1. Famous quotes about honesty and trustworthiness (classical Chinese)
Several short stories about honesty and trustworthiness
Honesty means loyalty and integrity, consistent words and deeds, and consistency between appearance and appearance. To be trustworthy means to keep one's word and not to be hypocritical or deceitful. The ancient sayings that have been passed down for thousands of years, such as "Words must be kept true and deeds must bear fruit" and "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow it" all vividly express the honesty and trustworthiness of the Chinese nation. In the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, people have not only sung praises for the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness, but also worked hard to practice it.
Confucius taught his disciples to be honest more than 2,000 years ago. In learning, if you know something, say you know it, and if you don’t know something, say you don’t know it. He believes that this is the correct attitude towards learning.
Zengzi was also a very honest and trustworthy person. Once, Zengzi's wife was going to the market, but her son was crying and she had to go. The wife coaxed the child and said, "Don't go. I will come back and kill the pig for you to eat." When she came back from the market, she saw that Zengzi was about to kill the pig, and she quickly stepped forward to stop him. Zengzi said, if you deceive a child, the child will not trust you. With that said, he killed the pig. Zengzi did not deceive his children and cultivated their children's character of trustworthiness.
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu who always kept his promises and kept his word. People say, "It is better to get a hundred catties of gold than to get a promise of Jibu." This is the idiom that only with the help of friends can one survive. And if you have faith, you will naturally get everyone's favor:
In the old days, the doorways of Chinese shops usually had the words "Genuine goods at reasonable prices, no deception". Eight words have been used in the purchase and sale of goods since ancient times. We promote industry ethics of fair dealing, honest hospitality, and no fraud or fraud.
In contemporary China, the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness has also been carried forward. This virtue is manifested in work and study, which means concentration, conscientiousness, and seeking truth from facts; in dealing with people, it is treating people sincerely and trusting each other; in its attitude towards the country and the collective, it is being law-abiding, loyal and honest.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a very honest man named Ming Shanbin. When he was a state official, he offended the court by opening a warehouse to help the poor and was dismissed from his position.
One day, seeing that there was no way to untie the pot at home, he took the lean cow that his father had left for him and sold it in the market. But when I returned home, I learned from my wife that the cow had suffered from leg disease, so I hurried to the market, found the buyer, explained the situation to him, and took the initiative to refund half of the money. Everyone around was amazed. 2. The meaning of Shou in ancient Chinese
