It is a mistake to raise or not to teach your father. Now many people understand that it is your father's fault to raise children, but they have not received a good education. This is just our one-sided understanding now. In fact, the true meaning of this sentence is not like this, because if you look at a sentence, you must combine it with the background of the times.

For example, the San Zi Jing era is a typical patriarchal society. At that time, men were responsible for farming to earn money to support their families, and women were responsible for bringing up children. Therefore, men are responsible for the family's food and clothing, as well as their children's education in private schools. If children can't afford to go to private schools, fathers have the responsibility not to enjoy education.

Therefore, it is the father's responsibility to raise children but have no money to send them to school. It has nothing to do with the quality of education, because "teaching" here refers to educating others, not educating yourself, because China has always had the tradition of "teaching children instead of teaching themselves".

"Mencius? Li Lou records: Gong Sunchou asked Mencius, "Why did you give your son to someone else to teach? Mencius replied, "If a father educates his son and his son is disobedient, the father will be angry and punish his son, which will not only fail to achieve the purpose of education, but also hurt the feelings between father and son. "

That's the truth. It is easy to have conflicts between father and son, and even blame each other for the truth, so the best way is to change children to teach. It can be seen that it is biased to simply think that the father's responsibility is the poor education of his children.
