Original text
(Tang Dynasty) Taizong said to Fang Xuanling: "I am a man who needs knowledge. I am not determined to fight against the enemy." He is engaged in military affairs and has no time to study. The world is quiet these days, and he cannot hold books by himself and let others read them. The secret of politics and education is in the book. On the wall, things are troublesome. "It's not just words, but it's a big mistake to think about it when you are young."

Classical Chinese lt; gt; Translation
Xi Xiangyuan's inspiration. : Everyone is born the same, but if they are not educated well since childhood, their good nature will turn bad.
Therefore, people must learn to distinguish between good and evil from an early age in order to become a useful talent to society. . Translation: Everyone is good when they are born, but due to the different learning environment during the growth process, there are differences in temperament between good and bad.
Being stubborn is the way to change. Gui Yi Zhuan’s inspiration: Education is the foundation of a century-old plan.
If you want your children to become useful talents to society, you must always pay attention to their education, stay focused, and never relax. .Translation: If you are not educated well from childhood, your good nature will turn bad.
In order to prevent people from becoming bad, the most important way is to educate their children with concentration. Xi Meng’s mother chose a neighbor, her son did not learn, and lost his opportunity. Enlightenment: The reason why Mencius became a famous scholar in history is inseparable from his mother’s strict education.
As a child, you must understand this requirement in order to make yourself a useful talent. During the Warring States Period, Mencius's mother moved three times in order to provide Mencius with a good learning environment.
One time Mencius skipped school, and Meng’s mother cut the cloth from the loom to teach her son. Dou Yanshan’s Righteous Ways to Teach Five Sons to Famous Enlightenment: Mere education without good methods is not enough.
A good approach is to be strict and reasonable. Dou Yanshan's ability to make his five sons live in harmony, respect their parents, and achieve academic success is inseparable from his educational methods.
During the Five Dynasties, Dou Yujun, a native of Yanshan, was very good at educating his sons. The five sons he educated were all successful and became famous in the imperial examinations.
Failure to teach is the fault of the father, lax teaching, and laziness of the teacher. Enlightenment: A strict teacher produces a good disciple, and strict education is the inevitable way to success.
Although it is the duty of parents and teachers to have strict requirements on children, children should also understand the painstaking efforts of parents and teachers in order to consciously and strictly demand themselves. Translation: It is the father's fault to merely provide food and clothing for his children without educating them properly.
It’s just education, but if you don’t have strict requirements, you are lazy as a teacher. If a child does not learn, it is not appropriate. If a child does not learn, what should he do if he is old? Enlightenment: If a person does not study hard when he is young, he will always regret it when he grows up.
Every child should remember this sentence: "If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be sad." You should take advantage of the golden moment of your life. Translation: It is very inappropriate for children to refuse to study hard.
If a person does not study hard when he is young, he will neither understand the principles of life nor have knowledge when he is old. What good will he do? If jade is not carved, it will not become a tool. If a person does not learn, he will not know the meaning. Enlightenment: A person's path to becoming a talent is like carving jade. Before jade is polished and carved, there is no difference between jade and stone. The same is true for people. Only through hard training can one become a useful person. Translation: If jade is not polished and carved, it will not become an exquisite utensil; if a person does not learn, he will not understand etiquette and will not become a talent.
Being a Son of Man Fang Shaoshi, being a teacher and friend, learning etiquette Enlightenment: Learn to get close to good teachers and good friends, and learn a lot of useful experience and knowledge from them. Only by taking advantage of others to make up for one's own shortcomings can one continuously enrich one's own mind.
Children should get close to their teachers and friends from an early age so that they can learn a lot of etiquette and knowledge about how to deal with others. Xiang Jiuling is able to warm the mat, be filial to relatives, and do what he should do. Enlightenment: Everyone should know to honor their parents since childhood. This is the principle of life.
Only by knowing the joys and sorrows of your parents can you be filial to your parents and motivate yourself to study hard. Huang Xiang, a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, knew how to honor his father and warm his bed when he was nine years old.
This is what everyone who is filial to their parents should practice and imitate. At the age of four, you can make your pear brother grow up. You should be a prophet. Inspiration: Start by respecting your friendly brothers and cultivate your own love.
To treat others with a friendly attitude, you should not care about personal gains and losses. Only then will you be respected and welcomed by others, and only then will you feel their warmth. When Kong Rong of the Han Dynasty was four years old, he knew how to give big pears to his elder brothers. This kind of respect and friendship for elder brothers should be known to everyone from an early age.
The first filial brother, the first time I saw and heard, knew a certain number, knew a certain article, inspiration: Honoring parents and being friendly to brothers are the basis of being a human being; being able to write well is regarded as the capital of being a human being. To be a person with both ability and political integrity, you must start from two points.
Translation The first thing a person must learn is to honor his parents and love his brothers. The next step is to learn the knowledge he sees and hears. And you need to know basic arithmetic and advanced mathematics, as well as understand words and read literature.
One to ten Ten to a hundred Hundred to a thousand Thousand to a thousand Enlightenment: One to ten seems simple, but the changes are endless. The science of arithmetic is becoming more and more profound. Almost all scientific categories are inseparable from mathematics, so we must start from simple numbers seriously to lay a solid foundation for learning other knowledge in the future.
Translation: Our country uses the decimal arithmetic method: one to ten are the basic numbers, then ten ten is one hundred, ten one hundred is one thousand, ten one thousand is ten thousand... it keeps changing. Go down. Three Talents, Heaven, Earth and Man, Three Lights, Sun, Moon and Stars. Enlightenment: Only by understanding the world can human beings transform the world.
The world is too big. The stars in the sky, thunder, lightning, wind, and rain, the mountains, rivers, flowers, plants, trees, fish, insects, and animals on the earth, and humans are the spirit of all things.
Only by continuous learning can we use the knowledge we have to transform the world. The translator should also know some common sense in daily life, such as what are the "three talents"? The three talents refer to the three aspects of heaven, earth and man.
What is "Three Lights"? The three lights are the sun, moon, and stars.
The Three Cardinal Guidelines are the righteousness of the king and his subjects, the kinship of father and son, and the obedience of husband and wife. Enlightenment: In order to have a good and harmonious relationship between people, everyone must understand their own status. Everyone starts from me, so that the world can be peaceful and mankind can be peaceful forever.
Translation What are the "Three Cardinal Guidelines"? The Three Cardinal Guidelines are the three codes of conduct that should be observed in relationships between people, that is, the words and deeds of kings and ministers should be in line with justice, parents and children should love each other, and husband and wife should live in harmony. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are full of inspirations: Spring, summer, autumn and winter are because when the earth is rotating around the sun, it sometimes faces the sun, sometimes faces away from the sun, and sometimes tilts towards the sun, so there are different temperatures. The seasons change.
Let us take a look at the surrounding environment again. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are called the four seasons. These four seasons are continuous. 3. Explanation of the classical Chinese text "A man must learn"
