Family motto is an important part of traditional Chinese culture and an important part of the family tree. It plays an important role in personal self-cultivation and family management in Chinese history. It is essential to make the country more prosperous and stronger.

In ancient times, human society has experienced changes in clans, families, and families. However, these are the cornerstones of a country.

When the country is unstable and national laws are unclear, family mottos can exert the power to stabilize social order. Because, in order to maintain the necessary legal system, families formulate certain behavioral norms to restrain family members. This is the earliest origin of family law and family motto.

Since the early Han Dynasty, family mottos have become more and more colorful with the evolution of dynasties. The family tree records many famous aphorisms about managing a family and educating children, which have become a good strategy for managing a family that people admire and a model for "cultivation" and "keeping the family together". For example, the idea of ??frugality and housekeeping that "every porridge and a meal should be remembered as hard-earned" still seems to have positive significance today. There are many detailed records of family mottos and rules in family genealogies for future generations to follow. Among them, the most praised famous mottos, such as the Yan family motto and Zhu Xi's family motto, are still popular today.

The reason why family mottos are valued by the world is that their main purpose is to promote loyalty, filial piety, justice, and teach etiquette and integrity. In addition, what is promoted and what is prohibited are also important contents in clan rules and family laws, such as: "Frugality should be respected", "Evil witches should be banned", etc.
