Ancient for modern use. Binzhou Du family's cultural education out of the Ming and Qing dynasties 12 jinshi, outstanding in the country; forged a large number of just martyrs, Confucian loyal ministers; cultivated the emperor. In addition to the traditional, ****ual inculcation of ideas, understanding their unique culture, people today may be enlightened to do things as an official.

First of all, the first key point of Du's culture is "correct heart". Zheng Xin is the Confucian moral cultivation of the main purpose, is the main body of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. What Confucianism says is the correct heart, talking about the rule of the world, the standard is benevolence and righteousness, and the intention is to serve the public. The correct heart of Buddhism is to make the heart clear and to rule the body; the correct heart of Taoism is to "refine the heart". The standard of correcting the heart in Buddhism and Taoism is to cleanse and filter the heart. The most important characteristic of Du's culture is to take Confucianism as the core, use as a norm, and accept the essence of Shidao thought as a supplement. Specifically speaking, the essence of Du's culture is to correct the heart of Confucianism's moral cultivation as an outline, to cultivate the body with Taoism, to rule the mind with Buddhism, to rule the world with Confucianism, and to invent and practice the harmonious way of the three religions and one way. Through cultivating the body and cultivating the nature, "stopping at the highest good", achieving "internal sainthood and external kingship", and the way of "body and use of the skeleton", the way of "internal sainthood", "zhi zhi knowledge", "sincerity", and "Zheng Xin" are all the cultivation of the body and the mind. "Cultivation of the body is fundamental and basic; only through cultivation of the body can the "external king" of family, country, and world affairs be promoted, which is the use of the body. The pursuit of "for heaven and earth to establish the heart, for the people to establish life, for the past saints to succeed the great learning, for the world to open the peace" sense of responsibility and spirit of responsibility, to become a person of high moral character, wisdom source mellow, able to bear the family to serve the country.

Inheriting and carrying forward the traditional Chinese culture, the Du family continues to promote the family culture, and gradually formed its own characteristics. Du Shi, the eighth head of the family and the Minister of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, held the path of righteousness, promoted goodness and eliminated evil, was open-minded and upright throughout his life. At the risk of being dismissed from his post, he firmly resisted the establishment of a shrine for the eunuch Wei Zhongxian in Jiangxi. On his way back to his hometown, he passed through Huimin County and met the coffin of Yuan Huazhong, one of the "Six Gentlemen" who was persecuted to death by Wei Zhongxian, and he insisted on paying tribute to him in defiance of the power. The first grandson of Du Shi, Du Xian, carried forward the legacy of his ancestor, he was diligent in government and loved the people, just law enforcement, because the river was not ruled, he spoke frankly and submitted a petition, Chen river management strategy, and personally supervised the river affairs in the river embankment, and the local people named this embankment as "Dugong embankment". Du Tripod, the grandson of Xiaoyi, was a man of righteousness. When he served as the governor of Xiangyang, his political performance was so outstanding that the local people built a "Jiyutang" ancestral hall for him and set up a seat for his worship. When he was the governor of Shangshi Prefecture, he bought wheat seeds out of his own pocket and urged the people to plant wheat, which the people called "Dugong wheat". Tripod's grandson, Du received the father of the field of Du 堮, three dynasties, a loyal official, Xianfeng Emperor evaluation of his "planting character square, the foundation of learning, from the public night and day, to encourage the Qing diligence." After his death, he was promoted to the university degree, posthumous title "Wen Duan".

Secondly, the essence of Du culture is education. Du's education emphasizes both academics and morals. Du Shi in today's Du Shuitian former residence opened the "Jingming Mountain Room", for the children to hide books for reading. Du Shi also purchased the famous land "Wolvodai" in the city, planted pines and cypresses, built a corridor house, and built a family private school for his children to study. And use the time of mother's worry, initiated the genealogy of the Du family tree line, creating the first Du compilation of genealogy, used to educate future generations. Du, who was a "scholarly and elegant man with no vulgarity in his speech", admonished the clan members, "Do not take the fact that the clan has a large number of members as a special feature, but take pride as a cause for concern. Each one should cultivate his own body, and each one should do his own work; the father should teach his son, and the elder brother should encourage his younger brother." Du Tripod played a unique role in the inheritance of the culture of the Du family, and his education of his children was the first to take the lead, and he was the first to discipline himself. From childhood, he was well educated by his mother and abided by the behavioral norms of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. His son Du Tongguang not only attach importance to family education, but also enthusiastic about public welfare, its educational ideas to the community, he invested and participated in the Binzhou City, the first government-run school "Peifeng College" construction and management of the Qing dynasty in the middle and late in the prosperity of culture and education in Binzhou has been the first of its merit. His educational ideas and theories of education in the inheritance of the national traditional education "children should learn" at the same time, put forward the "children of children, know love and respect, the beginning of the family state end of the four seas," moral education as the first education concept. Focusing on the children's early education, the first moral education, even the usual daily activities, games and play in the "to see their love and respect for the good, not to lose the ears of the child". Advocating "teach by example and teach by word" education method, where the education of the child to do, parents must first do, to their own practical actions to influence the inculcation. As parents, they should take the lead in their children's work and practice filial piety, fraternal duty, loyalty and faith. Realize the good will of "doing good descending of Baixiang, a family of Shunde". Clearly put forward the "learning is excellent, not excellent is not, excellent also do not have to serve," "officials can not do, books can not not read", "do not suffer from no position, suffering so that the noble goal of life. So reading, is to "so seek the source of its heart, and get its way to the family and the world", to grow "into the people, do their duty to serve the country," the talent and conduct. At the same time, educate people to adhere to the "lifelong learning, lifelong education" of the forward-looking, not only their own lifelong learning, but also educate their children for life.
