Allusions about learning etiquette and righteousness, being civilized and sensible

Cheng Men Lixue

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a very studious young man named Yang Shi. Yang Shi has been smart since he was a child and studied very hard. He often said to others: "Studying is like eating to me. It is my inner need... so I can't relax." One day, Yang Shi encountered a problem that he didn't understand. , I made an appointment with my friend You Ye to consult the teacher Cheng Yi. When they arrived at the teacher's house, they happened to catch the teacher taking a nap. In order not to disturb the teacher's rest, they stood in the yard and waited quietly. Unfortunately, it snowed heavily that day. They stood outside with a thick layer of snow falling on them. When the teacher woke up and opened the door to see them, the snow on the ground was already more than a foot thick. Where Yang Shi and You Ye had stood, two pairs of deep snow pits were left.

You Zuo was a scholar in the Song Dynasty. The allusion "Cheng Men Li Xue" tells the story of his respect for his teacher.

Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty respected his teacher

When Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty was the crown prince, Dr. Huan Rong was his teacher. Later he succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, "I still respect Huan Rong as a teacher of etiquette." . He personally went to Taichang Mansion, asked Huan Rong to sit on the east side, set up a few sticks, and listened to the teacher's instructions as he did when giving lectures. He also summoned hundreds of students who had been taught by Chaozhong Baiguan and Huan Rong to Taichang Mansion to pay homage to Huan Rong as disciples. When Huan Rong fell ill, Emperor Ming sent people to pay special condolences and even visited the teacher himself. Every time he visited the teacher, Emperor Ming would get off the car and walk there as soon as he entered the street to show his respect. After entering the door, I would often hold the teacher's skinny hand and weep silently for a long time. The emperor of the dynasty treated Huan Rong like this, so "the princes, generals, and officials who asked about illness did not dare to ride to the door again and worshiped under the bed." When Huan Rong died, Emperor Ming also changed his clothes, attended the funeral in person, and made proper arrangements for his children.
