The ancients clouded this water, a thousand gold. Try to make Yi Qi drink, and in the end it will not be easy. —— Wu Yinzhi
A person with a pure heart, no matter what kind of temptation he faces, can firmly keep his heart unmoved,
Like the honest officials of successive dynasties, the praise of later generations gave them the best affirmation.
As Wu Yinzhi said, as long as the heart is as pure as Boyi Shuqi, temptation will only become a driving force for a person to maintain purity.
Throughout history,
Bao Zheng was the most famous and honest official, and it was precisely because of his presence that the corrupt officials of the Northern Song Dynasty received the punishment they deserved.
In addition to Bao Zheng himself, people are also very concerned about the later reproduction and development of the Bao family. Surprisingly, so far,
The 35 generations of Bao Zheng have been silently guarding the Bao Ancestral Hall for generations and never going out to work.
It is not because it is more laborious to go out to work, on the contrary, these descendants of the Bao family
Always abide by the ancestral precepts, strict self-discipline, do their best in life, and carry forward the spirit of Bao Zheng.
In fact, today's Bao clan does not have the scenery of Bao Zheng when he was alive, but whether it is Bao Zheng or his descendants, what they value most in their lives and have always abided by is precisely their creed of strict self-discipline and sincere behavior.
Bao Zheng, who was born and was rejected, was fortunate to be able to grow up with the blessing of his sister-in-law
Bao Zheng was born with dark skin, because of his difference, his parents suffered from the sneers of the people around him, because his face was too dark, so his parents thought that he might have brought some illness when he came out of the womb.
The family already has two sons, if Bao Zheng is sick, the family will not be able to support this large amount of expenses, plus can't stand the strange eyes of the neighbors.
After the couple had discussed for a long time, they threw the bag on the side of the road.
The kind sister-in-law couldn't bear to watch Bao Zheng starve to death on the side of the road like this, and when no one knew, she secretly carried Bao Zheng back to her home.
As Bao Zheng grew up,
The eldest sister-in-law could not bear to let Bao Zheng continue to live outside, hoping that he would be recognized by his family.
After Bao Zheng learned of his origins, he became more diligent, and he wanted to prove himself and get the approval of his family.
However, the second brother and the second sister-in-law were worried that Bao Zheng's return would affect their division of the inheritance left by their parents, so they framed Bao Zheng many times.
He wanted to lose His life through an unexpected situation.
In the process of being framed by the second sister-in-law, Bao Zheng left a scar on his forehead that could not be healed, this scar is his crescent, this scar made him see human nature clearly, he no longer wanted to please his family, he worked hard to be himself, a good person to himself, he also remembered in his heart, the kind sister-in-law, let him always maintain the goodwill in his heart.
The appearance of the crescent moon may have been destined to have a bright moon on his path, which may be fate.
When he grew up, he was reused, and the iron-faced selfless bag Qingtian made corrupt officials feel frightened
The rejection of the family did not make him lose the kindness in his heart, and it was precisely because he was excluded by his family that he tried harder to prove himself.
I want to use my good intentions to drive away the malice of life.
Bao Zheng's growth along the way has experienced too many difficulties and obstacles, and even his family is unwilling to accept him, so he does not pay attention to the same vision of the people around him, and firmly follows his own path.
For every corrupt official, he will not let go,
The iron-faced and selfless punishment measures shocked his fame, accompanied not only by admiration, but also by more small actions of corrupt officials.
Whenever he wanted to give up, the crescent moon above his head became the guide of his path. The trust of the people has made him more determined in his own path,
He is selfless and discerning,
He did not spare the details of every case, he was unwilling to spare any bad person, and he was equally unwilling to spare any good person.
As the number of cases increased, so did he offend more and more people, and in order to be able to make him handle the case better, the emperor gave him great power, and he became more diligent.
Strict ancestral training, Bao Zheng's ancestral training has left a profound impact on Bao's descendants
Bao Zheng's efforts not only made his status higher and higher, but also allowed his grandchildren to be sheltered.
In order to be able to better supervise his descendants to become better, he left behind strict ancestral precepts.
All those who have great greed, once they have done something wrong, will never have the opportunity to return to their own family, and they must not be buried in the ancestral grave, and they must strictly inherit Bao Zheng's will before they can say to the outside world that they are Bao Zheng's grandchildren.
Bao Zheng's ancestral precepts have become the rules that Bao Zheng's descendants always abide by, and every descendant of Bao Zheng always remembers the ancestral precepts of the old ancestors.
Everyone is upright and kind, firm in their hearts, and do not do anything that is indebted to the public.
Today, Bao Xianliang, a descendant of Bao Zheng, still chooses to clean and meditate in Bao Zheng's ancestral hall, and it was a very boring job to guard the ancestral hall, but Bao Xianliang is still ready to spend his life to carry forward the spirit of Bao Zheng and contribute his own strength.
He tells the story of Bao Zheng's life for free for every tourist who comes to visit, and he is very patient with every person who seeks knowledge, repeating it day by day, he does not feel bored.
Whenever he thought of himself, being able to let his ancestors' deeds be known to more people, he became more active and hardworking, and he repeated the story over and over again.
Time flies, and such a stay has also had an impact on his life,
He was persuaded to collect money for explanations, but he felt that it was contrary to his ancestral precepts.
Bao Xianliang insisted on his own ideas, he wanted to inherit the spirit of Bao Zheng through his own free explanation, and he hoped that the spirit of Bao Zheng could become more spiritual pillars and guiding lights.
Free commentary can not guarantee his basic life, forced by the pressure of life,
He chose to become a cleaner in the village, on the one hand, he could continue to inherit the spirit of Bao Zheng, and on the other hand, he could earn some money to continue to live.
The life of coarse tea and light rice did not make him flinch,
He explained day by day, not only to the tourists who came to visit, telling bao Zheng's life, but also making Bao Zheng's deeds not limited to a few strokes in the history books.
He also has a new understanding of the spirit of Bao Zheng, and he also has a strong sense of responsibility for the affairs of the people around him, and he is helpful and also makes the people around him relish him.
epilogue
Bao Xianliang regarded the task of guarding the ancestral hall as very important, and no matter how hard life was, he always insisted on his heart. Spiritual satisfaction makes Bao Xianliang have more sense of gain, and his pursuit makes him feel satisfied, and it is not important to say what others think.
In today's impetuous society, it is rare that someone can simply have a guardian for decades, and people should learn
Not only the spirit of Bao Zheng, but also Bao Xianliang's firm belief in upholding and guarding kindness.
As a commoner, although Bao Xianliang could not achieve the achievements of his ancestor Bao Zheng, the principle of life he adhered to was also worthy of praise.
