Story: I once took part in killing pigs.

Zeng Shen, a famous thinker and Confucian in Lu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, was one of the 72 sages under Confucius. He is knowledgeable and versatile, and attaches great importance to cultivation and moral integrity. Once, my wife went to the market on a business trip, and the young children clamored to go. Zeng Shen's wife didn't want to take care of the children, so she said to him, "You have fun at home. When mom comes back, she will kill cook the meat's pig and give it to you. " Hearing this, the child was very happy and stopped clamoring to go to the market. This was originally a joke for the children, but after that, Zeng Shen's wife forgot. Unexpectedly, Zeng Shen really killed a pig at home. When his wife saw that Zeng Shen had killed the pig, she said, "I came back from the market and said that I would kill the pig and cook meat for him." How can you take it seriously? " Zeng Shen said: "Children can't be deceived. Children are too young to understand the world, so they should learn from others, especially their parents. Today you cheat a child and defile his mind, tomorrow the child will cheat you and others; If you break your word in front of the children today, the children will no longer trust you tomorrow. See how harmful this is. "
