What do children have in common in the education of commandments and oracles?

The Ten Commandments and Letters from Home are both famous letters from home in China's traditional culture, aiming at educating future generations on how to cultivate self-cultivation. Their educational ideas and contents have many similarities:

1.** Attach importance to moral cultivation * *: Both articles emphasize the importance of moral cultivation. The Ten Commandments mentioned "keeping quiet to cultivate one's morality, and saving to cultivate one's morality", while The Book to Children also emphasized virtues such as thrift and integrity.

2.** Advocating indifference to fame and fortune * *: The book of exhortation says that "indifference can't make you clear your mind, and quietness can't be far away", and there may be similar contents in the book of Second Language, all of which are to educate children not to pursue material interests excessively, but to pursue higher ambitions.

3.** Emphasize the importance of learning * *: Both articles attach importance to learning. The Ten Commandments says that "a husband must study quietly before he can learn", and The Letter to Children also emphasizes the importance of knowledge for personal growth and contribution to the country.

4.** Cultivate will and sense of responsibility * *: Both encourage future generations to have a strong will and sense of responsibility, be brave in difficulties and forge ahead.

5.** Advocating frugal life * *: Both the Ten Commandments and the Letter to Children advocate frugal life as an important way to cultivate one's morality and prevent corruption.

6.** Emphasize that time is precious * *: The commandment book mentions that "years follow the times and intentions follow the days", which means to cherish time and seize it, which may also be reflected in children's books.

7.** Advocating peace of mind * *: Zhuge Liang mentioned in the Commandment that "nothing is far from peace" and emphasized the importance of peace of mind, which is also an important content of educating future generations.

These similarities reflect the basic ideas of family education and life philosophy in China's traditional culture. Even in modern society, these educational ideas still have important value and significance.
