负荆请罪
Fù Jīng Qǐngzuì
战国时期赵国很弱小，总是被强大的秦国欺负。当时，赵国有个叫蔺相如的人很机智也很勇敢，他代表赵国与秦国交涉时为赵国争回了不少面子。赵王看他有这么大本领，就封了他一个很大的官。而这却气坏了赵国的大将军廉颇，他想：我为赵国打了那么多次仗，而蔺相如就说了几句话，有什么了不起的，地位居然比我还高！他越想越不服气，并扬言要让蔺相如当面难堪。这些话传到了蔺相如的耳朵里，他以后碰到廉颇就多次退让躲避。可廉颇的手下人却越来越嚣张，于是，有人就问蔺相如是不是害怕廉颇。蔺相如笑着说："我连秦王都不害怕，怎么会害怕廉将军呢？秦国之所以不攻打赵国，就是因为赵国现在文武官员很团结，我如果跟廉将军闹矛盾，这样不是给了秦国一个好机会攻打赵国吗？又怎么能让国家安定呢？与国家比起来，个人的面子算得了什么呢！"听到这番话，廉颇羞愧极了。他脱掉上衣，露着肩膀，背着一根荆条，直奔蔺相如的家。廉颇跪在地上，把荆条高高举起，请蔺相如鞭打自己。蔺相如连忙把荆条扔在地上，又把廉颇扶起。从此，两人成为了好朋友，一文一武同心协力效忠国家。秦国因此也更不敢欺负赵国了。
In the period of the Warring States, the Sate of Zhao was weak and oppressed by the State of Qin, the strongest power among all states. At the time there was a man in the State of Zhao named Lin Xiangru, who was wise and courageous. He fought hard for the dignity of his state when he participated in the negotiation with Qin as a diplomatic envoy. The king of Zhao gave him a position of authority due to his excellent contributions, which annoyed the general Lian Po, who thought defiantly: "I have fought in so many battles to defend the state. Compared with my feats, Lin Xiangru's work of simply a few words amounts to nothing at all. Why should he take a position higher than me?" The more he thought about it, the more he got irritated. He said in public that he would disgrace Lin Xiangru in person. Lian Po's words reached Lin Xiangru's ears, who then avoided meeting Lian Po on purpose. However, the men of Lian Po became more aggressive and audacious. When people asked Lin Xiangru whether he was afraid of Lian Po, he answered with a smile: "How am I supposed to fear General Lian Po when I am not afraid of the king of Qin? It is because of the unity among the officials of Zhao that Qin can find no opportunity to attack our state. If I get into conflict with General Lian Po, it would allow opportunity for the Qin to wage their attack, and our state would be in great danger. I shouldn't sacrifice the future of my country for personal dignity." Later, what Lin Xiangru said was heard by Lian Po, who was greatly ashamed of himself. He took off his upper garments and went to Lin Xiangru's house with a rod, where he knelt down in front of Lin Xiangru, gave Lin the rod and begged a good lash as a punishment. Seeing this, Lin Xiangru threw away the rod immediately and raised Lian Po from his knees. From then on the two became intimate friends and contributed to their country with their individual strengths, one in battles, the other in foreign affairs, and Qin was terrified by the strengthening of Zhao even more.
