On China's moral education thought formed over thousands of years, it can be expressed in the form of famous sayings and epigrams, which can be taught orally or written as couplets to be hung in doors, halls and bedrooms.

As the motto of managing the family and educating children, it is very popular with bureaucrats, gentry and literati. It has been widely circulated since it came out, and it has been honored as a "classic of family management" by scholars of past dynasties. It used to be one of the required textbooks for children from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.

The core of Zhu Zi's family precepts is to make people aboveboard, knowledgeable, rigorous, tolerant, kind and lofty, which is also the consistent pursuit of China culture. If we really follow this practice, we can not only become a person with noble sentiments, but also build a happy family and a harmonious society.
