This person was particularly famous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was one of the famous Spring and Autumn Three Masters, and there are three words related to him, namely cutting stocks to fill hunger, resigning from the official without saying a word, and holding a tree to death.
And what is the specific story? In the early years of Jin Wen Gongzhong'er to avoid his father and brothers to pursue and kill, often did not have enough to eat, drink, and did not cover his body. Later, his entourage also stole his food, so he begged others, only to be ridiculed. In order to let him live, he ran to the ravine and cut off a piece of his own meat, and dug up wild vegetables to cook for Heavy Ear to eat, and after Heavy Ear knew, his heart was very touched, and promised that one day when he became a king, he would repay him well.
However, Zhong'er finally became the Duke of Jin after nineteen years of exile. At that time, when the Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, "the reward was not exhausted", so he sent troops to serve the king, "to reward the deceased who did not go to the hermit". In this regard, the meson push did not take the initiative to ask for rewards like Uncle Hu (a Tao Uncle Fox). He said that the return of Jin Wengong to the country was actually providential, but Jiezitui believed that the behavior of the loyal prince was natural, there was no need to get a reward, and it was a shame to accept the reward, and foxes and others who "thought that they were their own strength" were tantamount to thieves who "stole people's wealth", so it was "difficult to deal with". It was wrong for Meson Tui to ignore the power of Fox Yan and others, but there was no resentment towards Jin Wengong in it, and there was no envy for fame and fortune. Some are contemptuous of foxes, uncles and others who chase glory and wealth. Some people who did not follow The Duke Wen of Jin on the run (e.g., Shu tou Shu) asked for rewards by saying some ugly words in order to be greedy and cheap, and Jiezi Tui was very angry, and then lived in seclusion in Mianshan and became a hermit who did not eat Junlu.
Meson Tui refused to be rewarded, and once gave a poem, "There are dragons flying, all over the world." The five serpents followed it and assisted it. The dragon rebelled against its homeland and got its place. From it, the four serpents received their dew and rain. A snake was ashamed and died in Nakano. The neighbors unsheathed their sons and wrote a letter at night and hung it on the city gate.
After Jin Wengong read this poem, he immediately realized that he was ungrateful, so he quickly rewarded The Meson, only to find that the Meson pushed the seclusion in Mianshan Mountain. So he took someone to look for him, but it was not easy to find someone so big as the mountain, so someone told him to let him burn the mountain, and the mezzo could not push it out, but as a result, the fire burned for three days, and finally found the bodies of their mother and son under a willow tree. Jin Wengong wept bitterly, and when he buried the body, he found that the meson pushed the backbone of a willow tree hole, and there seemed to be something in the hole. When I took it out, it turned out to be a piece of clothing, and a blood poem was inscribed on it: "Cut the flesh and serve the king's heart, but I hope that the lord and prince will always be clear." The ghost under the willow is finally gone, and it is strong as if he is a companion to the king as a courtier. If the Lord has me in his heart, remember me and always introspect myself. The subject has no shame in the Nine Springs, and is diligent and clear-sighted. ”
Jin Wengong took a piece of charred willow wood back to the palace to make a pair of wooden sandals, looked at it every day and sighed: "Sadly feet." Since then, "foot" has become a mutually respectful title between subordinates and superiors or peers, which is said to have originated from this.
In 635 BC, Duke Wen of Jin led a group of courtiers to pay tribute to the mountaineering in plain clothes to express their condolences. When I reached the grave, I saw that the old willow tree was resurrected from the dead tree, with a thousand green branches, fluttering with the wind. Jin Wengong looked at the resurrected old willow tree as if he had seen the meson push. He walked respectfully to him, plucked a branch lovingly, and made a circle to wear on his head.
Jin Wen Gongzhong'er later changed mianshan to Jieshan mountain and erected a temple to sacrifice, which gave rise to the "Cold Food Festival" (the day before the Qingming Festival). (Customs about the Winter Food Festival are not described here)
Therefore, the noble character of meson push has always inspired future generations and has completely influenced it for thousands of years. Therefore, every time the Qingming Festival is held, we always unconsciously recite those poems. "During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls." "Good wind and moon, clear night, green and red Xuan thorn Shi Jia." Wait, meson push has made many people, and more people have promoted the traditional virtues that we have hidden deep in each of us because of the virtue of meson push.
