There is a discussion about "fetal disease" in Huangdi Neijing. Dade's "Daidai Li Ji" in Han Dynasty? Fu Bao made clear regulations on prenatal education: "The ancient prenatal education was the belly of the queen in July, but the room. Taishi holds the bronze imperial household left, and Taizai holds the bucket imperial household right. Compared with the March, if the queen's voice is not music, the teacher will say that she is not used to it; If the person who asks for a taste is not right, the Taizai leans against the bucket and says, "I dare not treat the prince. "
Is the mother recorded by Liu Xiang in Biography of Lienv Tairen? During pregnancy, "the eyes don't see evil colors, the ears don't listen to lewd voices, the mouth doesn't say bad words, and prenatal education can be done." That is to say, when Tairen is pregnant, her eyes don't look at evil things, her ears don't listen to fornication, and her mouth doesn't say arrogant words. This is the practice of prenatal education. "King Wen is born wise, and he who teaches too much knows everything. A gentleman says that he who teaches too much has the ability of prenatal education." Wen Tiansheng is very clever, "teach him at a glance", which is the result of Tairen prenatal education.
Jia Yi's New Book of Prenatal Education says: After pregnancy, Zhou Fei became a king, unable to stand limp, sit badly, laugh without making trouble, and never be jealous, which is also called prenatal education. "This means that when Zhou Chengwang's mother was pregnant, she stood like a station. She doesn't lean to one side when she stands, but she sits like one. She doesn't lean when she sits. She doesn't make any noise when she laughs, and she doesn't slack off when she lives alone. She doesn't curse when she is angry, and so on. She uses ethical norms to restrain her every move, so as to maintain a good influence on the fetus.
Sima Qian recorded in Historical Records that Zhou Wenwang's mother Tairen's prenatal education was very effective, and Zhou Wenwang was born smart. Wen Wang's grandson, who received prenatal education after birth, grew up with extraordinary intelligence. In this way, the royal family of Zhou Dynasty used prenatal education to train ideal successors from generation to generation.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yan Zhitui recorded the related contents in Family Instructions of Yan Family: The queen was pregnant for three months, and she was going to move out of the palace and let her live in another palace. Her eyes shouldn't see what she shouldn't see, her ears shouldn't listen to what she shouldn't listen to, and her music and taste should be controlled according to etiquette.
Tairen paid attention to the example of prenatal education when she was pregnant with Zhou Wenwang, which has always been regarded as a model of prenatal education. On this basis, she put forward the behavior during pregnancy, adoption and matters needing attention in daily life. If you are relieved of worries, it is forbidden to give birth indoors, avoid cold, keep warm with caution, and rest with bait to ensure the health of pregnant women, prevent fetal dysplasia, and prevent miscarriage, miscarriage and dystocia.
By the Han Dynasty, a large number of prenatal education contents appeared in various books, and the theory of prenatal education was initially formed. For example, Jia Yi in Han Dynasty has a special chapter on prenatal education in his new book. In Song Dynasty, Chen wrote an article on "Prenatal Education" in "Good Prescription". In the Qing Dynasty, Chen Menglei and others summarized the theory of prenatal education in the past dynasties and established it as "the door to raising unborn children". In the book Great Shu Tong written by Kang Youwei, a famous thinker in the late Qing Dynasty, there is also the idea of establishing a prenatal education center, cultivating intelligent offspring and improving the quality of the population.
To this end, the ancients also summed it up like this: "Xunzi must start from prenatal education and stop at primary school." Children don't lose at the starting line, starting from prenatal education. (Text/Cai Yi reading historical map/from the Internet)
