1, Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism: taking Xue as a model of respecting teachers.
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 education forever.
2. Zi Gong, the ancestor of Confucian merchants: a model of respecting teachers and respecting Taoism, and sincere filial piety.
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, educator and sage 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".
3. Yue Fei, a national hero: respect for teachers and respect for morality, and lifelong yearning.
Yue Fei (posthumous title: Mu) is a famous military strategist in the history of our country, and a famous commander-in-chief in the Southern Song Dynasty who fought against gold. His military talent was praised as the most outstanding military commander in the Song, Liao, Jin and Xixia Dynasties.
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.
4. Liu Zhuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: Let go of the nine statues and respect the teachers.
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.
5. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong: It is a good story to teach children to respect teachers and respect morality.
Li Shimin, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was a rare monarch in the history of our country, which initiated the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin knows that it is very important for a country to prosper and maintain long-term stability and do a good job in children's education. He thought it was "urgent today" to teach princes and princes. Therefore, the teachers he chose for his sons were highly respected and knowledgeable people. In addition, children are repeatedly told to respect their teachers.
On one occasion, Li Gang, the teacher of the Prince, could not walk because of his foot disease. What shall we do? In feudal society, the harem was heavily guarded. Except for the emperor and his concubines and children, other officials don't say they are riding in a sedan chair, even they are afraid of going in and out. After learning this, Emperor Taizong chartered Li Gang to give lectures in a sedan chair, and ordered the Crown Prince to meet the teacher himself.
Later, Emperor Taizong also called Guiwang, the minister of rites, as the teacher of Wang Wei, the fourth son. One day, he heard someone complain that Wang Wei didn't respect his teacher. Emperor Taizong was very angry. He criticized his son in front of Wang Gui and said, "Every time you see Wang Gui in the future, you should respect him as you see me, and you can't relax at all." Since then, when Wang Wei met Miss Gui, he always welcomed her and listened carefully.
Due to the strict family education of Emperor Taizong, his sons respected their teachers and never showed disrespect. Emperor Taizong's adopted son, who respected teachers and respected Taoism, was also passed down as a much-told story by later generations.
