Economy has been the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times. Which book does self-cultivation come from?

Quiet to cultivate one's morality, frugal to cultivate one's morality. From Zhuge Liang's Book of Commandments: "A gentleman's trip is quiet and self-cultivation, frugal and self-cultivation, and indifferent." Refers to quiet to cultivate one's morality, frugality to cultivate one's morality.

Zhuge Liang did his best to die, because he worked for Shu, so he didn't have much time to educate his son Zhuge Zhan, so he wrote the Commandment to his eight-year-old son to educate him to be honest, serve the country and be a useful person in the future. The impact on young people is still great.

Appreciation of Ten Commandments

In the article, Zhuge Liang educated his son to be "indifferent" and "quiet", encouraged his son to study hard and inspire himself, and made great efforts from his indifferent and quiet cultivation. He said, "If you study quietly, you have to study. If you don't learn, you won't have a wide range of talents. If you have no ambition, you have no chance to learn. "

This means that without stability and tranquility, you can't study hard for a long time to realize your lofty ideals. To learn real knowledge, you must let your body and mind study and discuss in peace, and people's talents are accumulated from continuous learning; You can't grow and develop your talents without hard work, and you can't succeed in your studies without firm will. Zhuge Liang educated his son not to be impetuous and behave absurdly.

In the second half of the letter, he taught his son in a fatherly tone: if the young don't work hard, the old will be sad. This seems like a cliche, but it was taught by a loving father to his son. Every word is the truth in his heart and the summary of his life, so it is especially cherished.

This book of commandments not only expounds the ways and methods of self-cultivation, but also points out the relationship between determination and learning. It not only explains the importance of tranquility and indifference, but also points out the harm of indulgence, neglect and extreme impatience. Zhuge Liang is not only strict with his son in general principles, but also shows subtle concern for his children in some specific matters.
