游子吟

[唐]孟 郊

慈母手中線，游子身上衣。

臨行密密縫，意恐遲遲歸。

誰言寸草心，報得三春暉。

唐代詩人孟郊的名詩《游子吟》千古流傳，因為它傳頌的是人類亙古不變的親情——母愛。母愛是一種奇妙的愛，是用任何語言都無法比擬的。母愛被天使凈化，直接在母親的靈魂中流動。母愛是有營養(yǎng)的，它能滋養(yǎng)我們的靈魂。母愛在我們心中烙上烙印，即使母親的話沒有說出來。

愛子心無盡，歸家喜及辰。百善孝為先，讀文共感恩。

Tao Kans mother cut her hair and returned the salted fish

Tao Kan was a famous military general in the third to the fourth century. Tao lost his father as a young child. He and his mother lived a humble life， but his mother taught him to treat friends generously and not to put too much value on money. According to A New Account of the Tales of the World （《世說新語》）， a scholar named Fan Kui once passed through Taos hometown and asked for a nights stay at their home. Fan was well?known in government and Tao wanted to make his acquaintance， but didnt have enough food and room to treat all his servants and horses. At this time， Taos mother told Tao to take in the entourage， cut off her long hair and sold it for money to buy food. She tore down several wood pillars from her house to chop into firewood， and even cut up her grass mats to feed Fans horses. Fan was deeply moved by their hospitality and impressed by Taos talents. Later， Fan recommended him to the local government， and Tao became an official.

But the story of Taos mother didnt end. As a low?ranked official， Tao was assigned to take charge of the fisheries. Once， he sent a jar of salted fish to his mother， but to his surprise， his mother returned it with a letter saying， “As you are an official， sending me public property will do me no good， but just worry me.” Tao was ashamed， and was determined to be an upright official in the future.
