Write a few words praising Mencius' mother.
Mencius is the second master of Confucianism in the history of China. When Mencius was three years old, his father died unfortunately, and his mother took full responsibility for raising and educating Mencius. Meng Mu never slackened off Mencius for decades from the aspects of prudence, inspiration, moral integrity, hard study, and even making promises and making money. In the end, Mencius became a great thinker and educator. In history, the story of Meng Mu's godson has been spread through the ages because of the influence of Mencius. For example, Han Ying's Biography of Han Poetry, Liu Xiang's Biography of Women, Ban Zhao's Ode to Meng Mu, Zuo Fen's Zan to Meng Mu, and Three Amethyst in the Southern Song Dynasty all recorded or described the classic story of "Meng Mu chose his neighbor not to learn and broke the loom" from different angles. I. Perspective of Meng Mu's Family Education View For thousands of years, countless educators and scholars have made a profound study of Meng Mu's family education thought and summed up many thought-provoking experiences. As we all know, Confucius is the originator of family education, and he never dotes on his son's education. He used enlightening methods to guide, prompt and guide his son, so that he could understand the truth, consciously learn poetry etiquette and become a cultured person. Obviously, this China's greatest thinker and educator in ancient times, his educational thought about family environment, made future generations think deeply and admire. Meng Mu's education of Mencius, to a great extent, shows that Confucius' family education thought has a great influence on Meng Mu, and makes her deeply realize that the living environment around children has a great influence on their growth. Therefore, Meng Mu moved from the cemetery, the market and the school three times. The purpose is to create a good growth environment for Mencius, so that Mencius can be influenced by etiquette and habits, and develop an honest character and a tenacious and hardworking spirit of studying. Of course, this view of Meng Mu can be regarded as the continuous improvement of Confucius' environmental education thought. It is indeed reasonable to look at Meng Mu's environmental education thought from the perspective of modern society. Because in the process of a person's growth, the social and geographical environment under certain conditions plays a decisive role in his effective growth. Therefore, it is understandable that parents in society now "choose geothermal energy" and "choose schools". They all want to choose a good living environment and learning environment for their children in order to realize their educational vision for their children. The essence of ancient environmental education, such as "near Zhu Zhechi, near Mexico, people are black", "dye the sky as pale and yellow as yellow", "white sand is in nirvana, black with it" and "bitter fleabane, not self-supporting", fundamentally embodies the important role of environmental education in human growth. (II) Enlightenment Education of Early Education Thought Among the numerous ancient traditional education thoughts, Meng Mu is a typical representative of early education, and she knows the importance of "prenatal education". "The Biography of Han Poetry" contains a passage she said: "I am pregnant, and it is also prenatal education to sit still and not eat." In fact, during the mother's pregnancy, the fetus is already an independent life. In a good environment, it is natural to communicate with your mother and understand her emotions. Therefore, a mother's calm mood and peaceful attitude will inevitably give her children countless benign messages, thus affecting her intelligence and good personality. This is the direct reason why people attach great importance to prenatal education in today's society, and it is also the reason why people strengthen music education and fitness education. Meng Mu's thought has important enlightenment to the continuous emergence of early education institutions in today's society and the full investment of family early education.
