Keep your ancestors true and be thrifty.
Teach your children and grandchildren to take the right path and read only about farming.
Wang Shizhen, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, has an ancestral couplet hanging in his home. Ancestors warned their descendants that their intentions were good.

Wealth is impermanent, boy. Don't forget poverty.
Sages can learn, but I read poetry.
It was written by Jiang Xinyu, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, and this godson was hung on both sides of the ancestral tablet for future generations to remember forever.
Wealth is impermanent As the saying goes, "wealth cannot exceed three generations", only good family education and family style can be relied on. Loyalty is a family heirloom, and poetry and books are passed down from generation to generation.
Ten thousand books are suitable for children.
In ten years, trees have sprung up from the storm.
This couplet was written by a top scholar in Zibo in Qing Dynasty.
The first part teaches reading, and the second part compares "ten years of trees" to "educating people".
Similar couplets were written by Tan in Qing Dynasty, "thousands of books is suitable for children, and thousands of chapters are covered by clouds";
With Huang Tingjian's poems as the first couplet and Mei Shi as the second couplet, "thousands of books can teach children and ten acres of land can be planted with pine";

The poor don't sell books, but raise their children to study.
The old man also grows bamboo to watch with others.
This pair of couplets is written by an honorable man.
Shanglian said that no matter how poor you are, you will not sell books and leave them to future generations.
The progress of human beings and the development of families are inseparable from reading, learning and acquiring knowledge. When a family encounters temporary difficulties, if they want to get out of the predicament, they can't be eager for quick success and instant benefit, especially they can't reduce their investment in education and give up their children's study. Otherwise, it will only fall into a vicious circle of getting poorer and less understanding and getting poorer and poorer. When families encounter difficulties, even if they are careful and frugal, they should increase investment in education so that future generations can receive a good education.
The second couplet says that bamboo should be planted when it is old and shown to others.
Scholars have given bamboo a symbolic meaning of humility, nobility and tenacity. "Old people still plant bamboo to see people" is to inspire people to keep a beautiful dusk, set an example, influence future generations and leave a beautiful scenery for the world.

In the late Qing Dynasty, He Zizhen's anthology "Fighting for Seats" combined with words to teach children.

Tired of worldly affairs, trying to cultivate one's morality.

Go through all the hardships to be a good person
