Story of civilized etiquette

1. Honesty and etiquette - King Zhao of Yan asked for talents

After Lord Mengchang was removed from his position, King Min of Qi and Chu and Wei The two countries destroyed the Song Dynasty and became even more arrogant. He only wanted to annex other countries and become emperor himself. As a result, the princes of all countries were dissatisfied with him; especially the Yan State to the north of Qi State, which was bullied by Qi State and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge.

The State of Yan was originally a big country. Later, it was passed into the hands of King Kuai of Yan. He listened to the bad guys' ideas and actually imitated the legendary method of Yao and Shun to give up the throne to the Prime Minister. The general and prince of Yan State attacked Zizhi in peace, and great chaos broke out in Yan State. In the name of quelling the civil strife in Yan, the State of Qi invaded the State of Yan, and the State of Yan was almost destroyed. Later, the soldiers and people of Yan State established the prince as king, rose up in resistance, and drove out the Qi army.

Prince Ping ascended the throne and became King Yan Zhao. He was determined to make the Yan State strong and determined to find talents to govern the country, but he could not find the right person. Someone reminded him that the veteran Guo Wei (sound wěi) was quite knowledgeable, so he might as well go to him to discuss it.

King Zhao of Yan personally visited Guo Wei and said to Guo Wei: "The State of Qi took advantage of the civil strife in our country to invade us. I will never forget this shame. But now that the State of Yan is weak, it cannot take revenge." . If there is a wise man to help me avenge my shame, I would rather serve him. Can you recommend such a person?"

Guo Wei touched his beard and said thoughtfully: "I want to recommend it. I can't tell you about the ready-made talents. Please allow me to tell a story first." Then he told a story:

In ancient times, there was a king who loved the horse most. He sent people to search everywhere, but they couldn't find it for three years. A courtier heard that there was a precious thousand-mile horse somewhere in the distance, and told the king that as long as he gave him one thousand taels of gold, he would be able to buy the horse back. The king was very happy, so he sent his ministers to buy it with a thousand taels of gold. Unexpectedly, when the courtiers arrived, Chollima had already fallen ill and died. The courtier thought that it would be hard to explain when he went back with empty hands, so he took half of the gold he brought and bought the horse bones.

The courtier presented the horse bones to the king. The king was furious and said, "I want you to buy a live horse. Who asked you to spend money to buy back useless horse bones?" The courtier did not panic. He said hurriedly: "People heard that you are willing to spend money to buy a dead horse. Are you afraid that no one will bring a live horse?"

The king was doubtful and no longer blamed the courtiers. As soon as the news spread, everyone thought that the king really loved the horse. Within a year, several thousand-mile horses were sent from all directions.

After Guo Wei told this story, he said: "The king must recruit talented people, so you might as well try me as a horse bone."

After hearing this, King Yan Zhao Inspired, after returning home, he immediately sent someone to build a very exquisite house for Guo Wei to live in, and he also asked Guo Wei to be his teacher. Talented people from all over the world heard that King Yan Zhao was sincerely recruiting talents, and they rushed to Yan to ask for an audience. The most famous among them is Le Yi, a native of Zhao. King Zhao of Yan worshiped Leyi as his minister, and asked him to rectify the country's affairs and train troops. As expected, the country of Yan became stronger day by day.

At this time, King Yan Zhao saw that King Min of Qi was arrogant and unpopular, so he said to Le Yi: "Now that King Qi is unruly, it is time for us to avenge our shame. I plan to mobilize the whole country to fight against Qi." "What do you think of the country?"

Le Yi said: "Qi is a vast country with a large population. I'm afraid we can't attack it alone. If the king wants to attack Qi, he must unite with other countries." Get up."

King Yan Zhao sent Le Yi to Zhao to meet with King Zhao Huiwen, and sent people to contact Han and Wei, and also asked Zhao to contact Qin. These countries couldn't stand Qi's tyranny, so they were willing to send troops with Yan.

In 284 BC, King Zhao of Yan appointed Le Yi as his general and commanded the troops of the five kingdoms in a mighty massacre against Qi.

When King Min of Qi heard that the five-nation coalition was coming, he was also panicked. He gathered all the troops from the country to resist the coalition and fought a battle to the west of Jishui.

Because Le Yi was good at commanding, the morale of the troops of the five kingdoms was strong, and the Qi army was completely defeated. King Min of Qi fled back to Linzi.

The soldiers of Zhao, Han, Qin, and Wei won the battle, each occupied several cities in Qi, and did not want to continue fighting. Only Le Yi refused to give up. He personally led the Yan army and marched straight into Linzi, the capital of Qi. King Qi Min had to run away and was eventually killed in Jucheng.

King Yan Zhao believed that Le Yi had made great contributions, so he went to the Jishui River to work in person, discussed his merits and rewarded him, and named Le Yi the King of Chang

2. Unity and friendship - the calm Liu Mingchuan

Liu Mingchuan, the governor-general sent by the Qing Dynasty to Taiwan, was a major contributor to the construction of Taiwan. It was he who supervised the construction of Taiwan's first railway. There is a thought-provoking story about Liu Mingchuan's appointment: when Li Hongzhang recommended Liu Mingchuan to Zeng Guofan, he also recommended two other scholars. In order to test which of the three of them had the best character, Zeng Guofan deliberately invited them to Zeng's mansion for an interview at a certain time. But when the appointed time came, Zeng Guofan deliberately did not show up and asked them to wait in the living room, but secretly observed their attitudes carefully. The other two seemed impatient and kept complaining; only Liu Mingchuan was quietly and calmly admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Later, Zeng Guofan asked them about the calligraphy and painting in the living room, and only Liu Mingchuan could answer it. As a result, Liu Mingchuan was recommended as the governor of Taiwan.

Note: People who are impatient must lack the spirit of perseverance and perseverance to overcome all difficulties, and naturally they will not be able to accomplish anything great. If we hope to make a difference in the future, we must first hone our patience and perseverance.

3. Diligence, thrift and self-reliance - bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens

Lu Xun, courtesy name Boyan, was a native of Wu County, Wu County (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province) during the Three Kingdoms period. He first worked in Sun Quan's general office as the governor of East and West Cao Cao, and later became the captain of Haichang Tuntian, where he was also in charge of the county's political affairs. The county suffered from drought for many years, so he opened a warehouse to help the poor. He encouraged farmers to supervise mulberry trees and achieved excellent political results. At that time, bandits harassed and violated the people in Wujun, Kuaiji, and Danyang. Lu Xun was allowed to recruit his own troops, went deep into the dangerous passes to conquer, and defeated them one by one. He was promoted to captain of Dingwei and stationed in Lipu.

Lu Meng, the governor who guarded Lukou, planned to seize Jingzhou and threatened to return to Jianye (now Nanjing City), the capital of Wu State, if he was ill. Lu Xun went to see him and said to him: "Your defense line is connected with Guan Yu, why don't you leave far away? It is really worrying that there is no suitable person to take over." Lu Meng said: "You are absolutely right, but I am seriously ill. "Lu Xun said: "Guan Yu is accustomed to bullying others based on his courage. Now he has accomplished the great feat of attacking Fancheng, flooding the Seventh Army, killing Pang De, and imprisoning him. He is arrogant and has a loose mind. He only concentrates on the Northern Expedition and does not pay attention to us. Hearing that you are sick, we will definitely not be prepared. If we attack by surprise, we will definitely succeed. You should discuss it carefully when you meet with the Lord." When Lu Meng met Sun Quan, he recommended Lu Xun to succeed him and said, "Lu Xun. His strategy is far-reaching and he is talented enough to take on important tasks. He has no reputation yet, and Guan Yu will not care about him. If he is appointed to act quietly and secretly, he will definitely succeed. "Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief of the right to guard Lukou in place of Lu Meng. . "Lu Xun arrived at Lukou and wrote to Guan Yu, praising his merits and expressing his gratitude for the strong protection of the Allies. His words were extremely humble. Guan Yu had originally despised Lu Xun, thinking that he was just a scholar and a young boy; he was very happy to read the letter. , there was no longer any precaution. Lu Xun reported to Sun Quan and proposed a strategy for a surprise attack on Jingzhou. Sun Quan secretly mobilized the army and sent Lu Xun and Lu Meng as the vanguard. As soon as the troops were sent out, they attacked Gong'an and Nanjun, and then captured Yidu and Nanjun. Fangling and Nanxiang. Guan Yu quickly returned to the army after receiving urgent news from the front line of Fancheng, but he lost ground and his soldiers gradually dispersed. They were finally defeated in Maicheng and were intercepted by Wu general Pan Zhang. All of Jingzhou fell into the hands of Soochow. Lu Xun was promoted to General Right and General Zhenxi for his merits, and was granted the title of Marquis of Lou.

Liu Bei personally led an army of 700,000 to attack Soochow in order to avenge Guan Yu's death and capture Jingzhou. The governor led 50,000 troops to resist. Liu Bei camped for 700 miles from Wuxia, Jianping to Yiling. He first sent Wu Ban to lead thousands of people to set up camp on the ground. He showed his weakness and challenged the generals of the Wu army. Go to war.

Lu Xun said: "There must be a conspiracy here. Our army can only stand firm and wait for the situation to change." Sure enough, Liu Bei had a heavy ambush in the valley, but failed to lure the enemy, so he had to give up. Lu Xun believed that Liu Bei's army had just arrived and was full of vigor, so they should avoid confrontation. The enemy is unable to seek a fight. If the stalemate persists for a long time, it will naturally relax and then seize the opportunity. However, the generals under his command could not understand his intentions, thinking that he was afraid of powerful enemies, cowardly and afraid of fighting, and they all harbored resentment and dissatisfaction. Some of these generals were Sun Ce's old generals, and some were members of the public family. They all relied on their status and did not want to obey orders. Lu Xun pressed his sword and declared sternly: "Although I am a scholar, I have accepted the important task of the Lord. The reason why the country has to ask you to listen to my control is because I have some strengths and can endure humiliation and bear the burden. Everyone must be responsible for guarding the pass strictly and not to act rashly. "Military law is ruthless and must not be violated!" Later, Liu Bei moved his camp to the mountains and forests. Lu Xun used fire to attack the 700-mile company camp and pursued the victory. The Shu army was defeated and Liu Bei fled back to Baidi City overnight. /p>

Zhang Liang's apprenticeship

Zhang Liang was the military advisor of Liu Bang, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty. His ancestors were Korean. After Qin destroyed Korea, Zhang Liang was determined to avenge Korea. Once, because he attempted to assassinate Qin Shihuang, he was hunted and took refuge in Xiapi.

Zhang Liang had nothing to do in Xiapi. One day he went for a walk on Xiapi Bridge and met an old man wearing a coarse short coat. He walked up to Zhang Liang and deliberately dropped his shoes under the bridge. Then he turned back to Zhang Liang and said, "Child! Go down the bridge and pick up my shoes for me!" Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment and wanted to hit him, but when he saw that he was an old man, he suppressed his anger and said, Went under the bridge and picked up the shoes. The old man actually ordered again: "Put the shoes on for me!" Zhang Liang thought, since he had already picked up the shoes for him, he might as well put them on for him, so he knelt on the ground and put the shoes on for him. The old man stretched out his feet and asked Zhang Liang to dress him, and then left with a smile. Zhang Liang kept watching his whereabouts with surprise. The old man walked for a while, then turned back and said to Zhang Liang: "This child of yours can be cultivated to be talented. Five days later, at dawn, come here to meet me!" Zhang Liang knelt down. He came down and said, "Yes." At dawn on the fifth day, Zhang Liang arrived at Xiapi Bridge. Unexpectedly, the old man was already waiting there. When he saw Zhang Liang, he said angrily: "Why are you late for a date with the old man? Come back to meet me on the morning of the fifth day!" After that, he left. On the morning of the fifth day, when the rooster crowed, Zhang Liang rushed there, but the old man was waiting there again. When he saw Zhang Liang, he said angrily: "Why are you falling behind me again? Come back earlier after five days." !" After that, he left again. On the fifth day, Zhang Liang rushed to the bridge before midnight. After waiting for a long time, the old man also came. He said happily: "This is good." Then he took out a book, pointed at it and said: "If you study this book carefully, you can become the teacher of the emperor! In ten years, the world situation will change, and you will become rich. In the next 13 years, you will see me at the foot of Gucheng Mountain in Jibei County? There is a block there Huangshi is mine." The old man said and left.

At dawn in the morning, Zhang Liang took out the book and took a look. It turned out to be "The Art of War of Taigong" (the military book of Jiang Taigong who assisted King Wu of Zhou in defeating Zhou)! Zhang Liang cherished it very much, often read it, studied and studied it repeatedly.

Ten years later, Chen Sheng and others rebelled against Qin, and Zhang Liang gathered more than 100 people to respond. Peigong Liu Bang led thousands of troops and captured some places to the west of Xiapi. Zhang Liang joined him and became his subordinate. From then on, Zhang Liang often offered suggestions to Pei Gong according to "Tai Gong's Art of War". Pei Gong thought it was very good and often adopted his strategies. Later, he became Liu Bang's strategist who could strategize and win thousands of miles. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he was granted the title of Liuhou.

Zhang Liang never forgot the old man who gave him "Tai Gong's Art of War". Thirteen years later, when he followed Liu Bang through Jibei, he saw a yellow stone at the foot of Gucheng Mountain. He took it back and called it "Huangshi Gong". He enshrined it as a treasure and offered sacrifices on time. After Zhang Liang's death, his family buried this yellow stone with him.

Sending Goose Feathers A Thousand Miles Away

The story of "Sending Goose Feathers A Thousand Miles Away" happened in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, in order to express his support for the Tang Dynasty, the leader of a minority group in Yunnan sent a special envoy, Mian Bogao, to donate swans to Taizong.

While passing by the Mianyang River, the kind-hearted Mian Bogao released the swan from the cage and wanted to give it a bath. Unexpectedly, the swan spread its wings and flew high into the sky. Uncle Mian hurriedly reached out to catch it, but only managed to pull out a few goose feathers. Uncle Mian was so anxious that he stamped his feet, beat his chest, and howled loudly. The followers persuaded him: "It has flown away. There is no use crying. It is better to think of a remedy." After thinking about it, Mian Bogao could only do this.

When he arrived in Chang'an, Mian Bogao met with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and presented him with gifts. When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty saw that it was an exquisite satin bag, he asked someone to open it and found a few goose feathers and a small poem. The poem says: "Swans pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. The mountains are high and the road is far away. The treasure is lost in the Mianyang River and falls to the ground crying. The Holy Emperor can spare Burmese Bogao. The courtesy is light but the affection is heavy. Goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away." Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was inexplicable. Burmese Bo Gao immediately told the whole story. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said repeatedly: "It's so precious! It's so precious! Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy sentiment!"

This story embodies the valuable virtue of integrity of the gift-giver.

Today, people use the metaphor of "sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away" to describe a gift that is thin but the affection is extremely strong.
