Appreciation of Zhang Qingfeng's Filial Piety in Reuters Biscuit

Qingfeng county, Henan Province is the only county in China named after a dutiful son. Qingfeng was called Dunqiu in ancient times. In the Sui Dynasty, Zhang Qingfeng, a famous China dutiful son, was born in China. In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed qingfeng county in memory of this filial ancestor.

According to legend, Zhang Qingfeng was smart, alert and studious when he was young, but his family was poor, so it was difficult for him to enter school under the guidance of his teacher. He eavesdrops outside the private school every day, steals notes and learns knowledge. Later, when my father was seriously ill, Zhang Qingfeng guarded him day and night, taking medicine and defecating, and never bothered him. After his father died of illness, he lived alone with his mother, making and selling cookies for a living. Every day, you must respect your mother and never sell the baked sesame cakes. When high-priced buyers appeared, Zhang Qingfeng respectfully persuaded: "Mountains are not as high as the sun, and people are not as high as their parents. Those who don't know the grace of their parents are in vain. "

Since then, Zhang Qingfeng's filial piety has been widely spread, and his biscuit shop business is getting better and better. In order not to forget the help of the villagers, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Qingfeng agreed to hang a "charity card" in front of the sesame cake shop, which read "The elderly, the sick and the disabled come to buy cakes at half price". One day, a lame guest in rags came to his shop, looked at the "charity card" carefully first, and then asked, "Boss, how much are your cookies?" Zhang Qingfeng replied: "A copper coin, you buy it, two copper coins." The lame guest sighed and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. It's just that there is an old mother at home. She is very ill and won't eat or drink. She just wants to taste your' first baked wheat cake' by herself. I climbed mountains and waded here. I hope you can sell me two biscuits to comfort my dying parents. " Zhang Qingfeng quickly bowed and fuels: "Filial piety. Qingfeng is really touched that you can have this filial piety, but our rules are no exception. You know what? You came all this way, and I gave you two special baked wheat cakes for free. Count me Zhang Qingfeng for being filial to your parents! " Qingfeng turned to get the cake, and the guest officer quickly waved his hand, claiming that this was not the first batch of baked wheat cakes and he could not go home to see his parents. He squatted at the door, as if he wouldn't leave until he was given baked wheat cakes. Just then, a group of officers and men on horseback roared and stopped to eat in front of the biscuit shop.

The officers and men from Beijing are led by Taishou Lu. Zhang Qingfeng hurried to meet him and said, "My Lord, do you want to buy sesame cakes?"

Lord Lu put the whip on the table: "Yes, I haven't eaten baked wheat cakes in my hometown for more than ten years. Bring the baked cookies quickly, I'm still in a hurry! " A dozen officers and men quickly swept away the biscuits on the table. Lord Lu didn't take the steering wheel. Let him wait for a while. At this time, Zhang's mother, Grandma Liu, came over and pointed to the wooden box and said, "Fenger, aren't there two cakes in the wooden box?" Let's give it to adults first! " Zhang Qingfeng quickly declined: "That won't do! This is the first stove of sesame seed cake, which is for your pension! " After that, I took the sesame seed cake off the stove and gave it to the adults. "Just baked or delicious. Take it quickly! "

Lord Lu picked up the hot cake and took a bite. The soup made him feel feverish, and he immediately flew into a rage and asked for the biscuits in the shop. Seeing that the adults were angry, Zhang Qingfeng bowed with his fist and explained, "I'm sorry, my Lord, there is a rule in our shop that baked cakes are never sold. Even if the emperor comes and gives me 22 thousand gold, I can't break the rules of this store ... "Before the words were finished, Master Lu suddenly gave a slap in the face:" How dare you disobey the emperor! " Seeing that she angered the adults, Zhang Mu quickly interceded and suggested that Zhang Qingfeng make an exception and let the adults eat these two baked wheat cakes. But Zhang Qingfeng resolutely refused and knelt down and said to his mother, "Mom, I can't do this. As the saying goes, mountains are not as high as the sun, and people are not as high as their parents. People love to eat the tip of the pot, and God loves the first incense. Qingfeng opened a shop to make sesame cakes, and respected Gao Tang when he was out of the stove. Making a cake is a trivial matter, but I can't ruin the faith that the world abides by and be an unfilial descendant with a smile! "

After listening to this, Lu Guogong felt deeply guilty: "Boss, get up. Forgive my rudeness. I only know how to eat sesame cakes, and I didn't know there were so many manners in sesame cakes. The official was also born to his parents and wanted to be a dutiful son, but the weather was not beautiful and his parents had already passed away. Leave your donkey biscuits to your mother. " Zhang Qingfeng took the opportunity to present the sesame seed cake: "Adults are not spicy, please use the sesame seed cake!" Lord Lu took the cake in both hands, thanked him again and again, led the officers and men, whipped the horse and ran away.

Just after seeing Master Lu off, the lame guest officer who had been squatting at the door suddenly stood up and smiled: "Boss, you really deserve your reputation." I am the secretariat of Weizhou, and I have come to make an unannounced visit to show my filial piety. Although I have heard about your deeds for a long time, I am even more convinced when I see them today. It is a blessing for Dunqiu to have such a filial son, and it is a blessing for the Sui Dynasty! I will put the book on the table and invite the emperor! "Say goodbye and leave.

From then on, Zhang Qingfeng's filial piety spread all over the world, admired by the world, and became the first filial son of China.
