Chapter 211 Between teachers and students

Two brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi once gave lectures in Luoyang.At that time, scholars from the Yellow River and Luoyang areas came to ask for advice one after another, so the school of Ercheng was also called Luo Xue. Among the students of Ercheng, there was a man named Yang Shi (word Zhongli). He had already won the Jinshi, and the court planned to transfer him to be an official, but he didn't go to the post. Meet Cheng Hao.When Cheng Hao learned about Yang Shi's study experience, he was very surprised.So the two talked about everything and were very happy.Later, when Yang Shi went back, Cheng Hao saw him off in person and bid farewell to each other.

Four years later, Cheng Hao passed away.When Yang Shi heard the news, he was very sad. He set up Cheng Hao's coffin at home, wept bitterly in front of his bedroom, and wrote letters to report the funeral to those who studied with him. When Yang Shi was 40 years old, he visited Cheng Yi in Luoyang. Seeing Cheng Yi sitting with his eyes closed, he didn't dare to wake him up, but stood there waiting, never leaving.When Cheng Yi woke up, there was already a foot of snow outside the door. Ercheng was respected by the students because he was tireless in imparting knowledge and teaching people all his life.Many of those who followed them became famous scholars later on.
