In ancient China, especially after the Western Han Emperor's "exclusive respect for Confucianism", people's ideal life mode was "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world" advocated by Confucianism. Among them, self-cultivation with the right heart was the premise to achieve the goal of keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. As the king of a country, the son of heaven is not only an advocate and promoter of Confucianism, but also a doer because of its demonstration and guidance to the country and society. For example, the way the royal family educates their children is an important reference model for officials and even the whole society to educate their children. Paying attention to moral quality education and how to be a man are the foundation of ancient education from ignorance to university education, and royal children are no exception. In the article "What kind of education should the ancient emperor receive from childhood", the author has pointed out that the emperor should learn Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics before he ascended the throne, from which he understood the importance of virtue, how to cultivate one's morality, how to be benevolent to the monarch, how to govern the people and how to love the people. Those wise men in history attach great importance to educating their children, and even participate in education themselves. Taking Emperor Taizong and Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty as examples, this paper talks about how the ancient Ming emperors educated their children. Li Shimin, the father of Zhenguan, is one of the greatest emperors in the history of China. He not only modestly ruled the world with teachable things, but also attached great importance to the education of his children. He often told the princes that he had been strict with himself for more than ten years since he became king. "He never enjoys traveling outside, but enjoys the music inside." He always inspects the state affairs in person and does not relax himself because of fatigue. He believes that "a person's foundation is only in Germany, why should he be proud of it?" Therefore, he warned the princes who grew up in wealth to learn to control their own selfish desires, know how to control themselves and do more good deeds. He also warned the princes that if they didn't listen to advice, lacked virtue and violated etiquette laws and regulations, they would be punished by criminal law. Being the emperor's father at that time couldn't help. Emperor Taizong also taught his children to cherish property and not to be extravagant. He wrote in the article "Quit the Royal Family": "Every time you wear a dress, you pity the silkworm girl; Eat every meal and watch. " Because a little thread, a meal, and a meal are all the fruits of the hard work of the people. One year before his death, Emperor Taizong also reviewed his mistakes in these aspects, hoping that Prince Li Zhi would not follow suit. In order to better cultivate one's morality and raise one's gender, in the seventh year of Zhenguan (AD 633), Emperor Taizong ordered Wei Zhi, the minister, to distribute the book "Records of Good and Evil of Ancient Emperors" to his children, asking them to "put it on the right and take it as the basis". Taking history as a mirror, Emperor Taizong hoped that his children could pay more attention to moral cultivation and become real sages. Another great emperor in the history of China, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, was also very strict in educating future generations. He taught his descendants to take part in sacrifices, hunting, patrolling and going out to war through words and deeds. School is the basic way for Kangxi to educate his descendants. Customized by Kangxi, the prince and grandson began to receive education at the age of 6. He personally selected teachers for governors, mainly teaching Confucian classics; Manchu teachers teach Manchu and Mongolian ancient texts as well as bow and arrow riding and shooting skills. Kangxi once said to his ministers, "I often think of the important tasks entrusted by my ancestors. The education of the prince should be grasped early and managed early, and dare not neglect it. Get up before dawn, personally check and supervise the schoolwork, and the Prince of the East Palace and all the ministers go to the temple to recite the scriptures one by one. As for the sunset, let them learn Chinese characters, practice shooting and talk late into the night. There is not a day from beginning of spring to the end of the year. " As for Kangxi's way of educating children, Bai Jin, a French missionary, truthfully reported to Louis XIV, the French emperor: Emperor China educated the prince with a model of fatherly love, which is admirable. The emperor of China paid special attention to the moral education of the vassals, and tried to carry out various trainings commensurate with their status, teaching them classics, poetry, calligraphy and painting, music, geometry, astronomy, riding and shooting, swimming, firearms and so on. Emperor Kangxi once wrote a book "College Training" for teaching children, which has a wide range of contents, such as sincerely respecting the elderly, filial piety to parents, and never forgetting the roots; Study and research should be diligent, open-minded and persistent; Be sincere and kind in doing things; Life requires an honest and clean life, thrift, overcoming bad habits, not indulging in debauchery, and not being lazy. When it comes to learning from the ancient emperors' ways of governing the country, the governors are required to read the classics, and the responsibility of governing the people is to read Mencius. There are such words in it: "I never dare to underestimate people and say that they are ignorant; It makes sense, I am the Kingdom of Ghana. " "There are many adults who can start their own businesses." "Respect is straightforward, and I would like to start from the end." "The center of serving people with virtue is pleasing and sincere." "Benevolent people take all things as one, and compassion is everywhere." "I am happy and kind, and I am angry and evil." "Pitch is not guilty, remember. "... under such strict education, most of Kangxi's children and grandchildren are literate and martial, especially the two outstanding emperors after him: Yong Zhengdi, with outstanding achievements and superior knowledge; The elegant and personable Emperor Qianlong called himself "Emperor Shiquan". It is the foundation of the "prosperous period of Kangxi" that laid the foundation for more than 200 years in the Qing Dynasty. However, the educational results of Emperor Taizong are not satisfactory. Among the 14 sons of Emperor Taizong, except for three who died young, 1 who succeeded to the throne and 1 who died well, the rest did not get a good result for various reasons. This made Emperor Taizong "ashamed of God, ashamed of the ground, and knowing how to recover He Yun", and he couldn't help crying for it. The author of the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty talked about the philosophers of Taizong and also sighed: "The sons are princes, and the rocks guard the city. Pride, extravagance and debauchery, and you are nameless! "The fundamental reason is the lack of strong supervision, supervision and relative relaxation of royal education in the Tang Dynasty, and the requirements of Emperor Kangxi in this respect are much stricter and more customized. Fortunately, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, who succeeded to the throne, was deeply influenced by his father. He is a kind, low-key, caring man, and his grandson Li Longji once again created the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
