Source: Qing Jinying's "Motto Lian Bi" practices grain, unless there is a strange disaster, there must be a strange poverty. Cherish words like gold, which not only shows honor, but also prolongs life. Happiness lies in contentment, and life is not humiliating; Zhi Zhi always stops, and he will never be ashamed. The form is right, not that the shadow is straight, but that the shadow is straight. The peace of voice is not the sum of voices, but the harmony of self. The worship of virtue does not seek far fame, but far fame.
Interpretation of vernacular:
Waste food, even if there is no strange disaster, there will be extreme poverty. Cherish paper, not only can be rich, but also can prolong life. Protect Thailand with benefits, know its satisfaction, and never disgrace it for life; Leave room, enough is enough, and don't be ashamed for a lifetime. You don't have to ask the shadow to be upright in your body, then the shadow must be upright. If you have a good reputation and you don't ask others for permission, your reputation will naturally spread far and wide. Morality is lofty, not seeking fame, and naturally someone knows.
Extended information article appreciation:
Jin Ying's book "Several Proverbs" is based on Confucian universities and the golden mean, with honesty, integrity, self-discipline, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world as its main contents.
According to people's reading habits at that time, collecting wisdom words about these contents can be divided into eight categories, from individuals and families to society and country.
The author's original intention is to take the golden rule as a wake-up call, that is, to spur and enlighten children with the wise aphorisms of sages and sages, to understand the truth of being a man from an early age, to set up lofty aspirations in life, to strive for progress, and to become useful people to the country and family when they grow up. The book's incisive reasoning, accurate events, precise wording and concise articles are all ancient and modern.
Every story is rich in connotation, profound and meaningful. The wisdom and infinite expectation of sages are all in this quip.
A book in hand, after careful study and careful experience, will certainly be able to grasp the true meaning of life, travel in the living space, cultivate self-cultivation, run the country by the family and serve the society. It is a good medicine to save the world and a guide to life. Therefore, after publication, it became a palace treasure, spread among the people and spread overseas, and became a far-reaching, widespread and enduring enlightenment reading.
Most of these aphorisms form stable opposites. Compound sentence, neat structure, easy to memorize and easy to read. The language is accurate and simple, with clear and profound meaning and few allusions. It is a common saying that appeals to both refined and popular tastes, which makes people ponder endlessly.
Lian Bi's motto was once called "The world is learning" in the postscript. It means that this book starts from the practice of social life and explores the correct and applicable way of survival from the worldly wisdom. No matter who it is, no matter what happens, it will be inspired and encouraged.
