Classical Chinese texts that embody truth

1. Classical Chinese essays about horses

A blessing in disguise. Original text: For those who are close to the fortress and have good skills, the horse dies for no reason and enters the wild.

Everyone paid tribute to him, and his father said: "How can this suddenness not be a blessing?" After staying for a few months, his horse returned with Hu Junmao. Everyone congratulated him, and his father said, "Why can't this cause disaster?" The family was rich and had a good horse, and his son was good at riding it, but it fell and broke his hip.

Everyone was worried about him, and his father said: "Why is this not a blessing?" After one year of residence, a large number of barbarians entered the fortress, and the strong men led the strings to fight. Nineteen of those who were close to the fortress died.

Because of his lameness, father and son protect each other. Translation: Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived in a border area adjacent to the Hu people. Passers-by called him "Sai Weng" respectfully.

Sai Weng is optimistic by nature and has a unique way of dealing with people. One day, for some unknown reason, Sai Weng's horse got lost while grazing and could not come back.

After the neighbors learned the news, they expressed their regrets. However, Sai Weng did not take it seriously. Instead, he comforted everyone: "Losing the horse is of course a bad thing, but who knows whether it will bring good results?" Sure enough, within a few months, the horse The lost old horse ran back from outside the wall and brought back a horse ridden by a barbarian.

So the neighbors came together to congratulate Sai Weng and praised him for his foresight when he lost his horse. However, at this time, Sai Weng said worriedly: "Hey, who knows whether this will bring disaster to me?" Sai Weng's family added a horse that was ridden by a foreigner, which made his son overjoyed. , so I rode horses every day and never tired of it.

Finally one day, his son got carried away with his pride and fell off a galloping horse, breaking one of his legs and leaving him disabled for life. After hearing the news, the kind-hearted neighbors rushed to express their condolences, but Sai Weng still said the same old saying: "Who knows whether it will bring good results?" Another year passed, and the Hu people invaded the Central Plains in large numbers, and the situation at the frontier was... Due to the sudden shortage, able-bodied young people were conscripted into the army, and nine out of ten died on the battlefield.

Because Sai Weng's son was lame, he was exempted from military service, so the father and son were able to avoid this life-and-death disaster. Han Yu There was Bole in the world, and then there was the thousand-mile horse.

A thousand-mile horse always exists, but a thousand-mile horse does not always exist. Therefore, even though there is a famous horse, it will be killed in a stall and is not called a thousand-mile horse. A horse that travels a thousand miles can eat as much grain or stone as it eats.

Those who eat horses don’t know that they can run a thousand miles. However, even though this horse has the ability to run a thousand miles, it is not full of food, lacks strength, its talent and beauty are not visible, and it is not possible to be like an ordinary horse. Do you want it to be able to travel thousands of miles? If the horse is not driven according to the right way, if the food is not used to its full potential, if the sound of the horse is not understood, then it will come to him and say: "There is no horse in the world!" Woohoo! Is there really no horse evil? In fact, I really don’t know about horses! Notes ① Bole: A native of Qin Mu Gong during the Spring and Autumn Period, his surname was Sun and his given name was Yang. He was good at looking at horses. ②. Only: Same as "only", just.

Humiliation: humiliation, burying. ③. Parallel: in pairs.

Stable: Originally refers to the food container for raising animals, here it refers to the place where horses are raised. ④. Don’t call it a thousand-mile horse: don’t call it a thousand-mile horse.

To, to, is a preposition. Praise, praise, praise.

⑤. Thousand-mile horse: The horse (among them) can run a thousand miles. Yes, particle.

In this sentence, "horse" and "thousand-mile person" are partly compound referents. ⑥. One meal: Eat once.

Or: Sometimes. Eat all the millet and one stone: eat up one stone of millet.

Complete, complete, used as a verb here, which means "eat all". Stone, ten buckets of stone.

⑦, food: same as "feed", feeding. ⑧. It: refers to a thousand-mile horse, a pronoun.

Able to travel a thousand miles: Able to walk a thousand miles. ⑨, is: this, demonstrative pronoun.

10. Ability: talent. ⑾. Talent and beauty should not be shown externally: Talents and strengths cannot be shown externally.

See, same as "appear", reveal. ⑿, and: will.

Desire: Want, want. Wait: Quite.

Not available: Impossible. De, can, means that objective conditions allow it.

⒀, An: How, where, interrogative pronouns. ⒁, policy: control.

It refers to a thousand-mile horse, a pronoun. In its way: use (treat) its method.

⒂. Make the best of it: give full play to its talents. Cai, the same as "cai", refers to the ability to travel thousands of miles.

⒃, Mingzhi: shout at it. Understand its meaning: communicate with its mind.

⒄. Implementation: Holding a whip. Ce, the whip used to drive horses, noun.

Linzhi: Lin looks at the horse. Come on, look down from a high place.

⒅. Its: modal particles, strengthening the tone of rhetorical questions. ⒆. Its: modal auxiliary words to strengthen the affirmative tone.

Reference translation: There is Bole in the world, and then there will be a thousand-mile horse. A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a Bole does not always exist.

Therefore, even a very expensive horse can only suffer humiliation at the hands of servants and die in a stable with ordinary horses, and cannot obtain the title of a thousand-mile horse. A horse that travels a thousand miles a day may eat a stone of grain in one meal. The person who feeds the horse does not know how to feed it according to its ability to travel a thousand miles a day.

(So) Although such a horse has the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, it does not have enough food and strength, and its talents and beautiful qualities cannot be expressed. It wants to be equal to ordinary horses. Even if it can't do it, how can we ask it to travel thousands of miles a day? Whipping it without following the correct method, feeding it not enough to make it fully display its talents, listening to its neighing but not understanding its meaning, (instead) standing in front of it with a whip and saying: "There is no thousand-mile horse in the world!" well! Is there really no thousand-mile horse? In fact, they really don’t know how to ride a thousand-mile horse. 2. Ancient texts that show the demeanor of a gentleman

Ai Lian said that among the flowers of water, land and vegetation, the most lovely ones are fán (fán).

Tao Yuanming of Jin Dynasty only loved chrysanthemums. Since the Li and Tang Dynasties, people have loved peonies very much (some versions say it is very popular).

I only love the lotus that comes out of the mud but is not stained. It is clear and rippled but not demonic. It is straight in the middle and straight to the outside. It has no vines or branches. The fragrance is far away and clear, and the pavilion is pure. You can watch it from a distance but don't play with it (xiè). I say chrysanthemum, the flower that represents seclusion; peony, the flower that represents wealth and honor; lotus, the flower that represents the gentleman.

Yī! The love of chrysanthemums was well known by Empress Dowager Tao; the love of lotus, who can share it? The love of peony is suitable for everyone. Inscription on the humble house: The mountain is not high, but it is famous if there are immortals.

If the water is not deep, there will be a spirit if there is a dragon. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous.

The upper steps of the moss marks are green, and the grass color is green into the curtain. There are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no white people who come and go.

You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There are no messy ears of silk and bamboo, and there is no laborious shape of case documents.

Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, Yunting in Xishuzi. Confucius said: "What is so shameless?" What is the style of a gentleman? Gentleman's style) refers to an upright person, a respectable person; a person with whom one can have deep connections in life; a person with whom one can rest assured in business; a person who is decent in language and work.

In ancient times, it was the style of a gentleman not to bow down for five buckets of rice. It was the style of a gentleman to bow to death and to be polite and virtuous. It was also the style of a gentleman to be courteous and virtuous. The following points are the expressions of a gentleman's style. Ancient Chinese scholar Zi said: Aspire to the Tao, base on virtue, rely on benevolence, and play in art. According to the original text "Zhi Yu Tao", it can be interpreted as the metaphysical Tao, which means to aspire high and achieve the state you hope to achieve.

This "Tao" includes the Tao of Heaven and the Tao of humanity, both metaphysical and metaphysical. This is the most basic and highest purpose of teaching us to be determined.

Whether it can be done is another matter. Just like when everyone first came out to work in society when they were young, they all aspired to gain fame and wealth.

As far as making money is concerned, at least I hope to earn tens of millions of yuan. But despite my determination, in fact I only earn a few thousand yuan a month.

If you only get a few thousand yuan because you have a goal of tens of millions, then "don't do it!" If you don't want to go back to work! This shows that whether the ambition can be realized is another matter. Therefore, Confucius said that in learning, one must set high goals. This is the first meaning of "aiming for the Tao".

"Based on virtue", although the ambition must be lofty, it must start from humanity. The so-called way of heaven and humanity, the unity of nature and man, starts with moral behavior.

In other words, "aiming for Tao" is to engage in philosophical thinking, and "according to virtue" is the behavior of living in society. The ancients explained that virtue means gaining, and achieving results is virtue, so it is obvious , Confucius told us that thoughts are based on Tao, and actions are based on virtue. "Depending on benevolence", as we have said before, benevolence has a body and is useful.

The essence of benevolence is inner cultivation. The so-called study of life and mind is intrinsic. What manifests externally is loving people and loving things, such as universal love in Mozi’s thought and fraternity in Western culture.

"Relying on benevolence" means relying on benevolence. In other words, how Tao and virtue are developed depends on whether there is love for people and things. With this love, love for people, things, society, country, and the world will expand and expand to love the whole world.

This is the performance of Ren. "Rely on benevolence" and only then can you "play in art".

You are a swimmer, not a gamer. The art of "youyuyi" includes six arts: etiquette, music, archery, horsemanship, calligraphy, and mathematics. Confucius' education at that time focused on the six arts.

Among them, "ritual", in modern terms, includes all cultures including philosophy, politics, education, and society. As for modern arts such as dance, film, drama, music, art, etc., they belong to music.

"Shooting" refers to military and martial arts. In the past, it meant drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, which is equivalent to modern shooting, fighting skills, sports, etc.

"Royal" means driving. In modern terms, of course it also includes driving airplanes and spaceships. "Book", literature and history.

"Number" refers to science. All cultivation of talents and enrichment of life must be based on the cultivation of six arts. Art is by no means an art in a narrow sense.

In ancient China, there was no such subdivision. Everything that fell within the scope of the six arts was art. In life, you must understand the four key points of cultural and ideological cultivation: Tao, morality, benevolence, and art.

The first half of these four key points, "aim for Tao and base on virtue" includes spiritual thoughts, plus "depend on benevolence and play with art" as the criterion for life and conduct, which are all his principles. , and at the same time tell everyone that having these key points is called knowledge. Without lofty ideas, it would be too tacky, and a life that is too realistic will only bore you.

Without a certain basis for moral conduct, life is rootless and ultimately unable to mature. If there is no inner cultivation of benevolence, there will be no place to settle psychologically.

Without "playing in art", without profound knowledge and knowledge, life will be boring. Therefore, these four points are all important, and later generations have placed more emphasis on these four points. In fact, when talking about Confucian thought, we must develop balancedly from here.

Confucius said: A gentleman takes righteousness as a pledge, conducts it with etiquette, and uses it as a gift, and trusts it as a fulfillment. What a gentleman! Confucius said that a true intellectual must pay attention to his own responsibilities in life and pay attention to the four words meaning, etiquette, sun and faith. Be essentially righteous.

The meaning of righteousness here is, firstly, Mencius’ concept - righteousness means appropriateness, which means appropriateness and appropriateness. The second is traditional benevolence and righteousness - personality standards.

The third refers to the "study of principles" in addition to the "study of words and chapters" and the "study of recording hearings". ——The so-called philosophy and science in modern times are also the study of ethics. They all explore the highest principle of life-truth.

The "righteousness" of "a gentleman regards righteousness as quality" is also the righteousness of righteousness, which is used as the essence. The behavior expressed externally is etiquette, a behavior with a high degree of cultural accomplishment.

Sun is humble, very humble in attitude, not complacent or proud. Have faith in people and things, be true to your words, be confident and trust people.

Meeting these four conditions is the behavior of a gentleman, that is, an intellectual and a model personality. It is by no means comparable to "living in groups all day long, not being righteous in words, and being smart in doing good things." If you can't do this and just play with small tricks, that's the end of it.

Confucius said: A person with lofty ideals and a benevolent person will not harm his benevolence by seeking life, but will kill himself to fulfill his benevolence. The phrase "sacrifice yourself to become a benevolent person" is commonly used in the Analects of Confucius. It was said by Confucius.

We will not explain this benevolence here. From the above discussion to the following, it is said that "benevolence" is the center of Confucian learning. In today's terms, this is the central idea. The so-called benevolent people with lofty ideals do not want to harm their benevolence by seeking life. For example, there are many religious people who would rather lay down their lives when encountering something that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. Poetry or classical Chinese that expresses the power of communication and cohesion

(1) The sentence in "Looking at the Mountains" that expresses the poet's lofty ambitions is——————Being at the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains and small ones (2) The sentence on the side of "Spring Look" that expresses the poet's concern for the country is - - the flowers shed tears when feeling the time, and the birds are frightened when they hate farewell. (3) The sentence in "Spring Look" that expresses the poet's homesickness for his relatives is "Three beacons of fire" In the moon, letters from home are worth ten thousand gold. (4) The sentence describing the moonlight in "Night Tour at Chengtian Temple" is: The courtyard looks like accumulated water, empty and clear, with algae and waterlilies in the water, covered with bamboo and cypress shadows. The sentence that expresses the author's complex emotions in "Night Tour in Tiansi" is "What night has no moon?" Where are there no bamboos or cypresses? But there are few idle people like me. (6) The overall description of the snow scene in the article "Looking at the Snow in the Pavilion at the Heart of the Lake" is that the rime is foggy, the sky and clouds, mountains and water are all white. (7) "Returning to the Garden and Living in the Fields" "The sentence that expresses the poet's wish is that the clothes are not enough, but the wish is true. (8) The sentence that describes the desolate and majestic scenery of the desert in "Shi to the Fortress" is that the lonely smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river. 4. Two vernacular passages in Chinese classical Chinese in the second volume of the sixth grade

The first classical Chinese passage is: Learning Chess, which is selected from "Mencius·Gaozi". The article first writes that Yi Qiu is the best at playing Go in the country, then writes that Yi Qiu teaches two people with different learning attitudes to play chess, and the learning results are completely different. Finally, it writes that the different learning results of these two people are not due to intellectual differences. What a difference. Through this incident, it illustrates the principle that learning should be concentrated and not half-hearted. Its full text means that Yi Qiu is the best chess player in the country. He taught two students to play chess. One of the students was very attentive and only listened to Yi Qiu's teachings. Although the other student was also listening to Yi Qiu's lectures, he kept thinking about a swan flying over from the sky and wanted to draw his bow and set an arrow. Shoot it down. Although they study together, the latter classmate does not study as well as the former one. Is it because his intelligence is not as good as others? Said: That's not the case. "Xueqi" teaches two people to learn to play chess through Yiqiu, which illustrates that different attitudes will produce different results under the same conditions, and tells us that learning must be concentrated and must not be half-hearted. I felt deeply after reading the text "Xueyi". This article tells a simple story and warns us that we should concentrate on learning and not be half-hearted. There is a big difference in the academic performance of the students in our class. The reason is not the difference in intelligence between people, but the difference in concentration and diligence.

Another classical Chinese text is: Two Children Debating the Sun, selected from "Liezi·Tang Wen". It tells the story that Confucius met two children arguing on the road. One believed that the sun is closer to people in the morning, and the other believed that the sun was closer to people at noon. For this reason, both sides held different sides and could not settle the dispute. Even a learned man like Confucius could not decide. , was laughed at by two children. The story reflects the two children's good observation, rational speech and Confucius' practical attitude. The meaning of the topic is: Two children are arguing about the sun. The full text of this classical Chinese article means: One day, Confucius went to the East to study and saw two children arguing about something, so he asked what the reason was. One child said: "I think the sun is closer to people when it first rises, and farther away from people at noon." Another child thought that the sun was further away from people when it first rose, and closer at noon. A child said: "When the sun first rises, it is as big as a car hood, but at noon it looks like a plate. Isn't this the reason why it looks small when it is far away and big when it is close?" Another child said: "The sun is as big as a car hood when it first rises, but it looks like a plate at noon. It felt cool when I first came out, but at noon it felt like putting my hand into hot water. Isn't this the reason why it feels hot when it is close and feels cold when it is far away? Confucius couldn't tell what was going on. Smiling and said: "Who said you are knowledgeable? "Two children's debate about the sun revolves around the question of when the sun is close to people and when it is far away from people. It explains the reasons of the two children. Confucius was unable to make scientific judgments when faced with this problem. This story illustrates that in order to understand nature, explore the objective The truth requires the courage to think independently and question boldly. It also shows that the universe is infinite and knowledge is endless. Even the most knowledgeable people will not know something, and learning is endless.

Through the study of the article "Two Children Debating the Sun", I felt the spirit of ancient children who were good at observing and thinking and dared to challenge authority. I also experienced Confucius's attitude of dealing with people in a practical way. As Confucius himself said, "Know what is known." To know, not to know, is to know? ” 5. Argument methods in ancient Chinese

Argument methods in ancient Chinese:

1. Deductive argument;

2. Inductive argument (evidence argument);

3. Comparative argument (analogy argument, contrastive argument);

4. Metaphorical argument.

Differences:

1. Deductive argument is a method of argumentation from general to specific. It starts from general principles to derive conclusions about individual cases, and the connection between its premises and conclusions is necessary.

Deduction has many forms, such as syllogism, hypothetical reasoning, disjunctive reasoning, etc., but the most important one is syllogism. A syllogism consists of three parts: major premise, minor premise and conclusion. For example, the major premise "all metals can conduct electricity", the minor premise "iron is a metal", and the conclusion "so iron can conduct electricity".

2. Inductive argumentation is a method of argumentation from individual to general. It uses many individual examples or sub-arguments, and then summarizes their unique characteristics to draw a general conclusion.

In the induction method, you can first give examples and then draw conclusions, or you can first put forward conclusions and then prove them with examples. The former is what we usually call the induction method, and the latter is what we call the illustration method. The illustration method is an argumentation method that uses individual and typical concrete examples to prove the argument.

3. Comparative argumentation is a method of argumentation from individual to individual. It is usually divided into two categories: one is the analogy method and the other is the contrast method.

4. Metaphorical argumentation is to use metaphors as arguments, using the metaphorical person’s principles to demonstrate the metaphorical person’s (topic) principles. In metaphorical arguments, the metaphorizer is a set of image examples, which contain certain relationships and truths, while the metaphoree is an abstract truth.

Although the metaphorical person and the metaphorical person are two different types of things, there is a same general principle between them, so there is an inferential relationship between them. Metaphorical argument is an argument method that uses the metaphorical person as an argument to prove the metaphorical person (topic).

Extended information:

Factual argumentation uses real, reliable, and representative examples to prove the argument, concretely and powerfully prove the central argument, and enhance the persuasiveness, interest, and authority of the article. , making the article easy to understand.

Logical arguments can enhance the persuasiveness or literary grace of an article, making the argument more powerful or attractive.

Comparative arguments make the right and wrong clear and the merits clear, which is impressive and makes the argument more powerful or attractive.

Metaphors and arguments are easy to understand, and the language is vivid and vivid, making it easy for people to accept.

Baidu Encyclopedia - Summary 6. Who has a shorter ancient text?

"Shishuoxinyu": Qixing

Chen Taiqiu and his friend Qixing , During the period, it will not come during the period. If Taiqiu is abandoned, it will be even after it is gone. Yuan Fang was seven years old and started playing outside his home. The guest asked Yuan Fang, "Is your Majesty here?" He replied, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have already left." The friend became angry and said, "You are not a human being! We behaved as expected and left by agreement." Yuan Fang left. He said: "If you and your family are expecting the emperor at noon, if you don't arrive at noon, then you have no faith; if you scold the father at the son, it will be rude." The friend was ashamed and got out of the car to lead him away. Yuan Fang didn't care about it.

Translation Chen Taiqiu made an appointment with his friends for a trip, and they agreed to go out at noon. After noon, the guests had not arrived, so Taiqiu left, and the guests did not arrive until after he left. Yuan Fang was seven years old at the time and was playing outside. The guest asked Yuan Fang: "Is your father at home?" Yuan Fang replied: "I have been waiting for you for a long time but you have not come. You have already left." Taiqiu's friend was very angry and said, "You are really not a human being! You are not with others." We made an appointment to go out, but we abandoned the others and left." Yuan Fang said, "You made an appointment with my father to go out at noon. If you don't do it before noon, you are not honoring your promise. If you scold your father, you are not polite." The friend felt ashamed. Get off the car and pull Yuan Fang. Yuan Fang walked in without looking back.

Key points: Yuan Fang’s intelligence is worthy of praise, but when his friends know their mistakes and want to correct them, Yuan Fang ignores them, which is a bit unreasonable.

Although my friend was dishonest and rude at first, he corrected his mistakes later on, which is worthy of encouragement

Yi Qiu is a good game for the whole country. He asked Yi Qiu to teach two people to play chess. One of them concentrated on the game, but Yi Qiu listened. Although the other listened, he thought that a swan was coming, and he wanted to help him and shot it with his bow. Even though I have learned from him, I am not as good as him. Why is he so wise? I said: Not so.

Translation:

One of them concentrated on learning to play chess and only listened to Yi Qiu's teachings; while the other person was listening to Yi Qiu's teachings, but he always thought in his heart that the swan would follow Yi Qiu's teachings. It was flying overhead and I wanted to shoot it with a bow and arrow. Although he studied with the previous person, his learning results were not as good as the previous person. Can we say that this is because his intelligence is not as good as the previous one? I said: That's not the case. 8. Looking for ancient texts about "filial piety", preferably ancient narrative stories.

01 Filial piety moved Tian Shun, the legendary ancient emperor and one of the Five Emperors. His surname was Yao, his given name was Chonghua, and his nickname was You. The Yu family was known as Yu Shun in history.

According to legend, his father Gusou, stepmother, and half-brother Xiang tried to kill him many times: when they asked Shun to repair the roof of the barn, they set fire under the barn, but Shun jumped down and escaped with two bamboo hats in hand; When Shun was asked to dig a well, Gusou and Xiang filled the well with earth, and Shun dug a tunnel to escape. Afterwards, Shun showed no resentment and was still respectful to his father and loving to his younger brother.

His filial piety moved the Emperor of Heaven. When Shun was farming in Mount Li, elephants plowed the land for him and birds weeded for him.

Emperor Yao heard that Shun was very filial and had the ability to handle political affairs, so he married his two daughters Ehuang and Nvying to him. After years of observation and testing, Emperor Yao selected Shun as his successor. After Shun ascended the throne as emperor, he went to visit his father. He was still respectful and made Xiang a prince.

When his mother was ill for three years, he often couldn't sleep and couldn't take off his clothes. He only felt relieved after tasting the medicines his mother took. Let my mother take it.

When he was young, his family was poor and he often went into the mountains to collect firewood. One day, a guest came to the house, and my mother was at a loss, so she bit her finger with her teeth.

Zeng Shen suddenly felt distressed. Knowing that his mother was calling him, he quickly returned home carrying firewood and knelt down to ask why. His mother said, "A guest suddenly arrived. I am biting my fingers in hope that you will come back."

Zeng Shen then received the guest and treated him with courtesy. Zeng Shen was a man of profound knowledge and once proposed the self-cultivation method of "I should examine myself three times in a day" ("The Analects of Confucius·Xueer"). It is said that he wrote Confucian classics such as "Great Learning" and "The Classic of Filial Piety". Later Confucians respected him as "Zongsheng" .

When his family was poor in his early years, he often picked wild vegetables to make meals, but he carried rice home from hundreds of miles away to serve his parents.

After his parents died, he became a high official and was ordered to follow the state of Chu. He has hundreds of chariots and horses, and he has as much food as ten thousand bells. Sitting on the stacked brocade mats, eating a sumptuous feast, he often misses his parents and sighs: "Even if I want to eat wild vegetables, why don't I eat them?" If parents go to lose rice, where can they get it again? Confucius praised and said: "You serve your parents.

Confucius once praised him and said: "How filial, Min Ziqian!" ("The Analects·Advanced"). His biological mother died early, and his father married a second wife and gave birth to two more sons.

His stepmother often abused him. In winter, his two younger brothers wore winter clothes made of cotton, but they gave him "cotton clothes" made of reed catkins. One day, when his father went out, Min Sun shivered due to the cold while pulling the cart, and dropped the rope. He was scolded and whipped by his father. The reed flowers flew out along with the broken seam, and his father knew that Min Sun was being abused.

The father returned home and wanted to divorce his second wife. Min Sun knelt down and begged his father to forgive his stepmother, saying, "I am the only one who will suffer the cold if I leave my mother behind. If I divorce my mother, the three children will suffer the cold."

His father was very moved and agreed to his request. When the stepmother heard about it, she regretted her mistake and treated him like her own child. screen.width * 0.7) { this.resized = true; this.width = screen.width * 0.7; this.alt = "Click here to open new window"; } } " src=/mmsource/images/2004/12/02/tp-hzy-041202-045.jpg /> 06 Luru was married to Tanzi, a person from the Spring and Autumn Period.

His parents were old and suffering from illness. He had an eye disease and needed to drink deer milk to treat it. So he went into the mountains wearing deer skin, squeezed deer milk, and offered it to his parents.

When he was collecting milk, he saw a hunter about to shoot one. Tan Zi hurriedly picked up the deer skin and walked out, telling the hunter about the fact that he had squeezed deer milk to treat his parents' illness. The hunter respected him as a filial piety, gave him deer milk as a gift, and escorted him out of the mountain screen.width * 0.7) { this. resized = true; this.width = screen.width * 0.7; this.alt = "Click here to open new window"; } } " src=/mmsource/images/2004/12/02/tp-hzy-041202-046 .jpg /> 07 Xi Cai Yu Qin Lao Laizi, a hermit from Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period, farmed at the southern foot of Mount Meng to avoid the chaos. He was filial to his parents and served them all the delicacies he could. He was still young at the age of 70. He often wore colorful clothes and played with a rattle like a child to make his parents happy.

Once when he was delivering water to his parents, he fell when he entered the house. He was afraid that his parents would be sad, so he simply lay on the floor to watch while the children cried and the elders laughed. screen.width * 0.7) { this.resized = true; this.width = screen.width * 0.7; this.alt = "Click here to open new window"; } } " src="images.
