One house does not sweep, why sweep the world

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Fan. He is knowledgeable and ambitious. When he was young, he studied hard and took the world as his responsibility. One day, his father's old friend Qin Xue came to see him. Seeing that the yard where he lives alone is overgrown with weeds and filthy, he said to him, "Why don't you clean the house and entertain the guests?" Chen Fan replied: "A gentleman is a man, he should sweep the world and settle in one room!" Qin Xue immediately asked, "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" Chen Fan was speechless and felt very reasonable. From then on, he began to pay attention to the little things around him and eventually became a famous minister.

Great things must start with small things. "Disciples' Rules" said: "The room is clear, the wall is clean, the number of cases is clean, and the pen and ink are correct. "It means that the study should be tidied up and the walls should be kept clean. When reading, pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other stationery on the desk should be placed neatly, not messy, and everything should be in order, so as to calm down and study.
