Idiom story
Zilu, Zigong and ran you are all disciples of Confucius. Zilu is brave. At the age of 63, Zilu was the Minister of Kong Zhen, a doctor of the state of Wei. In the 15th year of Duke AI of Lu, civil strife broke out in the state of Wei, and Kong was hijacked. Zilu knew the news and rushed to the capital to rescue him. Outside the city, when Gao Chai, a doctor of the state of Wei, escaped from the city, Gao Chai advised Zilu not to go in. Zilu said, "if I take Kong's salary, I should save him." He was killed in the city. Zi Gong's words are unparalleled. Uncle Sun Wu said, "Zi Gong is more virtuous than Confucius." After knowing this, Zi Gong said, "take the wall as an analogy. My wall is shoulder high. Standing outside the wall, you can see the magnificence of my home. Confucius' wall is several feet high. If you can't find a door to enter, you can't see the magnificent and colorful scene. There are too few people who can get in. It's understandable that Mr. Sun Shu said so! " Ran you has the ability to run a country. Ji Kangzi, a doctor of the state of Lu, asked Confucius, "can ran you be in politics?" Confucius said: "ran you are versatile. What's wrong with being in politics?" Ji Kangzi asked ran you to help him. In the 11th year of Duke AI of Lu, the army of Qi attacked the state of Lu. Ran you led the army of Lu to resist the strong enemy and won the victory. Su Dongpo of Song Dynasty said: "the courage of Zi Lu, the argument of Zi Gong, and the wisdom of Ran you are all the so-called difficult and valuable in the world.
