Chapter 20: Loyalty, Righteousness, Benevolence, and Filial Piety

Kong Rong Ziwenju, a literary thinker in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, believes that every Chinese has learned the story of Kong Rong Rangli in the three-character classic. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info first appeared in the Tang Dynasty Zhang Huai Prince Li Xian, for the Later Han Dynasty book in the annotations. The story of Kong Rong Rang Pear teaches us that each of us should learn to be humble and learn to share with others, and many of Kong Rong's deeds are the inheritance of our Chinese nation's moral thinking.

Friends who like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should know some about the story of Kong Rong growing up. In the book, the eighteen princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and one of the princes was the Beihai Taishou Kong Rong. And Kong Rong in history did do Beihai Taishou, Taishou was the local governor of the Han Dynasty, and in this time, Tao Qian also asked Kong Rong for help, and Kong Rong also generously sent troops. Tai Shici, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms Sun Wu who is loved by many people, actually used to be Kong Rong's general in history. After all, it is not entirely consistent with history. In the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, the Biography of Kong Rong" recorded a lot of Kong Rong's deeds, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty "The Disaster of the Party", the loyal minister Zhang Jian was persecuted by the traitorous party and fled to Kong Rong's house, when Kong Rong's brother Kong Bao was not at home, Kong Rong took Zhang Jian in charge. Later, Zhang Jian's hiding in Kong Rong's house was leaked, Zhang Jian fled, and the traitorous party searched Kong Rong's house and arrested Kong Rong's family. The traitorous party did not know who was in charge of taking Zhang Jian in, but as a result, the two brothers fought to bear the responsibility for the crime, and Kong Rong said: I am the master who did it, and if you want to kill me, you will kill me! Brother Kong Bao said: Zhang Jian knows me, and he actually came to find me. It's not about Kong Rong. Kong Rong's mother also stood up: I am their mother, and my family should be held accountable for committing crimes. I deserve to die! This is the heartfelt "Fighting for the Death" in history. Later, Kong Rong's brother Kong Bao was killed. But Kong Rong's noble character of fighting for his brother to the death also began to spread. Zhang Jian was loyal to the country and was framed, Kong Rong saved him from being loyal to the country, and fighting for the death is filial piety, Kong Rong in history is not only a filial son, but also a chivalrous man. Although Kong Rong has high morals, there is no lack of wild and uninhibited celebrities. His famous saying "The guests are always full, the wine in the bottle is not empty, and I have no worries" is a vivid embodiment of this kind of celebrity style. And this kind of willful and dissolute celebrity style led Kong Rong to death. Once Cao Cao captured Yecheng, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi occupied Zhen, the wife of Yuan Xi, the original owner of Yecheng. Kong Rong then said to Cao Cao: Very good. This is like King Wu of Zhou killed the King of Zhou, and then gave the concubine of the King of Zhou, Daji, to the Duke of Zhou. Cao Cao was stunned for a moment: Which ancient book did you say this story come from? I didn't expect Kong Rong's answer to be "Take it for granted". It means that from what you are doing now, it can be inferred that the ancients did the same. Cao Cao was furious: Isn't this sarcastic about our father and son? So he hated Kong Rong. In the end, he found a shameless literati named Lu Cui and fabricated a lot of charges for Kong Rong, and the biggest crime turned out to be unfilial piety. And in the fabricated facts, it is said that Kong Rong once said that there is actually no kindness between father and son. The father's birth of a child is just the result of **** and so on. Emperor Xian of Han listened to the rumors, so he ordered Kong Rong to be killed. When Kong Rong was arrested, his two sons were still playing chess leisurely, and when others asked why they didn't run away, the two children said a genius sentence: How can there be a reason why the bird's nest is destroyed, and the bird's eggs in the nest are not broken? In fact, these two children have long been ready to die with their father. This sentence is both a contempt for death and a despair of political darkness. Kong Rong was not only a politician, but also a writer. In the history of literature, the seven sons of Jian'an have Kong Rong. Interestingly, it was Cao Pi who listed Kong Rong as the seventh son of Jian'an. Cao Pi's evaluation of Kong Rong is that he has a wonderful body and is an outstanding person. You can't hold the argument, and the reason is overwhelming. This should also be regarded as a very pertinent evaluation of Kong Rong.

The Three Character Classic is used as a classic enlightenment book for children, but in reality, a well-known scholar surnamed Zhao in China said that "Kong Rong Makes Pears" is a failed educational sample. Ranran said: "Let the pear not be allowed is originally my own business, and it is really unnecessary to make it a mandatory norm for children, and even use it to flaunt morality." "But in my opinion, this scholar knows nothing about traditional Chinese culture, so don't use your moral values to influence others and grandstand. The teacher's teaching is the guidance of the students' classical Chinese civilization, only in this way can we see the growth and inheritance of moral life, and see the loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety of Kong Rong, which is the common wealth of our Chinese nation.
