Three great wealth hidden in the Yan family motto

In the 6th century AD, an old man who \”suffered the pain of chaos and was deeply worried.\” \”Three times a man who has subjugated his country\” left a legacy for his descendants. This inheritance is not money, but a family motto of 20 articles written with his experienced pen. This old man is the famous Yan Zitui, and this book is the ever-famous \”Yan Family Instructions\”. In the eyes of many people, the most valuable asset is money. Wise people never put money first. For example, Lin Zexu\’s most famous joke: If your children and grandchildren are like me, what do you do with money? If you are virtuous and rich, it will harm your ambition; if your children and grandchildren are not as good as me, what do you do with money? If you are stupid and have a lot of money, it will increase your faults. Leave money behind that can be spent. And this old man’s sincere teachings have remained unchanged for thousands of years and are helpful to any of us. The hard-to-buy thing is health. I don’t know when it started. We soaked wolfberry in our water glasses and put on those disgusting long johns. When I look in the mirror, I realize that I have become a greasy middle-aged man. When people reach a certain age, they realize that health is really the leader of everything. There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom. You can be timid, but you can\’t be sick. Because looking around, everyone is counting on you. A few days ago, a friend was promoted to vice president. When he told his mother the good news, she only said one sentence. \”I don\’t care what you are or is not. As long as you take good care of your body, Mom will be relieved.\” People who love you never care about how high you fly, but care about whether you are tired and whether you are healthy or not. Mr. Yan, like parents today, hopes that his children and grandchildren will understand the importance of health. With more than 70 years of health care experience, he wrote it down without reservation and left it to future generations. He wrote in his family motto: \”Take care of your breath, be cautious when getting up and lying down, be comfortable in socializing, and avoid eating and drinking.\” A healthy body starts from the little things, and the diet and daily life must be precise and regular. He heard that Geng Jianwu of the Liang Dynasty often ate the fruits of the locust tree. When he was more than seventy years old, his eyes could read fine words, and his beard and hair were still black. In addition, his own teeth were not good, \”they were shaking, and he suffered from pain when eating hot or cold foods.\” He read in the book how to strengthen teeth, \”Knocking on your teeth three hundred times in the morning is good,\” and he followed them a few times. God, my teeth are really getting better. Looking at the above, it is not difficult to find that health preservation requires starting from the daily details. Perseverance is the best way to take care of the body. The impatient mood of an earnest old man and his exhortations in every detail are no different from our parents today. No one can become an immortal and live for a long time, but they must be healthy every day they live. Only after middle age do people realize that the prerequisite for working hard is to have a good body. Having a healthy body is the best responsibility for your family. Having good health is the greatest wealth in life. \”Perhaps my life is destined to go from failure to failure.\” Watching the popular TV series \”Ordinary Glory\”, this heart-wrenching sentence reveals the mentality of many middle-aged people. Many unwillingnesses will turn into compromises as we age. Thinking back then, when did that energetic young man become covered with dust and sink into the dust? The car loan and house loan that cannot be paid off, the tuition fees, water bills, and property fees that cannot be paid off. We have been crushed by the pressure of life and become humble. in life, Dare not be angry, dare not speak, just keep a promise, just to keep a job that can provide food and clothing. Life is not like this occasionally, but always like this. In \”Yan\’s Family Instructions\”, there is this paragraph: Clothing, food and supplies, public and private labor, plus gold and jade expenses, stoves and utensils are not the work of poor people. We have our difficulties, and the ancients had their difficulties. Everyone who has ever lived knows that life is never simple. Why don\’t we work hard, but not everyone who works hard will be rewarded. This paragraph in the book is very realistic: learning is like a cow\’s hair, and success is like a lin horn. Under the Huashan Mountain, there are bones as white as wild bones. How can this be done? There are thousands of people who work hard, but those who succeed are as rare as a feather. How many of the bones under the Huashan Mountain have ever stood out? Life has always been so unreasonable. The best way to live life, Mr. Yan Zhitui\’s words are very pertinent. He said: \”If you want to maintain your health, you must first worry about disasters, protect your whole body, and then support this life, and don\’t just support it without life.\” To sum up, In other words, when doing things, you must \”do your best and obey the destiny.\” Being rich and famous is not necessarily a blessing, but the absence of disaster is the best protection. Yes, \”There are idiots in the world who don\’t know benevolence and righteousness, who don\’t know how to rely on wealth and destiny.\” You can\’t make enough money, you can\’t finish things, just work hard, and you can\’t be too strong in everything. Take everything in life lightly, be ordinary, and peace is happiness. The most important thing is to cultivate your mind and cultivate a peaceful mentality. Don\’t ask for perfection, just do your best. The priceless treasure is contentment. \”The Book of Rites\” says: \”Desires cannot be indulged, ambitions cannot be fulfilled.\” All disasters in life come from never-satisfied greed. The male protagonist in the movie \”Speed\” has a sweet love, an ordinary job, and lives an ordinary life. Very much like you and me in ordinary life. However, an accidental contact with a wealthy boss disturbed his peaceful heart. Seeing the big bosses surrounded by beauties, the luxury cars coming in and out, and the grandeur of the mansion made him suddenly greedy. He promised the boss to do a piece of business for him and help him hijack a car, so he could make money that he would never make in his life. It is well said in \”Yan\’s Family Instructions\”: The universe can reach its extremes, and one\’s emotions do not know its limits. Only when there is little desire and knowledge is there the limit. The universe has limits, and human greed is endless. Only by knowing how to reduce desires can we have a limit. Once the gap of desire is opened, it will never be filled. People will get stuck in it and be unable to stop. When did a huge amount of stolen money start with a small favor? What kind of reasoning doesn\’t start when you reach out and take something from someone else? Cao Xueqin has a famous couplet in \”A Dream of Red Mansions\”: I forget to shrink my hands when I have more left behind, and I want to look back when I have no way to turn back. How much greed is there, but you don\’t know how to stop it in time at the beginning, and on the day when you go to jail, it\’s too late to regret it. Mr. Yan diligently warned future generations: In life, the clothes should be used to cover the cold dew, and the food should be used to satisfy the hungry ears. Within the body, one cannot be extravagant. Outside the body, do you want to be poor and arrogant? In modern words: clothes are just to keep out the cold, eating is just to satisfy hunger, and there is no need to be extravagant in the things you have around you. Greed is the root of disaster. On the contrary, contentment is a person\’s greatest blessing. \”Yan\’s Family Instructions\” is the first of its kind. There is not a single empty word, it is all real.Words from the bottom of my heart. From managing the country to managing the family, to cultivating the body and mind, it covers all aspects and is a truly valuable asset to future generations. In real life, we are running around all day long in order to live a better life. All the humiliation and burden-bearing efforts are just to support the happiness of the family. \”It is better to have a piece of dry biscuit and keep the family safe when the whole house is full of banquets and the family members are quarreling.\” On the premise of ensuring good health, work hard. Work hard without striving for perfection. In the indifference of contentment, understand the happiness of reducing desires. A person\’s greatest wealth is to have a healthy body, face it with a good attitude, and accept it with contentment. Try your best, that\’s the best result. There is no perfect score on the answer sheet of life. I hope you and I will choose carefully and write carefully. Then tell yourself: This world is worth it.
