Bow your head and do the right thing. "Shi Ji Zi Mao Xiu Shu" Zhang Juzheng's Family Instructions
In the spring of Bingzi, I didn't want to try it, but your brothers came to persuade me, saying It is not appropriate to frustrate your spirit. If you have no choice but to follow it, you will fall into disgrace. If your art is not good, why should you care about others? However, I am lucky enough to say: Heaven may want to accumulate it and make it big. I also hope that you will punish me for the shame of another defeat, and I will bow my head and take care of the wok. Little did he know that in one year, things would get worse and worse. The more excited you become, the more depressed you become.
Do you think you are insensitive? It is true that there are no young ones, but the long ones are ignorant. Is it because you are not able to do it well? I have heard that you keep your door closed all day long and never let go of the book. This is what he created. He must aim high and far, but be tired of doing both. This is called Chu and heading north! If you want to make progress, isn’t it difficult?
Translation
In the spring of the year Bingzi, I didn’t want you to take the exam, but several of your brothers came to persuade me, saying that I shouldn’t dampen your spirit, so I had no choice but to Reluctantly agree, and you will be frustrated. If you are not good at studying, what's the use of me complaining about you? But I happily said to myself: God is probably going to let you accumulate a lot. I also thought that you would remember the lesson of failure again and be willing to lower your head and abide by the rules. Who would have thought that in the past year, the more you write, the more you regress, and the more you are inspired, the more decadent you become.
Is it because your talent is not smart? He is probably not as smart as a child but very ignorant when he grows up. Are you not working hard enough? I heard that you study behind closed doors all day long without letting go of the book. But if your talents and academic achievements are average, you must be too high-minded and want to cover a wide range of topics and make yourself tired. This is the opposite! Isn’t it difficult to still make progress?
Biography
Zhang Juzheng (1525-1582), courtesy name Shuda, nickname Taiyue, and his childhood name Zhang Baigui, was a native of Jiangling, Huguang (now Jingzhou City, Hubei Province), and was also known as Zhang Jiangling. He was a politician and reformer in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the chief minister of the cabinet during the Wanli period. He assisted Emperor Wanli in creating the Wanli New Deal. He successively served as the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs and the bachelor of Dongge, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and the bachelor of Jianjidian. After Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, Zhang Juzheng replaced Gao Gong as his chief assistant. Ming Shenzong was young at that time, and Zhang Juzheng presided over the adjudication of all major military and political affairs. Zhang Juzheng served as governor for 10 years and implemented a series of reform measures. Even though they are thousands of miles away, they are implemented day and night, and the political system is awe-inspiring. Zhang Juzheng was also the only minister in the Ming Dynasty who was awarded the title of Taifu or Taishi during his lifetime. He is the author of "The Collection of Zhang Taiyue", "The Direct Interpretation of the Book of Books", "The Illustrated Commentary on Emperor Jian", etc.
This family motto is a letter written by Zhang Juzheng to his youngest son Maoxiu, which is intended to help his son summarize Yuan Gang who failed in the imperial examination. He believed that Yuan Gang, whose son failed the scientific examination twice, was because he was too ambitious, greedy for too much, and not dedicated to his efforts. Therefore, he educated his son based on his own experiences and lessons, and encouraged his son to work hard to correct his shortcomings in learning.
The son followed his father’s teachings and eventually won the top prize. It can be seen that if we are not down-to-earth and act within our capabilities when studying and doing things, but blindly aim high, it will be impossible to achieve success and we will inevitably take detours. This is the most useful inspiration this family motto has left us! Zhang Juzheng's famous sayings

The emperor's son and prince must first restrain themselves "Family Instruction" Li Shimin .
Taizong once said, "I have been on the throne for thirteen years. Outside I have no pleasure in sightseeing, but inside I have no pleasure in sight and sound." You were born into wealth and grew up in a deep palace. The husband, the emperor, the son and the prince must first restrain themselves.

The sages have a saying: Those who go against me are my teachers, and those who obey me are my thieves. We must pay attention to this.

Don't dare to indulge in singing and dancing girls. Those of you who were born into wealthy families and grew up in deep palaces and courtyards. As royal relatives, you must be strict with yourself. Every time you wear a piece of clothing, you must think of the hard work of the silkworm rearing woman; every time you eat a meal, you must be strict with yourself. Then you have to think of the difficulties faced by farmers. When listening to other people's words, you must think calmly and make correct judgments. You cannot act based on your own emotions.
I often handle various complicated government affairs personally, how dare I refuse because it is too hard work!
Don't laugh at other people's shortcomings, and don't be arrogant because you are better than others. Only in this way can you enjoy wealth forever and ensure a happy and smooth life. The sages once said that those who dare to offend me are my teachers, and those who blindly obey me are my enemies. Do you have to understand this sentence carefully?
Biography
Li Shimin (598-649), whose ancestral home was Longliangchengji (now Tianshui, Gansu), was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong. Li Shimin joined the army when he was young. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he served as Shangshu Ling and General Youwuhou. He was named Duke of Zhou of Qin and later King of Qin. He led his troops to pacify warlords such as Xue Rengao and Liu Wuzhou. During the establishment and unification process of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin joined the army at a young age. Zhongli made great military exploits. In the ninth year of Wude (626), Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and was established as the prince. He later ascended the throne and was named Zhenguan.
After Li Shimin became emperor, he governed the world with culture, opened up new territories, and accepted advice with an open mind, so that the people could rest and rest, and a situation of national peace and security emerged, creating the famous Zhenguan rule in Chinese history. It laid an important foundation for the subsequent prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years. Li Shimin loved literature and calligraphy, and his calligraphy treasures have been handed down from generation to generation.
Li Shimin's eldest son Li Chengqian was smart since he was a child. He was established as a prince when he was eight years old. When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty went to court, he often took him with him to let him learn how to handle government affairs. But when he grew up, he indulged in drinking and sex and neglected his job. After being discovered by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he decided to abolish his crown prince title. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was hesitant about opposing the crown prince. After discussing with his officials, he finally decided to make Li Zhi the crown prince.
Taizong stepped up his instruction to Prince Li Zhi at any time and at any time. During the meal, Taizong asked Li Zhi what kind of food each rice was made of and how that kind of food was grown. Li Zhi couldn't answer, so Taizong explained to him the hardships of farmers, saying: Only if you know the difficulties of farming and sympathize with farmers can you ensure such food. Taizong's other son, Li Ke, was a versatile scholar and was named a vassal king. Before leaving, Taizong personally wrote an inscription for him: You are a talented and virtuous relative of the emperor. You use etiquette as the principle of action and righteousness as the criterion for thinking about problems. Taizong was seriously ill, and he had a premonition that his time was short, so he carefully summarized the ruling experience of various dynasties in history, wrote twelve chapters of "Emperor's Model", and passed it on to Prince Li Zhi. In 649 AD, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty died of illness. Li Zhi succeeded to the throne and was known as Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty in history. During Li Zhi's reign, the Tang Dynasty's politics, economy, culture and other aspects experienced further development.
