1.Guan Bao's friendship Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya
From the Western Han Dynasty Sima Qian's "Historical Records: The Biography of Guan Zhong": "The parents who gave birth to me, and Bao Ziye, the one who knows me." ”
Guan Zhong, whose family is poor, shoulders the heavy responsibility of supporting his mother. The weight of life made his face haggard, but his eyes were always steadfast. Uncle Bao, knowing him, understanding him, and believing in him, is like a ray of warm sunshine illuminating Guan Zhong's life path. When Guan Zhong was short of funds due to his family's poverty, Uncle Bao generously donated money and used his actions to tell the world what it means to share weal and beyond. On the battlefield, they interpret what it means to be friends of life and death. Whenever he charged, Guan Zhong always stood silently at the end of the line, just to protect his responsibility to his family. People misunderstood him, thinking that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but Uncle Bao knew the persistence and responsibility behind him. He used trust and understanding to dispel the haze of misunderstanding in the world for Guan Zhong. Time flies, and when the king of Qi died, the battle for the throne was about to break out. Uncle Bao had an insight into the situation and fled from Qi with the little prince Xiaobai. Guan Zhong fled to Lu with the little prince. Soon after, the eldest prince was killed, and the civil strife in Qi intensified. At this critical moment, Guan Zhong tried to assassinate Xiaobai and seize the throne in order to rectify it. However, fate played a joke with Guan Zhong, the arrow was deflected, and Xiaobai survived. After Xiaobai ascended the throne, Bao Shuya strongly recommended Guan Zhong as the prime minister. He is well aware of Guan Zhong's talent and ability, and he understands Guan Zhong's loyalty to the country. In the face of Xiaobai's doubts and incomprehension, Uncle Bao calmly expressed Guan Zhong's hardships and righteousness. At Uncle Bao's insistence, Xiaobai finally invited Guan Zhong back. And Guan Zhong also lived up to expectations and governed the Qi State in an orderly manner. People in later generations, whenever they mention Guan Bao's friendship, will be moved by their friendship. With trust and understanding, they have written a story that has been praised through the ages. Their stories show us that true friendship transcends the distractions and misunderstandings of the world, and is like a river that flows forever to nourish people's hearts. 2.Bosom friend Yu Boya and Zhong Zi period
From "Liezi Tangwen". The idiom "mountains and flowing water" is a metaphor for a confidant or bosom friend, and it is also a metaphor for beauty.
In the distant Spring and Autumn Period, there was a talented man named Yu Boya, who was superb in the piano, but he always felt that his performance had failed to reach the state of superbness. His teacher knew his confusion, so he took him by boat to Penglai Island in the East China Sea, and asked him to find the soul of ** in the embrace of nature. Boya stood on the edge of the stormy waves, watching the waves splash and listening to the singing of the seabirds, as if the harmonious sounds of nature were ringing in his ears. He couldn't help but take out the piano and let the notes flow with his mood, incorporating the rhythm of nature into the sound. However, no one could understand his **, and he felt a deep loneliness and loneliness. One night, Boya took a boat trip, facing the breeze and the bright moon, his thoughts flowed like a spring. The sound of the piano sounded again, melodious to the ears, as if telling his inner story. However, it is difficult to find a bosom friend in the world, and no matter how beautiful the sound of Boya's piano is, no one can understand it. Later, Zhong Ziqi passed away, and after learning the news, Boya smoothed the last piece of his life in front of Ziqi's grave, and then broke the strings of the piano and never played the piano again. The story of Boya and the child period has been passed down through the ages, and the beautiful music of the mountains and rivers still seems to echo in people's hearts. And the kind of sorrow that is difficult to find and confidant is still performed in the world. 3.The friend of the sacrifice of his life, the corner mourns and the peach of Bo Tao
An allusion from "Sheep Left".
In the turbulent period of the ancient Warring States, there were two brave men, Zuo Botao and Yang Jiaoai, whose stories were known as "Yang Zuo" and have been praised by the world to this day. On that snowy winter day, Zuo Botao and Yang Jiaowai traveled together and went to Chu to see the king of Chuzhuang. With great ambitions, they embarked on a difficult journey. However, the sky is not beautiful, the snow is falling, the wind is cold, and they are facing the test of life and death with thin clothes. There is little food left, and the road ahead is boundless, and crises lurk. At this life-and-death moment, Zuo Botao showed fearless courage and firm faith. He did not hesitate to hand over all his clothes and food to Sheep's Horn, and in order for his friends to move forward smoothly, he chose a path of no return. Zuo Botao hid in an empty tree, sacrificed his life for righteousness, and finally committed suicide. His actions shook the heavens and the earth and moved the world. Sheep's sorrow was gripped by deep grief, but he understood that his friend's sacrifice had paid for his survival. He is determined to pass on Zuo Botao's friendship and make their story an eternal legend. This deep friendship is called "Yang Zuo", which is not only a memory of the two brave men, but also the highest praise for friendship. Their stories have become stories that have been passed down through the ages, touching generations of people. 4.Friends of the rubber knees, Chen Zhong and Lei Yi
From "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of the Lonely Ranks: Chen Chong": "I am less friends with Lei Yi of the same county, and I learn Lu poetry and Yan's Spring and Autumn Period. ”
The friendship between the knees is about the deep friendship between Chen Zhong and Lei Yi. The two of them, like the fusion of Lu Shi and Yan's Spring and Autumn Period, have deep emotions and are inseparable from each other. Since childhood, they have become close friends, and they are well-educated, complementing each other and going to the road of life together.
Taishou Zhang Yun heard of Chen Chong's name and recommended him as filial piety, but Chen Chong gave this fame to Lei Yi, and applied to Taishou more than ten times. It wasn't until the second year that Lei Yi was also promoted to filial piety, and they went to the county government together as officials. In the days when they were officials in the same dynasty, they supported each other, treated each other with all sincerity, asked for the people's lives, and the government was full of voices. They climbed to the top together, worshiped Shang Shulang, and worked together to create brilliance. However, Lei Yi was dismissed from his post for being punished on behalf of others, and Chen Chong resigned and returned to his hometown on the grounds that he was ill. Not long after returning to his hometown, Lei Yi was recommended as a showman, but he wanted to give this fame to Chen Chong. If the assassin did not approve it, Lei Yi pretended to be crazy, wore a cloak and scattered his hair, and ran for Chen Chong on the street to appeal. The villagers admired their friendship as indestructible. In the end, the three governments recruited two people at the same time. Until the end of their lives, they still had the same rank, worshiped the imperial history, and died in office. They have advanced and retreated together all their lives, sticking to that deep friendship, which has moved the world.
