The story of Confucius's apprentice: Yan Hui lost the crown

Yan Hui loves to learn, has good morality, and is a proud protégé of Confucius. One day, Yan went back to the street to run errands and saw a cloth shop full of people. When he stepped forward to ask, he learned that there was a dispute between the cloth buyer and the cloth seller. I only heard the shouting of Maibu: "Thirty-eight is twenty-three, why do you want me twenty-four money?" Yan Hui walked up to the cloth buyer, and Shi Yili said, "This big brother, thirty-eight is twenty-four, how can it be twenty-three?" It's your miscalculation, don't make a noise. The person who bought the cloth was still not convinced, pointed to Yan Hui's nose and said, "Who asked you to come out to judge?" How old are you? The only way to judge is to find Confucius, and only he has the final say on whether it is wrong or not! Let's go to him for a review! Yan Hui said, "Okay." What if Confucius comments that you are wrong? The man who bought the cloth said, "Judge me for being wrong and lose my head." Are you wrong? Yan Hui said: "Comment on me for being wrong and losing my crown." The two made a bet and found Confucius. Confucius asked about the situation, smiled at Yan Hui and said, "Thirty-eight is twenty-three!" Yan Hui, you lose, take off the crown and give it to others! Yan Hui never quarreled with the teacher. He heard Confucius comment that he was wrong, so he honestly took off his hat and handed it to the cloth buyer. The man took the hat and walked away triumphantly. Regarding Confucius's judgment, Yan Hui was absolutely obedient on the surface, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart. He thought that Confucius was old and confused, so he didn't want to learn from Confucius anymore. The next day, Yan Hui excused himself and said that there was something at home and he wanted to ask for leave to go back. Confucius understood Yan Hui's thoughts, and he didn't pick it up, nodding his head and granting him leave. Before Yan Hui left, he went to say goodbye to Confucius. Confucius asked him to return when he was done, and instructed him to say two words: "Don't let the thousand-year-old tree survive, and don't do it if you don't know how to kill people." Yan replied, "Remember," and left for home. On the road, there was a sudden surge of wind and clouds, thunder and lightning, and it was going to rain heavily. Yan Hui burrowed into the empty trunk of a big tree on the side of the road, trying to take shelter from the rain. He suddenly remembered Confucius's words that "a thousand-year-old tree does not survive", and thought, master and apprentice, listen to him again, and walked out of the empty trunk again. He had just left not far away when a thunderbolt smashed the ancient tree. Yan Hui was taken aback: the teacher's first sentence came true! Am I going to kill people again? When Yan Hui arrived home, it was already late at night. He didn't want to alarm his family, so he used the sword he was carrying with him to unlock the door of his wife's room. Yan went back to the bed and touched it, ah, yes, there is a person sleeping in the south, and a person sleeping in the north! He was angry in his heart, raised his sword and was about to slash, and remembered the second sentence of Confucius, "Don't do it if you don't know how to kill." He lit the lamp and saw that his wife was sleeping on one end of the bed and his sister on the other...... In the morning, Yan Hui went back again, and when he saw Confucius, he knelt down and said, "Teacher, those two words of yours saved me, my wife and my sister!" How do you know beforehand what is going to happen? Confucius helped Yan Hui up and said, "Yesterday the weather was hot and dry, and it is estimated that there will be thunderstorms, so I remind you that 'thousand-year-old trees do not exist'." You have gone away with a breath and a sword with you, so I warn you, 'Do not do anything that kills without knowing it.'" Yan Hui bowed and said, "The teacher is like a god, and the students are very admired!" Confucius enlightened Yan again and replied: "I know that it is false for you to ask for leave to go home, but in fact I think I am old and confused, and I don't want to learn from me anymore." Think about it: I said that 3823 is right, you lose, but you lose a crown; If I say that 3824 is right, and he loses, it is a human life! Do you say that the crown is important or human life is important? Yan Hui suddenly realized, "plopped" in front of Confucius, and said: "The teacher is righteous and trivial, and the students still think that the teacher is not sober because of his age." The students were ashamed! Since then, no matter where Confucius went, Yan Hui never left him.
