Mencius' mother moved three times
That is, Monk's mother moved many times in order to choose a good environment to educate her children. The San Zi Jing said: "In the past, Meng Mu chose a neighbor." Meng Mu's three movements came from this. The word explanatory information means that Mencius' mother painstakingly moved to three places in order to give her children a really good educational environment. Now it is sometimes used to show that parents have good intentions and try their best to train their children.
Lin Zexu taught his son to become a talent.
Lin Zexu shocked the world with his feat of banning smoking and resisting Britain, and was praised for his strict family management and good upbringing.
He immediately took office as an official, left his wife and children at home, and usually educated his children to pass books through Hongyan. Feudal society attached great importance to reading, so did the so-called "everything is inferior, only reading is high". Lin zexu is not. On the one hand, the godson should "respect the teacher and attach importance to teaching"; On the other hand, it is well-intentioned, teaching children how to grow crops, instilling in their sons the idea that "farmers are the first and tallest people in the world" and urging them to "get up at dawn, study hard and cultivate crops".
Most ancient scholars "turned a deaf ear to things outside the window and read only sage books". Lin Zexu emphasized that "reading is expensive in the world", that is, the purpose of reading is to make contributions to society. He warned his son not to "read only dead books and have no experience" or "have deep experience and learn little", but to pay equal attention to reading and practice, expecting his son to have real talents and make more contributions to society.
Lin Zexu asked his children, like himself, to be honest and clean as an official, not to be burdened by fame and fortune, and never to take a penny from people or subordinates other than wealth. As a couplet he left at home said: "Children and grandchildren, like me, do what with money, and be virtuous and have more money, which will damage their ambitions;" My children and grandchildren are not as good as me. What do you do with money? Stupid people earn more money, which will increase their profits. "
