 Finger pain
Zeng Shen, a native of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, a proud disciple of Confucius, Zeng Zi was poor when he was a child, and often went into the mountains to collect firewood. One day, when a guest came to the house, the mother was overwhelmed and bit her finger with her teeth. Zeng Jian suddenly felt distressed, knowing that his mother was calling him, quickly returned home and knelt down to ask why. My mother said, "A guest suddenly arrived, and I bite my finger to expect you to come back," so she met the guests and treated them with courtesy. Later generations of Confucians honored him as a "sect saint".
