In the state of Lu in the Zhou Dynasty, there was a man named Min named Zi Qian. His mother died when he was very young. My father married his second wife, and she gave birth to two younger brothers in succession. People are selfish, because they are not biological, so stepmother treats children differently. Stepmothers are usually very bad to their children. In the severe winter, the stepmother dressed her two children in warm cotton-padded clothes, and even when they played outdoors, their faces were red. Poor Zi Qian was wrapped in a thin dress made of reed flowers. The weather is cold and the wind is biting. Zi Qian is often stiff and blue with cold.
One cold winter, Zi Qian's father was on a business trip and asked Zi Qian to drive. In the ice and snow, where can Zi Qian's clothes made of reeds resist the cold in winter? My hands are frozen stiff and my lips are purple with cold. A cold wind blew, and Zi Qian's trembling body couldn't catch the reins. When he missed, the driver's saddle fell off, causing a great shock to the carriage.
The father sitting in the back shook badly and was very angry. He thought, even the carriage is too big to drive well! You have to get out and yell. When I was about to scold, I suddenly found that my face was purple and I was shaking all over. Strangely, he stepped forward and pulled open Zi Qian's skirt, suddenly his face changed greatly and his eyes were moist: So, Zi Qian's? Cotton coat? The forest is full of reeds, not a trace of cotton! My father flew into a rage. I didn't expect my wife in bed to be so vicious, so I immediately decided to kick her out. After hearing this, Zi Qian plopped down on his knees and hugged his father with tears in his eyes. I was the only one who was cold when my mother was around.

Father was very moved and stopped driving his wife away. Seeing that Min Ziqian didn't hold a grudge at all, her stepmother regretted it and later took care of Min Ziqian as her own child.

One day, Geng Xu angrily asked Mozi: Teacher, among so many students, am I so bad that I am often scolded by your old man?
Mozi didn't get angry after listening: suppose I go to Taihang Mountain now. In your opinion, should I use a horse-drawn cart or an old ox?
Farming column reply:? Even fools know how to use horse-drawn carts well. ?
Mozi asked again:? So, why not use the old cow?
Farming column reply:? The reason is simple, because a good horse is enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility and is worth driving away. ?
Mozi said:? Your answer is not wrong. I often scold you just because you can shoulder the heavy responsibility and deserve your teaching and correction again and again. ?

After the messenger left, Liezi's wife lamented: I heard that people who have the means can live happily in their families, but now I am pale and thin with hunger. Guo Xiang asked someone to give you food, but you didn't accept it. Aren't you destined to be poor all your life?
Liezi smiled and explained to his wife: I refused food from Guo Xiang, because Guo Xiang didn't really know me, but only gave me millet after listening to others. In the future, he will also blame me for listening to others. That's why I don't accept it. Moreover, it is unjust to accept the support of others and not solve problems for others; How can it be just to work for him and sacrifice for such a heartless man as Guo Xiang?

Stories of Ancient Celebrities Educating Children (South Court and North Court)
There used to be two neighboring countries, each with a border pavilion. The pavilion pawns also planted watermelons in their respective fields. The pavilions in the north are industrious and melons grow well. The south pavilion is lazy and the melon is weak.
People in Nanting were ashamed, so they sneaked in at night and tore up all the melons and seedlings in the north. The next day, the people in Beiting knew about it and were very angry. They reported to the local chief that we had gone there and stripped all their melons and seedlings.
The officer said: of course they are despicable to do so. However, we obviously don't want them to spoil our seedlings. Why do we smash other people's melons instead? If others are wrong, it is too narrow for us to follow suit. From today on, water their seedlings every night to let them grow well, but they must not know. ?
People in Beiting thought it was reasonable, so they did it. People in Nanting found that their melons were getting longer every day. They found that people in Beiting quietly watered them at night, so they reported it to their officers. After hearing this, the first mate felt ashamed and admired, and told the South King about it. After hearing about it, Nanwang felt the sincerity of northerners in mending neighborhood relations, and specially prepared a heavy gift for Beiwang to show repentance and reward.

Stories of ancient celebrities educating their children (no right and wrong, no evil)
Yan Hui once asked Confucius how to get along with friends, and the master replied? A gentleman only says that he doesn't understand that a friend is a kind person, even if he thinks the other person is unfair. It is the intention of a benevolent person to never forget his friend's old kindness and not hate the past. ?
Wu Shu once visited Yan Hui, accused others of their mistakes and commented on them. Yan Hui said? Thank you for coming here. It should give you something. I once heard the master say: talking about other people's mistakes can't show your own benefits; You can't show your integrity by talking about the evil of others. Therefore, a moral person will only talk about things and blame his own mistakes without criticizing others' mistakes. ?
Yan Hui said to Zigong again:? Confucius said:' It is incoherent to expect others to be polite to you and immoral to you, but to expect others to be moral to you. ? Master, you really have to ponder this sentence! ?
Words of little wisdom: Disciples Rules says: Seeing people is evil, that is, introspection. If there is, change it, and don't add police. ? Another cloud:? To preach evil is evil. If the illness is very serious, it will be a disaster. ? This is to teach us that when we see other people's mistakes, we should not belittle, blame or publicize them, but take this opportunity to reflect on ourselves first, correct them if they are wrong, and encourage them if they are not. What's more, sometimes what we see and hear is not necessarily the truth. If we criticize and publicize it for no reason, we will be involved in the spread of rumors about right and wrong. It is human nature to make mistakes. If we can understand others with an inclusive and forgiving heart, and then give care, help and reminder, I believe it will make us more harmonious, and it will also make people feel ashamed and change their minds.
The story of ancient celebrities educating their children (Song Huan sinned himself)
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Song suffered a big flood, and the monarch of Lu sent people to express condolences. Yu Yu, the son of Duke Zhuang of Song Dynasty, said later that Duke Huan of Song was ordered by his father to tell the messenger of Lu. Due to my disrespect, a disaster happened yesterday, which worried your monarch. We are very sorry about this. ? In this regard, I received a message of condolences from King Lu.
Zang Wenzhong, a doctor in the state of Lu, knew about this and said, "The State of Song is about to rise." In the past, King Xia Yu and King Shang Tang often blamed themselves, so they both rose quickly. The monarch of national subjugation, Xia Jie, and the Yin and Zhou Dynasties all complained, so they all perished. Moreover, in the princes and countries, when there is a fierce disaster, it is the most appropriate ceremony to call yourself an orphan. Since the words are fearful and the address is polite, there is no doubt about the rise of the Song State. ?
Little wisdom: the ancients once said: a gentleman makes a mistake and sincerely apologizes to others; When a villain makes a mistake, he tries to cover it up when explaining it to others. ? Duke Huan of Song is a wise master who can treat things as a gentleman, sympathize with the people and offend himself. Modesty makes people progress, while pride makes people lag behind. Only by reflecting on ourselves and seeing our own shortcomings can we have the possibility and space for progress.
Stories of Ancient Celebrities Educating Children (Dismantling People)
Confucius went to Song State. When he arrived in Kuangdi, because Yang Hu used violence against the people in Kuang Di, Confucius and Yang Hu looked very similar, so the people in Kuang Di thought Yang Hu was coming again and reported it to Jane, the owner of Kuang Di. Upon hearing this, Jane immediately led the soldiers, put on armor and rode a horse, and surrounded Confucius and his party.
Lutz is brave by nature. He was very unhappy when he saw the siege of the Kuang people. He took up arms and will fight them to the death. However, at this time, Confucius can calmly check whether he is wrong or not. Then the ritual and music were enlightened, so that Luz took out his piano, let Luz sing and make peace by himself, and express his euphemistic feelings with that sad tune. This move is completely different from Yang Hu. The angry Kuang people suddenly calmed down and thought carefully. Although this man looks like a tiger, he is a polite gentleman. It turns out that he is the great sage Confucius of Lu! Feeling ashamed and annoyed, Kuang automatically took off his armor to show inviolability and quietly left.
Words of wisdom: When we encounter some setbacks or sudden changes in our lives, we should think calmly and not lose our minds. Because sometimes it may just be a small misunderstanding. If you are impulsive, it may deepen the misunderstanding and make the problem worse. Being able to give reasons, observe others with a kind heart and face them objectively will help to eliminate misunderstandings, thus resolving contradictions and making each other more harmonious.
