Where does this motto come from?
Motto is a famous aphorism written by the ancients on the right side of the seat, which serves as a starting point for warning yourself and a guide to action. There are three main sayings about the origin of this proverb.
1. The first argument is that Qi Huangong, the leader of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, liked lacquerware very much before his death.
He always puts a machine on the right side of his seat to warn himself not to be complacent. In ancient times, this lacquer ware was an inclined water container. When the lacquer is tilted in space, it will stand upright in the middle when wine or water is poured into it. It will tilt again when it is late. After Qi Huangong's death, there were machines in the temples built for him by the Qi people. Later, Confucius took his students to worship in Qi Huangong Temple and educated his disciples with the story of Qi Huangong.
Qi Huangong became the first of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was inseparable from his self-reliance. Confucius changed the subject and reminded students that reading is the same. You must remember moderate gains and total losses. Confucius not only said this, but also did it. After returning home, he immediately had a lacquerware made and put it on the right side of the seat to show his vigilance. Later, the inscription on the machine became a variety of famous aphorisms, and the word motto of the infiltration group has been used to this day along the shout.
2. Secondly, it is said that Cui Yuan was a famous writer and calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
I was too impulsive when I was young, and my brother was killed. He was willing to avenge his brother, killed the murderer in a rage, and then fled to the end of the world, making himself suffer, but he was finally arrested by the government and was released after being pardoned by the world. According to his own experience, he learned from a painful experience and said a paragraph of his own words, which he put on the right side of the seat to remind himself at all times, so he called it "the orange seat".
3. The third statement comes from The History of Song Dynasty, which records the history of Fan's study as a teacher.
He also said that there was a man named Wu Jie in the Song Dynasty who liked to read the history of oranges. Wu Jie likes reading and taking notes. He copied all kinds of useful contents from the history books and put them on the right side of the seat. Over time, its walls and windows are covered with famous sayings and aphorisms.
Since then, his practice has spread slowly and become an encouragement to people. A habit written on it is called a motto. These are three theories about the source of aphorisms. But either way, the motto has the same meaning to inspire a person's famous motto.
