"It is not easy to think about a porridge and a meal; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to save material resources. " This famous saying in Zhu Zi's Family Instructions [1] by Zhu Bailu in the Ming Dynasty should be engraved in everyone's heart forever. "Looking at the country and home of the previous dynasty, it changed from diligence to extravagance." Li Shangyin, a graceful and restrained poet in the Tang Dynasty, not "graceful and restrained", but summed up the great significance of saving the country and the people in one sentence. Da ji, the favorite concubine of the Meat Forest Wine Pool, was laughed at, and a thousand silks of tears hurt Yin. Emperor Yang Di built the Grand Canal to Jiangdu to watch Qionghua, exhausted the people's resources to build a palace, and aroused 72 rebels to oppose the Wang 36 th Route; After the Western Empress of the Qing Dynasty, a meal cost several thousand taels of silver, which "measured China's material resources and won the favor of the country". How to keep the people from rebelling and the Qing Dynasty from dying?

"the country gains by frugality, and the country loses by extravagance." Thrift is not only beneficial to the country and family, but also closely related to personal gains and losses. For example, "frugality can make a family and frugality can make a living." Wang Anshi has a deeper understanding of this, and his motto "success after extravagance, both good and bad" should be the motto of many dignitaries. However, sometimes warning words can't overcome greed. Wang, Cheng, and Li Zhen are all leaders of arrogance and extravagance. If they can learn from Zhu Gekongming, a sage in Shu, and "be quiet and frugal", why did they end up like this? Similarly, "Biography of Empresses and Concubines of Ming Taizu" said: "Pride is born in luxury, and danger begins in smallness." Xu Rong in Qing Dynasty said: "The temples in the street are dilapidated, and half of them are extravagant people." They all point out the harm of extravagance and waste and the importance of thrift from the opposite side.

An English proverb often used by Queen Elizabeth II is "Save the penny and the pound will come". Every night, she will personally put out the lights in the halls and corridors of Buckingham Palace, and she insists that all toothpaste used by the royal family should be squeezed. Japan's Toyota Company, known as "there is always a road, and there must be a Toyota car in the road", started from bit by bit in cost management. Work gloves are broken and need to be replaced one by one. If office paper is used in the front, it needs to be used in the back. Put a brick in the water tank of the toilet to save water. One is the respect of the country, and the other is a world-famous multinational company. It is amazing that the awareness of saving is so strong.
