About this episode

涉谷是日本东京最繁华的地段商业之一,那儿有一个涉谷广场,广场上立着一尊小狗的铜像,人们称它为八公。 为什么人们要给一只小狗铸像呢? 1923年,八公在一个农场出生,被一名东京大学的教授上野英三郎收养。每天,八公陪主人一起到涉谷车站搭车,目送主人搭上火车上班后,就会在车站外等待到下午,等候主人下班回来在车站外重逢。 日复一日,车站附近的街坊邻里都认识了八公,而且特别喜欢他乖巧懂事的个性。直到1925年的某一天,上野教授没有在往常的时间回到涉谷车站。不知情的八公在车站外不吃不喝,等了三天三夜,却不知道主人已经因脑出血过世,所以不会回来了。 随着主人的离世,八公被寄养在不同的家庭,但忠心的八公却没有因此放弃。每天到了主人下班的时间,八公就会在涉谷车站外静静地等候,这样一等就是10年。最后,八公于1935年因癌症去世。 八公去世后,他的尸体被制成标本,摆放在国立科学博物馆,让人仰慕。 人们在涉谷车站外建立了八公的铜像,并为他举办隆重的葬礼。 八公最后与上野教授同葬于青山陵园,和主人永远在一起。 日本铁路局甚至以八公的名字为其中一条铁路线命名。

【三字经24】犬守夜,鸡司晨,苟不学,曷为人
【宝宝巴士国学儿歌·歌词】犬守夜,鸡司晨,苟不学,曷为人。蚕吐丝,蜂酿蜜,人不学,不如物。幼而学,壮而行,上致君,下。扬名声,显父母,光于前,裕于后。犬守夜,鸡司晨,苟不学,曷为人。蚕吐丝,蜂酿蜜,人不学,不如物。幼而学,壮而行,上致君,下。扬名声,显父母,光于前,裕于后。 参考译文狗在夜间会替人看守家门,鸡在早晨天亮时会报晓,如果不能用心学习,有何资格称人?春蚕辛苦吐丝,蜜蜂勤劳酿蜜,人如果不勤奋学习,还不如这些动物。幼年时期勤奋学习,长大学以致用,上能报效君主,下可造福百姓。这样既能声名远扬,父母也可以得到你的荣耀,不仅给祖先增添了光彩,也为后代留下 ... Show More
