The educational significance of Meng s mother s three migrations .

Mencius, the name Ke, the word Ziyu, Zou Guoren (now southeast of Zou County, Shandong) during the Warring States Period, a great thinker in ancient China, one of the representatives of Confucianism, and Confucius"Confucius and Mencius".。He was born in the fourth year of King Lie of Zhou (c. 372 BC) and died in the twenty-sixth year of King Zhou (c. 289 BC). The reason why Mencius can have such high achievements in his life is inseparable from his mother's education since he was a child.

When Mencius was a child, he lived very close to the cemetery, and Mencius learned some worship and played the game of funeral. When Meng's mother saw it, she thought, "This place is not suitable for children to live. ”

So he moved his family to the town market, however, Mencius learned to do some business and ** things. The mother thought again, "This place is still not suitable for children. ”

So he moved his family to the side of the school palace. This time, Mencius and the children in the neighborhood learned from adults to bow down and give way, and played the game of sacrifice and salutation. Mencius's mother said, "This is where my son should live." "That's where I settled. When Mencius grew up, learned the six arts, and gained the fame of Confucianism, the gentleman thought that this was the result of Mengzi's mother's gradual education.

This is the story of "Meng's mother's three migrations". Meng's mother moved three times and moved three times, although the first two times failed to do so, she did not give up. She understands how important the environment is to a child's development. In the end, Mencius was able to achieve great academic achievements and become a generation of grandmasters. This "Three Migrations Teaching" later became an allusion to the ancient Chinese education of children to pay attention to choosing a good environment.

This story also tells us that human growth requires both one's own efforts and a good environment. We must not only work our own, but also be good at relying on external forces, especially good at choosing an environment conducive to our own growth.
