Famous Story
Wei Xiang During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Xiang was a native of Jianwei in the State of Wei. He was extremely filial to his mother. His mother didn't like to drink the water from the riverside, thinking it was not clean, and she would only drink the water from the middle of the river. So Wei Xiang rowed a boat to the middle of the river to fetch water. However, the current was very rapid. Suddenly, a rock emerged from the river, and the boat then had something to rely on. People at that time believed that this was caused by the induction of his filial piety.
