Uncle Ying Xiao of the Zhou Dynasty was a native of Zheng in the Spring and Autumn Period, and his mother was the most filial in his life. Mom must eat anything delicious at home first.
At that time, Zhuang Gong, the monarch of the State of Zheng, was very sad because his mother and brother Duan Shu rebelled. After the riot, he put Uncle Duan in prison, and the Queen Mother was exiled to and vowed, "We will never meet again until we go underground."
One day, Duke Zhuang invited his uncle to be a guest, but Uncle Xiao didn't get a bowl of delicious meat in front of him. Zhuang Gong was surprised and asked why. Uncle Xiao said that looking at the delicious meat reminds me of my mother at home. My mother has never eaten such delicious meat, and she dare not eat it herself. I hope Zhuanggong can give it to her.
Hearing this, Zhuang Gong suddenly appeared silent and sad. Seeing this, Uncle Xiao asked what had happened. Duke Zhuang told Uncle Xiao about the rebellion of his mother and brother, and told him the oath of "Never seeing each other again until I get underground".
Uncle Xiao thought for a moment, then pointed out, "Just dig a tunnel and meet me inside." Zhuanggong immediately promised to send someone to deal with it. As a result, Zhuang Gong met his mother in the tunnel and made up. Uncle Xiao not only did his own filial piety, but also moved the monarch to do his filial piety to his mother. Later generations called him "pure filial piety". Not only should we be filial, but we should also persuade people to be filial.
Confucius, named Zhong Ni, was a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. His father Shu is a learned man, and his mother is his stepmother.
When Confucius was three years old, his father died unfortunately and was raised by his mother Yan. Zhong Ni was very clever since he was a child, and his mother was also very filial.
For the future of Zhong Ni, Yanshi specially invited famous scholars at that time to teach Zhong Ni. Under the guidance of his mother and Yan, Zhong Ni finished reading all the books at that time. Moreover, we should always pay attention to our academic and moral cultivation and strive for progress. So when he was young, he became a little famous.
Later, Confucius taught in Lu and preached benevolence. There are as many as 3000 students from all sides, 72 of whom have achieved special results. He leads by example rather than by example, and gives different education methods according to students' sexual orientation. And often teach students "rude, no position." In addition, Confucius also engaged in writing and spread the great spirit of kindness. Filial piety is endless, regardless of age. )
Lao Laizi, a Chu native in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zhou Dynasty, was very filial from an early age. When he was seventy years old, the two old people were still alive. However, when the two old people saw their son getting old, they felt that their days were numbered. When Lao Laizi saw it, he thought of a way. Lao Laizi dressed himself up as a child, skipped to his parents' side and laughed and played with the child. Seeing their son's antics, the two old people laughed their heads off and forgot all their troubles and worries! Since then, Lao Laizi has never mentioned old stories in front of his parents, and he often dresses up as a child to make the two old people happy in their later years. Yu Shun, namely Shun, surnamed Yao, named Gui (Gu: He) and Yu named Zhong Hua. According to legend, when Yao chose an heir in his later years, the "four mountains" were the tribal leaders of the Quartet who chose Shun. After three years of rigorous investigation, Yao ordered Shun to be regent. Shun ran around and wiped out Gun, Gong, Dog Dou and Sanmiao. After eight years of regency, Yao died and Shun succeeded to the throne. Later, he consulted Siyue, selected sages, governed civil affairs, and selected Dayu, who had rendered meritorious service in water control, as his successor.
Legend has it that Shun's biological mother died young and his father was blind. After marrying his second wife, he rejected the shun born by his ex-wife "g incarnation", blind. "sǒu", there is no pupil in the eye. Born with the highest filial piety, that is, filial piety reaches the extreme. His father is stubborn. It is wonderful to describe his character with a word "stubborn". Said: "Stubborn, (ten thousand) head also." Stubbornness is a piece of wood that is difficult to split. You can imagine his father's stubbornness, stubbornness, stupidity and ignorance.
His stepmother is noisy, and the word "noisy" is also very vivid. Shuowen: "Noisy, loud. Be angry. " "Zhu Duan": "The sound comes out, and the gas follows." It is conceivable that her stepmother is so noisy, unruly and unreasonable.
His younger brother, born to his stepmother, is called Xiang, and his temperament is very arrogant. Shuowen: "Proud, yeah." The word "proud" also shows his brother's arrogance.
Shun lives in such a family, and his parents and brother are not very kind to him, and even want to kill him. "Records of the Five Emperors": "Shun's father was blind, Shun's mother died, and he was proud of marrying and imaging. Gu Sou loves his wife and often wants to kill Shun, who runs away. And if you make a little mistake, you will suffer. If you listen to your father, stepmother and brother and be sincere every day, the bandits will have a way. " "Shun's father is stubborn, his mother is Tao, and his brother is proud. They all want to kill Shun. When you are smooth, you don't lose your way, and your brother is filial. If he wants to kill someone, he can't get it; I can't wait for it, I can't taste it. I heard it in Xiao Jing when I was 20 years old. "
Through two legendary events recorded in Historical Records, we can see the hardships, sinister and filial piety of Shun's life. When the four mountains chose Shun, Yao also married his two daughters to Shun and gave him many possessions such as warehouses, cattle and sheep. But Shun's parents and brother still want to frame Shun.
Once, when he wanted to kill Shun again, he asked Shun to climb to a high place to smear the granary. Gu Sou set fire to the barn below, hoping to burn his son. However, Shun is very alert. He protected himself with two hats, spread his wings like a bird and jumped down gently, escaping from the fire without being burned to death.
Later, I wanted to kill Shun and let Shun dig a well. As a precaution, I dug a tunnel and went out from the wellhead next to it. Shun dug deeper and deeper, so Gu Sou and the elephant filled the well with soil, hoping to bury Shun alive. However, Shun carefully escaped from the back tunnel and was out of danger.
Xiang He was very happy and thought Shun was dead, so Xiang said, "This is my first idea." So, the next family member, like his two wives, Yao's two daughters, asked for Shun's share. He lives in Shun's place and still plays the piano.
Unexpectedly, Shun suddenly came back. The elephant was surprised and pretended to say, "I am thinking of you, so I am not sad!" " "Shun said," of course, you are so ordinary! "Yes, the friendship between you and my brother is deep!
"Historical Records": "Follow the father's stone drum and search for his brother. So Yao tried his best to follow the five codes and hundred officials and rule them all. " Shun reached the realm of "filial piety", and his description of his mind was very touching, and of course it touched Yao, which was also an important basis for choosing him as his successor.
This kind of "supreme filial piety" has also realized a kind of "induction" of filial piety between heaven and earth, and many touching scenes have appeared. Because of Shun's "supreme filial piety", both elephants and birds actually got filial piety, so when he was crossing mountains and mountains, elephants came to help him plow the fields and birds came to help him sow seeds, and filial piety could reach this point. Where is Mount Li? Opinions vary. According to historical records, Yu Shun established its capital in Puban, just south of Yongji today. Mount Li is the name of the mountain, also known as Mount Lei Shou, which is located in the southeast of yongji city. But there are also legends that it is south of Jinan, Shandong Province, which is today's Qianfo Mountain area. There are also Mount Li in Henan, Hebei, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan and other provinces, most of which are attached to the Shungeng site.
Shun made pottery by the Yellow River, and the products he made were of high quality. In this paper, "y incarnation" means poor quality, and "not bitter" means good quality. He goes fishing in Razer, but he won't get lost in the strong wind and thunderstorm. "Leize", also known as Leishui in ancient times, is located in the south of yongji city in the northeast of Heze City, or Leixiaze.
Shun is the most filial to his parents. "Although I do my best, I have no regrets." This is to make every effort and hard work, and "hard work" is hard work; However, without resentment, "Du" means resentment. When Emperor Yao heard that Shun was filial, he "established a total of 180" and put him in charge of state affairs. "kuí" means management. Emperor Yao also asked nine sons to serve him and married his daughter to him; The legendary and Yao's two daughters. Emperor Yao, Tao, Shi said and. Legend has it that he once set officials in charge of seasons and made calendars? 98 years.
After Shun became emperor, he did his filial piety, visited his relatives under the banner of the son of heaven, did his duty as a son, and made his younger brother a vassal. This shows that the status has changed, but we don't forget the past, forget the past, and still be filial. In the thirty-ninth year of Shundi, he went hunting in the south, died in the wilderness of Cangwu, and was buried in Jiuyi Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, named Lingling. This mountain is just south of ningyuan county, Hunan Province today.
"Twenty-four Filial Piety" begins with the first story about arranging Yu Shun, which is very meaningful: First, it has a long-term significance in terms of time, and Yu Shun is a figure in the era of "Three Emperors and Five Emperors"; The "Five Emperors" are Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao and Yu Shun. Second, from the standpoint of the characters, it is authoritative. Third, in terms of influence, it is extensive. Fourth, on the whole, it is the most exemplary.
From the perspective of "The Book of Filial Piety", this paper responds to what Confucius said in the first chapter of the Ming Dynasty: "The late king had a path to the highest morality, so as to follow the world, make people harmonious, and have no complaints from top to bottom", and "Filial piety is the foundation of virtue, from which teaching was born". An early king like Shun had a "filial piety" and became a model of emperors. Of course, this story also responds to Chapter 16 of the Induction Law: "Filial piety is the most important thing, reaching the gods and shining everywhere."
From a modern point of view, there are three points to be said: first, how to perform filial piety in various disharmonious families? That is, learn to be patient, restrained and tolerant, and touch your family with your own sincerity. Second, filial piety is by no means "foolish filial piety". Shun's alertness and wisdom of escaping are clever filial piety in "supreme filial piety", not stupid filial piety. Thirdly, when selecting talents in ancient times, filial piety was also a necessary condition, and filial piety was a necessary condition for Shun to be selected as Yao's successor. What does this inspire today? Fourth, the level of filial piety is: filial piety-filial piety-non-foolish filial piety-supreme filial piety. Shun let everyone see the model of "supreme filial piety" in ancient times.
Shun's indifference to his family misfortune embodies a spirit of "forgiveness" and "forbearance", so he has the life wisdom of "forbearing what others can't tolerate" and finally "what adults can't do".
