The complete stories of Sima Guang

Sima Guang is an outstanding thinker and educator. There are many short stories about him. The following is the complete collection of stories about Sima Guang that I collected for you. I hope it helps you.

1, family impact

Sima Guang's honesty in his life should also be educated by his father. When he was about five or six years old, he tried peeling walnuts, but he couldn't. My sister wants to help him, but she can't leave. She left first. Later, a maid peeled walnuts for him with hot soup. When her sister came back, she asked, "Who helped you?" When he lied to his sister that he did it himself, his father scolded him: "How dare a boy lie?" Sima Guang never dared to lie. When he was old, he wrote it on paper, always encouraging himself to die and never telling a lie. Shao Yong's son Shao Bowen has also read this paper. A Qing Chen Hongmou said, "Sima Guang's life is based on sincerity and does not bully." The word "sincerity" was also used by later generations to define Sima Guang's coffin.

2. Break the urn to save friends

Once, Sima Guang and his friends were playing in the backyard. There is a big water tank in the yard. A child climbed to the edge of the tank to play and accidentally fell into Tanqueray. The water tank is very deep, and it seems that the child is going to have no roof. When other children saw that something was wrong, they cried and cried in fear and ran outside to ask adults for help. Sima Guang, however, used his quick wits to pick up a big stone from the ground and hit it hard at the water tank. "bang!" The water tank was broken, the water in the tank came out, and the child who was submerged in the water was saved. Xiao Sima Guang is calm and smart, and he has been like an adult since he was a child. This accidental event made Xiao Sima Guang famous, and people in Tokyo and Luoyang painted it and spread it widely.

3. Sell horses in good faith

Sima Guang wants to sell a horse, which is pure and beautiful in color, tall and fierce, and gentle in temperament. Unfortunately, he got lung disease in summer. Sima Guang said to the housekeeper, "This horse has lung disease in summer. This must be told to the buyer. " The housekeeper smiled and said, "Who is like you? How can you sell horses and tell the problems that others can't see! " Sima Guang disagreed with the housekeeper and said to him, "How much a horse is worth is a trivial matter. Telling people the truth will ruin the reputation of being a man. We must be honest in life. If we lose our integrity, the loss will be even greater. " The housekeeper was ashamed after hearing this.

4, low-key indifferent

Sima Guang is indifferent to luxury. In "Training Thrift to Show Health", he mentioned that his elders would dress him in gorgeous clothes after hours, and he always took them off with a blush. In the first year of Bao, he was received by Emperor Injong. At the banquet, everyone put flowers on their heads and played freely, but Sima Guang sat in a dangerous position without flowers. After being reminded by his peers, Sima Guang barely put on a small flower.

Sima Guang has an old servant who has always been called a "gentleman scholar". On one occasion, Su Shi came to Sima Guang's mansion and couldn't help laughing when he heard the servant's address. He said jokingly, "Your master is not a scholar, but a prime minister. Everyone is called' Shi Jun Xianggong'! " The old servant was surprised. Later, when they met Sima Guang, they all respectfully called him "Shi Jun Xianggong" and said happily, "Fortunately, Master Su taught me ..." Sima Guang sighed, "My old servant was taught badly by quilt Zhan."

5. Determined not to take concubinage

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the literati lived a prosperous life, and concubinage and whoring prevailed. Sima Guang, Rainbow Anshi and Yue Fei are very few people who don't take concubines or keep prostitutes. After more than 30 years of marriage, his wife, Mrs. Zhang, had no children. Sima Guang did not take it to heart, nor did he think about concubinage and having children. Mrs. Zhang is worried to death. On one occasion, she bought a beautiful woman behind Sima Guang's back, quietly put it in the bedroom, and then went out on an excuse. Sima Guang saw it, ignored it and went to the study to read. The beauty followed her to the study. After putting on airs, she took out another book, flipped through it and asked coyly, "Excuse me, sir, what is Zhong Cheng?" Sima Guang stood ten feet away from her with a straight face and handed him a reply: "Zhong Cheng is an official, not a book!" The beauty was bored and left disappointed.

On another occasion, Sima Guang went to her husband's house to enjoy flowers. Mrs. Zhang and her mother-in-law secretly arranged a beautiful maid. Sima Guang was rude and said angrily to the servant girl, "Go away! Why did you come to see me when my wife was away? " The next day, all the guests of the Zhang family knew about it and admired it very much, saying that it was like a replica of "Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun" growing old together. Only one person smiled: "It's a pity that Sima Guang can't play the piano, but only kick the tortoise!" " When Mrs. Zhang was childless for life, Sima Guang adopted his brother's son "Sima Kang" as his adopted son.

Sima Guang and his wife live together. Luoyang Lantern Festival is famous all over the world. On the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Zhang wants to go out and watch the lights. Sima Guang said, "There are lights at home, so why go out to see them?" Mrs. Zhang said, "Not only the lights, but also the tourists." Sima Guang smiled and said, "Look at people? Strange, am I a ghost! "

6. Bury your wife in a typical way

When Sima Guang was editing Zi Tong Zhi Jian in Luoyang, his residence was very poor, so he set up another basement for research. At that time, minister Wang also lived in Luoyang, and his mansion was very luxurious. Nave has built three floors, and the top floor is called Chaotian Pavilion. Luoyang people joked: "Wang Jia drilled into the sky and Sima entered the ground." After Sima Guang's wife died, poor Sima Guang didn't think of burial, and he didn't have the money for his wife's funeral. He wants to pawn the only three hectares of barren land, put the coffin in mourning and do his husband's duty. Sima Guang has been an official for nearly 40 years, so big that even his wife is a typical burial. Rereading history makes people think deeply.

As the saying goes: three years to clear the magistrate, 100 thousand snowflakes and silver. In feudal society, most people studied hard at the cold window and entered the official career in order to show off their family background, prosperity and wealth, and get the favor, shadow and descendants of future generations. In front of these people, Sima Guang's incorruptibility is even more commendable. In March of the eighth year of Jiaqing, Song Renzong gave Sima Guang more than one million yuan and countless silk treasures, but Sima Guang was unmoved. When Sima Guang was old and weak, his friend Liu Xianliang planned to spend 500,000 yuan to buy a maid for him. Sima Guang politely refused. He said: "For decades, I dare not eat meat often or wear coarse silk cloth. How dare I spend 500 thousand to hire a maid? "

7. The book collection is real.

Sima Guang's family has a rich collection of books. When he lived in Luoyang, he bought 20 acres of land and built a "unique paradise" with more than 10 thousand books on literature and history. He also established a "reading library", in which 5,000 copies of Jing Shan were opened and 2,400 copies of Writing Oracle were obtained. Good at protecting books, from Er Fu to Chongyang, every year, books are put on file to be exposed on sunny days. The console table is clean and covered with wormwood, but every household sits up and reads. When reading a book, don't hold it empty-handed, lest your hands get wet with sweat. After collecting books for decades, his books are still as good as new.

8. Luoyang Senior Citizens Association

After Sima Guang retired to Luoyang, thirteen people, including Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, admired the past of Bai Juyi's Nine Presbyterian Church, and gathered the old sages of Luoyang. He believes that Luoyang customs value age over official positions, so he built an "old-age hall" in Zisheng Hospital, calling it "Luoyang Old-age Club" and asked Huan to draw a portrait in it. At that time, he was seventy-nine, Wen Yanbo, Si and Si were seventy-seven, Wang Shanggong, a court doctor, was seventy-six, Feng Hangji, a secretary supervisor of Zhao Bing, Liu Ji and Wei Zhou, was seventy-five, Chu Jianzhong and Wang 72, a court doctor, and Zhang Wen and a bachelor of Long Tuge, a court doctor, were seventy. At that time, Xuanhui told Wang to stay in Beijing (Daming House) and wrote to Wen Yanbo who wanted to attend their rally. Wang is seventy-one. It's just that Sima Guang is not seventy years old, and Wen Yanbo has always valued him, so he invited him to join the partnership with the old example of the Tang Dynasty. Sima Guang didn't dare to be behind Fu and Wen, because he was a junior. Wen Yanbo didn't listen, so Zheng Huan passed the portrait of Sima Guang from behind the scenes, and then passed the portrait of the king to Beijing. So thirteen people attended the meeting, and they bought wine and wrote poems for fun. At that time, there were many famous ancient temples in Luoyang, with bamboo pavilions as the scenery. Sima Guang and others are all white-bearded, dignified and beautiful. Every time we get together, Luoyang people follow.

9. Be diligent and cherish time.

Sima Guang was a famous politician in the Northern Song Dynasty and a great scholar at that time. His historical work "Zi Tongzhi Jian" has been passed down through the ages and has far-reaching influence.

When Sima Guang was a child in a private school, he always thought he was not smart enough. He even thinks his memory is worse than others. In order to train his memory, he often spends two or three times more time memorizing and reciting things in books than others. Whenever the teacher finishes reading this book, other students can recite it after reading it for a while and then run out to play. Sima Guang stayed at school alone, closed the window, and continued to read and recite carefully until he understood everything, closed the book and recited it word by word.

He also used all his spare time, such as riding a horse, or when he couldn't sleep at night, while meditating and thinking about the content of the article. Over time, not only can he memorize what he has learned, but his memory is getting better and better. What he learned when he was young will never be forgotten. He studied meticulously and worked hard since childhood, which laid a solid foundation for his later writing.

Sima Guang devoted himself to research and writing all his life, often forgetting hunger, thirst, cold and heat.

10, sleep "police pillow"

Sima Guang is a playful and sleepy child, so he has been punished by his husband and laughed at by his peers. Under Mr. Wang's inculcation, he is determined to get rid of the bad habit of sleeping. In order to get up early, he drank a full stomach of water before going to bed. As a result, he didn't wake up in the morning, but he peed in bed.

So smart Sima Guang made a police pillow out of logs. When I turned over in the morning, my head fell on the bed board and I woke up naturally. From then on, he got up early every day to study, persevered, and finally became a great writer with profound knowledge, and wrote "Tongzhi Jian".

1 1, Sima enters the ground

Sima Guang, the minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, was conscientious, honest and thrifty all his life. There are only a few small and shabby old houses in Sima Guang's house. Summer is sultry as a pot, and sweat often drips on the manuscript paper, dripping with sweat and ink, which is vague and sometimes has to be rewritten. Later, he couldn't stand the heat, so he asked craftsmen to dig a big pit in the house and build a "basement", which was warm in winter and cool in summer, and became a good place for him to write his manuscript.

At that time, another official, Wang Xuanhui, lived in a luxurious high-rise building in Xijing Mingyuan for the summer, while Sima Guang went into the dark and closed basement to study and write hard. People laughed and said, "Wang Jia drilled into the sky and Sima entered the ground."

It took Sima Guang a whole 19 years, and he worked hard to finally write Zi Tong Zhi Jian.

On his deathbed, Emperor Renzong made a will and gave Sima Guang and other ministers a reward worth millions. Sima Guang believes that the country is in trouble at home and abroad, and it is in financial difficulties, so it can never accept this kind of reward. After Emperor Yingzong succeeded to the throne, he declared that "the life of the first emperor is inviolable", and Sima Guang had to accept it. He gave part of this huge reward to the suggestion institute at public expense and part of it was used to help poor relatives and friends.

Sima Guang held an important position and worked as a prime minister in his later years, but his family was not rich. When he was in Xijing, there was no charcoal fire at home in winter. Guests can only cook a cup of chestnut soup to entertain them. When his wife died, he had to set aside a piece of land to attend to the funeral.

12, Sima sells horses

One day, Sima Guang, a famous historian in the Northern Song Dynasty, ordered the housekeeper to take a big horse he once rode to the market for sale. An old man wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive.

The housekeeper said, "To tell you the truth, this is my mount of Sima Xianggong. He is busy editing books now, and he doesn't need a horse. He wants me to sell it. Otherwise, 50 ounces will not be sold! "

After listening to this, the old man said sincerely, "I have the honor to buy a good horse from Sima Xianggong, and I will bring all my money to lead the horse tomorrow."

When the housekeeper returned to the house, she told Sima Guang about it excitedly. Sima Guang said to himself, "This horse has been with me for six years, and I really can't bear to part with it ... Hey, there is something wrong with this horse. How could I forget to tell you? "

The housekeeper said, "I know there is something wrong with this horse, but it is fat and strong, and its coat color is good." Who can tell? " If you are sick, how can you sell it for 50? "

Sima Guang said seriously, "You can't do this! You must make it clear to the buyer tomorrow and renegotiate the price. I think 30 yuan will do.

The next day, the housekeeper truthfully explained the situation to the old man, and repeatedly said that Sima Xianggong took care of him specially to prevent him from being fooled.

Later, people who knew this in the market praised Sima Guang for his honesty.

13, peeling walnuts

When Sima Guang was five or six years old, he once took a green walnut and asked his sister to help him peel it. My sister didn't peel it for a long time, so she left angrily. After a while, the maid came over, knowing that Sima Guang wanted to eat walnuts, she scooped up a bowl of boiling water and put the green walnuts in the water. Walnuts peel easily when soaked in boiling water. Sima Guang's sister came out of the back room and saw him eating walnuts. She asked who peeled the walnuts. Sima Guang said, "Of course I peeled it. I have an idea. I soaked it in boiling water and the skin fell off. " Just then, Sima Guang's father came into the room and reprimanded him severely: "You child, how can you lie!" " "It turns out that the scene where the maid peeled walnuts for Sima Guang happened to be clearly seen by the father outside the window. Sima Guang knew he was wrong and bowed his head at once. From then on, he kept in mind his father's teachings, lived honestly and never lied again.

14, dear brother

Sima Guang' s younger brother, Sima Dan, was very old when he was about eighty years old, but he never entrusted servants to take care of his younger brother, but took care of himself. Serve your brother like a father. Especially the elderly are weak and have indigestion, so they need to eat less and eat more meals. So whenever soon after dinner, Sima Guang always greets his brother kindly: "Are you hungry? Would you like something else? " Pay attention almost all the time, just like taking care of a baby. When the weather turns slightly cold, Sima Guang often caresses his brother's back and asks with concern, "Is the clothes too thin?" Will it be cold? "How warm and touching it is to be with my brother every day! As the saying goes, "When we meet each other late and grow old together, when can we be brothers?"? "Sima Guang made the sincere friendship between brothers to the extreme and passed it down as a beautiful talk between ancient and modern times. Through Sima Guang's four short stories, we can get a glimpse of his impeccable morality, knowledge and self-restraint, which is due to his filial piety, friendship and loyalty. All this is because Sima Guang received a good family education from an early age and developed the nature of "habit becomes nature, and less becomes nature". Sima Kang, the son of Sima Guang, also inherited his father's ambition. He has been diligent and studious since childhood. He is not only knowledgeable and familiar with the history of Confucian classics, but also participated in the compilation of his father's Zi Tong Zhi Jian with rigorous academic attitude and profound historical knowledge. Serving parents is also extremely filial. I was very sad when my mother died. I haven't dropped water for three days and nights. My filial piety is sincere. Sima Guang's model of human relations is a monument admired by later generations.

We all know the story of Sima Guang's four children, which reflects Sima Guang's extraordinary wit and courage since he was a child. As a matter of fact, Sima Guang was a famous minister of the five dynasties in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was knowledgeable all his life. In his later years, he created a magnificent history book, "Learning from the Same Resources", and he was an outstanding politician and historian in Chinese history. Why did Sima Guang achieve such brilliance …
