In 1993, the costume drama "Bao Qingtian" filmed by China Television Company made audiences across the country know Yin Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion during the reign of Song Renzong.
Some famous cases such as "The Case of Chen Shimei", "Tanuki for the Prince", and "True and False Champions" are also widely known and have been adapted into dramas.
More than 1,000 years later, Bao Zheng's 29th generation grandson Bao Yugang became a world-famous generation of "ship king", in the business field, he adhered to the attitude of his ancestors, and donated to the motherland several times, and behind these actions, is a "legacy" to support.
1. Pure heart is the root cause of the straight road is a personal strategy.
Bao Zheng, whose name is Xiren, was born in 999 A.D., and is a native of Feidong County, Hefei City, Anhui Province. Unlike the plot of the TV series, Bao Zheng's parents have always been alive.
In 1027, Bao Zheng was 28 years old, and after years of hard work, he was finally admitted to the Jinshi, and was appointed as the judge of Dali and served as the prefect of Jianchang County, which is located in today's Yongxiu, Jiangxi.
The place of work is hundreds of miles away from his hometown, and the transportation was very inconvenient in ancient times.
After thinking about it again, Bao Zheng asked the emperor to serve near his hometown, and the Song Dynasty has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and was grateful for Bao Zheng's filial piety, and allowed him to go to Hezhou, which is a little closer to home.
Hezhou is still far away from Hefei, Bao Zheng is unwilling to disobey the holy order, and unwilling to stay away from his parents, and finally chose to resign, preferring to abandon the official rather than do it, but also to stay by his parents' side.
A few years later, Bao Zheng's parents died one after another, he built a thatched house next to his parents' tombs, and lived there to keep filial piety for his parents, until 1037, Bao Zheng went to Beijing to listen to the election, and was awarded the Tianchang Zhi County.
As a son, Bao Zheng is loyal and filial to his parents, and as a parent official, he is also upright, honest and honest.
According to the "History of the Song Dynasty", Duanzhou is famous for producing inkstones, and Duanzhou is one of the four famous inkstones in China, which is black and shiny, warm and moist like jade. The imperial court stipulated that Duanzhou should regularly offer a certain amount of inkstone to the imperial court as a tribute every year.
Since then, the value of Duan inkstone has risen sharply, and the local ** saw the huge profits from it, so they made a stumbling block, and let the craftsmen produce ten times the amount of tribute inkstone, which was used to make friends with the powerful people in the court. This has undoubtedly increased the burden on the local people, who dare not speak out.
After Bao Zheng arrived, he immediately rectified this unhealthy trend and cut off the way to make profits. When Bao Zheng left office, the people of Duanzhou gave him an inkstone in order to express their respect for Bao Zheng.
His subordinates had always known that Bao Zheng hated ordinary gifts, but this inkstone was not gold and silver jewelry, so they thought it was no big deal, so they accepted it for Bao Zheng privately.
On the way, after Bao Zheng found the inkstone, he not only became furious and reprimanded his subordinates, but then threw the inkstone into the river himself. In this way, I show my heart, what does not belong to me, and I will never covet the slightest.
Bao Zheng is jealous and hateful, and he is loyal and kind all his life, if there are relatives and friends who do unfaithful and unrighteous things, he will never tolerate them, and he will be even more strict with his relatives.
In 1062, Bao Zheng died, at that time, the people inside and outside the court and the counties were all heartbroken, Song Renzong dropped out of the dynasty for a day, in order to mourn, and gave Bao Zheng the nickname "Xiaosu".
Second, the most precious "legacy".
For thousands of years, Bao Zheng's descendants have long flourished, scattered all over the country, engaged in all walks of life. Among them, the most accomplished is the 29th generation Sun Bao Yugang.
Bao Yugang was born in Ningbo in 1918, has been in business for generations, and his father Bao Zhaolong inherited the family's business.
Since Bao Yugang can remember, his father has often taught him to be honest and loyal, no matter what work he does in the future, he must not be insatiable, and Bao Yugang has always kept his father's words in his heart.
At the age of 13, Bao Yugang went to the Pinghe Shoe and Hat Village in Hankou to learn how to do business, which is also a tradition of Ningbo merchants for many years, learning by doing.
In 1949, Pao went to Hong Kong with his family and began to run the shipping business, and in 1955, Pao bought an old cargo ship from Britain and founded Universal Company.
By 1969, Bao Yugang, who had ordered 57 oil tankers of more than 200,000 tons, had become the world's unrivaled ship king.
In the business world, he is the most trustworthy business partner, because Bao Yugang will never betray his friends and betray morality for the sake of profit, this appearance is just like Bao Zheng when the case was decided, selfless but affectionate and righteous.
The similarity in the standards of behavior is just a coincidence in Bao Yugang's view, because at this time he did not know the identity of Bao Zheng's descendant.
In 1984, when he went to Ningbo to visit Tianyi Pavilion, he found out that he was the 29th grandson of Bao Zheng on the "Hengheyan Bao Family Genealogy".
In Tianyi Pavilion, Bao Yugang also found the Bao family motto written by Bao Zheng himself: "Later generations of descendants and eunuchs, if there are those who commit dirty abuse, they shall not be released to their own family; After death, they are not allowed to be buried in the big sage. Not from my will, not from my descendants. ”
In just 37 words, but every word is beautiful, Bao Yugang suddenly realized that it was originally from his young father's teaching to himself, and it came from this family motto. It turns out that this is the most valuable "heritage" of the Bao family's descendants.
It was the family motto that taught him to be an upright person, and it was also the family motto that made his career what he is today.
Pao Yugang also leads by example to pass on such qualities and experiences to his children and grandchildren.
In the impression of the eldest daughter, Bao Qingqing, the father is very frugal in his daily life, and he will not buy new shoes if they are not worn out.
What is valuable is that this diligence and thrift are inward-looking.
Bao Yugang, who is careful about himself, is very generous to the country, society, and friends.
In 1984, Bao Yugang took the lead in setting up "Ningbo University" with 20 million US dollars, and donated 10 million US dollars to Shanghai Jiao Tong University to donate to grassroots associations, making great contributions to the country and society.
Her father's words and deeds also profoundly influenced her daughter Bao Beiqing, who was admitted to Purdue University and the University of Chicago in the United States with her own efforts, and is proficient in French, German, and English.
In order to commemorate his father, Bao Beiqing donated funds to establish "Bao Yugang International**" at Zhejiang University in 2004
She also continued her father's dedication and founded the Hand Help Association in Hong Kong, aiming to provide care and care for the elderly who are lonely and widowed.
Bao Yugang, whose temperament is like Bao Zheng, but his attitude of doing his best and doing his best is reflected in everyone who is affected by the family motto.
