Zhong You, Zi and Lu Ji, who were born in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, were proud disciples of Confucius. He is straightforward, brave and very filial. In the early years, my family was poor, and I often picked wild vegetables to cook, but I went home from a hundred miles away to serve my parents. After his parents died, he became a big official and was ordered to go to Chu, with hundreds of chariots and horses and accumulated as much as 10 thousand grain.

Sitting on a piled brocade mattress and eating a sumptuous banquet, he often misses his parents and laments, "Even if I want to eat wild vegetables, where can I get them?" Confucius praised: "You served your parents best when you were alive, but you missed them after you died!" "

Story revelation:

The dutiful son should do his filial duty in time when his parents are alive, and do his best, which is what the poem says: "I lost my honor, lost my relatives, and missed the old days." I am rich, but my relatives have passed away. Even if you don't forget all the "hard work" raised by relatives in the old society, it is impossible to honor your parents. "Boo" means hard work.

We often see that many people often want to be filial again after losing their parents, but they can't get it; Especially after the living conditions are good and the status is high, it is a lifelong regret to want to repay the kindness of parents.

People are familiar with the saying: "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind will not stop." My son wants to raise, but he doesn't want to be close. " Since ancient times, I don't know how many people have repeated this famous saying, showing deep and great regret that they can no longer do it. Luz's sigh in this story is such a mood.

This famous saying comes from Han Ying's Biography of Chinese Poetry, which can be interpreted by extension. When Confucius traveled, he was sad to hear crying. Confucius said, "Hurry, hurry, there are saints ahead!" "Look, it turned out to be a sorghum fish, dressed in brown, with a sickle, crying on the side of the road. Confucius got off the bus and said to gaoyu, "Is there no funeral in your family? Why are you crying so sad? "

Gaoyu replied that my fault lies in three aspects: First, I didn't study hard and travel around the vassal states, but by the time I came back, my parents had died. Second, he is ambitious, wants to do great things, and is unwilling to work for Yong Jun. As a result, he still achieves nothing when he is old. Third, I have a deep relationship with my friends, but they are all interrupted.

Finally, I said, "My husband wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop. The son has to be raised, not waiting for relatives. Those who can't catch up will be old, and those who can't see will be near. " Then he killed himself. At this time, Confucius said: "Disciples know enough to quit!" So the disciples bid farewell to Confucius and went home to take care of their relatives, a group of 13 people.
