"Di Zi Gui" is a children's enlightenment book written by Li Yuxiu, a famous scholar and educator during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and a native of Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province. It is different from the widely circulated children's enlightenment book "The Three Character Classic". It is mainly a book that instructs children on how to behave. The book explains how to be filial to parents in family life, how to get along with brothers and sisters in harmony, how to be polite to others when going out, what to pay attention to in speech and behavior, what kind of friends to make, how to study, etc. Detailed guidance. Confucius's Confucianism is always present in the book. The first sentence of the general narration, "Disciples regulate the teachings of saints", indicates that the book comes from Confucius's teachings. Later, "First, filial piety and brotherhood, sincerely believe in universal love for all, and be kind and benevolent, and if you have enough strength, study literature." It is the abbreviation of Article 6 of the Xue Er chapter of "The Analects": "When a disciple enters, he will be filial, and when he goes out, he will be a younger brother, be sincere and trustworthy, love others universally, and be kind, and if he can do what he can, he will learn literature." Because Li Yuxiu studied the Four Books, most of the content in the book is from the "Four Books". And because "Disciples' Regulations" is aimed at educating children to learn how to be a good person, the book mostly uses the words "sincerity, integrity, The content of "cultivation of one's moral character", such as: "Don't talk lightly when you see something is not true; don't pass it lightly when you know something is true." This is the specific explanation of Confucius' saying in "The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo": "Listen to the Tao and explain it in vain, which is the abandonment of virtue." "When you are about to join someone, ask yourself first. If you don't want others to do it, do it as soon as possible." is a direct quote from Confucius's words in "The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan" "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." As for etiquette and how to read, etc. The contents are mostly adopted from the "Book of Rites Qu Lishang" in the "Book of Rites", one of the "Five Classics", and the content of Zhu Xi's "Zhu Zi Tong Meng Xu Zhi". The whole book is concise and concise, with only 1080 words in three words per sentence, but the content is extensive and profound. The most commonly used words in the book include "don't", "no", "for", "no" and other words to warn children, among which: "don't", 43, "no", 25, "for" 10, "no" 9, every word is like a kind-hearted elder earnestly telling the children what to do and what not to do; what is right, Something is wrong. Guide the children psychologically and behaviorally. The difference between "Di Zigui" and other widely circulated children's enlightenment books: "The Three Character Classic" contains a lot of common sense in life, history and other aspects of knowledge; "The Thousand Character Classic" is not only an enlightenment textbook for children, but also a teaching material. The "thousand characters" in it use 1,000 different Chinese characters extracted from the calligraphy works of the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi (994 practical characters, six characters are repeated), so it has been used by children in all dynasties to practice calligraphy and word recognition. "Hundred Family Surnames" is basically a catchy literacy textbook; "Young Learning Qionglin" introduces many words about local customs; "Longwen Whip Shadow" collects Guan Ning's cutting seats, There are widely circulated allusions such as Mao Sui stands out, Wang Xiang asks for carp, and a blessing in disguise can be called a collection of allusions. Different from these enlightenment textbooks that focus on the cultivation of children's knowledge, literacy, and calligraphy, "Disciples' Regulations" does not emphasize literary talent, allusions, or comprehensive knowledge. It focuses on the development of human abilities. Cultivate and prepare children to become qualified people when they grow up. In the late 1970s, because the country restored the college entrance examination system, people saw that knowledge brought profound changes to people's economic and social status, and made people realize that knowledge can change people's destiny. Therefore, when educating children, they are keen on cultivating and instilling knowledge, and want their children to pursue a high-quality life. But the ancients looked deeper and further. They saw that in addition to knowledge that can change people's destiny, they also saw that differences in life can bring rise, fall, honor and disgrace to people throughout their lives. Learning knowledge is important, but learning to be a human being is even more important, so what is more important is cultivating children’s ability to “be a human being”. For different people, knowledge changes their destiny, but the destiny of people after changing their destiny is different. Even people with the same level of knowledge have different destiny. For the same person, although knowledge changes his destiny, what happens next? What will be the fate after changing the fate? Therefore, what the ancients valued was not a child's fate in the first twenty or thirty years, but more importantly the child's fate throughout his life, the ups and downs, honors and disgrace of his life. Sometimes the choice between good times and bad times in life lies with you and how you behave. It is very important to learn how to be a good person. If you don’t know how to be a good person, you may go astray in life and become a bad person who harms society; you may become a villain who excludes and slanders others.
"It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people." Learning knowledge may have immediate results, but learning to be a human being will not. Moreover, in the process of a person's understanding of how to be a human being, he is also affected by the complex environment around him. It is a matter of cultivating the mind. The long-term process of cultivating righteousness. But its influence is profound and far-reaching. It not only affects a person's life, but also his way of life, outlook on life, and values ????can affect his descendants and the happiness of his descendants. There are only 360 sentences in the book "Disciples' Regulations", which coincides with the 360 ??days in a year in the lunar calendar. Maybe let the children follow one sentence a day, year after year, and follow the requirements of "Disciples' Regulations" over and over again. "Disciple Rules" is not only an enlightenment teaching material that guides children on how to behave, but also because its content is mostly taken from the "Four Books" of Confucian classics, it is also very beneficial to adults in self-cultivation. "Disciple Rules" is a book that can benefit people for life. It is closely related to a person's behavior and the happiness of a person's family. Every word and every sentence in the "Disciples' Regulations" is very important. It can be said that every word is precious. Every sentence contains the mystery of how to behave in the world. If people can follow the requirements of the "Disciples' Regulations" every word, the road of life will be better. It will be smoother, with fewer detours; family members will be more harmonious, with less noise and disputes, and life at home will be happier.
