The admonition of "a thin bamboo branch"

In early winter, I went to Weifang, the capital of Iris.

Weifang was called Weixian County in ancient times, and this was once the place where Zheng Banqiao served as Zhi County. Zheng Banqiao (1693-1765) was a Qing Dynasty official, calligrapher, painter and writer. Ming Xie, zi ke rou, Jiangsu Xinghua people. Kangxi Xiucai, Yongzheng Juren, qianlong yuannian jinshi. One of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou". When he was serving in Weixian County, Shandong Province, he once made a painting "Weixian Bureau Painting Bamboo Chengnian Bo Bao Da Zhongzhong Gongkuo", in which the inscription was Shiyun: "Ya Zhai lying down to listen to Xiao Xiaozhu, suspected of being the voice of folk suffering, some small Wucao County officials, one branch and one leaf are always concerned." It can be seen that he sympathizes with the suffering of the people and benefits the people. He was thus deeply loved by the townspeople.

In 1753, Zheng Banqiao was sixty-one years old and demoted to an official. "When they went to Weicheng, the people covered the road and stayed, and their families painted portraits to worship, and spontaneously established a shrine for Zheng Banqiao at Weicheng Haidao Temple." It is said that the people who sent them off at that time pleaded with Zhengzhi County to leave a message for the people. Zheng Banqiao looked at the villagers to help the elderly and children, and said, "I sincerely hope that you can treat your elderly like your own children." When the crowd heard this, they looked at each other and suddenly realized the reasoning, and all nodded their heads and said yes. Although Zheng Banqiao's "admonition" to the villagers has not been found in the history of the county history, its real vitality lies in the fact that it has been circulated in the folk for more than 200 years, and the local people are still talking about it.

A long history, "respecting the old and loving the young", as a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, has circulated many moving stories and written an immortal chapter in national culture. Honoring one's parents and raising one's children is a matter of course and righteousness. Generally speaking, there is an inextricable connection between respecting the elderly and loving children. Respecting the elderly must be a kind and benevolent person with a heart, and there is a way to "raise children to know the grace of parents". I have the experience of raising the next generation, and every bit and every wisp will strongly appreciate and feel the incomparable hardship of my parents pulling me to grow up. Therefore, while raising children, they can double their filial piety and serve their parents. But "people have a scale in their hearts", compared with the "love of children" and "respect for the elderly", the delicacy of their intentions, the thoughtfulness of their methods, and their endurance are far better than the latter. So much so that some mothers said to their children with emotion, "I am good to you, and in the future, when you become a human and can give me half of it, I will burn high incense." Not to mention, there are quite a few people who have interpreted the love of licking calves to the point of no return, "loving children" to the point of doting, and "respecting the elderly" to a pale situation. What's more, they even did not filial piety and abused the elderly. This may be the "pointing" of Zheng Banqiao's parting words.

The way of Confucius and Mencius makes the Chinese nation respect the "respect for the old and love for the young" has far exceeded the scope of simple family affection. Confucius's understanding of the world of Datong: to enable the elderly to enjoy their old age in peace, to enable the middle-aged to realize their values, and to ensure the lives of the widowed, the lonely, the disabled and the sick. （“...... Let the old have the end, the strong have the use, the young have the strength, the widows, the lonely and the sick are all nourished. Mencius, in describing his ideal society, said: In supporting and honoring his elders, he does not forget other elderly people who are not related to him: in raising and educating his own juniors, he does not forget other children who are not related to him. ("The old and the old and the old, the young and the young and the young.") ”）。 For thousands of years, despite the constant wars and dynasties, the faith of successive generations of society, the wise men and women of all generations to pursue this ideal society and the world of great unity has never been extinguished. This wind has a long history, as a valuable consensus of the entire nation and the traditional idea of fraternity and love" "passed on from generation to generation".

And now "changed the world". Today's China is shining brightly. The construction of socialist spiritual civilization has given a new era content to the way of Confucius and Mencius, the spring flowers of the land of Shenzhou are brilliant, and "respecting the old and loving the young" has long become a social trend. Countless "good children", "good daughters-in-law", "virtuous helpers", "good sons-in-law", and "good neighbors" add beautiful notes to the "big theme song" of a harmonious society. Those who "moved China" "moved.." The advanced figures have written the glory of the ancients with their "great filial piety" behavior and moving deeds toward the motherland, the people, the cause, and the parents. In the great process of realizing the Chinese dream, our party has written "the people are the country and the mountains, and the country is the people" on its banner, and the party and government at all levels have vigorously developed to ensure the people's livelihood, and the achievements made in poverty alleviation, employment, old-age care, education, and medical care are incomparable to those of successive governments and officials. In particular, the national fight against the epidemic in the past two years has told the "Chinese story" of "people first" and "life first", which has attracted the attention of the world. Although it is still imperfect in various aspects related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, and even owes too many debts, some still have heavy grievances. However, living in the peaceful and prosperous world of Guotai Min'an, the hearts of the people of the world are bright and down-to-earth. They live in the present and yearn for the future with a sunny mindset.

The one who "threw away the usha for the official, and the sac Wasxiao Xiao had two sleeves cold." Write a thin bamboo, the autumn wind on the river as a fishing rod "Zhengzhi County, there is knowledge under the nine springs, should be laughed and comforted!
