[Edit this paragraph] Reference story
Ceng Zi's wife went to the market, and her son followed her in tears. His mother (lied to him) said, "Go back and wait for (mom) to come back and kill the pig for you." The child believed it and ran home happily, shouting, "There is meat to eat, there is meat to eat."
The child stayed at home all day, and when his mother came back, friends from the village came to visit him, but he refused. He leaned against the wall, basking in the sun and imagining the taste of pork, not to mention how happy he was.
In the evening, the child saw his mother come back from a distance. He ran forward to meet him in three steps and shouted, "mom, mom, kill the pig, I'm dying of greed."
Ceng Zi's wife said, "A pig can support our family's food for two or three months. How can you kill pigs casually? "
The child cried with a wow.
Ceng Zi heard it, and when he knew the truth, he didn't say anything. Turn around and go back to the house After a while, he came out with a kitchen knife. Ceng Zi's wife was frightened, because Ceng Zi was always very strict with the children, thinking that he would teach them a lesson, and she quickly put her arms around them. But Ceng Zi went straight to the pigsty.
The wife asked inexplicably, "What are you doing in the pigsty with a kitchen knife?"
Ceng Zi replied without thinking: "Kill the pig".
The wife listened to a sloped smile: "But what pig should I kill in the New Year?"
Ceng Zi said seriously, "Didn't you promise your child to kill pigs for him? Since you promised, you should do it. "
The wife said, "I'm just lying to the children." Why should I talk to them seriously? "
Ceng Zi said: "It is more important for children to keep their promises. Otherwise, isn't it obvious that children should lie like their parents? " ? Adults don't keep their words. What qualifications do you have to educate your children in the future? "
The wife bowed her head in shame after hearing this. The couple really killed the pigs for their children and gave a banquet to entertain the villagers, asking them to educate their children to set an example.
Although Ceng Zi was laughed at by some people, he educated honest and trustworthy children. The story of Ceng Zi's killing pigs has spread to this day, and his character has been admired by later generations.
4. Famous sayings of honesty and trustworthiness (classical Chinese) Several short stories of honesty and trustworthiness
Integrity means loyalty and integrity, consistency in words and deeds, and consistency in appearance. Keeping promises means keeping promises and not cheating. These ancient sayings, which have been passed down for thousands of years, vividly express the honesty and trustworthiness of the Chinese nation. In thousands of years of civilization in China, people not only praised the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness, but also tried to practice it.
More than 2000 years ago, Confucius taught his disciples to be honest. In study, you know what you know and you don't know what you don't know. He thinks this is the correct attitude towards learning.
Ceng Zi is also a very honest and trustworthy person. Once, Ceng Zi's wife went to the fair, and the children left crying. The wife coaxed the child and said, don't go, I'll come back and kill the pig for you. When she came back from the market, she saw that Zeng Zi really wanted to kill pigs, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him. Ceng Zi said that if you cheat children, they won't trust you. Say that finish, he killed the pig. Ceng Zi didn't cheat children, but also cultivated their character of keeping promises.
At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Lu Bu. He always kept his promise and kept his word. People say, "getting a promise is worth a hundred pounds of gold." This is the idiom. Only with the help of friends can we survive. And if you have a letter, you will naturally get everyone:
In the past, in front of shops in China, people generally wrote "The real thing, children can't fool". Since ancient times, in commodity trading, fair trade, honesty, no fraud and no fraud have been advocated.
In contemporary China, the virtue of honesty and trustworthiness has also been carried forward. This virtue is manifested in work and study, that is, love and dedication, earnest and practical, and seeking truth from facts; In dealing with people, it means being sincere and trusting each other; Shown in the attitude towards the country and the collective, it is law-abiding, loyal and honest.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a very honest man named Ming Shanbin. When he was a state official, he opened a warehouse to help the poor, offended the court and was dismissed.
One day, he saw that the family was really unable to uncover the pot, so he took the thin cow left by his father to the market and sold it. But when I got home, I learned from my wife and son that the cow had leg disease, so I rushed to the market, found a buyer, explained the situation to him, and voluntarily refunded half the money. People around you are amazed.
