Those who lead a sharp life are the most prone to corruption. If there is, my father and brother should be worried, not happy. We must always add simple bindings to familiarize ourselves with Confucian classics, be generous and respectful, and don't let those superficial people swim around. From then on, for ten years, your interests became self-contained. Otherwise, it is not the only thing to worry about. I said this, and so is the medicine stone of later generations. We should be careful and not regret it.
Lu You's Family Instructions Translation:
Smart children are the easiest to learn bad. If this happens, the elders should regard it as a concern, not a happy thing. We should always restrain and discipline them, let them read Confucian classics, learn to be tolerant, kind, respectful and cautious, and not associate with frivolous and superficial people.
In this way, their wishes and interests will naturally develop after more than ten years. Otherwise, there won't be only one thing to worry about. These words are good treatment for young people. Be careful with them and don't regret it.

Comments on Lu You Family Instructions;
Lu You warned his son in this family precept: Don't be greedy. There can be no corrupt officials or greedy people. Teaching children not to be greedy is a consistent idea in Lu You's family education.
At the age of seventy-six, he was forced to sell his usual wine glasses because of his poor family, but when he went to work in Jizhou, he still taught his son Zilong to be upright and self-controlled. "Every dollar is clear." He is also a notoriously tough guy. "My husband is poor and divided, and there is no threat of starvation." He would rather starve to death than go along with the shameless ruler. Lu You's godson is not greedy, his poor and happy way and his hard-core spirit are all worth learning and imitating by future generations!
