Once upon a time, when Mencius was a child, his father died young, and his mother kept a festival and did not remarry. At first, they lived next to the cemetery. Mencius and his neighbor's children learned to bow down and cry like adults and played a funeral game. Mencius' mother looked at it and frowned: "No! I can't let my children live here! " Mencius' mother took Mencius to the market and lived near the place where pigs and sheep were slaughtered. When they arrived at the market, Mencius and the children in the neighborhood learned that businessmen were doing business and slaughtering pigs and sheep. Mencius' mother knew this and frowned: "This place is not suitable for my children to live in!" "So they moved again. This time, they moved near the school. At this time of the first day of the summer calendar every month, officials go to the Confucian Temple, bow down and treat each other with courtesy. Mencius learned to remember after seeing it. Mencius' mother nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is where my son should live!" " "When Mencius grew up, he learned six arts and gained the reputation of a great scholar. Mencius believed that all this was the result of Meng Mu's strict requirements and gradual enlightenment since childhood.
Yue Fei
More than 800 years ago, a little boy was born in a farmer's home in Yue Jiazhuang, tangyin county. His parents thought: What should I name the child? Just then, a flock of geese fell from the sky, and their parents said happily, "OK, just call it Yue Fei. May our son fly as high and far as these geese. " That's the name.
Soon after Yue Fei was born, the Yellow River burst, and the rolling Yellow River washed the Yue family to poverty, and life was very difficult. Although Yue Fei grew up in a poor family and had no food to eat, she was strictly disciplined by her mother and was stubborn and upright. On one occasion, Yue Fei had several sworn brothers who wanted to rob the road because they had no food. They came to ask Yue Fei out. Yue Fei thought of her mother's usual teaching, but she didn't agree. She advised them: "You must never do anything to stop people from killing for money!" After repeated persuasion by his brothers, Yue Fei was not tempted. When her mother-in-law came back from outside, Yue Fei told her the situation in detail. Mother said happily, "Son, you did the right thing. People are not poor and can't do things that harm the world! "
When Yue Fei was fifteen or sixteen years old, the Jin people from the north invaded the south, and those in power in the Song Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent, and the country was at a critical juncture. One day, her mother-in-law called Yue Fei to her side and said, "Now the country is in danger. What are your plans? "
"Go to the front line to kill the enemy and be loyal to the country!"
The mother-in-law is very satisfied with her son's answer. "Loyalty to the country" is the mother's hope for her son. She decided to tattoo these four words on her son's back to make him remember this oath forever. Yue Fei unbuttoned her coat and asked her mother to take the needle. The mother-in-law asked, "Are you afraid of pain?" Yue Fei said: "what is a small steel needle?" If you are afraid of needles, how can you go to the front to fight! " Mother-in-law writes on Yue Fei's back first, and then embroiders with needles. After the stabbing, my mother-in-law drew it in vinegar ink. Since then, the word "loyalty to the country" on Yue Fei's back has never faded.
Later, Yue Fei took "loyalty to the country" as the motto, went to the front line, bravely killed the enemy, made outstanding achievements, and became a famous anti-gold star.
Jiguang Qi
Qi Jiguang's father, Qi Jingtong, is a descendant of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. He was both civil and military, and he was very famous at that time.
At the age of 56, Qi Jingtong gave birth to Qi Jiguang, an old man, so he loved his children very much. Qi Jingtong hoped that his children would inherit their own career in the future, so he named them "Qi Jiguang".
When Qi Jiguang was a child with his father, he often saw military affairs such as marching and disposal. Qi Jiguang planted the seeds of "martial arts" in his young mind. He likes listening to stories about fighting with soldiers and playing military games with his friends. He made a "wall" out of mud, cut a wooden stick as a "flag", deployed troops and arranged battles. It's really like that. Seeing that his son likes military games so much, Qi Jingtong often comes to Qi Jiguang quietly, watching the children's games and showing them the way with a camera.
In order to cultivate children's talents, Qi Jingtong often teaches Qi Jiguang to read and write, and tells him stories about the ancients' hard study. Encourage Qi Jiguang to love learning and cultivate his thought of serving the country. Qi Jingtong said to Qi Jiguang: "The purpose of reading is to understand the four words of loyalty, filial piety, honesty and frugality. In this way, we can grow up to serve the country, honor our parents, work diligently for the public, and be honest. "
Although Qi Jingtong was full of hope for his son, he never relaxed his demands for fear that Qi Jiguang would be adversely affected by various aspects. Once, Qi Jiguang's grandmother sewed a pair of beautiful shoes for Qi Jiguang with silks and satins. Qi Jiguang was glad to put them on his feet, so he went to see Qi Jingtong. Qi Jingtong said seriously: "Wearing such good shoes at a young age is difficult to ensure that you will not crave enjoyment when you grow up. If you become an officer, who can guarantee that you will not embezzle wages? " Say that finish, Qi Jiguang had to take off his shoes. Qi Jiguang said it was from his grandmother. Qi Jingtong calmed down and asked Qi Jiguang not to wear such good things in the future.
Under the education of Qi Jingtong, Qi Jiguang developed the quality of not admiring vanity and striving for progress. Later, Qi Jiguang founded the "Qijiajun", led the army to the north and south, and finally wiped out the enemies who invaded China's frontier repeatedly, becoming a great national hero in China.
