In ancient times, there was a man named Kuafu. He is so strong that he can pull up a big tree with one hand. You can cross a big river with one step up.
At that time, people lived in the Woods, wore bark and ate wild fruits, and their lives were very difficult. Every winter night, people are cold and hungry, so everyone is afraid of the night and hopes that the sunshine can stay longer during the day.
Kind Kuafu decided to catch up with the sun and let it stay a little longer during the day.
Kuafu is standing on the top of the mountain. When the sun appeared, he shouted, "Sun, can you walk slowly and make the days longer?" Sun didn't answer and left in a hurry.
The next day, Kuafu came to the top of the mountain again and shouted to the rising sun, "Sun, can you walk slowly and give people more sunshine and warmth?" Sun still ignored him.
Kuafu quickly picked up his cane and ran after him. He vowed to catch the sun and not let it set.
When the sun climbed to the top of the mountain, Kuafu caught up with it. When the sun set in the canyon, Kuafu chased it. Kuafu climbed mountains and chased for seven days and seven nights. The sun is a little scared, running faster and faster, and it is about to set.
Kuafu chased and chased, ran and ran. The big fireball of the sun made his throat almost smoke. He is getting more and more thirsty and tired, and he is going to fall down. So, Kuafu ran to the Yellow River, plunged into the water, plopped plop, and soon drank up the Yellow River.
But he was still very thirsty, so he came to the Weihe River and drank it all at once.
Kuafu continues to catch up with the sun. But tired and thirsty, he fell to the ground and never stood up.
After Kuafu's death, his tall body turned into a mountain, his hair into a tree, his blood into a river, and his cane into a peach grove.

Bao Gong was born in Bao Zheng (AD 999- 1062) and Hefei, Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui). His father, Bao Yi, was a doctor of the three dynasties and was posthumously named assistant minister of punishments. Bao Gong is an honest man. He was famous for his filial piety when he was a teenager. In the fifth year of Song Renzong Tiansheng, that is, A.D. 1027, 28-year-old Bao Gong was a scholar. Bao Gong first served as a judge of Dali Temple and later as the magistrate of Jianchang (now Yongxiu, Jiangxi), but his parents were unwilling to go abroad with him because he was old and sick. In feudal society, if parents have only one son, then this son can't go abroad to be an official casually, leaving his parents aside, which is against feudal laws. Under normal circumstances, parents will follow their son to other places for the sake of his future, but parents are unwilling to follow his son to the place where he is an official to support the elderly. This kind of situation is rare in feudal times, because it means that his son should abide by feudal ethics-resign from his official position to take care of his parents. Because his parents didn't want to follow Bao Gong to other places, Bao Gong resigned from his official position and went home to take care of his parents. His filial piety was praised by officials.
A few years later, his parents died one after another, and Bao Gong re-entered the official career.
Bao Gong can take the initiative to resign from his official position and take care of his parents, which shows that he is not the kind of person who covets officialdom, and also shows that he is a filial person who knows how to repay his parents' upbringing. This is worth learning.

According to legend, Mazu's surname is Lin and he lives in southern Fujian, China. There are five brothers and sisters in her family, and she is the only girl. According to local customs, only men can go to sea and women can only stay at home. Therefore, even if Mr. Lin is good at water, he can only help his mother at home.
One day, the Lins' four brothers went fishing in the sea. Suddenly, there was a big storm on the sea, and the wind lifted the waves to hundreds of feet. People in the village are very anxious and worried about their relatives at sea, but there is nothing they can do.
At first, Miss Lin and her parents waited for the storm to pass at home, but the storm didn't mean to stop at all. After a while, Miss Lin suddenly closed her eyes, looking pale and unconscious. This can scare the Lins' two old people! There is no news from the sons, and the daughter is in a coma.
They shook hands, pushed and dragged, and with great effort, they finally woke up their daughter. The two old people breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Lin was full of tears and said nothing. The storm stopped later.
A few days later, the Lins' brothers came back, but they didn't see Old Four. The three brothers tearfully told their parents about the experience on the day of the storm: the violent sea breeze blew their boat into the depths of the sea, and the huge waves overturned their boat and they all fell into the water. Just as they were "calling every day, the ground was not working", a girl came across the waves and saved three brothers one by one. When she tried to save the fourth, she suddenly disappeared. So, Lao Si was swallowed up by the waves.
The Lins' two old people realized why their daughter fainted that day. So she went to save her brother. If they hadn't woken up their daughter, Old Four wouldn't have died. The two old people blamed themselves for this. Since then, Miss Lin has been allowed to sail to various islands to help those in need. Over the years, Miss Lin has saved the lives of many fishermen and businessmen by virtue of her water-based nature and bodhisattva heart. The local people call her the goddess, the dragon god Mazu.
Later, she ascended to heaven and became immortal, still thinking about the safety of fishing boats and passing merchant ships. In order to thank her, people built the Mazu Tempel for her.
Even now, the incense in Mazu Tempel is still very prosperous!

During the Song Dynasty, 200,000 Liao soldiers from Qidan invaded the territory and the border was tight. At that time, Bai Yingyang was in Suicheng. Suicheng is now Suicheng Village, 20 miles west of Xu Shui County. The waterfall river is in the north, and the ancient Great Wall faces each other across the river.
The city is small and the troops are insufficient. There are only 3000 people guarding the city. Liao soldiers came quickly, but suddenly Enemy at the Gates surrounded the city and attacked it several times in a row, each time more violently. However, the defenders and ordinary people in Suicheng did not seem to be as anxious as usual. Liu Lang was surprised. He asked the people, "Aren't Liao soldiers afraid to attack the city like this?" The common people replied, "With General Yang guarding here, Liao soldiers are invincible!"
When Yang Liulang heard that people trusted him so much, he felt more responsible. So he called the young people of the whole city together, gave them swords and halberds, and mobilized them to cooperate with the army to defend the city. The army and the people are gearing up to fight to the death with the city.
It was October, and the weather suddenly turned cold. Seeing this, Liu Lang Yang used his quick wits to make the soldiers and civilians draw water to fill the city. Water is poured on the city wall once at night, and a layer of ice forms immediately. Watered all night and frozen all night. The next morning, wow, the high wall was white and bright, and it became a cold Great Wall, which was firm and slippery and could not be climbed. Liao soldiers rushed to the city gate and came to the city, pushing and sliding, scraping and sliding, and some managed to climb halfway up the mountain, sliding and falling. Lying on the city, Song Jun took the opportunity to roll Mu Shile with a thousand arrows, killing and injuring countless Liao soldiers. Liao soldiers could not attack the city for a few days, so they had to order a retreat. Yang Liulang took the opportunity to open the gate wide and led the army to kill it, only to find that Liao soldiers fled in panic. In this battle, thousands of Liao soldiers and horses were captured alive and a large number of weapons were seized.
Because of this war, Yang Liulang was promoted by Song Zhenzong, from the governor of Baozhou (now Baoding, Hebei Province) to Zhou Mo (now Qiu County, Hebei Province). Qidan invaded the frontier, burning and looting all the way, and the people were miserable. Yang led his troops to repel more than 100 attacks by Liao soldiers, making the border pass peaceful for a while and deeply loved by the people.

Yang, the eldest son of the emperor, accompanied by an envoy (in the play, Yang's son is called Zongbao and Zongbao's son is called Zongbao), escorted Lingshu back to his hometown of Taiyuan. Zhengzhou people went out of the city, kneeling around the hearse and crying, demanding that Liulang be buried in Zhangzhou and guard the border with him in the spirit of heaven. Yang and the emperor's emissaries felt that people were uneasy, so they asked stable boy to report She Taijun's ruling. She Jun proposed to make another coffin, put Liulang's clothes and nod into it, and build Liulang's tomb in the north of Yanzhou to comfort the local people. Since then, the tomb of Liulang has been built in Yanzhou, becoming a memorial place for people to pay homage to national heroes.

One day, Confucius and his disciples went to a place to give lectures in a carriage. When they saw a six-or seven-year-old child playing in the dirt on the road ahead, Zi Gong gave a loud cry and was about to run over the car, but the child blocked the road and shouted, "Stop, there is a city ahead, and you can't cross it. Go back and make a detour! "
Zigong quickly stopped the car and shouted angrily, "You naughty boy, stop fooling around. This is Confucius' car. Put it over here! "
"No matter who you are, you have to be reasonable. I ask you whether you are hiding in the city or in the car?" The child said methodically.
Everyone was tongue-tied, and Zi Gong was angry and anxious. At this time, Confucius got out of the car and stopped him and said, "The child is right, don't mess around."
Confucius said, stepped forward, bowed to the child, and said, "The child prodigy is here, and the old lady is polite. We have something important to do, please lend us a way! "
The child asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Travel around the world."
"What is traveling around the world?"
"Give lectures and preach."
"Giving lectures and preaching requires a set of skills and talents. What do you know? "
Confucius said, "I don't boast. I know a thing or two from astronomy to geography. "
The child asked again, "Do you know how many eyebrows you have?"
Confucius said, "I can't see my eyebrows. How do I know? "
The child rolled his eyes and then asked, "I can't see, but the stars in the sky can see." Do you know how many? "
"There are so many stars in the sky, how to count them?" Confucius said awkwardly.
The child smiled and said, "Oh, you have gone too far; On that day, there will be one, like an ice tray in the morning and Yuhuan at noon. Let me ask you when you are near and when you are far away? "
Confucius thought for a long time and still couldn't answer, so he sincerely said to the child, "I still know nothing about the above things." I sincerely worship you as a teacher and hope to give you more advice. " Say, kowtow.
Later, Confucius taught his disciples about this, saying, "Don't think that you don't know, know that you know, and don't forget that there must be a teacher in a threesome."

During the Northern Song Dynasty, one spring, with boundless scenery, Su Dongpo came to visit Mount Tai with excellent scholars. They stopped and walked and came to the temple unconsciously. There are many inscriptions on the temples, mostly made by emperors and generals and written by celebrities. Su Dongpo walked into the temple with extremely young people and enjoyed the forest of steles.
At this time, a majestic and personable man came from the East. Su Dongpo looked carefully and was overjoyed. That man turned out to be his good friend Wang Anshi, a great writer. Su Dongpo quickly greeted: "Wang Daren, what a coincidence, you also came to Mount Tai?"
Seeing that it was Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi, while admiring the inscription, replied, "If you, a great poet, enjoy the scenery of Mount Tai and set up an inscription on the temple, can't I join in the fun?" Su Dongpo quickly argued: "No, it's a great blessing to swim with Wang Daren in the forest of steles in Dizi Temple!" After that, he pointed to his back and said, "This is extremely bookish Ford." Wang Anshi pointed to the young man in front of him and said, "My book is full of knowledge!" "
As soon as Wang Anshi's voice fell, Ford ran to say hello to Xuezhi. Who knows Xue Zhi's appearance of refusing people thousands of miles away, just "snorted" as a greeting.
The four men leisurely read the inscription and walked forward. When they came to a stone tablet leaning slightly to the east, the four stopped to comment. Because Ford was not happy when he saw Xuezhi's face just now, he stepped forward and said, "An Shi is not straight, but his shadow is crooked!" " "How clever he is to learn wisdom. As soon as he heard that Ford was satirizing his master's refusal to give up, he blurted out: "Dongpo leans forward and the foundation is inclined! "
Hearing two bookish bickering, Wang Anshi interjected: "Learning wisdom is so right. It's true that this monument leans forward because of the sloping foundation! " Su Dongpo said, "Wang Daren is right, but it makes more sense to praise the blessings. If the body is not right, the shadow will be awkward! " Say that finish, Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo smiled at each other.
Seeing the host laughing, Ford and Xuezhi giggled.

In ancient times, Fuyang native Dong sailed across the Qiantang River. When the ship reached the middle of the river, it suddenly found a three-foot reed floating in the river. There is an ant crawling around on the reed, constantly crawling from one end to the other, and it is about to fall into the river and drown.
Dong is a kind-hearted man. He let the boat near the reed, trying to pick it up with ants. The people on board objected, "This is a poisonous insect with thorns. If you dare to take the boat, we will trample it to death! " Dong had no choice but to tie the reeds with ropes, tie them to the ship's rail and drag the ants ashore. The ants had a narrow escape, climbed onto the land and ran away quickly.
That night, Dong had a dream that hundreds of people dressed in black came to see him. A man in black, led by him, saluted and thanked him and said, "I am the ant king." I accidentally fell into the river today. Fortunately, you saved my life. If you need anything in the future, please let me know and I will try my best to help you. "
When Dong woke up, he thought the dream was ridiculous and ignored it.
A few years later, he offended the government by defending rights everywhere and was put in prison. There is no way to complain, and he can't get away. In desperation, he remembered the absurd dream and thought it might be a way to try. He found some ants from the prison and said to them, "I'm Dong from Fuyang. I'm in prison. Tell your king to find a way to save me! " "
The ants froze for a while, and then crawled away in a hurry.
However, nothing happened for the next three days. Dong is a little desperate, and even feels too bored to talk to ants stupidly.
Three days later, in the middle of the night, it rained cats and dogs and thunder rumbled. Dong dreamed of the black ant king in his sleep. The ant king shouted, "Get up! Get up! " Dong woke with a start and looked around. Suddenly, the wall in the corner of the cell collapsed with a crash, and thousands of ants climbed out of the hole. Dong knows that this is the escape route that the ant king leads the ants to eat. He bowed gratefully to the ants and escaped from the prison on a thunderstorm night.
Later, Dong always warned his descendants that to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, we should start from little things, not small things.
