Mencius' mother is famous for choosing a good learning environment for Mencius, so she can be said to be a successful educator. However, few people know Confucius' mother Yan's good intentions in Confucius education. We know that Confucius was born in the "wild intercourse" with his parents, which is not so glorious in traditional Confucian ethics. Therefore, it is very interesting for Meng Mu to become a moral model of traditional society. If you really want to talk about success or failure, Confucius' mother is obviously the most qualified.

Meng Mu is a symbol in traditional society, but today, this symbol has been abused. Over the years, there have been many names such as "Modern Meng Mu", a private school named "Meng Mu Hall", and even a wide discussion about "setting Meng Mu's birthday as Mother's Day".

When Confucius was three years old, his mother Yan Zhizai took him to settle in Qufu Que, the capital of Lu. Every time she offered sacrifices, she would invite Confucius to visit. After Confucius was five years old, his mother taught him and five other children to learn writing, arithmetic and singing, as well as manners and ceremonies.

Therefore, "Historical Records Confucius Family" wrote: "Confucius is a child play, and the military is forbidden to make rituals." Beans are ancient wooden sacrificial vessels for ancestors. Beans are square and round, which shows that Confucius knew how to imitate adults and learn manners when playing children's games.

Because of tradition, especially the three moves and the tattooing of mother-in-law, the mother's surname is Yan, but because Confucius' father and mother are not married, Kong Ma is no longer called Kong Ma.
