Liang Family Motto (III)

There are five main spiritual orientations of the Liang family:

01. Exemplary education.

That is, to set a good example of character. Liang Qichao himself, including his fathers and grandfathers are y influenced by Confucianism, Confucianism advocates the gentleman, sage personality, Liang Qichao also used to cultivate his own body, he himself set an example, and often tell his children about their own behavior, subtle influence on their children.

02. Classical education.

The classics are the core of a nation's ideological and cultural values, and classical education includes reading, interpreting, understanding, and practicing. Classical ideas are used to guide children in dealing with the world and building up their moral character.

Liang Qichao attaches great importance to his children's study of classical culture. Not only did he teach himself personally, but he would also ask his tutors to teach his children specifically to make up for the modernization of school education.

03. Kindness education.

Most traditional Chinese families advocate strict fathers, but Liang Qichao was a loving father to his children. This loving kindness was expressed very clearly through a large number of letters to his children.

04. Sorrowful education.

The sense of sorrow is also an important part of Confucianism. Liang Qichao will be this realization throughout the children's education. He loved his children, but never spoiled them, but taught them to grow up in sorrow and frustration, so as to sharpen their will and personality.

05. Kung Fu Education.

Here is the kung fu of learning, including the methods, means, skills, time and so on. Liang Qichao asked his children to learn to "fierce fire boil" and "slow fire stew" - the former refers to the first stage of learning to fierce effort, study; the so-called " slow fire stew", the so-called "slow fire stew", the so-called "slow fire stew". The so-called "slow stewing" refers to the latter stage of learning to swim and swim, and to realize in detail. The two need to cycle through each other.

These five types of education are still very comprehensive and worth learning today.
