Here are three traditional Chinese stories. They are all interesting and educational.

In the Warring States period, the State of Qin had a fight with the State of Zhao. Some talented people were needed to ask for help from the State of Chu. Then Mao Sui—the man who believed he was the right person for this task came and recommended himself. And he made the king of Chu send the army to help them defeat the Qin's army successfully. Zhao was safe. From then on, Mao Sui became a well-known hero of the state. Everyone respected him a lot.
One day, Shang Yang put a thin wooden pole at the south gate of the capital of Qin. He promised to give 10 gold pieces to anyone who could move it to the north gate. It was such a simple job that all people thought Shang was joking. Then he added 40 more gold pieces. A man moved it and he really got 50 gold pieces. After that, the people of Qin believed Shang was a man of his word. So they all followed Shang's new laws later.
Wang Xizhi was one of the most famous calligraphers during the Eastern Jin dynasty of ancient China. When he was very young, he practised his art every day and never stopped. Because of his achievements, he has been honoured as one of China's sages of calligraphy.
Once, an engraver(雕刻师) cut the wood on which Wang Xizhi had written, but failed to scrape the writing off. Then the engraver found the ink had penetrated(穿过;进入;渗透) one centimetre into the wood. Now "Ru Mu San Fen" is often used to express sharp ideas or useful views. It is very popular among people.
