【Idiom Story】
Mencius was a representative figure of the Mo family during the Warring States period, surnamed Meng Mingke, who was known as "Yasheng" by later generations because of his profound appreciation and high morality. The reason why Mencius was able to achieve such a high status was related to the education he received in his early years.
When Mencius was young, his mother attached great importance to educating him. Once, Mencius did not go to school because of his greed, and when his mother found out, she was very angry, so she told him a story like this:
A man named Le Yangzi, while walking on the road, picked up a piece of gold cake that someone else had lost, took it home and gave it to his wife. My wife said, "I have heard that people with lofty ideals do not drink the water of the 'thief spring', and that honest and upright people do not accept food that others arrogantly and insult, let alone pick up other people's lost things and seek private interests to tarnish their own morality!" The sheep were so ashamed to hear this that they threw the gold into the wild, and then went out to study with their teachers far away.
A year later, when Le Yangzi returned home, his wife got up on her knees and asked him why he had returned. The sheep said: "I have been traveling for a long time, I miss my family in my heart, and there is nothing special about it." After hearing this, the wife took the knife and walked quickly to the loom and said, "These silk fabrics are all born from the cocoon and woven on the loom." The accumulation of one silk after another can reach an inch long, and an inch of accumulation can be formed into a horse. Now if you cut off these weaving silk fabrics, you will waste the opportunity to succeed and delay the wasted time. If you want to accumulate knowledge, you should 'learn every day what you don't understand' to fulfill your virtues; if you come back halfway through, what is the difference between cutting off this silk fabric? The sheep was touched by his wife's words and went back to finish his studies.
After listening to the story, Mencius bowed his head in shame. From then on, Mencius studied hard and finally became a university student.
