He was one of the students of Confucius and
an important representative of the Confucian school.
Regarding (Zeng Shen), there is a story
about him in the history book.
One day, (Zengshen)'s wife is going out to
work, and (Zengshen)'s son also wants to go with his mother.
(Zeng Shen)'s wife said to her son. If you
stay at home yourself, I will promise you a request.
The son said to his mother, then I want to
eat pork.
(Zeng Shen)'s wife replied that there was
no problem. You stayed at home. After I came back, I killed the pig we raised,
and you can eat pork.
When (Zengshen) came home, he saw his son's
expression very happy, so (Zengshen) asked him what happened.
Zeng Shen's son told his father his
mother's promise to him.
When (Zengshen)'s wife came home, she saw
(Zengshen) was about to kill the pig, and his wife hurried to stop him.
(Zengshen)'s wife told (Zengshen) that I
didn't want to kill this pig, and my promise was not genuine.
(Zeng Shen) answered his wife very seriously
at this time.
Each child is like a blank piece of paper,
so the child will learn what the parents do.
If we do not honour our promises now, how
can we ask our children to be honest people afterwards?
Then (Zeng Shen) said to his wife, do you
think a pig is more important than our commitment to children?
So, (Zengshen) killed the pig.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you agree with Zeng Sen's view? Do you
not easily promise, but as long as the promise will be fulfilled?
Hope this story will give you some new
gains.

他是孔子的學生之一，是儒家學派的重要代表人物。
關於(曾參)，歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
有一天，(曾參)的妻子要出門辦事，(曾參)的兒子也想要跟他的媽媽一起去。
(曾參)的妻子對兒子說。如果你自己待在家裡面，我就答應你一個要求。
兒子對媽媽說，那我想吃到豬肉。
(曾參)的妻子回答說沒問題，你待在家裡，我回來後，我把我們養的那一隻豬殺了，你就能有吃到豬肉了。
當(曾參)回家時，看見兒子表情很開心，所以(曾參)便問他發生了甚麼事情。
曾參的兒子便告訴父親，媽媽對他的承諾。
當(曾參)的妻子回家的時候，她看見(曾參)正準備殺豬，妻子趕緊去阻止他。
(曾參)的妻子對(曾參)說，我不想殺這隻豬，我的承諾不是真心的。
(曾參)這時候很嚴肅的回答自己的妻子說。
每個小孩就像是一張空白的紙，所以父母做甚麼，小孩就會學甚麼。
我們如果現在不履行承諾，那我們之後怎麼要求我們的小孩做一個誠實的人呢。
然後(曾參)對妻子說，你覺得一隻豬與我們對孩子的承諾相比較，那個比較重要呢?
於是，(曾參)就把豬殺了。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是否認同曾參的看法呢?你是否不會輕易的許諾，但是只要承諾就會去完成呢。
希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
