Yuan Jue persuaded the father
Once upon a time, there was a teenager named Sun Yuanjue, who was clever and clever, filial piety and understanding from an early age. But his father was extremely unfilial to his grandfather.
My grandfather was very old, frail and sickly, unable to work and needed to be taken care of. My father felt that his grandfather was dragging him down, and one day he put his elderly grandfather in a basket and carried him to the mountain. Sun Yuanjue didn't know what his father was going to do, so he followed his father up the mountain. When he came to the mountain, his father would throw away his sick grandfather and go home on his own. Sun Yuanjue knelt on the ground and cried and begged his father not to do this, but his father ignored it.
Sun Yuanjue suddenly had a clever move and said, "Well, since my father is determined to throw away my grandfather, I can't do anything, but I have a request." The father asked what the request was, and he said, "I want you to bring that basket back." The father wondered, "What do you want this for?" Yuan Jue replied, "When you are old in the future, I will also use it to throw you away like you threw away your grandfather!" When my father heard this, he was shocked and thought that he would one day become old. How the father educates his son, the son will do it. So he guiltily carried his grandfather back home, and from then on he took good care of the old man, so that the old man could be nurtured.

China is a country of etiquette, since ancient times pay attention to a "etiquette" word, the ancients in judging the words and deeds should reach the level, the requirements are very high, and can be in the Top of Mount Tai to maintain calm and calm, in fact, it is very difficult. It is precisely because of this that the style of Zhuge Liang, the shu Han chancellor of the Three Kingdoms period, singing the empty city timekeeping is particularly admirable.
Zhuge Liang sang the empty city plan
In the cognition of Chinese, in addition to being calm and calm, calm, and have the wisdom and courage to take on major tasks, a gentleman must also learn to have a beginning and an end, and persevere. The term "mood and anger are not shaped" comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which means that when you are happy, your face is not happy, when you are angry, your face is not sullen, and you will not expose your feelings when you encounter anything. The term is both positive and negative, depending on the circumstances. If it is to describe a person of high moral character, it means calm and calm; if it is to describe a person who is extremely deep in the city government, it is a sinister and cunning meaning. It can be seen how important it is for a person to be consistent. If a person can be consistent, he will get the best gift - a long career and a promising future.
The core of etiquette in Chinese culture is a "respect" word, there is respect for the party, there is courtesy, there is a heart for love. Without sincerity, no matter how much etiquette is also a form, not only does it have no effect at all, but people become more and more hypocritical as a result. Therefore, it is said in the Book of Rites and Commentaries that "the loss of etiquette is annoying." When the flag people of the former Qing Dynasty met and greeted each other, the whole family had to ask over and over again, and it would be annoying to death if they were red tape and redundant.
Since "ritual" is the general rule of coordinating social order and making people frugal and solemn, its center cannot be separated from the word "sincerity and respect", so Confucius said in the "Analects": "Three hundred prayers, three thousand rituals, in a word, there is no disrespect." ”
