui, Jiangxi) in the Northern Song Dynasty. Although he is in a high position, he still tries his best to serve his mother. He personally washes the drowning device (toilet) for his mother every night, and forgets his son's duties every day. 4) Seize the tiger and save his father Yang Xiang in the Jin Dynasty. When I was fourteen, my father and I went to the field to cut rice. Suddenly, a tiger came running, threw his father down and took him away. Yang Xiang is unarmed. In order to save his father, regardless of his own safety, he quickly rushed forward and grabbed the tiger's throat with all his strength. The tiger finally put down his father and ran away. 5) Huai Ju, a native of Huating (now Songjiang, Shanghai), was a scientist in Wu and Wu counties during the Three Kingdoms period. At the age of six, he went to Jiujiang to see Yuan Shu with his father Lu Kang, and Yuan Shu took out oranges to entertain him. Lu Ji hid two oranges in his arms. When he left, the orange fell to the ground. Yuan Shu sneered: "When Lu Lang came to my house, did you have to hide his master's oranges when you left?" Lu Ji replied, "My mother likes oranges, and I want to take them back for her to taste." Yuan Shu was surprised to see that he knew how to be filial to his mother at an early age. After Lu Ji became an adult, he was knowledgeable and familiar with astronomical calendar calculation. He once wrote the map of the muddy sky, annotated the Book of Changes and wrote the Annotation of the Xuanjing. 6) Wood carving is near Ding Lan. Legend has it that he was born in Hanoi in the Eastern Han Dynasty (now north of the Yellow River in Henan Province). His parents died when he was young. He often misses his parents' upbringing, so he carved a statue of his parents out of wood. Everything is like life, and he negotiates with the wooden statue. He only eats three meals a day after honoring his parents. He must tell them before going out and see them when he gets home. He never slacks off. For a long time, his wife didn't respect the wooden statue very much, but curiously used the fingers of the wooden statue to acupuncture, and the fingers of the wooden statue actually bled out. When Ding Lan came home, she saw the tears in the eyes of the wooden statue and asked the truth, so she abandoned her wife. 7) crying bamboo shoots Meng zong, a native of Jiangxia, Three Kingdoms. His father died when he was a teenager, and his mother was seriously ill. The doctor told him to make soup with fresh bamboo shoots. It was winter and there were no fresh bamboo shoots.

After a while, he suddenly heard a crack on the ground and saw some tender bamboo shoots growing on the ground. Meng Zong was overjoyed and picked it back to make soup. After drinking it, his mother really recovered. Later, he became an official. 8) Lu Yishun, whose mother was a native of the Spring and Autumn Period and a disciple of Confucius, was addressed as Yan Yuan by Confucius. Confucius once praised him and said, "Filial piety, Min Zikai!" ("The Analects? Advanced "). His biological mother died young, and his father married a second wife and gave birth to two sons. His stepmother often abuses him. In winter, the two younger brothers wore cotton winter clothes, but gave him a "cotton coat" made of reed flowers. One day, when my father went out, Min Min was shivering with cold while pulling a cart. He threw the rope to the ground and was reprimanded and whipped by his father. Lu Hua flew out with a crack, and his father knew that Min had been abused. Father wants to divorce his stepmother when he comes home. Shen Min knelt down and begged his father to forgive his stepmother, saying, "I am the only one who is cold when I leave my mother. My three children will be cold when I divorce my mother." Father was very moved and obeyed him. When the stepmother heard about it, she regretted her mistake and treated him as a parent. 9) Deer milk was born in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Later, the family became poorer and his wife gave birth to a boy. Guo Ju is worried that raising the child will inevitably affect his mother's support. He discussed with his wife: "A son can have another one, but his mother can't be resurrected after death. It is better to bury his son and save some food to feed his mother. " When they were digging a hole, they suddenly saw a golden altar two feet underground, which read: "Guo Ju is a godsend, officials should not accept it, and people should not accept it." Husband and wife get gold, go home to honor their mother and have children at the same time. 1 1) sold his body and buried his father Yong Dong.

Summary: "Filial piety" is the essence of China traditional culture. "Twenty-four Filial Pieties" is a masterpiece of Chen Shaomei at the age of 465,438+0. Its theme is rare, its brushwork is elegant, its color is gorgeous and unusual, so it can be called a national treasure. The last thing in the world that can't wait, I personally think it should be filial piety. In China, "filial piety of all virtues comes first" and "twenty-four filial piety" have always been recited by China people, and people with filial piety are praised. In Water Margin, the fake Li Kui jy met the real Li Kui jy, and he was killed without forgiveness, but the sentence "There is an 80-year-old mother at home" left a life. Two days ago, it was reported on TV that a black sheep beat his parents, which made it difficult for them to survive and killed them by mistake. During the trial of the case by the court, the neighbors signed a letter asking the court to forgive the two old people and unanimously condemned the evil deeds of the black sheep. The human heart is a staff, and the star is "filial piety." "Some people don't disapprove of filial piety, but think it can wait. For example, when I was at school, I felt that my parents were young and strong, making money for their children to study, and they didn't need filial piety; After taking part in the work, I think my parents are free from illness and worry. I am married and have children to bring up my family, so I don't care about filial piety. Middle-aged people, children are not married, too hard inside and outside, unfilial; In a blink of an eye, I am over half a year old, my temples are frosty, my legs and feet are slow, and I have no ability to be filial. . . . . . So filial piety can't wait. I have seen many people grieve over the death of the old man, beating their chests and feet, blaming themselves for not waiting for the old man to live, and so on. It is too late to know filial piety until parents die. What did you do before? As a teenager, I think it is filial piety to use slippers to help my parents clean the table, sweep the floor and pour a glass of water. When you grow up, if you get married and have children, you should appreciate the kindness of your parents. Even if your parents are healthy and free from diseases, you should always take your wife and belt home. This is also filial piety. Filial piety is filial piety, and there is nothing to talk about. Filial piety is not difficult. Making the elderly happy is filial piety. Filial piety can't wait, it should always be observed and practiced for life. Did you do it?
