The story of Zilu borrowing rice to honor his parents

There is an old Chinese saying: "Filial piety is the first of all good deeds." This means that honoring parents is the first among all virtues. If a person does not know how to honor his parents, it is difficult to imagine that he will love the motherland and its people.

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

Zilu was a native of Lu in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Among the disciples of Confucius, he was famous for his political affairs. Especially famous for his bravery. But Zilu's family was very poor when he was young, and he lived on coarse grains and wild vegetables for many years.

Once, the elderly parents wanted to eat rice, but there was no rice at home. What should they do? Zilu thought that if he climbed a few mountains to borrow some rice from his relatives, wouldn't he be able to satisfy his parents' request?

So Xiao Zilu walked more than ten miles over the mountains and ridges, and carried back a small bag of rice from his relatives' house. Seeing his parents eating the fragrant rice, Zilu forgot about his fatigue. Neighbors praised Zilu for being a brave and filial boy.

Case 2

Bao Gong is Bao Zheng (999-1062 AD), named Xiren, from Hefei, Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui Province). His father Bao Yi was a former imperial minister. After his death, he was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment posthumously. When he was young, Bao Gong was known for his filial piety and his straightforward and honest nature. In the fifth year of Emperor Renzong's reign in the Song Dynasty, that is, in 1027 AD, he won the imperial examination at the age of 28. He first served as a judge at Dali Temple, and later as the county magistrate of Jianchang (now Yongxiu, Jiangxi Province). Because his parents were old and unwilling to follow him to other places, Bao Gong immediately resigned from his official position and returned home to take care of his parents. His filial piety was praised by officials.

A few years later, his parents passed away one after another, and Bao Gong re-entered his official career. This was done only after the hard persuasion of the villagers. In feudal society, if parents only have one son, the son cannot leave his parents alone and become an official in other places. This is against the provisions of feudal law. Under normal circumstances, parents will follow for the sake of their son's future. Or the son and other members of the family may advise. It was rare in the feudal era for parents to be unwilling to follow their son to serve as an official for retirement, because it meant that the son had to abide by the constraints of feudal ethics and resign his official position to take care of himself. The history books do not specify the specific reason. It may be that his parents were ill and could not bear the bumps on the road, so Bao Gong resigned from his official position.

No matter what the situation is, Bao Gong can take the initiative to resign from his official position, which still shows that he is not the kind of person who is obsessed with officialdom. Filial piety to parents can also serve as an example for some people with low quality today. In the past, most of the stories were about Bao Gong's selflessness, and ignored Bao Gong's filial piety to his parents.

Example 3

Huang Xiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a historically recognized model of "filial piety". When Huang Xiang was a child, her family was in a difficult situation. She lost her mother at the age of 10 and her father was sick. On sultry summer days, he used a fan to swat mosquitoes before going to bed, and cooled the bed and pillow where his father slept, so that his father could fall asleep earlier; on cold winter nights, he got into the cold bed and warmed it with his body. Then he let his father go to bed; in winter, he couldn't afford a cotton-padded jacket. In order to prevent his father from being sad, he never cried out, showed joy and joy, and tried hard to create a happy atmosphere at home, so that his father could feel relieved and recover as soon as possible. .

Example 4

The older generation revolutionary Zhu De wrote the article "Remembering My Mother", praising his mother's incomparable love and noble qualities with infinite affection. When Mao Zedong received a letter from home that his mother was critically ill, he set out on the road at starry night, traveling day and night. He stroked his mother's coffin and cried loudly. In his grief, he wrote the "Essay on Mother's Commemoration": "My mother is high in the wind, and I recommend fraternity above all else." Soong Ching Ling was extremely filial and sincere, and "wept endlessly" in front of her mother's death. Chen Yi visited his mother and insisted on washing clothes for her mother who was paralyzed in bed. Li Peng was extremely filial to his mother. During holidays, Li Peng and his wife would always bring their mother's favorite food and go to her place to say hello.

Case 5

3. Carry forward the national spirit and be determined to serve the motherland

Honoring parents is the national spirit of our country. Back then, Emperor Yongzheng ruled the world with filial piety. Nowadays, there are many stories among the people about celebrities honoring their parents, such as: saving you from the fire, saving your mother by sucking phlegm... The story that moved me the most is the story of "Chen Yi visiting his mother".

In 1962, Marshal Chen Yi returned from a visit abroad. He passed by his hometown and took time to visit his old mother who was seriously ill.

Chen Yi’s mother is paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of herself. When Chen Yi entered the house, the mother was very happy. Just as she was about to say hello to her son, she suddenly remembered that the diaper she had changed was still beside the bed, so she motioned to the people around her to hide it under the bed.

Chen Yi was very excited when he saw his mother after a long absence. He stepped forward to hold her mother's hand and asked eager questions. After a while, he said to his mother: "Mom, what did you hide under the bed when I came in?" Her mother couldn't hide it, so she had to tell the truth. After hearing this, Chen Yi hurriedly said: "Bear it, you have been bedridden for a long time, and I can't be by your side. I feel very sad. I should wash these pants, why hide them." The mother was very embarrassed after hearing this, and the people next to her quickly washed them. I took out the diapers and rushed to wash them.

Chen Yi hurriedly blocked it and said emotionally: "Mom, you washed my diapers countless times when I was a child. Even if I wash 10 diapers today, I still can't repay your kindness in raising me!" After saying that, Chen Yi said The diapers and other dirty clothes were taken out and washed, and the mother smiled happily.

Classmates, we have grown from little baby sucklings to fifth grade primary school students. Have you ever thought that in the past ten years or so, our parents have to work hard and contribute more to the modernization of the motherland; on the other hand, they have to take care of the housework and work day and night for our healthy growth. How unfair this is. Easy! Our parents poured infinite love into us, which was full of the spirit of self-sacrifice. Now, we should understand the painstaking efforts of our parents and should respect them.

Honoring parents is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and a concrete manifestation of loving the people. In today's society, some people forget their parents' nurturing grace and do not respect their parents. This is a very immoral behavior.

To honor your parents means to respect and love your parents, obey your mother's teachings, care for your parents, take the initiative to share your parents' hard work, be a good child at home and a good student at school. When he grew up, he taught himself to take on the responsibility of supporting his parents.

Students, let us carry forward the national spirit of filial piety to our parents from an early age and be determined to contribute all our strength to serving the motherland.
