"get up at dawn, sweep the courtyard, and be clean inside and out; When you are unconscious, you will rest. Close the door and check it yourself. " It means: get up at dawn in the morning, first sprinkle water on the ground inside and outside the court and then sweep the floor to make it clean and tidy; At dusk, you should have a rest and check for yourself whether the door is locked. What are the benefits of "getting up at dawn"? Getting up early can make people breathe fresh air, make their brains very clear and make themselves happy all day. Zeng Guofan mentioned many times in his letters to "get up early". "Clean the courtyard and keep it clean inside and outside", cleaning the courtyard in the morning and keeping it clean inside and outside will make people's day orderly and clear-headed, and will not lead to uncertainty because of the clutter at home. The process of sweeping the floor is also the process of sweeping the heart. When the dust in the room is swept away, the dust in the mind seems to be swept away. Of course, "neatness inside and outside" can also be extended to include the neatness inside and outside of our own clothes. "If you feel dizzy, rest. If you close the door, you will behave", which means that you should close the door early at night to rest. In ancient times, there was no current electrical equipment and entertainment. Because we had to get up early the next day, we had to go to bed early. Now, we should understand the meaning of the word "rest". In fact, reading and watching TV at home behind closed doors in the evening is also a kind of "rest". Of course, it is best to go to bed before ten o'clock. "Rest" tells us not to wander around outside at night. There are so many recreational activities now, such as singing at night or other eating and drinking. Too much noise at night is harmful to our spirit, and too much diet is harmful to our health. So let's see, there is wisdom in it! "If you close the door and lock it, you must check it yourself." You have to see for yourself whether the doors and windows are closed properly, so as to avoid thieves, prevent your family from catching cold and let yourself sleep more stably. A small detail is also important.

"It is not easy to think about a porridge and a meal; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to save material resources. " It means: for a porridge and a meal, think hard; For half-silk or half-thread clothes, we should always remember that it is very difficult to produce these materials. "A porridge and a meal, when thinking is hard-won", educate people that food is hard-won and should be cherished. Let me see. People eat now, feeling that they have no face without leftovers. Once you have finished eating, some people will question, "Do you have no food?" This is a very bad phenomenon, spreading the habit of wasting. "Half silk and half wisp, always thinking about material difficulties" is to educate people to cherish clothes. We see that many people waste clothes very seriously now. It's a great waste to throw away a new dress before wearing it for a few days! We can't just eat and wear warm clothes, but also take care of the lives of those poor people. People should be compassionate, always look around, and try their best to help others if they need it. Also, it is very necessary to educate people to know how to save, instead of speeding up production and stimulating consumption, which will cause great waste of resources.

"It is wise to prepare for a rainy day and dig a well when you are thirsty." It means: the house should be repaired before it rains, and don't wait until you are thirsty to dig a well. This teaches us that everything should be prepared in advance, and we can't wait until we are in a hurry to "cram", then we will panic. The Book of Rites, The Doctrine of the Mean, says, "Everything is established in advance, and it is abolished if it is not predicted." It means that things that are prepared are easy to succeed and things that are not prepared are easy to fail. In our life, we have experienced many such examples. Sometimes, due to inadequate preparation, we often have a lot of regrets or even regrets, and neither regret nor regret can change the status quo of the facts.

"Self-help must be frugal, and banquets must not stay." It means: be frugal in life and don't linger at dinner. Why do we have to be frugal in life? Thrift may not save much wealth, but it can prevent family members from forming the habit of extravagance and waste, which is a sign of failure. We know that "it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality." So it should be prevented. Why not stay at the party? We must know that "there is no such thing as a banquet that must come to an end." Some people sing KTV at night and don't want to go at night, which wastes money and affects their health.

It's a little long, I hope it will help you, I hope you can adopt it, O(∩_∩)O Thank you.
