Poetry and calligraphy handed down by Li Yuejiao's son.
Liu Gongchu, our Hedong envoy in the Tang Dynasty, is the most famous official. There is a family law, and there is a small Zhai in the middle of the door. Since the day when there is no memorial service, every flat has to be given a small Zhai, and all the scholars are bound. The morning light is in the north of the middle gate. Public and private, meeting guests, eating with my younger brother, starting from my younger brother, never leaving the study. The arrival of candles is a way to discuss the rules of official life, that is, before the children hold candles alone, they bow their heads and read them first. Or paper, or listen to the piano, until people set the clock, and then go to bed, philosophers will be in a daze to the north of the central gate. For more than twenty years, nothing has changed. When he was hungry, all the scholars ate vegetables and said, "My brother Shi Xianjun is the secretariat of Danzhou, and he doesn't listen to reading and eat meat. I dare not forget. "
If an aunt, sister and nephew are lonely and alienated, they will marry them for their husbands. They are all dressed in wood carvings and decorated with silk. As the saying goes, you have to wait for wealth and equipment, so why not hurry up when you get married? The public is a pawn, and the middle camp follows its law. Li Xiangyu's family is the only one who can abide by the first law for a long time. More than 200 descendants still live together. The income from the pastoral house and the salary of officials are all gathered in one library, and the daily bread and rice are constantly spent on weddings and funerals. The scale of assigning children to take charge of affairs is probably due to the system of Hanlin bachelor school.
Liu, an envoy to Hedong in Tang Dynasty, was the most famous official and scholar at that time. He is very strict about family law.
There is a small study to the east of the middle gate. As long as it is not the day to visit the emperor, he goes to the study on time every morning, and Zhong Ying and other children are standing in the north of the middle door wearing belts to greet him. Liu Gongzhuo never leaves his study from morning till night, whether dealing with business or private affairs, receiving guests, and having dinner with his younger brother, public power and cousins. After the lantern is lit, ask the children to stand in front of the lamp and read the book of classics and history in person, and then begin to explain the ways of being an official and managing the family. He talked about articles or listened to the piano until late at night when his children stood in the north of the middle door and said good night to him. This has persisted for more than 20 years and has never changed. If the children eat vegetables during the famine, Gong Chuo said to them, "Our brothers used to serve their father, Danzhou Secretariat, and were not allowed to eat meat because their studies were not completed. I still dare not forget. " If any cousin is a widow, even if their relationship is very far away, the public should choose their husbands and prepare dowry for them. Those dowries are wood carving dressing boxes and dyed silk fabrics. Gong Chuo often said: It is better to get married in time than to wait for a rich dowry. After Gong Chu's death, his son Zhong Ying completely abided by the family law and managed the family according to his father's practice.
Among the ministers of this dynasty, only Li Yun, the prime minister of Emperor Taizong, was able to observe the ancient etiquette. There are more than 200 descendants in his family for several generations, but they still don't separate and eat together. All the income of the family's rural real estate, as well as the salaries of family officials, are under the unified management of the family. Usually, meals are distributed according to population, and the cost of weddings and funerals is also stipulated. Let the children at home be responsible for these things. The scale of the Li family has probably surpassed that of the Hanlin family.
