List some stories of the ancients who helped others.
1, Li Shiqian charity.
During the period of Wei Qi in the Northern Dynasties, there was a man named Li Shiqian, whose family was very rich, but he advocated frugality, was generous and often helped the people. One spring drought, many families were short of food. Li Shiqian took out 10,000 stones of food and distributed it to the food-deficit households in the village. In autumn, it will be a bad year and crops will fail. People who borrow grain all ask for a delay in repayment.
Li Shiqian said, "I lent you food to help you through the famine, not for profit." Since the years are bad, you don't have to pay back the borrowed grain. "So he invited a few people who owed food to dinner, and burned all the IOUs in front of everyone at dinner.
In the second year, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and many people chose to return the grain. Li Shiqian resolutely refused to accept it, and the people who returned the grain had to choose again. Li Shiqian was charitable for thirty years, and Emperor Wendi died in eight years. In Zhaozhou, where he lives, more than 65,438+00000 people held a funeral for him, shaking with tears.
2. New public welfare care for poor patients
Xin Gongyi, a native of Sui Dynasty, was the secretariat of Zhou Min (now Min County, Gansu Province). The local people have a bad habit. Everyone is afraid of getting sick at home, and no one will take care of the patients. Patients often get worse and die quickly without care and treatment.
When Xin Gongyi learned of this situation, he ordered the patient to be taken to the yamen, where he lived with hundreds of patients and personally arranged for them to see a doctor and take medicine.
After careful nursing, all these patients recovered. Xin Gongyi's behavior not only won people's praise, but also completely changed the local bad habits.
3. Wang Xizhi helps people sell fans.
The famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is world-famous, but he refuses to write it to others easily. One day, Wang Xizhi met a poor old woman on the road and sold a basket of bamboo fans at the market, but no one bought them.
He was sympathetic when he saw it, so he helped the old woman write words on each fan. After people learned about it, they gathered around to buy it, and a basket of bamboo fans was quickly snapped up. The old woman waiting to buy rice was very happy and thanked the helpful calligrapher.
4. Strictly cultivate first-aid people.
During the Southern Liang Dynasty, there was a knowledgeable and virtuous doctor named Yan. One day, he happened to see a man lying on the ground by the river, his clothes tattered and his face swollen. Only after asking did I know that this man was surnamed Huang, a native of Jingzhou, and went out to help because his family was poor.
Recently, I was seriously ill and was thrown ashore by my owner who was eager to hurry. Yan Zhi took this man home for treatment. A year later, the patient surnamed Huang recovered. In order to thank Yan, he knelt down and sincerely expressed his willingness to stay in Yan's house as a slave for life in return for saving his life. Yan declined, and offered him money and dry food to go back to his hometown.
5. Song Taizong sends charcoal in the snow
It is said that Song Taizong was an emperor, but he knew it was not easy to start a business, so he lived a frugal life and was very sympathetic to the people.
One winter was very cold. Wearing a fox coat, Emperor Taizong sat in a warm room and felt cold. He thought, "It's so cold that people who lack clothes and firewood must be cold." So, he called Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture to the palace and said to him, "It's so cold now that we who don't worry about food and clothing all feel cold. Those who are short of clothes, food and charcoal are definitely colder.
Now you take people to the city with food, clothes and charcoal to help those who have no clothes and wood. "Hearing this, the Kaifeng prefect Yin immediately took people with food, clothes and charcoal to greet those poor people. The rescued people are very grateful. As a result, the story of "timely help in the snow" has been left in history.
