中国成语故事：负荆请罪

战国时期，廉颇是赵国有名的良将，他战功赫赫，被拜为上卿。而蔺相如“完璧归赵”有功，被封为上大夫，不久，又在秦王与赵王渑池相会时，因维护赵王尊严，也被提升为上卿，且位在廉颇之上。廉颇对此不服，扬言说：“我要是见了他，一定要羞辱他一番。” 蔺相如知道后，就有意不与廉颇会面。别人以为蔺相如害怕廉颇，廉颇为此很得意。可是蔺相如却说：“我哪里会怕廉将军？不过，现在秦国倒是有点怕我们赵国，这主要是因为有廉将军和我两个人在，如果我跟他互相攻击，那只能对秦国有益。我之所以避开廉将军，是以国事为重，把私人恩怨丢一边！” 这话传到了廉颇耳朵里，廉颇十分感动，便光着上身，背负荆杖，来到蔺相如家请罪。他羞愧地对蔺相如说：“我真是一个糊涂人，想不到你能这样地宽宏大量！”两个人终于结成誓同生死的朋友。
