Sima Qian is China's most outstanding historian. His history book is one of the most classic books in China.

The name of this book is (Historical Records).

 

The characters recorded in the books written by historians before him were nobles.

 

When he wrote this history, he added special chapters in which he recorded the biographies of commoners who behaved morally and justly, with simplicity and humility of character, and who behaved differently from the general public.

 

One of the biographies reads as follows

 

Shandong Province is the hometown of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and there are many Confucian scholars there.

There was a man called Zhu Jia who lived in the period between the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

 

It was a chaotic time. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, wars broke out all over China.

Many people lost their homes, many people lost loved ones, and the place where he lived was no exception.

 

If he found someone living in poverty in the town where he lived, he would actively and enthusiastically help them.

He spent all his family's money on others, he wore ragged clothes and his food was very simple. His means of transport is a bullock cart, he is busy helping others every day, and he values other people's difficulties more than his own needs.

 

If he helps you, he won't ask for anything in return, he won't brag about what he has done for you, he will even avoid you because he doesn't want you to feel indebted to him.

 

To give an example, there is a man called (Ji Bu), (Ji Bu) was listed as a wanted criminal by the founding king of the Han Dynasty.


He helped (Ji Bu) through that difficult time.


(Ji Bu) was later pardoned by the King of Han Dynasty. (Ji Bu) wanted to repay his kindness several times, but he refused.

 

He helped too many people. Among the people he helped, there are hundreds of people who became famous like (Ji Bu), and there are countless other ordinary people.

 

All those who knew him respected him greatly, and those who did not know him admired him greatly when they heard about his behaviour.

He was such a special person that I wrote his biography for him.

 

 

This idiom is used to describe a person who is enthusiastic and proactive in helping others solve difficulties.

 

Dear friend, after listening to this story, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have?

If you had a lot of money, what would you do with it? Have you thought about a question? What can you leave to the world when you die?

I hope this story can bring you a new harvest.

Well-deserved reputation (名不虛立)

 

Well-deserved reputation (名不虛立)

 

Sima Qian is China's most outstanding historian. His history book is one of the most classic books in China.

The name of this book is (Historical Records).

In this book, he refers to the historical and social phenomena he observed.

 

The ancient historians, the characters in the books they wrote, were all nobles.

 

If you are a commoner, you quietly practise your own behaviour and pay attention to your own integrity.

You keep your promises and are careful in your actions.

You defend the value of life you insist on, you don't care what the general public thinks, and you are willing to sacrifice your life to defend your beliefs.

 

Your actions are as worthy of record as those of the nobles revered by the people, and can inspire many generations to come.

But since you are not an aristocrat, no one will write your personal biography for you.

 

As a historian, I sigh when I think of that.

So when I was writing this history, I decided to write a biography of those common people who were moral and just, simple and humble, and who behaved differently from the general public.

 

The time before the Han Dynasty is too far away from the present, so I have no way of verifying it. I have chosen a few commoners from the Han Dynasty whose lives I can verify.

 

These are the people I write into the history books, and my criteria are as follows.

 

These people cannot rely on their wealth and power to bully the poor.

These people cannot use violence to oppress the weaker classes.

These people have high moral standards and do not indulge their desires.

Their behaviour is recognised and respected by everyone in society.

 

I hope that through this biography I have written, these people can be known and emulated by future generations.

This idiom is used to describe a person whose reputation matches his actual behaviour.

 

Dear friend, after listening to this story, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have?

If you were to write your own autobiography, what would you include? Would what you said match what you did?

I hope this story can bring you a new harvest.

He follows the tides of the world(與世沉浮)

He follows the tides of the world(與世沉浮)

 

Sima Qian is China's most outstanding historian. His history book is one of the most classic books in China.

The name of this book is (Historical Records).

In this book, he refers to the historical and social phenomena he observed.

 

From the history books we can see that there are some scholars who have high moral standards. These scholars believe that only their own views are right and everyone else's views are wrong.

These scholars think that they are better than everyone else, and these scholars have a narrow vision.

 

From the history books, we can see that there are other scholars who have shown themselves to have high moral standards, but these scholars follow the trend of the world, and these scholars get money by shaping the image of their high moral standards and reputation.

 

From the history books we can also see another kind of people.

These people are not of high status, and they may not have read many books.

 

But this type of person has one characteristic. Although most people think that the behaviour of this kind of people is morally low, and the behaviour of this kind of people does not conform to the legal norms, this kind of people have their own unique life values.

 

These people attach great importance to reciprocity between people. If you treat him well, he will find a way to repay you.

If he promises you something, he will keep his promise.

 

They defend the value of life they insist on, they don't care what the general public thinks, and they are even willing to sacrifice their lives to defend their beliefs.

 

Between these two types of people, we tend to think that these scholars have made greater contributions to society.

We tend to look down on those of lower status.

 

But I have learned a surprising fact from the history books: when these scholars encounter dangers and difficulties in their lives, those who really help them are often not the friends of their scholars, but those who take practical action A person who defends his own life value.

 

There is a saying that goes like this.

I don't care if a person has a reputation for justice and benevolence, if he is willing to help me, then he is of irreplaceable value to me.

 

 

If you look at it that way, then it applies to those scholars who are in danger and trouble.

A person who is truly willing to take action to help him will be his true friend.

 

This phrase is used to describe a person who follows the worldly trend and has no independent mind.

 

Dear friend, after listening to this story, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have?

When you are in trouble, who are the people who are really willing to help you? Do you think that the people around you are your real friends?

I hope this story can bring you a new harvest.

He is trustworthy in his words and decisive in his actions.(言必信,行必果)

 

Sima Qian is China's most outstanding historian. His history book is one of the most classic books in China.

The name of this book is (Historical Records).

In this book he mentions a class of people he has observed.

 

From the history books we can see many people with high moral standards.

Some of these people were once slaves, some were put in prison, some had no food to eat, some were forced to do menial work, and these people often encountered many dangers.

 

Most of us have average moral standards, and each of us will encounter many unexpected disasters in our lives.

 

But I see that there is another kind of people in society. Although their behaviour is judged by most people to be of a low moral standard, and their behaviour does not conform to the norms of the law, these people have their own unique moral standards.

 

He is willing to sacrifice his life to help those in need.

If they have done you a great favour, they will not boast about it and will not expect anything in return.

He is very trustworthy in his words and very decisive in his actions.

He will do what he says he will do and is very honest.

 

I think that although the behaviour of such people is not up to the standard of good people recognised by the general public, there is still something worthy of our praise and learning from such people.

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

How do you view the various hardships you encounter in your life? Do you judge the moral level of others in an unobjective way?

I hope this story can bring you a new harvest.

A simple and empty thatched hut.(空室蓬戶)

He wears clothes made of coarse cloth and eats rough food.(褐衣疏食)

 

Sima Qian is the most outstanding historian in China. His history book is one of the most classic books in China.

The name of this book is (Historical Records).

 

In this book he mentioned a phenomenon he observed.

 

I saw recently that there are many Confucian scholars who are very famous. These scholars served as high officials in the central government of the Han Dynasty. The king trusted these scholars and these scholars had great influence.

 

In addition, I saw some other Confucian scholars. These scholars don't care whether they have status or fame. These scholars concentrate on reading and doing research. These scholars have higher moral standards than ordinary people, stick to their own principles, and will not be influenced by secular trends.

 

Many rich and powerful people will laugh at these scholars.

 

These scholars are like (Ji Ci) and (Yuan Xian), two famous students of Confucius.

 

These two people lived in an empty thatched hut all their lives. The two students of Confucius ate very simple and wore ordinary clothes every day.

But although they did not have any power or money during their lifetime, their influence continues to this day, and their lifestyles are respected and imitated by many people.

 

These two idioms are both used to describe a person's life is very poor.

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

Do you want to live brilliantly or peacefully? Do you think matter is more important or mind is more important?

I hope this story can give you some new harvest.

The king was very moved, the king said to him.

You take care of me so hard, I am very grateful to you.

I want you to stay and take care of me.

The prince stayed to take care of the king that day, but the prince was very unhappy, and his face showed impatience.

Seeing the prince's expression, the king sighed.

 

Hearing the king's sigh, the prince felt ashamed that he had not been patient with his father.

A few minutes later the prince felt angry. He felt that because of Deng Tong's behavior, his father felt that he was not good enough.

 

A few years later, the king died. The prince succeeded to the throne as the new king.

The new king did not like Deng Tong, and the new king removed Deng Tong from his official position.

 

The new king sent someone to check Deng Tong's accounts. The new king found that Deng Tong used copper from the copper mine given to him by the king to cast legal coins, and he also used copper from other copper mines to cast legal coins.

 

This was a serious crime, since copper from other mines was the property of the king.

He has seriously violated the king's interests.

 

The king seized all his property and asked him to pay a huge fine.

After he went bankrupt, the new king ordered.

Starting today, as long as Deng Tong earns money, the money he earns will be given priority in paying the fine.

You have a strange look on your face, you don't have to worry that you will be punished, you tell the future you see.

 

The fortune teller pointed to Deng Tong and said.

He will fall into extreme poverty in his old age, and he will starve to death because he has no money to buy food.

 

The king laughed when he heard this.

 

The king said to the fortune teller and Deng Tong.

I am the king, and I can bestow favors on anyone I like.

 

I now declare that I will give Deng Tong a copper mine in Sichuan Province, and I will give him a special right that he can use the copper in this copper mine to mint legal coins.

If he has no money, he can mint legal tender at any time.

I believe he will never be poor.

 

Because of this incident, Deng Tong became a superrich man at that time.

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

How much money do you hope to earn in this life? How much do you think a person can earn? Is the most important reason is fate or personal hard work?

I hope this story can give you some new harvest
