Interpretation of Zhu Xi's motto of managing the family
First, get up at dawn, sweep the court, and be clean inside and out.
Every word of the ancients has profound meaning and should not be underestimated. Although these three sentences seem like trivial things in daily life, the truth is profound. It tells us at least three things:
First, life should be regular. The ancients said: "Work at sunrise and rest at sunset", which is a natural law. We must obey and not go against nature, otherwise we will be punished.
Second, we should cultivate the habit of working hard and respectfully from an early age, which has a great influence on children's future habit formation.
Third, sweeping the court is not for outsiders to see, nor for people to clean. Your room should be cleaned whether anyone comes or not. A clean environment is not only good for your health, but also affects your mood.
Second, a porridge and a meal are hard to come by; It is difficult to keep thinking about material resources.
A porridge and a meal are hard to come by. "It was noon when weeding, and sweat dripped down the soil. Who knows that every grain of Chinese food is hard? " This poem is familiar to everyone.
People who live in the world should learn to be grateful, because our society is a mutual aid body, and everything we enjoy is the result of the work of others and society.
Some people may think that money is earned by themselves and they can spend it as they want. It is my own business not to waste waves, but if it is for the whole society and the whole earth, it is a waste of resources. Although you spend your own money, you waste your own blessings, so don't think that food is cheap, just waste it.
Third, you should plan ahead and not dig wells when you are thirsty.
It is necessary to repair the roof, doors and windows before it rains, and wait until the wind and rain come, so as not to suffer. Don't wait until you are thirsty to dig a well, it's too late.
Look at things with foresight and long-term planning, not just looking at the present. This is the correct attitude of being a man and doing things. For example, whether a child's test scores are important or a healthy ideological personality is important. If you only pay attention to your grades and don't pay attention to your child's attitude of being a man and doing things, this vision will be a bit short-sighted.
