Enlightenment of Taoyuan Sanjieyi
Today I read the first chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Three Marriages in Taoyuan. It tells us that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao led the peasant uprising. At this time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei met, and these three people were congenial, so they became brothers and plotted to restore the Han Dynasty and defend the country.
Liu, Guan and Guan became sworn brothers because they were all loyal, and righteousness meant loyalty. They were all willing to take risks or sacrifice their spirit. They are not only honest, but also like-minded. They wholeheartedly join the army, display their talents, and want to serve the country and be filial. This tells us that if we want to have a career, we must find like-minded friends and help each other. We should not cover up our friends' mistakes for the sake of friendship, but dare to point out their mistakes and help them correct them. Righteousness is within the scope of legal and moral standards. You can't touch the law because of righteousness, so it is not righteousness. Only doing good for friends is righteous. Justice is not spoken, but done. For example, if a classmate in the class can't solve this problem, you don't laugh at him, but help him. This is called righteousness, and this is the meaning of life.
