Zi Gong, an outstanding disciple of Confucius. Later, he abandoned his official position and became the richest disciple of Confucius. The business community has always recognized him as the "ancestor of Confucian businessmen".
In 479 BC, Confucius, a great thinker and educator in ancient China, died suddenly. After the death of Confucius, the disciples mourned for three years and left each other. The only one who kept the tomb for six years was Zigong Building House, who was the first model in China to respect teachers and respect morality. Later generations felt this matter, built three rooms and set up the "Zigong Lu Tomb" monument. Because Zigong was planted as a regular script tree in the tomb of Confucius, later generations commemorated the sage with the word "Fan".
2. Yue Fei and Three Arrows
Yue Fei's teacher is called Zhou Tong. It is said that he is very strong and can pull a bow and arrow of 300 Jin. After Zhou Tong's death, Yue Fei would go to the teacher's grave and cry bitterly on the first and fifteenth day of every year. After crying, I will definitely pick up the 300-catty bow sent by my teacher and shoot three arrows before I go back. He never forgets the true feelings of his teacher's kindness, which is precisely his loyalty to serve his country in the future.
3. Emperor Han Ming still respects Huan Rong with his teacher's courtesy.
Liu Zhuang was the second emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. During Ming Di's rule, the bureaucracy was very clear, and the territory was stable and unified.
Dr Huan Rong was the teacher of Emperor Han Ming when he was a prince, and Ming Di always respected this teacher very much. Later, he succeeded to the throne and became the emperor who respected Huan Rong as a teacher. On one occasion, Ming Di went to Taichang Mansion, where there was a teacher's desk and chair, so he asked the teacher Huan Rong to sit in the east, and called all civil and military officials to pay tribute to the teachers and students on the spot.
When Huan Rong was ill, Ming Di sent someone to offer condolences, and even went to see the teacher himself. Every time I visit my teacher, Ming Emperor City gets off the bus as soon as he enters the street to show his respect. After Huan Rong's death, Ming Di changed his clothes, attended the funeral in person, and made proper arrangements for his children. Ming Di can put down his supreme position of "Nine Statues" to respect teachers, which shows his intentions and demeanor and is worth learning.
Emperor Taizong chartered Li Gang to enter the palace in a sedan chair.
Emperor Taizong was a wise king in the history of our country. He attaches great importance to children's education. The teachers he chose for several princes were highly respected and knowledgeable people, such as Li Gang, Zhang, and so on. He also repeatedly taught his children to respect teachers. On one occasion, Li Gang was inconvenient to walk because of his foot disease. At that time, the system in the palace was so strict that officials were afraid to go in and out, let alone take a sedan chair.
After learning about this, Emperor Taizong authorized Li Gang to give lectures in the palace in a sedan chair, and ordered the prince to visit the teacher. On another occasion, Emperor Taizong heard that Lee Tae, the fourth son of the emperor, didn't respect his teacher Wang Gui. He criticized Lee Tae in front of Wang Gui and said, "Every time you see the teacher in the future, you should respect it, just like seeing me. You can't relax at all." From then on, when Lee Tae met Wang Gui, he always welcomed him and listened carefully. Due to the strict family education of Emperor Taizong, several of his princes respected their teachers.
5. It snows at the gate of Shi Yang.
The idiom "Chengmen Sydney" is a household name. It comes from the story of Shi Yang, a famous philosopher in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Shi Yang, a native of Jiangle County, went to the village to study at the age of four, wrote poems at the age of seven and at the age of eight, so he was called a child prodigy. At the age of fifteen, he studied classics and history, and in nine years, he became a scholar in Xining. One year, on the way to Liuyang as a county magistrate, Shi Yang took pains to bypass Luoyang and learn from the famous Neo-Confucianism and educator Cheng Yi.
One day in winter, Shi Yang and his classmate You Zuo had different views on a certain problem, so they went to the teacher's house for advice. When they came to the Cheng family against the cold wind, it happened that Mr. Wang was sitting by the fire meditating to recuperate. Shi Yang didn't dare to disturb the teacher, so they stood respectfully outside the door, waiting for Mr. Wang to wake up.
After a long time, Cheng Yi woke up and found Shi Yang and Youzuo standing in the snow outside the window. They were covered with snow, and the snow under their feet was more than a foot thick. They got up quickly and welcomed them into the house. Since then, the story of "Chengmen Sydney" has become a beautiful talk of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching forever.
