Eight Worships of Friendship", from the "Smell and Seeing the First Record", "Eight Worships" originally referred to the ancient etiquette of the children of the world to meet the elders, "friendship" refers to friends to form a brotherly relationship, and later refers to the worship of the opposite sex brotherhood and sisterhood, figurative relationship is extremely close. In fact, the "Eight Worship Friends" involves a total of eight stories of seventeen historical celebrities, namely: the friendship of Guan Bao, the friendship of Zhiyin, the friendship of the neck, the friendship of sacrificing life, the friendship of glue paint, the friendship of chickens, the friendship of the year, and the friendship of life and death.
Guan Bao's friendship: Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya
There is a record in the "History of Guan Zhong's Biography" that "the parents of those who gave birth to me, and Bao Ziye who knows me", which tells the story of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya, a pair of good friends of the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. When the two were young, Guan Zhong's family was very poor, and he also had to serve his mother, and after Bao Shuya learned about it, he took the initiative to fund Guan Zhong to do business, and after making money, he distributed most of the money to Guan Zhong.
Later, Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya went together
In the war, every time when charging, Guan Zhong hid at the back, everyone thought that Guan Zhong was a greedy person who was afraid of death, and Bao Shuya defended Guan Zhong, "You all misunderstood Guan Zhong, he is not afraid of death, but to keep his life to take care of the old mother!" After Guan Zhong heard this, he said the sentence "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and Bao Ziye, who knows me."
After the death of Duke Qi, Jiang Zhu'er, the Duke of Qixiang, took the throne, and during his reign, he was absurd and incompetent, and Bao Shuya believed that there would be civil unrest in the State of Qi, so he fled to the State of Ju with his son Xiao Bai, and Guan Zhong fled to the State of Lu with his son. Later, Duke Xiang of Qi was killed, and the State of Qi fell into civil unrest. In order to let Gongzi Zhen take the throne, the State of Lu sent Guan Zhong to lead troops to intercept and kill Xiao Bai, the prince who returned to the State of Qi, but Guan Zhong shot the arrow away, so Gongzi Xiaobai returned to the State of Qi to take the throne, for the Duke of Qi Huan.
After Duke Huan of Qi ascended the throne, he decided to worship Bao Shuya, who had long assisted and protected himself, and Bao Shuya recommended Guan Zhong to Duke Huan of Qi, saying that he was inferior to Guan Zhong in all aspects, and finally under the persuasion of Bao Shuya, Duke Huan of Qi invited Guan Zhong back to Qi Guo to worship as a minister, and with the assistance of Guan Zhong, Duke Huan of Qi eventually became a hegemon.
The Friendship of Zhiyin: Yu Boya and Zhong Zi Period
From "Liezi Tang Qing", it tells the story of Yu Boya and Zhong Zi period in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Chu State. Yu Boya is a person who is proficient in musical rhythm and extremely skilled in piano, and can even integrate the beauty of nature into the sound of the piano, but he can never find a confidant who can understand his own music, so he feels very lonely and lonely.
Although Yu Boya was born in the Chu Kingdom, he was there
Jin Guo served as a scholar, one year he was ordered to go to the Chu State, on August 15, he arrived by boat at the mouth of the Hanyang River, looking at the beautiful scenery of yu Boya, who played the piano, just when he was intoxicated by the sound of his own piano, he found that a woodcutter on the shore was also drunk, and the two talked, and Yu Boya learned that the woodcutter's name was Zhong Zi period. Zhong Ziqi not only said the music played by Yu Boya, but even the piano used by Yu Boya also recognized it, which surprised Yu Boya, the more they talked, the more speculative, the two married as brothers, and agreed to meet here in the mid-autumn festival next year.
The following year, Yu Boya came to the mouth of the Hanyang River again, but never waited for the arrival of the Zhong Zi period, and later learned after inquiring that the original Zhong Zi Period had unfortunately contracted the disease and died. Before his death, Zhong Ziqi still remembered the agreement between the two and let people build their graves by the river, so that Yu Boya's piano could still be heard during the agreed period.
Yu Boya, who was extremely sad, came to the tomb of Zhong Zi period and played the ancient song "Mountain" sadly. After playing, he picked off the strings, sighed, smashed his beloved Yaoqin on the bluestone, and said sadly, "My only confidant is no longer alive, who is this piano still playing?" ”
Neck-to-neck friendship: Du Bo and Zuo Ru
The word comes from the "Chronicle of the History of Lian Po Lin Xiang Ru Lie", which records that "the pawn phase and the joy are the friends of the neck". However, the etymology of this word tells the story of Du Bo and Zuo Ru in the Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Both Du Bo and Zuo Ru were important courtiers during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, and the two were extremely close.
There are two accounts of Dub's death in the historical record. One theory is that King Xuan of Zhou had a favorite concubine named Female Dove, and later fell in love with the handsome Du Bo and tried to seduce him, and Du Bo refused to seduce the female dove. As a result, the female dove became angry and falsely accused Du Bo of bullying her in front of King Xuan. King Xuan of Zhou listened to the female dove and ordered Du Bo's execution.
Another theory is that during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou, there was a nursery rhyme saying that "the moon will rise, the sun will die; the mulberry bow is in the bag, and several zhou kingdoms have perished", so king Zhou Xuan ordered that bows and arrows be banned throughout the country, and Du Bo, the grand master, supervised the matter. Later, a mountain woman, unaware of this order, went into the city to sell bows and arrows, and was killed. Therefore, King Xuan of Zhou thought that the words of the nursery rhyme had been answered, and he put the matter aside. In the forty-third year of the reign of King Xuan of Zhou (785 BC), King Xuan of Zhou dreamed at night that a beautiful woman came from the west and entered the Taimiao Temple with the Taimiao God lord to the east. When King Xuan of Zhou woke up, he thought that the proverb had not subsided, so he ordered Du Bo's execution.
After learning that King Xuan of Zhou had ordered Du Bo to be executed, Zuo Ru ran to persuade King Xuan of Zhou, but King Xuan of Zhou not only could not listen to it, but was even more angry because of Zuo Ru's persuasion, saying, "If you kill Du Bo, if you go to Grass, why bother with your lips and tongue?" So the samurai pushed Du bo out of the door and beheaded him. After Du Bo was killed, Zuo Ru also killed himself after returning home.
The Friendship of Sacrifice: Sheep Horn Lament and Zuo Bo Tao
The friendship of sacrificing life is also called the friendship of the left of the sheep, of which "sheep" refers to the mourning of the sheep horn, and "left" refers to the left Botao, which comes from The Tale of the Martyrs in Nanliang Xiao Tong's "Anthology of Liu Xiaobiao's Thousand Broken Friendships" li Shan's note. During the Warring States period, Yang Jiao'ai and Zuo Botao of the Yan State were a pair of good friends, and the two heard that the monarch of the Chu State was Xianming, so they agreed to go to the Chu State to seek an official
。
However, the two were blocked by heavy snow on the way to the Chu kingdom, and due to lack of clothing and food, both of them were in danger of dying of freezing and starvation. Zuo Botao, believing that his knowledge and talents were inferior to those of The Croissant, gave him clothes and grain and told him to hurry up, while he hid in a tree hole and eventually died of frostbite and starvation.
Later, when the sheep's horn was indeed reused by the Chu state, he found the place where Zuo Botao died, took out his body and buried it, and said sadly, "The reason why my friend died was because I was worried that if both of us died, no one in the world would know our reputation, and now what am I still alive for?" As a result, he also committed suicide and died.
The intersection of glue paint: Chen Zhong and Lei Yi
From the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Tale of the Lone Ranks", Chen Zhong and Lei Yi were both famous scholars of Yuzhang County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the two were not only virtuous, but also able to sacrifice themselves. As a close friend, people at that time praised "glue paint claims to be strong, not as good as Lei and Chen". Later, when Zhang Yun heard of Chen Zhong's name, he held him up as filial piety, while Chen Zhong wanted to give up his name to Lei Yi and applied for more than ten times, but he never allowed Zhang Yun's approval.
The following year, Lei Yi was also promoted to filial piety, and the two went to the county government to take up posts together, and later worshiped Shang Shulang at the same time. Later, when Lei Yi was serving as a Shangshu waiter, a colleague was punished for committing a crime, and Lei Yi shared the responsibility for him, pleaded with his superiors, and was willing to bear the responsibility for his own crime. When Chen Zhong learned of this, he abandoned his post and went to Beijing to ask for atonement for Lei Yi's sins. Later, Emperor Shun of Han issued an edict and dismissed both men from office and exempted them from criminal punishment.
Lei Yi returned to his hometown and was recommended as Xiucai, and Lei Yi wanted to give up his name to Chen Zhong, but the result was not approved. Lei Yi pretended to be mad, and his cloak was distributed in the street to appeal for Chen Zhong, instead of answering the orders, and as a result, the deeds of the two were quickly spread. Later, the three provinces recruited two people at the same time, and Lei Yi was appointed as the Taishou of the Guan Gurudwara, allowing him to supervise the customs and indoctrination of the various counties; Chen Zhong was appointed as the Commander of Xiyang County, and was soon promoted to the position of Taishou of Huijian County because of his political achievements.
The Friendship of Chickens: Paradigm and Zhang Shao
Also known as the Friendship of Trustworthiness, it is from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Tale of the Lone Rank, which tells about the paradigm and the deeds of Zhang Shao. Paradigm, a native of Shanyang Jinxiang, studied in Taixue when he was a teenager and became friends with Zhang Shao, a native of Runan. After the two of them finished their studies, they returned to the township together, and when they separated, the paradigm indicated that they would go to Zhang Shao's mansion to visit in two years, and agreed on a date for the meeting.
Two years had passed, and seeing the agreed date, Zhang Shao told his mother about the matter and asked her mother to prepare a meal to welcome the arrival of her best friend. Mother said that you have been separated for two years, and you are thousands of miles apart, how can you be sure that the paradigm will come, and Zhang Shao said that the paradigm is a trustworthy person and will not default. On the agreed day, the paradigm really arrived as scheduled, and Zhang Shao then killed the chicken and boiled the chicken to entertain him.
Later, Zhang Shao was bedridden due to a serious illness, and when he died, he sighed because he could not see the last side of the paradigm. On the day of Zhang Shao's death, paradigms who served as Gong Cao in the county suddenly dreamed that Zhang Shao had a dream for himself, saying, "I died one day, and I will be buried at a certain time and return to Huangquan forever." If you haven't forgotten me, can you see me again? After Fan Shi woke up, he told Taishou about the leave and went to mourn for his best friend.
Before the paradigm arrived, Zhang Shao's coffin had already set off, but it could not be put into the tomb, and her mother thought that her son might have an unfulfilled wish, so she asked people to stop and wait, and finally waited for the paradigm of wearing mourning clothes. Paradigm's hand caressed the coffin of his best friend and wept for a while, and then pulled the rope of the coffin to pull the coffin, and the coffin slowly moved forward into the tomb.
The intersection of life and death: Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
From the Yuan Dynasty Zheng Dehui's "Crepe Plum Fragrance", which says: "In the midst of the danger of guns and knives, my father stepped forward to fight, saved his life, and was shot six times, so he and his father became friends of life and death." However, the allusion to this idiom comes from the "Taoyuan Three Knots" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan went out to recruit volunteer soldiers, and The list went to Zhuo County to lead Liu Bei. When Liu Bei was twenty-eight years old, he saw the list but it was a long sigh, and the result led to Zhang Fei next to him, the two had a conversation, Zhang Fei said that he was willing to pay for Liu Bei to recruit township heroes, Liu Bei was overjoyed after hearing it, so he and Zhang Fei went into the village shop to drink. The two were drinking, and then met Guan Yu, who was also drinking in the store, and Liu Bei saw that he was dignified and majestic, so he invited him to sit with him.
After the three of them talked, they felt very close, so they came to Zhang Feizhuang together to discuss important matters together. Zhang Fei proposed, "There is a peach orchard behind wuzhuang, and the flowers are blooming; tomorrow when the heavens and the earth are sacrificed in the garden, the three of us will become brothers, work together with one heart, and then we can achieve great things." Xuan De and Yun Chang responded in unison, "This is very good." ”
The next day, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them came to Taoyuan, prepared the black cow white horse sacrifice and other items, burned incense and prayed again and said the oath, "Read Liu Bei, Guan Yu, zhang fei, although they have different surnames, and have become brothers, they will work together to save the poor and help the crisis; report to the state, and go down to Lishu." I do not want to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but only on the same day of the same month of the same year. Emperor Tianhou Earth, true to this heart, ungrateful, heaven and man fighting together! "Take the oath, worship Liu Bei as a brother, Guan Yu second, and Zhang Fei as a brother."
The Turn of the Year: Kong Rong and You Heng
From the "Later Han Book of You Heng Biography", which contains "Heng began with a weak crown, and rong was forty years old, so he made friends with him". You Heng had a literary talent and a scholarly talent when he was young, and first took refuge in Jingzhou during the Xingping years of Emperor Xian of Han, and then traveled to Xudu from the early jian'an period to xu capital.
Although You Heng is talented and outstanding, he has a straightforward and arrogant personality, is untamed, likes to accuse current affairs and despise others, but instead feels sorry for Kong Rong. When the two became friends, You Heng was not yet twenty years old, and Kong Rong was already fifty years old. It is precisely because Kong Rong values Your Talents that he is willing to make friends for the Year.
Later, Kong Rong wrote a song to recommend You Heng, and praised You Heng many times in front of Cao Cao. Cao Cao then summoned You Heng, but you Heng did not look down on Cao Cao at all, and repeatedly made slanderous remarks, and Cao Cao hated it to the bone, but because of his reputation, he was not good at it. Therefore, Cao Cao sent someone to send You Heng to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but you Heng still did not change his nature and slandered Liu Biao.
Liu Biao also couldn't bear you Heng, but he also didn't want to bear the insult of killing famous people, so he sent him to Huang Zu's men. You Heng also slandered Huang Zu in public, and Huang Zu did not think as much as Cao Cao and Liu Biao thought, and directly ordered You Heng's execution, and as a result, You Heng, who was only twenty-six years old, was killed.
