Motto refers to the motto written by the ancients and placed on the right side of the seat. It is the motto that people inspire, warn and remind themselves as a guide to action. Historically, many Chinese and foreign celebrities have their own "mottos". Almost all successful people in ancient and modern China and abroad have their own life motto-motto.
Explain in detail:
1. Write it on the right side of the seat as a warning and reminder. Lu Yanji said in the inscription "Selected Works of Cui Yuan" by Xiao Tong in the Southern Dynasties: "Brother Zhang was killed by others and by his hands, so he was pardoned. He pretended this inscription to guard himself and seek the right position, so he called it the inscription."
2. Generally speaking, it refers to words that can be used as aphorisms to encourage yourself. Chen Yi's poem "Stan Huai sues Su Hao, Xiao Lu and Xiao Shan": "The revolution is firm and will always be the motto." Faced with the difficulties of life, many young people put the famous saying of enlightenment: "People are born invincible, and there is no need to force success!" Motivate yourself is your motto.
Ming said:
Words describing facts, advantages, etc. On utensils, tablets, etc. ; Words that spur and encourage yourself. Ancient words carved on objects to warn themselves or show their merits. This kind of writing is generally rhyming. The first layer of inscriptions, such as the epitaph of Liu Zihou by Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, the epitaph of Sanhuaitang by Su Shi, a literary master in the Song Dynasty, and the epitaph of Xu Jun in Hailing County, Taizhou by Wang Anshi, etc.
All fall into this category. These classic inscriptions not only add charm to China's ancient prose with their unique literary forms, but also touch countless future generations with their simple language and deep feelings.
The inscription with the second meaning, that is, the inscription of "encouraging yourself to speak", which is what we usually call "motto", has its own genre, characters or couplets, and its characters are long and short, which plays the role of inspiring self-cultivation and urging the police to save the province. According to "Southern History", Wu Jie, a famous scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, "Those who are good at reading history, remember the past, and record it and decide on the right seat. After a long time, the walls are full of proverbs. " This may be the early source of relevant aphorisms seen in official history.
