In the past, Mencius’ mother chose a neighbor. Mencius lived in a conducive environment. "If you don't teach, your nature will change." It means that if you don't educate yourself well from an early age, your good nature will change with the environment.
Zhong Huamin praised Meng’s mother in his article "Essays on Commemoration of Mencius's Mother": The saint of the son is the saint of the mother. The wife raised her son and aspired to Confucius. From ancient times to the present, there is only one person.
Later generations regarded her as a model mother along with the mother of Yue Fei, who "served the country loyally", and the mother of Xu Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. She was known as the "three virtuous mothers" in China, and ranked first among the "three virtuous mothers" .
The story about Meng’s mother: Meng’s mother gave up her son. Weaving on the mother's side. Mencius stopped and then advanced again. His mother knew that he was noisy, so she called out to him and asked, "Why stop?" He replied, "If you lose something, you will find it again." His mother used a knife to rip the fabric to warn him. From then on, Mencius stopped making noise.
Translation: When Mencius was a child, his mother was weaving while he was reciting. Mencius suddenly stopped and continued to recite. Mencius's mother knew that he had forgotten the contents of the book because of distraction, so she called him and asked: "Why did you interrupt the endorsement?" Mencius replied: "I forgot it, but (later) I remembered it again." (This (At that time) Mencius' mother picked up a knife and cut the cloth, taking this incident as a warning.
After that incident, Mencius no longer forgot the contents of the book due to distraction.
Three Moves of Mencius's Mother
When Mencius was young, his home was close to the tomb, and he often played in the tomb. His mother said, "This is not where I am, my son." So she moved to the city. Mencius once again played around with one person's show off. His mother said: "This is not the place where my son should be." Futu lived next to the school palace. Mencius was playing with the matter of making progress and retreat for Zu Dou, and his mother said: "This is a good place for my son." So he stayed there. He grew up with Mencius, learned the six arts, and died as a great Confucian.
Translation: When Mencius was young, his family lived near the tomb. Mencius often liked to play among the tombs. Seeing this, Meng's mother said, "This place is not suitable for settling my son." So she took Mencius and moved to live near the market. However, Mencius also played around with learning from merchants. Meng's mother said: "This is not a suitable place for my son." So he moved to live next to the academy. Mencius made the rules of entering and exiting the court his own game. At this time, Meng's mother said: "This is the right place for my son." So she settled down. When Mencius grew up, he learned the six arts (ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics) and eventually became a sage.
Cut off the opportunity to teach your children
Mencius was a young man. After learning and returning, Meng’s mother was doing well. She asked: "Where did you learn?" Mencius said: "It's self-ruling." Mencius's mother cut off the weaving with a knife. Mencius was afraid and asked why. Meng's mother said, "If you abandon your studies, it will be like if I cut off the weaving." A gentleman learns to establish his reputation, asks questions and becomes knowledgeable, lives in such a way that he is at peace, and moves away from harm. If we abolish it now, we will not be able to avoid the servitude, but we will not be able to avoid the disaster. Why is it different from weaving food? If the middle way is abolished and not practiced, would it be better to be able to clothe one's husband and grow up without lack of food? Women will waste what they eat, men will fall into cultivating virtue, and if they don’t steal, they will become slaves! "Mencius was afraid, so he studied diligently day and night, taught his disciples, and became a famous Confucian in the world. A gentleman said that Meng's mother knew the way of being a mother.
Translation: When Mencius was young, he came home from school. His mother was weaving silk and (seeing him coming back) asked: "How is your study going?" Mencius said (carelessly): "It's the same as in the past." Meng's mother (very annoyed when she saw his indifferent look) cut the woven cloth with scissors. Mencius was very frightened, so he asked his mother why he did this. Meng's mother said: "You are neglecting your studies, just like I am cutting this thread." Same. A virtuous person studies to build a reputation and asks questions to increase his knowledge. Therefore, if you can be at peace at ordinary times, you can avoid disasters when doing things. Now that you have neglected your studies, you will not be exempted from menial labor, and it will be difficult to avoid disasters. Why is it different from making a living by weaving? (It means it is better to make a living by weaving)! If I give up halfway, can I keep you clothed and fed for a long time? If women neglect producing the daily necessities needed by the family and men relax their self-cultivation and virtue, then the whole family will have to do slave labor instead of being robbers and thieves! Mencius was shocked. From then on, Mencius studied diligently from morning to night without rest, and regarded Zisi as his teacher, and finally became the most educated person in the world. Virtuous people think that Meng's mother understands the rules of motherhood.
