The first thing to say is Mr. Ouyang Xiu's childhood anecdote. It is said that Ouyang Xiu, who was born in poverty, lost his father at the age of four, and the mother who raised her young son alone could not afford to study. In desperation, she used a reed pole as a pen to teach children to draw and read in the sand, and Ouyang Xiu was able to become a great man. Obviously, this is closely related to the educational experience that this mother insists on. This is also the touching part of the allusion, which shows that even without superior ignorance conditions, she can be educated with her heart.
Secondly, of course, it is the well-known tattoo of mother-in-law. Although Yue Fei was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, he was not mature enough to kill the enemy on the battlefield. However, in the face of the constant harassment of the border gold people, the enlightened and just mother-in-law encouraged her children to go to the battlefield to defend their country. In order to show her ardent expectations for her son, she directly tattooed the four characters of "loyal to the country" on Yue Fei's back. This kind of education on the level of national hatred and family hatred also reflects parents' deep understanding of themselves.
Although these two short historical allusions can't explain how great the two mothers are, making their children memorable historical figures is an affirmation of their hard work. In fact, as a way of education, the two allusions have their own characteristics, but as children, it is very rewarding to be taught by their mothers, whether from the knowledge, from the family, the country or the world.
