It's from [Lin Zexu's family instructions] ... Ha! You cited it in your paper! It is even more necessary to strengthen it! Find the rest of the questions yourself! Knowledge without cutting is your own! ... make a boat out of it! Classmate!
"If children and grandchildren are like me, what will they do with their money? If they are virtuous and versatile, they will lose their ambition; Children and grandchildren are not as good as me, what to do with money, stupid and unfilial, and long-term evil. " It is said that this text is Lin Zexu's family instructions. I don't know whether it is true or not. I checked it online and found many versions. Some of them said a couplet from Lin Zexu: "If children and grandchildren are like me, what to do with money, and be virtuous and rich, it will damage their ambitions; Children and grandchildren are not as good as me. What do you do with money? Foolish people make more money, which will increase their profits. " But most words have similar meanings, and the places where individual words come in and out account for the majority. Although I don't know the origin, it is difficult to make a conclusive judgment because I doubt its authenticity. If we say, "civil servants don't love money, and military commanders will die, then the world will be at peace." It comes from Lin Zexu's mouth, and it is almost doubtful. Therefore, in many languages related to human beings, people do not necessarily doubt the truth of this sentence, because the truth of his personality is not in contradiction with the language.
Some things in the history of China are really interesting. Many proverbs or aphorisms often pretend to be celebrities. Lin Zexu is a hero himself. In addition, Lin Zexu's calligraphy attainments are very high, and later he was exiled to make a living by using auspicious characters. Lin Zexu wrote couplets or rewarded him, so he accumulated many famous sayings, such as, "If you are greedy, your country will live and die, why not avoid it because of misfortune and happiness?" "There are hundreds of rivers, and tolerance is great; The wall stands a thousand miles, and it is just without desire. " "When the sea reaches the edge of the cloud, the sky is the shore, and the mountain climbs to the top, and I am the peak." Wait a minute, but the phrase "children and grandchildren are like me" seems to come from the legend of family education. But whether it is true or not, Lin Zexu's image is therefore more perfect, and with his own spirit, he forms a warning and encouragement for future generations.
There are many such legends about Lin Zexu. It is said that his son-in-law Shen Baozhen, who is full of vigor and vitality, has two lines in his poems about the moon: "One hook is enough for tomorrow, so why is it full of brilliance?" He said that even if he only showed a crooked talent, it would be enough to light up the world, and there was no need to give full play to it at all. Lin Zexu felt that Shen Baozhen's vision was blocked and hindered his future. So I changed the word "must" of "why" into the word "situation", which became: "One hook is enough for tomorrow, not to mention full of brilliance." Although it is a word difference, the meaning is quite different, and complacency and domineering have become proactive and ambitious expectations.
It is true that poetry expresses ambition, but without the personality guarantee that words and deeds are consistent, there will be no name for a text, and no name will be promoted with it; If the words of pointing out the mountains and flaunting the mountains are based on a personality that is contrary to the national righteousness, they will lose their efficacy and brilliance. Even if the words are beautiful, they are just words. The so-called "true and false is true, and false is true and false." It can be used to illustrate the meaning of words and deeds in aphorisms.
Therefore, if this person is as perfect as Lin Zexu's temperament, no one will doubt the source even if he is brave. If he were a traitor and a lackey, even his glory and boldness would not stand up, and high-profile remarks would be criticized even more.
