"Everything yesterday is like dying yesterday, and everything today is like being born today." From Yuan Liaofan - "Liaofan's Four Instructions".

Original text: Now you know what is wrong. I will try my best to change my appearance of not having any academic qualifications and having no children; I must accumulate virtue, take care of shortages, be harmonious and love, and cherish my spirit. The past is like death yesterday; the past is like birth today; this is the body of rebirth.

Interpretation: Now that you know your faults, find out the reasons why you could not pass the imperial examination and have no heirs, and correct them all; you must accumulate virtue and do good, and you must be tolerant of people and things. You must be harmonious and harmonious when dealing with others, and you must cherish your own spirit. All the mistakes in the past are like yesterday's past, so let them go; in the future, things will be like being reborn today, and you have to start over; this is the rebirth of justice and the eternal wisdom life!
