There is a reason why this saying has been able to be passed down from ancient times to the present day.

This quote is from "Zengguang Xianwen" (增广贤文), and since ancient times there have been things like strict fathers having many filial sons,

Su Shi's three greats is a wonderful allusion. Su Shi and his younger brother Su Zhe were both raised by their father Su Xun in the midst of his strict supervision and education, and both of them grew up reading ancient poems under their father's leadership. Not only in terms of learning, in teaching and life on the father also educated good, no matter in the two brothers for the official or was deposed to exile,

They two always show a literati should have the appearance, everywhere for the joy, living in the temple of the high is worried about its people, in the far reaches of the river and lake is worried about its king, in the treatment of parents is famous filial son.

There are countless stories of such a strict father being a filial son, although not everyone is rich and famous, but there is no doubt that their lives are respected and admired.

The mother spoiled the child, so that the child grows into a giant baby is not a few instances, the ancient royal relatives of the child from childhood to live in the mother held in the heart of the day, pampered, pampered, will not suffer a little harm. And it is this lack of discipline, let them in the future to leave the care of parents, the family shelter will be extraordinarily miserable, many of them are difficult to achieve greatness.
