Small story The Great Wisdom of the Great Wisdom was once attended by the Staff

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a filial son named Zeng Shan. Once his father was angry and wanted to punish him. He picked up a very thick stick next to him and hit him, and he didn't move. "Parents are responsible, they must be obedient", so they obediently let their father beat them. Because his temper was relatively large, his father actually knocked him unconscious.

When Confucius learned of this, he said to Zengsan, "If you do this, you will not be filial piety!" Zeng San felt that he was very well-behaved, "parents are responsible, they must be obedient", they can't even run, how can they not be filial piety? Confucius said, "If your father beats you to death, who is the saddest?" It's the parents. To trap the father in unrighteousness!

Confucius told Zengsan that "the small staff will suffer", and the small stick can be accepted; "the big staff will go", so you must leave quickly and learn to be flexible. Therefore, we must also be flexible in our pursuit of learning, and we must understand the change of power. For example, today we just made a mistake and our father is scolding, at this time we have to "teach our parents, we must listen." But if the father has a heart attack, the more he looks at it, the more angry he becomes, then he must not stand there and leave quickly. This shows that we must know how to observe the situation and think of our parents everywhere.
