The origin of family precepts

China paid attention to etiquette since ancient times, and the etiquette advocated by Confucius should be a mature etiquette system in ancient society, so the ancients proudly said that they came from a country of etiquette.

Confucianism is about an orderly life. People should learn honesty, shame, propriety and righteousness when they are young, so Kong Rong, the descendant of Confucius, will let his younger brother eat big pears. Mencius, a great scholar after Confucius, was strictly demanded by his mother since he was a child. In order to give Mencius a good learning environment, Meng Mu moved his family three times, which is a model of ancient family instruction and family style.

In order to get his son into a good school, Meng Mu changed the size three times without hesitation, that is, he wanted a preschool room. His understanding of a good learning environment is two thousand years earlier than that of today's people buying and renting preschool rooms.

Meng Mu didn't simply ask children to learn culture well and study abroad, but taught them to love the country, love China and aspire to serve the world from an early age.

Master Meng did not forget his mother's teachings and studied hard. Later, he really inherited the Confucian classics of Confucius and carried them forward. Mencius' propaganda made extraordinary contributions to Confucianism becoming the main spiritual pillar of successive dynasties.

Meng Mu's San Yun, Kong Rong's Li Rang and other ancient allusions are the learning models of China's ancient family precepts and the source of kindness of the Chinese nation since its birth.

By the Han Dynasty, being a civil servant had become a common practice. After Empress Wu Zetian became the champion of martial arts, ordinary parents inspired their children.

Learn martial arts from an early age and serve the country when you grow up. Mother-in-law tattooed the words "loyal to the country" on her son Yue Fei's back.

Yue Fei learned to join the army and made great contributions to the country's northern war.

China's family precepts add the spirit of "serving the country faithfully" and enrich the concepts of the country and the world. Those who have the conditions to study in private schools will learn from the classroom. A kind mother who has no conditions to study is the source of family education.

Our great leader, Chairman Mao, has benefited from the kindness and helpfulness of his loving mother since childhood. After studying in a private school, his patriotism was clearly demonstrated when he went to Changsha to study alone at the age of sixteen.

The Chinese nation is kind, and the family training style is full of righteousness, which has been passed down for 5 thousand years. Whenever the country is in danger, patriotism will be everywhere, all of which comes from the glorious tradition of family training and family style.

Wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent. This is the truth left by our ancestors, the inculcation of every great mother, and the national traditional spirit that every aspiring teenager should remember.
