1, Han Xin

Han Xin, the great general who helped Emperor Gaozu paint the world, was in a very difficult situation without success. At that time, he often fished at the gate, hoping to solve his life with good luck. However, this is not a reliable method.

So, always be hungry. Fortunately, where he often fishes, there are many floating mothers (old women who clean silk floss or old clothes and old fabrics) working by the river. One of them sympathized with what happened to Han Xin and kept giving him relief and food.

Han Xin thanked the hardworking and hard-working floating girl for her kindness and told her that she would be rewarded in the future.

Floating mother was very unhappy at Han Xin's words, saying that she would not be repaid by Han Xin in the future. Later, Han Xin made great contributions to Hanwang and was named King Chu. He remembered that he had been loved by his wandering mother before, so he ordered someone to bring her food and a table, and even gave her 1200 gold as a thank you.

This idiom comes from this story. It means: don't forget that even a little help is valuable when you are in trouble, although you get little benefit; When we have the ability, it is natural to reward those who do human feelings.

2. Luz

There is an old saying in China: "Filial piety is the first virtue". Filial piety is the first of all virtues. If a person does not know how to honor his parents, it is hard to imagine that he will love his motherland and people.

The ancients said: "I am old, and people are old; Young and frivolous, and young people. " We should not only honor our parents, but also respect other old people, care for young children, and create an honest folk custom of respecting the old and loving the young in the whole society. This is the responsibility of our students in the new era.

Luz was a native of Lu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. He is famous for his political affairs among Confucius disciples. Especially famous for being brave. However, when Luz was young, his family was very poor, and he lived by eating coarse grains and wild vegetables for many years.

Once, my elderly parents wanted to eat rice, but there was no rice at home. What should I do? Lutz thought, if he climbed several mountains and borrowed some rice from relatives, wouldn't he be able to meet his parents' requirements?

As a result, Xiaozi walked more than ten miles across the mountains and returned a small bag of rice from his relatives' home. Seeing that his parents ate delicious rice, Luz forgot his fatigue. The neighbors all praised Luz as a brave and filial child.

3. Yu Rang

This remark was made by Yu Rang, a famous assassin in Jin State during the late Spring and Autumn Period in Yu Rang, emphasizing gratitude. Because Zhi Bo, who was grateful to herself, was killed by Zhao Xiangzi, Jade Jean thought that "a scholar died as a confidant and a woman was complacent" and was determined to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi and avenge Zhi Bo.

After the first attack failed, he rotted the corpse with lacquer sores, swallowed charcoal with a hoarse voice, and made the corpse look miserable, so that his wife didn't know, and then he looked for opportunities to get close to Zhao Xiangzi. The second assassination still ended in failure, but the arrested Yu Rang said, "A virtuous minister does not hide the beauty of others, but a loyal minister means death." He borrowed clothes from Zhao Xiangzi and asked him to cut a knife. Zhao Xiangzi took off his gorgeous clothes, and Yu let his sword leap, and then committed suicide.

4. Boya period

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yu Boya was good at playing strings, while Zhong Ziqi was good at listening to sounds and distinguishing meanings. On one occasion, Boya traveled to the north of Mount Tai (now Guishan in Hanyang, Wuhan) and was caught in a rainstorm, hiding under a rock. When he is lonely, he takes out his guqin and plays it. Zhong Ziqi, a woodcutter who also sheltered from the rain nearby, couldn't help crying, "Good song! What a beautiful song! "

Later, every time Boya played a piano piece, he could hear its meaning and interest in the early stage, which surprised Boya. So they became bosom friends and made an appointment to meet again next year to discuss the piano. But when Boya came to the meeting the next year, he learned that the little chef hippo had died of illness not long ago. Boya lamented his sadness and broke the guqin. From then on, she stopped playing the strings to thank her for her rare bosom friend.
