From an early age, the elders taught us to be affectionate, and told us to understand filial piety, compassion, loyalty, faith, etiquette, righteousness, honesty, and shame. We often see a word called eight prayers in film and television works, today we will understand which eight prayers are this eight prayers?
Source of the story: Shao Bowen of the Song Dynasty", "Smelling the Preface": "Feng Ji Gurudwara Lu Gong, speak publicly, the language is: 'Ru Father Wu Ke Ye, only eight prayers.'" 'If you don't get it, worship it as you please.' ”
This means: Wen Yanbo heard that Li Ji, who was born from Dr. Guozi, was very arrogant and very unhappy in his heart, and he said to people: "Li Ji's father was once my protégé, according to the generation, he should be my junior, he is so arrogant, I have to teach him a lesson." ”
Once, Wen Yanbo was appointed as the beijing garrison, and when Li Ji heard about it, he came to pay his respects. Wen Yanbo deliberately let Li Ji sit in the living room and wait, and it took a long time before he came out to meet him. After meeting Li Ji, Wen Yanbo said, "Your father is my friend, so you should worship me." Li Ji did not dare to make a mistake because of his low rank, so he had to pray to Wen Yanbo for eight times. Wen Yanbo's status as an elder frustrated Li Ji's arrogance.
The idiom "the friendship of the eight prayers" is thus published. Later, people used the "eight worship friendships" to indicate the two families that have been friends for generations, and the etiquette of the children to meet each other's elders, and later after the passage of time, they are also called brothers with different surnames. Most of us think that the eight prayers are eight times of worship, but in fact, these eight prayers are not just simple prostrations, but eight touching friendships.
These eight prayers are: 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 chicken and yellow, the friendship of forgetting the year, and the friendship of life and death.
First, Guan Zhong's uncle's tooth pipe Bao's friendship
The "Guan Bao" here refers to the politicians Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya in the Spring and Autumn Period. From the Western Han Dynasty Sima Qian's "History of Guan Zhong's Biography": "The parents of those who gave birth to me, bao Ziye, who knew me." ”
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi had a pair of very good friends, one named Guan Zhong and the other named Bao Shuya. The two did business together when they were young, because Guan Zhong had no money, so almost all the capital was invested by Bao Shuya, but when he made money, Guan Zhong took more than Bao Shuya, and Bao Shuya did not complain a little, but explained for his friend Guan Zhong that Guan Zhong's family was poor and wanted to serve his mother, and it did not matter if he took a little more.
When fighting, every time when attacking, Guan Zhong hid at the back, everyone laughed at Guan Zhong as a greedy person who was afraid of death, Bao Shuya spoke for Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong was not a person who was afraid of death, but he had to keep his life to take care of his old mother.
Later, qi civil unrest. Guan Zhong wanted to kill Xiao Bai in order to make Gui Neng successfully become the monarch, but unfortunately the arrow was shot wrong, Xiao Bai did not die, and later, Bao Shuya and Xiao Bai returned to the State of Qi earlier than Guan Zhong and Gui, and Xiao Bai became the monarch of the State of Qi. That is, Qi Huangong.
After Xiao Bai became the monarch, he decided to make Bao Shuya the prime minister, but Bao Shuya thought that Guan Zhong was better than me in all aspects, and he should be invited to be the prime minister, and advised Xiao Bai not to hate Guan Zhong. Later, under the repeated persuasion of Bao Shuya, Xiao Bai listened to Bao Shuya's words and asked Guan Zhong to come back as prime minister. Later generations praised friends for having a good friendship, saying that they were "friends of Bao Bao".
Second, the friendship of the Boya period
From "Liezi Tang Qing", the idiom "mountain flowing water", a metaphor for a confidant or a confidant, is also a metaphor for beautiful music.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Yu Boya in the Chu Kingdom, who was proficient in musical rhythm and superb in piano. But no one could understand his music, and he felt very lonely and lonely, and he was extremely distressed.
Overnight, Boga took a boat tour. Facing the clear wind and bright moon, he had a thousand thoughts, played the piano, and suddenly Bo Ya saw a woodcutter standing on the shore, the woodcutter was the bell period, Bo Ya immediately invited the woodcutter to board the boat, Bo Ya played a tune praising the mountain, and the bell period said: "Majestic and solemn, like the towering Taishan!" When he played the surging waves, Zhong Ziqi said: "It is vast and vast, as if you see the rolling water, the boundless sea!" Bo Ya was very touched because he met Zhiyin.
Later, after the early death of the zi period, Yu Boya learned about it, and then he stroked the last piece of music in front of the grave of the Zhong Zi period, and then broke his own piano, and finally stopped drumming the piano.
The story of the Boyazi period has been passed down through the ages, and the song of the mountain flowing water still lingers in people's hearts and ears, and it is really enough to have a confidant in life.
Third, incorruptibility is like the intersection of the neck
From the "History of Lian Lin Xiang Ru Lie": "The pawn phase and the joy are the friends of the neck." "The metaphor can be a friend who lives and dies and suffers together.
During the Warring States period, Lin Xiangru's momentum soared after experiencing the meeting between Bi Gui Zhao and Shi Chi, and was appreciated by the King of Zhao, and his position was above Lianpo, while most people in the back of the Negative Jing Pleading Sin believed that most people had a certain understanding. Here we will not introduce in detail, roughly because Lin Xiangru tolerated and humbled The Great General Of Zhao Guo, Lian Po was ashamed and awakened, so he opened his chest and carried a thorn on his back to ask Lin Xiangru for his guilt. Since then, they have become good friends who share the same life and death and hardships, and work together to serve the country.
Fourth, the horned mourning peach gave up his life
At present, it is believed that the earliest allusion to the "Yang Zuo" in the Western Han Dynasty's "Biography of martyrs" is derived.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Zuo Botao and Yang Jiao'ai met each other, and in order to realize their ideals, the two went to see Liu Jiao, the king of Chu Yuan (a vassal state of the Han Dynasty), on the way, due to sudden weather changes, they encountered heavy snow, and the two were not fully prepared, at that time, the clothes they wore were very thin, and the grain they brought was insufficient. In order to fulfill his friend, Zuo Botao gave all his clothes and food to the sheep's horns, and he hid in an empty tree to commit suicide. Therefore, later generations called this deep friendship "the friendship of sacrificing life.".
Fifth, Chen Zhongleiyi glue paint intersection
From the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Tale of the Lone Ranks. Later, the metaphor of "Chen Lei glue paint" was extremely deep in friendship.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, yuzhangjun was two gentlemen of high moral character and self-denial, Chen Zhong and Lei Yi. When Chen Zhong was young, he became acquainted with Lei Yi of the same county, and both of them were well-educated. Taishou Zhang Yun heard of Chen Zhong's name, praised his moral integrity and character, and recommended him as filial piety, Chen Important gave up his meritorious name to Lei Yi, and applied to Taishou more than ten times, but Zhang Yun did not approve.
The following year, Lei Yi was also selected as a filial piety, and the two went to the county government together to take up posts. Later, Lei Yiguan worshiped Shang Shu Waiter Lang and committed crimes together and was punished. When Lei Yi learned of this, he expressed his willingness to be punished alone. Chen Zhong also abandoned his post and went to Beijing, expressing his willingness to atone for Lei Yi's sins. Eventually, both were deposed and returned to their hometowns together.
Lei Yi returned to his hometown and was recommended as a Xiucai, and Lei Yi wanted to give up this meritorious name to Chen Zhong, but Shi Shi did not approve it. Lei Yi pretended to be mad, and his cloak was distributed on the street to publicize Chen Zhong instead of taking up his post. Therefore, the township praised that "the glue paint claims to be strong, not as good as Lei and Chen." ”
Sixth, the friendship of the Yuan Bo Juqing chicken
From the "Later Han Shu Solo Rank Biography", Ji Huang here represents the meaning of trustworthiness, which is used to describe that even if the two are thousands of miles apart, they will still fulfill each other's wishes as promised.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, both Fan Shi and Zhang Shao were famous scholars at that time. Paradigm character Juqing Shanyang Jinxiang people. Before studying in Taixue, he was good friends with Zhang Shao, a native of Runan. But later, because of the paradigm to return to his hometown, he promised to visit Zhang Shao and Zhang Shao's mother after two years before leaving. The two agreed on a date for their meeting.
Soon the agreed date will approach. Zhang Shao told his mother about this and asked her to prepare a meal to welcome the arrival of her best friend. The mother thought that time had passed so long and the two were far apart, and they should not come
However, Zhang Shao believed that Ju Qing was a trustworthy person and would certainly not disobey. On the agreed day, the paradigm really arrived as scheduled. The two sang to the wine, and they dispersed after all the joy.
7. Kong Rong you have forgotten your friendship
From the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of You Heng: "Heng began with a weak crown, and rong was forty years old, so he made friends with him." ”
Kong Rong likes literature and reads a lot of books. And You Heng has been able to speak eloquently since he was a child. Kong Rong liked You Heng's talent and valued his talent. And You Heng also felt sorry for Kong Rong. At that time, Kong Rong was already forty years old, but You Heng was only 20 years old. The age gap between the two was huge, but the two became very good friends, which is what people later called friendship.
VIII. Liu Guanzhang's life and death
The source is Yuan Zheng Dehui's "Crepe Plum Fragrance", which means a friend who can share the fate of life and death with him.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Taoyuan Sanjieyi believes that everyone is familiar with it, "do not seek to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year." Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu went to the peach orchard where the flowers were blooming in The peach orchard after Zhang Feizhuang in Zhuo County held up wine and made a righteous oath to the Heavenly Alliance, and married brothers of the opposite sex, and suffered the same suffering, shared difficulties, and shared blessings. The story of the three is still widely circulated today.
Hiss and ask for his friends. This is the eight worships of the ancient times, and their deep friendship is still praised by the world. Now some people, perhaps the "brothers" you think of as the eight worship friends, are so-called wine and meat friends, but once you encounter difficulties, the friendship between you also dissipates. If you have met a friend who can push your heart, then please cherish this fate. Know each other far and near, thousands of miles are still neighbors.
