It must be Mencius’ mother teaching her children!
Enlightenment from Mencius’ mother in educating her children
Mencius’s mother’s surname was Qiu, and his father’s name was Meng Ji. They died when Mencius was young. Mencius later became a "lesser sage" and a person second only to Confucius in the Confucian ideological system, mostly due to his mother. Chinese culture has a long history, and the term "prenatal education" has been around for a long time. Mother Mencius knew the importance of "prenatal education" very well. "Han Shi Wai Zhuan" contains a passage she said: "I am pregnant with a child. If the mat is not upright and I will not sit on it, and if I do not cut it upright and will not eat, this is prenatal education." In fact, the child is in prenatal education. The mother's body is already an independent life form, able to communicate with the mother and understand the mother's joys and sorrows. A mother who is physically and mentally upright and in a peaceful mood will naturally bring positive information to her children, which is conducive to their intelligence and the formation of good character.
In daily life, Meng's mother not only paid attention to the warmth and warmth of her son's daily life, but also took the trouble to improve her son's personality through "teaching by words" and "teaching by example". When Meng's mother discovered that her son had been affected by a bad environment, in order to find a good living and learning environment for her son, Meng's mother began a long process of moving, and finally moved her family to a place near the academy in Zoucheng. Although the house was dilapidated, it was There are often scholars coming and going nearby, and their elegant charm, calm demeanor, and elegant behavior have a subtle influence on nearby residents. Especially the children who were just learning about human affairs often gathered under the big tree to practice the etiquette of bowing and giving way in the palace. They were solemn and solemn, which made Mother Meng who was watching from a distance very happy, so she took care of them. With her son settled down peacefully, the story of "Meng's mother moved three times" was left in history.
A person's basic personality is generally formed before the age of six. After the age of six, as the scope of activities gradually expands, it will naturally be affected by the surrounding environment. At this time, "those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black." The environment is so important to children's growth. As people's morality gradually declines, people's selfishness becomes more and more serious. In order to prevent their children from suffering losses, and to ensure that their children can stand out in the future, when educating their children, adults always teach them to learn to be "advanced" and would rather let the world down than let the world down me. As a result, the children become more and more selfish. big. Nowadays, people do not consider each other when things happen. They are self-centered and hurt each other. It cannot be said that the previous generation did not have responsibility. Only when mothers in the world start from themselves, cultivate their moral character, and teach their children through words and deeds can they develop noble morals and character, and the entire society can be stable and peaceful.
When the Meng family still lived next to the market in Miaohuying Village, someone was killing pigs in the east neighbor. Mencius asked his mother in confusion: "Why is the neighbor killing pigs?" Meng's mother was busy at the time, and she believed Mencius said: "Here you eat!" Mencius was very happy to wait for the meat. In order not to break her promise to her son, Meng's mother reluctantly took out a little money from her limited living expenses to buy meat and let her son eat it to his heart's content. Mother Mencius taught her son with practical actions that being honest means being honest. As the saying goes, "Words must be deeded, and deeds must be resolute." To make her children a person who is true to her word, the mother must start with every word and deed!
In Mencius's growth process, there is also a short story about his mother "cutting off the weaving to supervise the school". One day, Mencius skipped school and played outside for a long time. When her son came home, Meng's mother quietly picked up a pair of scissors and cut the woven brocade silk into two pieces. When Mencius was shocked and puzzled, Meng's mother said: "Your abandonment of learning is just a matter of time." Like me cutting the silk!" Mother Meng used "cutting the silk" to warn against "dropping out of school", pointing out that the consequences of giving up halfway will be very serious. The scene of "cutting off the weaving of the schoolmaster" left a distinct impression of shock and fear in Mencius's young mind. He understood that he must have perseverance in doing things. Once he has set his goal, he should not be disturbed by the outside world. From then on, I worked tirelessly and studied day and night.
Meng’s mother taught her son meticulously. Even after they got married, Meng’s mother still had to give guidance on how the couple should get along. The ancient "Biography of the Martyr Woman" records: Mencius was furious when Meng's wife Youshi walked around naked in the bedroom. Youshi thought that her husband was too extravagant, so he asked her mother-in-law for an explanation. For a long time, Mencius was always dissatisfied with his wife and even intended to divorce her. Meng's mother showed great righteousness to her son, and Mencius deeply felt that he was Meng Lang, so he got rid of the grudge in his heart and lived happily with his wife as before.
Mencius believed that the Song Dynasty could realize his political ambitions, but he repeatedly postponed it in order to support his old mother. Time flies, more than thirty years have passed, Mencius has reached the age of knowing his fate, and he sighs and sighs all day long. When Mencius' mother asked why, she told her son an eternal saying: "The etiquette of husband and wife is refined in the five flavors, good at wine and wine, raising uncles and aunts, and sewing clothes for themselves. Therefore, they have the cultivation within the boudoir, but have no ambitions outside the country." When it comes to women, there is no sense of mastery, but there are three principles of obedience. Therefore, when you are young, you obey your parents, when you get married, you obey your husband, and when your husband dies, you obey your son. This is also the etiquette. Now my son is an adult, and I am old! "You will follow your righteousness, and I will follow my etiquette." A few words eliminated Mencius's worries, so he traveled around the country again and received unprecedented respect and welcome.
As a woman, Meng's mother's greatness is not only "refining the five flavors, preparing wine, raising aunts, and sewing clothes" and "the three principles of obedience", but she also pays more attention to the growth of her son. , he taught Mencius earnestly and sincerely for decades, from being prudent, inspiring, being honest, encouraging learning to making appointments with others. Mencius's mother was a great woman. She worked hard, was diligent and frugal, and upheld her integrity in raising her son. She not only made Mencius a success, but also left a complete set of parenting plans for future generations of mothers, and brought many benefits to today's mothers. Revelation 3.
