Appreciation of Zhu Jiaxun's Poems

Song Zhuxi's "Family Instructions for Zhuzi", with more than 300 words, brilliantly expounded the ways of self-cultivation and family management, and was honored as a "classic of family management" through the ages. Zhu's works are numerous, and Family Instructions of Zhu Zi is an important family management work. The whole article briefly covers the responsibilities and obligations that individuals should bear in the family and society. The sentences are neat and antithetical, and the words are clear and fluent, with strong appeal and profound life wisdom. Spread widely and have great influence.

What the monarch cherishes is benevolence. I value loyalty. What my father cherishes is kindness. Filial piety is also the most precious thing for children. Brothers' friends are the people you value. Everyone my brother loves is respected. What a husband values is harmony. The person a woman loves is soft. Being a teacher is more expensive than being polite, and making friends is more expensive than believing.

When you meet your elders, you should respect them; See young people and love them. I will respect those noble people, although they are younger than me; Unscrupulous people, although older than me, I will stay away from them. Be careful not to talk about other people's shortcomings or praise your own merits. Revenge with righteousness, sue directly, and be satisfied with what you encounter. People are too small to tolerate; If a person has made a big mistake, he should speak out rationally. Don't do it because of small goodness, and don't do it because of small evils. If people have evil, they must hide it; If a person has goodness, he must publicize it.

Have no enmity with the world, and be selfless in managing your family. Don't be selfish and hurt others, and don't be jealous of talents. Don't say that you are angry and report disobedience, and you don't want see no evil, which is not good for others. Don't take ill-gotten gains, take them reasonably Poetry and books must be read, and etiquette and righteousness must be known. Children and grandchildren must be taught, and children and servants must be kind. Gentle people will be disrespectful, and those in adversity will help. Those who keep my points are also polite; Those who listen to my orders, heaven also. If people can do this, so can heaven. This is a daily routine. If clothes are to the body and diet is to the mouth, clothes are indispensable for a day, but they can be sloppy! (Excerpted from Ziyang Zhu)

The value of being a monarch is "benevolence" and concern for the people. What is precious when a minister is "loyalty", loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. What is precious about being a father?

"Kindness", love children. What is precious when a son is "filial piety", which is filial piety to his parents. When a brother is precious, he is a "friend" and loves his brother. What is precious when a younger brother is "respect" and respect for his brother. What is precious to a husband is "harmony" and harmony with his wife. What is precious to a wife is "gentleness" and meekness to her husband. Teachers should be polite in service and pay attention to credit when making friends. Respect the elderly and love the children. I must respect a man of noble character, even if he is younger than me. I must stay away from people with bad conduct, even if they are older than me. Don't talk casually about other people's shortcomings; Don't brag about your merits. For those who have feuds, tell the truth and be reasonable. Be honest and upright with those who blame themselves. Whether you are proud or easy-going, difficult or unfavorable, you should be calm and unmoved. Others have small mistakes, so be tolerant! If someone else makes a big mistake, we should persuade him and help him according to reason. Don't do it just because it is a small good thing, and don't do it just because it is a small bad thing. Others have done bad things, help them to mend their ways, and don't preach their evil deeds. Others should be praised for doing good deeds. There is no personal enmity in dealing with people, and there is no separate private law in managing housework. Don't do things that harm others and benefit yourself. Don't be jealous of talented people and capable people. Don't say that you are angry with unreasonable people, and don't hurt the lives of people and animals casually in violation of legitimate things. Do not accept improper property, support reasonable. Be sure to read poetry books often, and be sure to understand etiquette and righteousness. Children and grandchildren should be educated, and child servants should be pitied. We must respect those who are moral and knowledgeable, and we must help those who are in trouble. These are the truths that a man should know, and everyone should do his duty to reach the standard of "courtesy". By doing so, we have fulfilled the mission entrusted to us by everything in the world and conformed to the principle of "destiny".
