The story of family style and family instruction

Family style and family instruction stories include Meng Mu's Three Movements and Zeng Guofan's Family Instruction.

First, Meng Mu's three movements

Speaking of China's classic family story, the first thing that comes to mind is Meng Mu's three sports stories. Mencius' mother was called Meng Mu. Mencius lived near the cemetery when he was a child. Mencius learned some things like worship and played games to deal with funerals. His mother said, "This place is not suitable for children to live in." So he moved his family to the market, and Mencius learned some knowledge about business and slaughter. The mother thought again, "This place is still not suitable for children to live in."

I moved my family to Gong Xue. Mencius learned the etiquette of bowing forward and backward in the imperial court. Meng Mu said, "This is where children live." Settle here. Mencius learned six arts when he grew up and gained the reputation of a great scholar. This gentleman thinks this is the result of Meng Mu's gradual enlightenment.
