Wang Yangming’s family motto: Just 96 words, but it is the foundation for a child’s life.

Wang Yangming’s family motto condenses the great wisdom of life. It is just 96 words, but it is the foundation for a child\’s lifelong life. 01 Study diligently and be filial. Knowledge affects vision, and vision determines the pattern. Reading is the main way to acquire knowledge, and it is the nobility with the lowest threshold. The lamb kneels down to breastfeed, and the crow feeds back. Being filial to one\’s parents is a human\’s natural conscience. Letting children fall in love with reading and being filial to their parents from an early age is Wang Yangming\’s top priority in his family motto. 02 Learn to be humble and follow etiquette. There is a kind of cultivation called \”Don\’t use your noble body to make others inferior\”. Teach children from an early age not to be arrogant or arrogant because of so-called superiority. And turn your inner humility into outward polite behavior. Don\’t elevate yourself or belittle others. Only by respecting others can you gain respect from others. 03 Eat in moderation and stop playing games. \”Eat in moderation\” is the attitude of the ancients towards diet. Living in an era where it is easier to gain weight and suffer from affluence diseases, and cannot even control one’s body shape, how can one control one’s life? Playing is a child\’s nature, but one must not indulge in games too much. Playthings will inevitably lead to despair. If you are not determined, how can you talk about establishing virtue, meritorious service, and reputation in the future? 04 Don’t lie, don’t be greedy for profit. The ancients said: “Integrity is gold.” Integrity is the foundation of being a human being, and it is the greatest wealth in a child’s life. Greed seems to be a gain, but in fact it is a loss; if you gain the present, you will lose the future. Heaven and earth nourish all things, so why should we care about or be greedy for small gains? The century-old store Ruifuxiang burned down all its account books in a fire. The boss decided that all the debts owed by Ruifuxiang would be paid back and all the accounts owed to Ruifuxiang would be written off. This is \”small businessmen seek profits, big businessmen seek ways.\” 05 Don’t be sentimental, don’t be aggressive. \”Zengguang Xianwen\” says that the heart is like a horse running on the plains, easy to let go but hard to chase. To indulge one\’s own temperament without restraint is a dangerous behavior that is easy to let go but hard to control. Fighting, anger, and acting out of impulse will make you lose your rationality, harming others and not benefiting yourself. At no time should people be slaves to their own emotions. Let your child learn to control negative emotions, and he will be one step closer to success. 06 Don’t blame others, but the meaning of the family motto of autonomy is: be strict with yourself and be lenient to others. This is difficult to do, but precisely because of its difficulty, it has become a natural chasm for China and other countries to go from ordinary to outstanding. The story of Yang Zhen\’s refusal to accept bribes is well known to the world: Faced with the briber\’s argument that \”no one will know\”, Yang Zhen responded righteously: \”God knows that you know that I know, how can no one know?\” Children understand that the more self-discipline they have, the more freedom they have. Self-discipline is the best way to love yourself. 07 To be able to serve is to have the ambition of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, to rest on his salary and taste the courage to regain his great cause; Han Xin was humiliated under the crotch, spent ten years sharpening his sword, and finally met his master. Wang Yangming said that as long as you have a sincere determination, you can overcome your selfish desires. A person with lofty ambitions will not feel that he is great, but will be able to bend and stretch, and be able to serve others. Wang Yangming believes that by praising children more and making them rich in their hearts, they will be confident and have a peaceful mind. Only then can they see the advantages of others and humbly improve themselves. 08 Being able to accommodate people is a great tool that can accommodate all kinds of rivers. Tolerance is great. The prime minister\’s heart can hold a boat, and the bigger his mind, the greater his achievements. A truly powerful person has a strong heart and can tolerate his own shortcomings. Really powerful people are more tolerant of others. Don’t look down upon others’ weaknesses; don’tDon\’t be jealous when people are successful. Being able to tolerate people cannot only rely on teaching, but also must be cultivated in practice in every aspect of life. Don\’t suppress children, enrich their hearts, and their minds will rise. 09 How to be a good person depends on your heart. If you have a good heart, you are a good person; if you have a bad heart, you are a vicious person. For example, the heart of a tree fruit is the pedicle; if the pedicle is bad, the fruit will fall. Wang Yangming was once chased by Liu Jin and attacked by villagers in Longchang. But he repaid evil with kindness, still believed in kindness, and helped villagers build houses, study, and farm. An old saying goes: \”Morality can be passed down to the family for more than ten generations, farming and reading are the second best, poetry and books are the next best, and wealth can be passed down to the family for only three generations.\” Just like the fruit on the tree, conscience is the pedicle. If the pedicle is broken, the fruit will be lost. It just fell off. Letting children and grandchildren be good people is the foundation for the prosperity and continuation of the family. Parents are their children\’s first teachers. The best family tradition is the upbringing of parents. The foundation of a child\’s lifelong life and the child\’s future are all hidden in every bit of family tradition and tutoring.
