We have always had many tough guys with integrity in China, and today we will talk about Boyi and Shuqi.
In the "Records of History", it is recorded that Bo Yi and Shu Qi starved to death and did not eat Zhou Li. Boyi and Shuqi are the sons of the Lone Bamboo Monarch, who wants to pass the throne to Shuqi, but Shuqi refuses, and wants to give way to Boyi after his father's death, but Boyi is even more unwilling, and finally both brothers are humble and refuse to inherit the throne and run away. There was no way, the country could not be without a monarch for a day, and the people had to let Bo Yi's younger brother Shu Qi's brother inherit the throne.
Boyi
After the success of King Wu of Zhou, the whole world submitted to the Zhou Dynasty, but Boyi and Shuqi did not allow it. Because they felt that It was not filial piety for King Wu of Zhou not to be buried in time after his father's death, but to launch a war against king Wu, and that it was unkind for King Wu to attack and destroy his own monarch as a courtier, So Boyi and Shuqi did not allow King Wu of Zhou to be spared, and insisted on not eating the grain of the Zhou Dynasty. Bo Yi and Shu Qi lived in seclusion in Shouyang Mountain, relying only on wild vegetables and fruits to feed their hunger, but eventually starved to death on Shouyang Mountain.
Bo Yi and Shu Qi
Bo Yi and Shu Qi should admire the tough guy integrity of not eating Zhou Su, but the brothers are obstinate, loyal and filial, and cannot look at things with the perspective of development.
