What's the next sentence after sweeping the court?

Be filial to your son and be sincere to others.

Two sentences mean getting up at dawn, cleaning the courtyard and managing the family very diligently. A son should love his parents and treat others with sincerity, which is the basic requirement for dealing with people.

Get up at dawn and sweep the floor. From Zhu Bailu's "Zhu Zi's Motto of Managing the Family" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

From the perspective of family management, Family Instructions of Zhu Zi talks about many issues such as safety, hygiene, frugality, diet, marriage, ancestor worship, reading, education, money and wine, making friends, being an official, introspection and so on. The core is to make people become an aboveboard, knowledgeable, rigorous, tolerant, kind and noble person, which is also the consistent pursuit of Chinese culture.

Get up at dawn, sweep the courtyard, and be neat inside and outside.

When you are unconscious, you will rest. If you close the door, you will behave well.

Translation:

Get up at dawn every day. Sprinkle water to wet the ground inside and outside the courtroom, and then sweep the floor to make it clean and tidy.

Rest as soon as it gets dark. Check the door yourself and lock it.
