Min Ziqian’s story?

Ziqian’s biological mother died early, and his father married his second wife and gave birth to two more sons. His stepmother often abused him! In winter, the two younger brothers wore winter clothes made of cotton, but they gave him "cotton clothes" made of reed catkins.

One day, his father went out. Qian Qian shivered from the cold while pulling the cart, and dropped the rope. He was scolded and whipped by his father. The reed flowers flew out from the broken seam, and his father knew that he had Being abused. The father returned home and refused to let his stepmother do it.

Qian Qian knelt down and begged his father to forgive his stepmother, saying: "If I leave my mother, I will be the only one who suffers the cold. If I divorce her, both children will suffer the cold." His father was very moved and obeyed him. When his stepmother heard about it, she regretted her mistake and treated him like her own child from then on.

This shows how good-tempered and filial Zi Qian was. This can be used as a very good example for the ritual and music system that Confucius wanted to restore.
