Historical stories about honesty: Han Xin repaid the kindness, Ceng Zi killed the pig, and Shang Yang established the wood as the letter.

1. Han Xin repay kindness

Han Xin was a famous general in the Han Dynasty. When he was young, his family was poor and he often had no food to eat. Once, he had a meal at an old woman's place. The old woman saw his pity and gave him a bag of rice. Han Xin was grateful to tears. Later, when she developed, she came back to the old woman to thank her again and gave her a daughter. Han Xin's spirit of repaying kindness has been passed down to this day.

2. Ceng Zi kills pigs

Ceng Zi is one of Confucius' disciples, and he attaches great importance to honesty. Once, his wife was going to the market, and the children cried and wanted to go together. The wife coaxed the child into saying, "Stay at home, and I'll kill the pig for you when I get back." The child stopped crying and waited at home for his mother to come back. After hearing this, Ceng Zi immediately went to catch pigs and prepared to kill them.

His wife stopped him and said, "I'm just trying to coax children, not really trying to kill pigs." Ceng Zi replied, "You know, children are role models for parents. If you cheat him now, you will not trust others after teaching him. " So, Ceng Zi killed the pig and satisfied the child's wish.

3. Shang Yang established a firm belief

Shang Yang was a famous politician in Qin State, and his new law was supported by Qin Xiaogong. In order to carry out the new law, he had a log erected at the south gate and announced that he would be given ten gold if he could carry the log to the north gate. Many people don't believe that there is such a good thing, but Shang Yang insisted on fulfilling his promise and made people trust him. After the promulgation of the new law, people also believed Shang Yang's promise and acted according to the new law. This is the story of "Shang Yang built a tree as a letter", which tells us the importance of honesty.
