The ancient Chinese attached great importance to Xinyi, and it has always been regarded as an important part of moral cultivation and personality composition, which is the foundation of people's lives, so they have produced many moving deeds of Xinyi.

In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu in Chudi, who was upright and chivalrous, as long as it was something he promised, no matter how difficult it was, he would try to do it, so he was widely praised by everyone. When Chu and Han were fighting, Ji Bu was Xiang Yu's subordinate and offered advice several times, causing Liu Bang's army to suffer defeat. After Xiang Yu's defeat, Ji Bu fought his way out of the encirclement alone and began his life of exile. And Liu Bang, who became the emperor, was angry when he thought of this, so he ordered Ji Bu to be arrested. Those who admired Jib were secretly helping him. Soon, after Ji Bu disguised himself, he went to work as a helper in a family surnamed Zhu in Shandong. The Zhu family knew that he was Ji Bu, but still took him in. Later, the Zhu family went to Ruyin Hou Xiahou Ying to intercede. Under the persuasion of Xiahou Ying, Liu Bang not only revoked Ji Bu's arrest, but also made him Langzhong, and soon changed to Hedong Taishou. Ji Bu had a fellow villager, Cao Qiusheng, who heard that Ji Bu had become a big official, so he immediately went to see Ji Bu. But Ji Bu misunderstood him a little, and knew that he was coming, so he made a tiger face and was ready to send a few words, so that he could not get off the stage. Who knew that as soon as Cao Qiusheng entered the hall, no matter how gloomy Ji Bu's face was and how ugly his words were, he just bowed to Ji Bu and made a gesture, wanting to catch up with Ji Bu's family, and said: "You and I are both from Chudi, and since we are fellow villagers, we should cherish our hometown." I heard that there is a saying in Chudi: 'It is better to get a thousand taels of gold than to get Ji Bu Yinuo.' How did you have such a good reputation in Liang and Chu? It is because you are my countryman that I have spread your word everywhere. Why don't you want to see me and become friends with me?" Ji Bu listened to Cao Qiusheng's words, and his misunderstanding of him was immediately eliminated, and the two became close friends from then on.
In ancient times, honesty was still so important, and a few days ago, a survey of Shanghai citizens showed that more than 90 percent of people believe that honesty and trustworthiness will suffer losses to varying degrees, which to some extent reflects the lack of integrity of Chinese. As a moral constraint on honesty and trustworthiness, Chinese society actually lacks the spirit of contract, which is precisely the main reason for Chinese dishonesty. Honesty and trustworthiness and keeping promises are a virtue of living in the world, and it is the foundation of living in the world. If a person does not keep his word and loses the trust of others, it is like losing something more precious than a thousand gold. The wife of Zeng Zi, a master of ancient Confucianism, went to the market to catch the market, and her son cried and wanted to follow. His mother said to him, "Go home and stay there, and then I will come back and kill the pig for you to eat." When Zengzi's wife came back from the bazaar, she saw Zengzi trying to catch a piglet and kill it. She advised, "I'm just joking with the child." Zeng Zi said: "Madam, this is no joke! Children do not have the ability to think and judge, so they must learn from their parents and listen to the correct teachings given by their parents. Now you are deceiving him, this is teaching children to deceive! A mother deceives her son, and the son will no longer trust his mother, this is not the right way to educate a child. So Tseng killed the pig, boiled it, and gave it to his son to eat. To educate children to be honest and trustworthy from an early age, parents must play an exemplary role. We often see some parents in order to coax the crying child, they wish to buy him what toys, take him to what good place to play, etc., the child was laughing and laughing, and even dancing happily, if in the end it is empty and happy, and is fooled and deceived by adults, who else can they believe?
