During the Three Kingdoms period, the Xun Yu family was not simple, Xun Yu was well known to everyone because of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Xun Yu's father's generation was more famous at that time, known as the Xun Family Eight Dragons, and the members of the Xun family had extraordinary achievements in their respective fields.
Xun Yu is a descendant of Xun Zi, and Xun Zi is a representative figure of Confucianism, it can be said that the Xun family has a great relationship with Li, Xun Yu in the Three Kingdoms period is already the thirteenth grandson of Xun Zi, but the family members have their own persistence, three of which coincide with the three principles of the later generations.
Jun was a subject, and Xun Yu was loyal to Han
As we all know, Xun Yu played a major role in the rise of Cao Cao, although Xun Yu did not go to the front line to advise Cao Cao, but he undertook the logistics of Cao Cao's clique, so that Cao Cao, who was fighting on the front line, had no worries, and there was plenty of grain and grass, Xun Yu can be described as a great contribution!
Students who do not understand history may regard Xun Yu as a member of Cao Cao's interest group, in fact, it is not right to say so, it should be said that it is not rigorous, the original Cao Cao was not for usurping Han, he and Xun Yu's purpose is the same, both for the sake of Kuangfu Han Room.
Xun Yu had a firm belief, he initially served Cao Cao in cooperation, so that the Han Room could be revived, but as Cao Cao's power grew, Cao Cao's ambitions also grew, and at this time, the contradiction between Cao Cao and Xun Yu came out, and Xun Yu was opposed to Cao Cao's usurpation.
Just when Cao Cao wanted to seal the King of Wei and Jiu Xi, the contradiction between the two people reached its peak, and eventually Xun Yu died because of it, some said to be melancholy and died, some said to be poisoned by Cao Cao, no matter which way, Xun Yu was loyal to Han in his heart, and did not see Cao Cao called the King of Wei, although there was more or less some feeling of self-deception, but this was also a way for Xun Yu to express his loyalty to the Han Room.
Xun Yu was able to achieve the goal of being a vassal of the King, although there was a little bit of helplessness, and this helplessness was more that Cao Cao was not able to work as hard as himself to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty.
The son is the father, and Xun Shuang insists on filial piety
The name Xun Shuang is not familiar to many people, he is Xun Yu's uncle, at that time Xun Shuang was more famous than Xun Yu, in Yingchuan County there is a "Xun Eight Dragons, Ciming (Xun Shuangzi) Peerless" evaluation, saying that it is Xun Shuang.
Xun Shuang was a kind of "other people's children", when he was twelve years old, he read and understood "Spring and Autumn" and "Analects", and the famous minister Du Qiao at that time saw the twelve-year-old Xun Shuang, communicated with him, and praised him, and said that Xun Shuang could be other people's teachers, which showed the high evaluation of Xun Shuang.
After Xun Shuang received such an evaluation, he was not proud and complacent, but studied these classic works more deeply, he was a standard otaku, what weddings and funerals in the village, spring excursions and whatever was called him, he did not go, the imperial court understood his academic level, recruited him to be an official, he did not go, just at home seriously studied the classics.
The first time Xun Shuang became an official, it was also because others recommended him because of his filial piety, and after he became Langzhong, he wrote to ask for filial piety, performed three years of mourning, and the righteousness of male superiority and female inferiority, after expressing his views, he drifted away.
Xun Shuang not only suggested that the imperial court promote filial piety, but also led by example, before Yuan Feng recommended him to be an official, but Xun Shuang did not answer the call, after Yuan Feng's death, Xun Shuang served for three years of mourning, making a great demonstration to the locals, the locals have followed suit, becoming a custom, which shows Xun Shuang's determination and influence on the promotion of filial piety.
Xun Shuang was also loyal to the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo's dictatorship was very brutal, Xun Shuang was an official in the imperial court at that time, and joined hands with Situ Wang Yun and others to jointly carry out major events to restore the authority of the Han Dynasty, but before he could act Xun Shuang fell ill and died, Xun Shuang wrote a lot of works in his lifetime, including "Ly", "Yi Chuan", "Poetry Biography", "Shang Shu Zhengjing", "Spring and Autumn Regulations" and many other works.
In general, Xun Shuang admired filial piety, but at the same time there was the idea of loyalty and patriotism, as well as the idea of male superiority and female inferiority, which can almost be said to be the initial version of the Three Principles.
The wife is the husband, and Xun Cai is the husband who observes the festival
Xun Shuang followed the inferiority of men and women, but in the Han Dynasty at that time, the concept of keeping the festival for the husband was not so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if Xun Shuang promoted filial piety, he also thought that there was no big problem for women to remarry, but Xun Shuang's daughter Xun Cai had her own insistence.
Xun Cai inherited Xun Shuang's talent, from a young age smart and agile and talented, Xun Cai married Yin Yu when he was seventeen years old, gave birth to a daughter at the age of nineteen, but not long after Yin Yu died, Xun Cai was still very young, in his twenties, a good youth, but Xun Cai did not plan to remarry, but she was very worried, worried that her father Xun Shuang would remarry him.
Sure enough, the thing that was worried came, Guo Yi, a man from the same county, died his wife, Xun Shuang promised to marry Xun Cai to him, but Xun Cai did not agree, refused to return to his mother's house, it was Xun Shuang who deceived Xun Cai that he was sick before he tricked Xun Cai into returning home, but Xun Cai threatened with a knife and refused to remarry, Xun Shuang ordered people to take the knife, let people take care of Xun Cai, and married Xun Cai to Guo Yi's family.
Xun Cai was very happy at first, but when the cave room was spent on the night of candles, Xun Cai chatted with Guo Yi, talking about his ideals and persistence, tiannanhaibei thought of what to talk about, so the two people chatted all night, Guo Yi was very afraid of her, but also admired her, so he did not force her.
The next day, Guo Yi asked people to prepare to bathe Xun Cai, and Xun Cai entered the room and closed the door, and the people who wanted to serve avoided it for the time being. Then he wrote on the door with powder: "The corpse is still yin." The word "yin" was not written well, she was afraid that someone would come, so she hung herself with her clothes, and Xun used her own life to interpret the idea of keeping the festival for her dead husband, which was to be erected in the later Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Xun Yu family is worthy of being the descendants of Xun Zi, both men and women have their own persistence and ideals and achievements, the persistence of the family can be consistent with the three principles and five constants, it can be seen how deeply rooted this idea was in ancient times, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties were fixed and even more unchangeable, the times are more progressive, some good traditions need to be adhered to, but some bad things are to be discarded.
