Zheng Banqiao's way of loving his children

Is it true that Yu only had a son when he was fifty-two years old? There is a reason not to love! However, love must be done in the right way. Even if you are playful and playful, you must be loyal and don't be impatient. I don't like raising birds in cages the most in my life. I want to entertain them, but they are in prison. Why do they have to bend the nature of things to suit my nature? As for dragonflies tied to hair and crabs tied with strings, they are only children's toys. He died in a matter of seconds. God ② also cares deeply, but we cannot understand the heart of God. How can all things be entrusted with their fate? I am not at home, and your son is in charge. It is necessary to cultivate his loyalty and drive away his cruel nature. He should not be tolerated and cherished as a child. Family members and children are all ordinary people in heaven and earth. They should be cherished as ordinary people and should not be allowed to be abused by my son. All fish dishes and fruit cakes should be distributed among all, so that everyone can play and jump. If my son is sitting down to eat a good meal, and his family members are standing at a distance, not even touching his lips or teeth, his parents will pity him and have no choice but to tell him to go away, wouldn't it be like cutting out his heart and gouging out his flesh!

Translation

I only had a son when I was fifty-two years old. How can I not love him? But you must have rules and methods to love your children, even if they are playing together. , we must also make him always remember that he should be loyal to others, be prudent in doing things, and not be impatient.

When I am not at home, your son will be under your control. The most important thing is to cultivate his loyal and kind feelings and eliminate his cruel and indifferent temperament. You cannot think that he is not your son and cannot be disciplined like your own son and temporarily indulge him. The children of servants at home are still people living in heaven and earth like us, and they should be loved and cared for equally. My son cannot bully and abuse them. Whenever food, fish, fruit, snacks, etc. are given to children, they should be distributed evenly to make the children jump with joy. If my son is allowed to sit down and eat delicious food, while the servants' children stand and watch from a distance, wanting to eat but not being able to eat even a little bit, their parents will definitely feel pity for their children when they see it, but they can't take it away. If there is no solution, we have to call the child away. Wouldn't it be as uncomfortable as cutting out the heart and flesh?

A brief comment

Zheng Banqiao, a great writer in the Qing Dynasty, arrived in the 52nd year of the Qing Dynasty. He had a son at the beginning of the year, and he naturally loved this son very much. However, he advocated, "If you love your son, you must follow the way." That is to say, you must pay attention to the propriety, methods and methods of loving your son.

Zheng Banqiao went to Weifang, Shandong Province to be the magistrate, and entrusted his son to his younger brother. His son is no longer around, but he still cares about his son's education all the time. In his letter to his younger brother, he clearly pointed out that he should educate his son to aspire to "be a good person with good reason", and regard "winning the imperial examination, becoming a Jinshi, and becoming an official" as "little things".

To this end, Zheng Banqiao set three rules for his son: First, he must be "loyal" and "driving away his cruel nature." He advocated cultivating "loyalty" from daily life, even in the process of playing with others. The second is to avoid the exaggerated style of ordinary "rich children" in study, and to learn from those "good children" who are academically successful despite their poor family background. The third is to learn to treat others equally, even for the children of servants at home, "you must take care of them as usual and don't let my children abuse them." Zheng Banqiao attaches great importance to cultivating children's good moral qualities. This is indeed a correct way to love children.

Parents are their children’s first and lifelong teachers. Improper education will have irreparable adverse effects on their children’s growth. "Following the way" is true love, not following the way is false love. Zheng Banqiao treats his children with strictness and love, and love with strictness. He "loves in his own way." It should be said that there are many aspects of his way of loving his children that are worthy of reference by future generations. Today, all those who love their children and all teachers who love top students should also draw lessons from Zheng's "love must be done in its own way." If moral education is neglected, "unworthy descendants" may be created.
