Yu Yue, a writer of the Qing Dynasty, recorded a story in his book:

There is a wealthy businessman surnamed Zhu in Shandong, who is kind and charitable.

When others borrowed money from him, he was generous and never asked about repaying his debts.

When he was dying, his son asked him, "Do those who borrowed money have IOUs?"

The rich merchant said, "Don't ask about this." I have a box under my pillow that you can take out and look at when I die, so that you will not be able to eat for the rest of your life.

After the death of the wealthy merchant, his son opened the box and saw that there was nothing else except for a "Zhu Zi's Family Motto".

Later, this son used "Zhu Zi's Family Motto" to govern the family and run business, and he successfully passed on the family business.

Zhuzi's Family Motto", also known as the tutor of the sage, was respected by the famous scholars of the past dynasties as "the scripture of governing the family".

It is only 634 words in its full text, but it teaches the world the eternal problem of teaching children to govern the family and how to deal with the rise and fall of the family.

If you read it, you will also understand that the success or failure of a family is predestined in the dark.

Wake up at dawn, sprinkle and sweep the court, and keep the inside and outside tidy. "Zhu Zi's Family Motto" has a statement at the beginning:

When you get up in the morning, you should sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, sweep away the dust of yesterday, and maintain a clean and tidy home environment.

Qing Dynasty writer Liu Rong also said that if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world.

The reason why the ancients paid so much attention to sprinkling and sweeping is because they already knew:

Whether the room is clean or not is related to the fortune of a family.

Li Yu, a famous opera creator in the Qing Dynasty, once spent a lot of pen and ink in "Idle Love and Occasional Mail" to write about the skills of sprinkling and sweeping:

However, it is better to sweep diligently than to sprinkle diligently, and people know it;It is better to swipe than to sprinkle, and people do not know.

Most literati don't put their minds into sprinkling and sweeping, but Li Yu not only puts pen and ink into it, but also does it himself.

Not only does he have to clean his home every day, but he also keeps his desk neatly tidy.

With him, "if nothing is in order, it is like a thorn in the eye, and it must go first." ”

It is his ultimate pursuit of a clean life that makes him stand out from the crowd of literati and become the artist who understands life best.

Under the influence of Li Yu, the life of their family was also exquisite and emotional, and they were famous and large families at that time.

Yi Jianzhi wrote: "Gao Tang Subi, no Shu scroll;There are a few clear windows, and there is a place to sit and lie down. ”

The brighter and cleaner a home is, the more comfortable it is to live in.

When people are comfortable, their enthusiasm for life will increase.

Even if there are occasional ups and downs, you have the ability to live your life well.

This is what Mr. Feng Shui said: the home is pure, and good luck comes naturally.

Although the children and grandchildren are foolish, they must not fail to read the scriptures. Su Shi wrote in "Sanhuai Hall Inscription": Loyalty has been passed down to the family for a long time, and poetry and books have been passed down from generation to generation.

A family can prosper not by the amount of money, but by the smell of books at home.

In Chinese history, there is such a big family, with many talents and bright stars.

In modern times, there have been many celebrities such as Qian Xuesen, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Zhongshu, and Qian Mu.

The reason why this family can create such a miracle is because they put reading in the first place.

Reading is the first thing, and the children of reading are the first class. ”

Qian Zhongshu, a descendant of the Qian family, was influenced by his family and loved books all his life.

Not only has she made remarkable achievements in literature, but her daughter Qian Yu, because of her father's influence, has developed the Xi of reading since she was a child.

Later, when Qian Ying grew up, he became a professor in the English Department of Beijing Normal University, and pioneered the "stylistics" of English, and he was also quite accomplished in the professional field.

Writer Lin Qingxuan said:

A family that can smell the fragrance of books and hear peace can awaken the seeds of people's hearts;Instead, the seed will rot alone in the hustle and bustle.

A scholarly family is the best environment for a person to grow up.

It can make a child from a poor family change his lifeIt can also make an excellent family blessed for a long time.

As the saying goes, poetry and books are passed down from generation to generation.

Every book you read hides what your family's future looks like.

With the shoulder pick**, do not take advantage;When you see your neighbors who are poor and poor, you must be warm. I've seen a story before.

There is an old farmer who grows corn that wins the best crop award in the local department every year.

When the reporter interviewed him, he asked him what is the secret of planting?

The old farmer smiled and replied: Give the best seeds to your neighbors.

When the surrounding seeds are all high-quality varieties and pollinated, your corn can grow big and well.

Whether it's growing crops or running a family, the principle is the same.

That is, self-interest is born, and altruism is long.

If a person is shrewd and calculating, taking advantage of the people around him, sooner or later he will block his own way.

When you are in trouble, think about others, see your neighbors in need, and help them one day, when your family is in trouble, they will also help you.

After Sheng Hao resigned in the Ming Dynasty and returned to his hometown, he happened to meet several neighbors on the road who were being escorted.

He stepped forward to inquire and learned that these people were all because they owed money to their own family.

Sheng Hao was ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly let the neighbor go. He also recruited a housekeeper and burned the account books and IOUs in front of the neighbors.

Later, Sheng Hao's family encountered bandits, and the whole family was taken down

The neighbor happened to go to visit Sheng Hao and discovered the abnormality.

He ran away and shouted for help, and the other neighbors also came out, which drove the bandits away.

Sheng Hao's family also escaped because of this.

Chinese often say: Spread good relationships.

A lot of times, if you want something, you do something for someone else.

When you take care of others in everything, you are perfecting yourself in the dark.

Altruism is the best blessing for oneself.

One day, the tree you planted for others will become the towering tree that shelters your home.

Quit litigation at home, and litigation will eventually lead to murder;If you talk too much in life, you will lose if you say too much. As the old saying goes: each is responsible, and the sky is clear;Each is responsible, and the world is turned upside down.

The reason why many families are declining is because of the accusations and complaints among the members of the family.

Liang Zhiyuan in the classic TV series "Years" is an office worker who is excluded from the marginal department, and he lives with a meager salary.

His wife complained about this, and she kept counting her husband for not being motivated.

The vegetables Liang Zhiyuan bought back were not enough, and his wife said: Those ** also like to fool fools like you;

Liang Zhiyuan accidentally knocked over the teapot, and his wife scolded him for being "a wreck who can't do anything".

In the eyes of his wife, Liang Zhiyuan is an unqualified husband.

In Liang Zhiyuan's view, where there is a wife, it is also a Shura field.

So, he'd rather work late at night in the office than go home.

The emotional rift between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and the good days are getting colder and colder, and even to the point of divorce.

There is a saying in the "Hanging Mirror of the World": There is no anger in the end, and the family is not decaying;Those who have not been harmonious, and whose homes are not auspicious.

It means that there has never been a family that is harmonious, and the family is not prosperous;

There is no family that is angry with each other, and the family does not decline.

It can be seen that how family members get along with each other determines the luck of a family.

As the saying goes, home and everything prosper.

The Book of Rites also says: Father and son, brotherhood, husband and wife, and family harmony.

Mutual understanding and one heart and one mind are the beginning of a family's prosperity.

Collector Ma Boyong said:

A family's inheritance is like a fine antique. It has been cared for and polished by many people, and has been quietly accumulated in a long time, and slowly, this inheritance is also like an antique, which will be wrapped in a layer of dark and round pulp, quiet and warm, exuding an ancient atmosphere. Antiques are tangible, inheritance is not qualitative, it cannot be seen, it cannot be touched, but it seeps into the blood of every descendant of the family, becomes the spiritual bond between family members, and even becomes a part of their character and even destiny.

Therefore, the prosperity of a family is actually inherited.

Truly far-sighted families know how to:

Reading is the starting pointTo benefit one's neighbor as the foundation of protecting one's family;Take harmony as the foundation of the family.

The family that runs in this way can not only withstand the trivialities, but also withstand the invasion of strong winds and waves.

Like it, and for the rest of your life, you will be with your family to read "Zhuzi's Family Motto" and live a prosperous life.
