Every time the messenger cleans the cattle, he becomes more respectful and respectful. If your parents are ill and cannot take off their clothes, you must try the medicine yourself. The mother often wishes to give birth to a fish, but the weather is freezing. Xiang undresses and cuts through the ice to seek for it. The ice suddenly dissolves on its own, and two carps leap out, holding it and returning. The mother thought about the oriole moxibustion again, and dozens of oriole flew into her curtain, and again offered to the mother. The villagers were amazed, thinking it was due to filial piety. There are pills that are strong and strong, and the mother lives to protect them. Every time it rains, Xiang often hugs the tree and weeps. Such is his devotion, filial piety and purity. Before the Han Dynasty was in chaos, he supported his mother and his younger brother to visit the Lujiang River as a refuge, and lived in seclusion for more than thirty years, not responding to the orders of the state and county. When the mother died, she was in mourning and exhausted, and then the staff rose up. Lu Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, said that he was going to leave. He was obedient in his auspicious year and refused to accept his words. After reading and persuading him, he was equipped with chariots and oxen. Xiangnai responded to the call and piously entrusted him with state affairs. At that time, there were many bandits and bandits, and Xiang led his soldiers to defeat them frequently. The state borders are quiet and politicization is flourishing. People at that time sang and said: "Haiyi's health is due to Wang Xiang. The country is not empty, so don't take advantage of it."
The scholars were promoted, Wen Ling was removed, and the great ministers of agriculture were moved. Gaogui Xianggong came to the throne, and with Ding Ce Gong, he was granted the title of Marquis of Guan Nei, worshiped Guang Luxun, and transferred to the Sili Xiaowei.

The emperor begged for words from the north, auspiciously stating the principles of the Ming Dynasty, the Holy Emperor, the monarchs and ministers in order to teach them, and everyone who heard them would be impatient.
When the noble countryman was killed, the courtiers expressed their condolences, wailing aloud and saying, "Old minister has no status," and exchanged tears with each other, making everyone feel ashamed.

Wang Xiang’s hometown
When Emperor Wu was the King of Jin, Xiang and Xun Yi went to visit him. "Yes." Xiang said: "I am the prime minister of Wei, but I am the three princes of Wei. I am only one level, and there are three emperors in the same class. I will harm the hope of the Wei Dynasty!" "Thanks to the virtue of the king of Jin, a gentleman loves others with courtesy, but I don't do it." When he came in, he bowed and bowed to Xiangdu. The emperor said: "Today I know that you have taken great care of me!"
Emperor Wu practiced his duties, paid homage to the Taibao, became a Duke, and appointed seven additional officials. Emperor Xin loves his life and despises himself in order to seek advice. Xiang, together with He Zeng, Zheng Chong and other elders Aidu Lao, wanted to see him again in court. The emperor sent his servants to serve as Kai to consult on the pros and cons and the political changes. Xiangyi abdicated his throne because he was old and tired, but the emperor would not allow it. In the royal censor, the prime minister, Shi Guang, has been ill for a long time because of his auspiciousness. He went to court to attend the ceremony and asked him to be exempted from the auspicious official position. The edict said: "The Taibao elders are high-minded, and I am the one who relies on Yilong's political way. He is willing to give way before and after, and does not follow what he insists on. This is not something that can be discussed by the Secretary." Then he went to bed and played. Xianggu begged for the bones, and upon hearing the imperial edict, Duke Suiling was enthroned. He took the same position as Baofu, on the right of the three divisions, and received the same salary as before. The edict said: "In ancient times, officials were not appointed to princes. Now, although the Duke of the country is staying in the capital, it is not appropriate to have to go to court to invite him. He is given a few sticks, and when he is not at court, he is consulted on all important matters. He is given chariots and horses, the first District, one million dollars, five hundred pieces of silk, bed tents and mattresses, six people from the house were appointed as Suiling Gongshe people, and twenty officers and cavalry were appointed to Shizhong, so that Chang You could travel to the province. . He also thought that Taibao was a high-ranking and pure man, and his family had no house. His power should be given to his family and given to him. "Ji Du wrote a legacy to teach his descendants: "It is natural for a husband to die. I am eighty-five years old. I have no last words, so I have nothing to say. I was born at the end of the year, and I have no honors. I have nothing to repay. When taking a bath, do not wrap around the corpse. Use old clothes and wear them at all times. Do not collect the Shanxuan jade pendants, Wei family jade ornaments, or silk ribbons given to you. The coffin is two feet deep, and the coffin should not be used as a front hall, a table, or a bookcase or a mirror as a burial utensil. In front of the coffin, a plate of preserved meat and a cup of black wine can be placed as a libation for the whole family. There is no need to send a funeral, Xiaoxiang is a special sacrifice! Gao Chai has been crying for three years, and the master called him stupid. When the moon comes to kill, there is a system for proper food and drink. A husband's words and deeds can be followed, and he can be trusted; he can be virtuous by advocating for his good deeds; he can be filial by showing off his relatives; he can be happy with his brothers, and his family can be happy, and he can be loved by them. "There is no better way to get wealth than to give up: these five are the foundation of one's life. Yan Zi took it as his destiny, but he didn't think about it." His sons all followed it.
In the fifth year of Taishi's death, he was given the secret weapon of Dongyuan by imperial edict, a court dress, a suit of clothes, three hundred thousand money, and a hundred pieces of cloth. It was more than a month after the death of the Empress Dowager Wenming, and she later issued an edict: "I mourn for Duke Suiling, and this has happened to this day. Although I feel sad for him every time, I don't have a special expression of sadness. I will cry now." Next year, he will be posthumously honored. Said Yuan.
On the occasion of Xiang's death, those who went there were not the wise men of the imperial court, but just relatives and old officials, and there were no other guests at the door. Rong, the grandson of the family, sighed and said: "Taibao can be said to be Qingda!" He also said: "Xiang is in the beginning, not in the flow of words. If you talk to him, your reasoning will be clear and far away, you will not cover his words with virtue!" Xiang has five sons: Zhao, Xia, Fu, Lie, Fen.
He was born as a concubine, died early in the summer, and became the heir to the title of Fu.

The two sons also died at the same time. When he is about to die, he wants to be buried in the old land, but Fen wants to be buried in the capital. Xiang shed tears and said: "Don't forget your hometown, which is benevolence; not loving your hometown, you are Da Ye. But benevolence and Da are my two sons."
Lanzi Xuantong. Mother Zhu, when encountering auspiciousness, there is no way. When I was several years old, when I saw Xiang being beaten by Chu, I often cried and hugged him. As for grown children, every time they remonstrate with their mothers, their mothers will rarely stop being cruel. Zhu often used unreasonable methods to make Xiang Xiang appear, and he always went against Xiang Xiang. He also abused his wife, and his wife also tended to have sex with him. Zhu troubles it and stops it. After Xiang lost his father, he gradually became famous. Zhu Shen was very ill and sent a secret envoy to Zhen Xiang. After seeing it, he went to get some wine. Xiang suspected that it was poisonous and refused to fight with it.
Emperor Wu of Jin
Zhu Yun seized it and turned it against him. Later, Zhu gave him auspicious food, and he always tasted it first. Zhu was afraid that he would die if he looked at it, so he stopped. The filial friend Gongke is named Ya Yuxiang. When Xiang became an official, Lan also responded to the county's call and moved to Situ Xicao and Qinghe Prefecture. The fifth class was built, and it was granted the title of Qiuzi, with a town of 600 households. From the beginning to the end of Tai, except Hongxun Shaofu. When he was promoted to provincial minister, he was transferred to Taizhong doctor, and his salary was the same as that of Qing. At the beginning of Xianning, the imperial edict said: "Lan Shao is diligent in his conduct, obeys benevolence and fulfills his righteousness, and his chastity and sustenance practice will become stronger and stronger. He regards Lan as Zongzhengqing." After a while, he went up to the hospital to beg for the bones. After hearing the imperial edict, the official of Taizhong returned to his old age and was given two hundred thousand money, bed tents and mattresses, and he was sent to the palace to treat illnesses and give medicines. Later, he was transferred to Dr. Guanglu, where he served as a master of horse training.

In the early days, Lu Qian had a sword and worked with it, thinking that he would be able to ascend to the Three Lords, so he could take this sword. Qian said to Xiang, "If you don't belong to him, the sword may cause harm. You have the capacity to assist me, so I will give you a favor." Xiang said solidly, and he accepted the strong one. When Xianglin died, he gave the sword to the master and said: "Your queen will be prosperous, and it is enough to be called this sword." After the sweep, many talented people flourished in the left part of the Yangtze River. Tai Zi Dao, there is no biography.
"Shi Shuo Xin Yu"
Wang Xiang's biological mother died young, and his stepmother Zhu didn't like him. She spoke ill of Wang Xiang in front of his father, so even his father alienated him and sent him He went to sweep cow dung; but Wang Xiang accepted it and still served his parents respectfully. When his parents were ill, Wang Xiang was busy ministering and tasting the decoction himself.
The stepmother abused Wang Xiang. In winter, she asked for fish, so Wang Xiang went to the river to "lye on the ice and ask for carp." Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Xiang took off his clothes and cut through the ice on the river, two carp jumped out of the cold river water below and took them back to him. Seeing that Wang Xiang could not freeze him to death, the stepmother said she wanted to eat roasted oriole. Dozens more oriole flew into the tent, and she obediently let Wang Xiang roast it. When the stepmother saw that she could not kill him, she asked Wang Xiang to guard an apple tree outside the house. "It is a genus of apple in the Rosaceae family. The original text of "Shishuo Xinyu" is "There is a plum tree in the house". The two characters "李" and "氰" are too similar, and later generations copied it wrongly.) When it is windy and rainy, Wang. Xiang hugged the tree and cried.
Wang Xiang’s younger brother, Wang Lan, hugged Wang Xiang and cried when he saw Wang Xiang being whipped by his stepmother when he was only a few years old. When he grew up, Wang Lan often advised his mother Zhu not to abuse his brother. The stepmother made unreasonable demands on Wang Xiang, and Wang Lan was willing to endure the hardships along with Wang Xiang. Even when the stepmother abused Wang Xiang's wife, Wang Lan's wife was willing to follow suit. After Wang Xiang lost his father, his reputation gradually increased. His stepmother was jealous and used poisoned wine to poison Wang Xiang. However, Wang Lan knew about it and was eager to drink it. Wang Xiang suspected that the wine was poisonous, so he and Wang Lan competed to drink it. The stepmother knew that something had happened, so she simply grabbed the wine herself. Later, every time the stepmother gave Wang Xiang food, Wang Lan would eat it first. The stepmother was afraid of poisoning her own son, so she stopped poisoning him.
"Shishuoxinyu" mentioned another more exaggerated story. It turned out that Wang Xiang was sleeping alone. One night, his stepmother Zhu personally came to assassinate Wang Xiang with a knife. As a result, Wang Xiang was lucky and happened to get up to go to the toilet. His stepmother's attempt to assassinate her failed and she only hit the quilt. When Wang Xiang came back from using the toilet, he knew that his stepmother's assassination failed, so he knelt in front of his stepmother and begged for death. The stepmother finally realized that she regarded Wang Xiang as her own child.
During the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, Wang Xiang took refuge with his stepmother and his younger brother Wang Lan to Lujiang and lived in seclusion for more than thirty years. After his stepmother died, Wang Xiang was in mourning. He looked so haggard that he could only stand up with a stick. Lu Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, hired Wang Xiang to ride in another car and drive side by side, but Wang Xiang refused because he was fifty years old. Later, his younger brother Wang Lan persuaded him to become an official and prepared carts and oxen for him, and Wang Xiang was called to serve as an official. Lu Qian entrusted the affairs of Xuzhou to Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang led his soldiers and frequently defeated bandits. The state borders were peaceful and political reform was flourishing. People at that time sang and praised: "Haiyi's health is due to Wang Xiang. The country is not empty, and it is his contribution." Later, Wang Xiang promoted scholars and was promoted to the custodian of taxes, money, salt and iron, as well as the national financial revenue and expenditure. "Da Si Nong", one of the Nine Qings.

Wang Xiang participated in the crusade against Guanqiu Jian's rebellion and made meritorious service. He was promoted to "Taichang" in charge of rituals, music, society and ancestral temple etiquette among the nine ministers, and was granted the title of "Long Live Pavilion Marquis".

Even the emperor had to face the north for advice. Everyone here All people are diligent and diligent.
In 260 AD, the emperor Gaogui Township Duke Cao Mao was killed. Wang Xiang cried bitterly and exchanged tears with each other. Everyone looked ashamed.

In 264 AD, Sima Zhao ascended to the throne of Jin Dynasty, and Wang Xiang and Xun Yi went to visit him. Xun Yi said to Wang Xiang: "The Prime Minister is honorable, let's respect him and worship him today." Wang Xiang said: "The Prime Minister and the King of Jin are honorable, but they are the prime ministers of Wei. We are among the three Dukes of Wei. There is only one rank between the three princes and the king of Jin. How can the three ministers under the emperor always worship others! If a gentleman loves others with courtesy, it will harm the hope of the Wei Dynasty and the virtue of the king of Jin. "I will not do anything." In the palace, Xun Yi bowed, but Wang Xiang only bowed. Sima Zhao said: "Today I realize why you, Wang Xiang, are so valued!"

After his death, only the wise men of the imperial court and his former colleagues and subordinates came to visit him, and no other people came to visit him. Wang Rong, a grandson of the same clan and one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, sighed: "The Taibao can be said to be a wise man!"

Although Wang Xiang resigned, Lu Qian still forced him to accept it. Before Wang Xiang died, he gave the sword to his younger brother Wang Lan and said, "You will definitely be successful in the future, worthy of this sword."

Lying on the ice to ask for a carp
Chapter 18 of "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" Lying on the ice to ask for a carp
The original text was written by Wang Xiang of Jin Dynasty, with the courtesy name Xiuzheng. He lost his mother early and his stepmother Zhu was unkind. My father teased me several times, because I fell out of love with my parents. I wanted to eat raw fish, but it was freezing cold, so I took off my clothes and lay on the ice to ask for it. The ice suddenly dissolved on its own, and the two carps jumped out and returned to their mother. The poem says:
Stepmother exists in the world,
Wang Xiang does not exist in the world.
To this day, there is a piece of ice lying on the river.
Annotation: (zen out of voice) frame, slander; because: because of this, therefore; raw fish: live fish; unparalleled in the world: unparalleled in the world, there is no second;
Explanation During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Xiang, whose nickname was Xiuzheng. Wang Xiang's biological mother died when he was very young.

It was freezing cold at that time and the river was frozen. Wang Xiang took off his clothes and lay on the ice, hoping to get live fish. At this time, the ice surface suddenly froze. After thawing by himself, two carps jumped out. Wang Xiang took the fish home and presented it to his stepmother.
A poem commented:
There are many unvirtuous stepmothers like Zhu, but there is no son like Wang Xiang who repays evil with kindness. The second one.
On the river where Wang Xiang was lying on the ice looking for carps, there are still traces of when Wang Xiang was lying there.
Evaluation
Folk ballad: "Haiyi's health is due to Wang Xiang; if the country is not empty, don't take advantage of it."
Liuqin historical drama "Wang Xiang Lies" "Fish"
Sun Rong sighed and said: "Taibao can be said to be Qingda!" He also said: "The auspiciousness lies in the beginning, not in the flow of words. When you talk to him, you will be clear and far away, and you will not cover it up with virtue." Huh!"
The modern significance of "Lying on the Ice to Seek Carp"
Wang Xiang was from the Jin Dynasty, nearly two thousand years ago.
He lost his mother at a young age, and his father remarried to the Zhu family. Since then, Wang Xiang has embarked on an extremely bumpy journey. Because his stepmother was fierce and domineering, she not only often spread rumors and caused trouble in front of his father, but also often made untrue bad things to blame on him, causing his father to misunderstand him and not love him. And whenever Wang Xiang behaves disobediently to his mother's wishes, he will definitely be beaten and blamed by his stepmother, and may even force him to death with unreasonable demands. Let's think about how unbearable this kind of life is for a child. However, after all the suffering, Wang Xiang not only He endured it silently, and did not contradict his parents or hold grudges against his stepmother. He just hoped that one day his stepmother would accept him. According to official historical records, his stepmother treated him no less cruelly than King Shun. Even after Wang Xiang got married and had children, his stepmother still wouldn't let him go, beating him as usual, and even punishing his wife. Fortunately, he had a stepmother's biological brother who loved him very much and secretly protected and cared for him. , named Wang Gu.
Wang Gan is kind and honest by nature. In his moral education story, the brotherhood of his friendly brother Wang Xiang has touched many people over the thousands of years. And this half-brother, every time he sees his brother When his mother beat him severely, he would not only come over and beg his mother, but he would also kneel in front of him and let his mother beat him or fight to punish his brother. In this way, he often helped his brother, so the relationship between the two brothers was very good. I wonder if it was God. If you have eyes, you take special care of Wang Xiang, or maybe Wang Xiang's filial piety moved his younger brother. When he grew up, Wang Xiang's filial piety had spread throughout the township party neighbors. His filial piety moved the court, so he was elected as Xiaolian. At this time, The stepmother was even more angry and wanted to poison Wang Xiang to death, but her younger brother found out. At the critical moment, the younger brother snatched the poisoned wine that he was about to drink. At the moment when he was about to drink it, the stepmother killed him. After drinking that glass of poisonous wine, her stepmother found out her conscience, hugged her biological son, and burst into tears. She had selfishly protected Wang Xiang all her life, and tried her best to harm Wang Xiang. In the end, she almost poisoned her own flesh and blood. He is so vicious, but his son is so kind and willing to die on his brother's behalf. This kind of brotherly love that endures adversity and life and death, no matter how hard-hearted one sees this scene, everyone will shed tears. This is the warmth of the world and also the regret of the world. ! How could the stepmother not be shocked and filled with regret? The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly, which also dispelled the family's gloom. After that, the relationship between the two brothers became deeper, and the stepmother treated Wang Xiang as if she were her own child.
The two brothers Wang Xiang and Wang Gu both lived very long lives, living to eighty or ninety years. Throughout their lives, there were hardships and hardships along the way, supporting each other, taking care of each other, comforting each other, and supporting each other. In particular, Wang Xiang's filial piety throughout his life not only made him highly respected and respected in the country, but also later served as an official. When he first became an official, a very powerful veteran of the court rewarded Wang Xiang very much, affirmed his moral character, and gave him a pair of knives that he had followed for many years. He gave the family sword to Wang Xiang, telling him that it would bring great luck and prosperity to the family, and deeply encouraged him. After Wang Xiang knew that it was a priceless and auspicious sword, he did not keep it for himself. He quickly gave it to his younger brother Wang Gu, and conveyed the old man's wishes to his younger brother. This kind of brotherly love between the two lasted until the end of their lives. Later, the younger brother also became an official, and the two of them also made great achievements in the court and held very high positions of power. The descendants of the two brothers are also very capable and virtuous. They have been prosperous for several generations and are all pillars of the imperial court. An in-depth look at the lives of the two brothers Wang Xiang really fulfills the ancient adage "A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed."
People's kindness and filial piety all come from nature, especially childhood, which is the purest and without any pollution. After Wang Xiang lost his mother's love, his father had to take care of Wang Xiang, so he had to take care of him. Who knew that his stepmother had a bad nature and regarded her as a thorn in her side, so of course she would be picky and ill-treating Wang Xiang in every possible way. It is conceivable that children who have lost their mother's love will naturally grow up and mature than ordinary children, and they will also be more sensible and considerate. Therefore, although Wang Xiang encountered such difficulties at such a young age, he was not shocked. On the contrary, it is more filial. And Wang Xiang was able to turn danger into disaster and turn danger into safety despite his stepmother's unreasonable demands on him.
Youdao is [people have good wishes, God will follow them], his stepmother wants to eat fresh live fish in the cold winter, this is simply an unreasonable request, Wang Xiang is so cold In the freezing weather, we came to the frozen glacier and saw a vast expanse of snow-white land. Where could we catch fish? Since he couldn't go home without getting the fish, poor Wang Xiang could only lie in the ice and snow, calling his mother with tears, silently asking the sky, and quietly waiting for the miracle to come! Emperor Tian really paid off his hard work. Suddenly he heard a series of sounds, and the dawn suddenly appeared. It was a miracle. A small crack burst out in the glacier, and gradually became bigger and bigger. Suddenly two carps appeared. It jumped out, as if it was sent automatically, and finally Wang Xiang completed the task.
The mean stepmother asked for fresh fish in the cold winter, and Wang Xiang also asked Wang Xiang to take good care of the fruit trees in the garden. The fruits hanging on the fruit trees must not only be taken care of, but also the fruits must not be lost. This kind of His stepmother repeatedly forced him to do what was impossible, otherwise he would of course be punished.
Therefore, whenever it is windy and rainy, poor Wang Xiang will run to the fruit tree, hug the tree and cry bitterly, begging the fruit not to fall off all, otherwise he will suffer severe punishment. In the wind and rain, Wang Xiang Xiang spends such a pitiful life. Compared with other children hiding at home, how can this different situation not make people feel sad for Wang Xiang? With such pure filial piety, Wang Xiang did not hold any grudge against his stepmother, but instead tried his best to meet the requirements. How could this kind of filial piety not move heaven and earth, and how could God not protect him in the dark? So it's strange that not many of the fruits that were so fruitful fell off.
When reading such a touching story, don’t think that it is just a historical story; because in the journey of life, not everyone is happy. Before welcoming happiness, you may often have to undergo great trials and tribulations before you can experience the true taste of happiness in life, which is love and gratitude. And this kind of goodness is inherent in everyone. If it is lost now, it will be extremely short-lived. Because selfishness, jealousy, and hatred have not been removed, conscience cannot be awakened. However, through the ancient sages and sages, His exemplary teachings and his perseverance and patience are the best examples to learn from!
[Filial piety] is not difficult. Let’s start from ourselves and appreciate the kindness of our parents in raising us!
Because people can be grateful, they can know what love is. Once they understand the true meaning of love, they can naturally implement it in their daily lives.
