Five stories about honesty 1. Establishing Yan Shu's reputation Yan Shu, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, is known for his honesty.
when he was fourteen, he was recommended to the emperor as a child prodigy. The emperor summoned him and asked him to take the exam at the same time with more than 1 Jinshi.
As a result, Yan Shu found that he had just practiced the exam ten days ago, so he reported it to Zhenzong truthfully and asked to change other topics. Song Zhenzong highly appreciated Yan Shu's honesty and gave him the title of "fellow Jinshi".
when Yan Shu took office, the world was at peace. As a result, officials of all sizes in Beijing often visit the suburbs or hold various banquets in restaurants and teahouses in the city.
Yan Shu's family is poor and has no money to go out to eat, drink and have fun, so he has to read and write articles with his brothers at home. One day, Zhenzong promoted Yan Shu to be the East Palace official who assisted the Prince in his studies.
The ministers were surprised and wondered why Zhenzong made such a decision. Zhenzong said: "Recently, the ministers often play and have banquets. Only Yan Shu studies behind closed doors, so he is self-respecting and cautious, which is the right candidate for the East Palace official."
Yan Shu thanked him and said, "I am actually a person who likes to play and eat, but my family is poor. If I had money, I would have participated in the banquet tour. "
These two things made Yan Shu establish credibility in front of his ministers, and Song Zhenzong trusted him even more. 2. Comparison between Washington and Nixon and Clinton Washington cut down a cherry tree of his father with a small axe.
My father was very angry when he saw his beloved tree being cut down, and threatened to teach that tree-chopping a lesson. And Washington admitted his mistake in front of his angry father.
Father was moved, saying that honesty in Washington is much more precious than all cherry trees. It was also American President Nixon who was forced to take the blame and resign because he lied in the Watergate Incident. Clinton was also impeached for lying in the disgraceful scandal.
One is loved and respected for his honesty, and the other two have left a stain on political history because of their lies. 3. Comparison between Standing on the Tree as the Faith and the Stages of the Beacon Play During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shang Yang of Qin presided over the political reform with the support of Qin Xiaogong.
At that time, when wars were frequent and people were in panic, in order to establish prestige and promote reform, Shang Yang ordered a 3-foot-long wood to be erected outside the south gate of the capital, and made a promise in public: whoever can move this wood to the north gate will be rewarded with 12 taels. Onlookers don't believe that such an easy thing can get such a high reward, so no one is willing to give it a try.
So Shang Yang raised the reward to 5 gold. There must be a brave man under the four rewards. Finally, someone stood up and carried the wood to the north gate.
Shang Yang immediately rewarded him with fifty gold. Shang Yang's move established prestige in the hearts of the people, and Shang Yang's next reform was soon popularized in Qin State.
The new law made the State of Qin gradually strong and eventually unified China. And also in the place where Shang Yang "established a tree as a letter", 4 years ago, there was a ridiculous farce of "playing a vassal in a bonfire".
Zhou Youwang has a favorite princess named Bao Si. In order to win her smile, Zhou Youwang ordered more than 2 beacon towers near the capital to light bonfires-bonfires are the signal of border warning, which can only be lit when foreign enemies invade and need to call governors to rescue them. As a result, when the princes saw the bonfire, they led the soldiers to arrive in a hurry, realized that this was a trick for the king to smile for his wife, and then left angrily.
I finally smiled happily when I saw that the princes with great prestige were at a loss. Five years later, you Yi Tai Rong attacked Zhou on a large scale, and the bonfire of you Wang reignited, but the princes did not arrive-no one wanted to be fooled again.
As a result, you Wang was forced to commit suicide, and he was also captured. A "standing up to win the trust" promises a thousand dollars; An emperor didn't believe it, playing the game of "wolf coming".
As a result, the former succeeded in political reform and the country was strong. The latter, bring disgrace to oneself, died. It can be seen that "trust" plays a very important role in the rise and fall of a country.
4. Yu Ion recorded a story that a businessman in Jiyang lost his life because of his bad faith. When he was crossing the river, his boat sank. He grabbed a hemp pole and shouted for help. A fisherman heard the sound.
The businessman quickly shouted, "I am the richest man in Jiyang. If you can save me, I will give you 1 taels of gold.". After being rescued ashore, the businessman turned against him and refused to admit it.
He only gave the fisherman 1 taels of gold. The fisherman accused him of breaking his word and going back on his word.
The rich man said, "You are a fisherman. You can't earn much money all your life. Aren't you satisfied with suddenly getting twelve taels of gold?" My husband had to be disgruntled. Unexpectedly, the rich man capsized in the same place again.
When someone tried to save him, the man who had been cheated by him said, "He is the man who broke his word!" " So the merchant drowned. It is accidental that the businessman capsized twice and met the same husband, but it is expected that the businessman will not be rewarded well.
because if a person doesn't keep his word, he will lose the trust of others. Therefore, once he is in trouble, no one is willing to rescue him.
those who break their promises will have to wait and die once they are in trouble. 5. Ji Bu's promise saved him from disaster. At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu, who always kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people established a strong friendship with him.
At that time, there was even a proverb: "It's better to get a promise than a hundred catties of gold." (This is the origin of the idiom "a promise is worth a thousand pounds") Later, he offended Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and was offered a reward for his capture.
As a result, his old friends not only didn't get confused by the heavy money, but also risked destroying the nine clans to protect him from disaster. If a person is honest and trustworthy, he will naturally get a lot of help and gain everyone's respect and friendship.
on the other hand, if you are greedy for temporary comfort or petty gain, but you break your promise to your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, which is much more important than material things.
therefore, breaking a promise to a friend is tantamount to losing a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, which is not worth the loss. 7\ The Story of Honesty \ In the riverside park in new york, there stands the Monument to the Soldiers Killed in the Civil War, and many tourists come to pay homage to the dead every year.
The tomb of General Grant, the 18th President of the United States and commander in chief of the Union Army during the Civil War, is located in the north of the park. The mausoleum is tall, majestic, solemn and simple.
behind the mausoleum, there is a large green lawn, stretching to the boundary of the park and the edge of the steep cliff. Behind General Grant's mausoleum, closer to the cliff, there is also a child's mausoleum.
It's a very small and ordinary tomb. In any other place, you may ignore it. Like most American tombs, it is only a small one. 4. Idioms, famous sayings and stories about honesty
