1. Ancient poems about family traditions and mottos

Li Shimin: Think of filial piety when serving the ancestors, and respect when dealing with others; devote yourself to hard work to practice virtue and justice.

Yan Zhitui: Brothers are fractal connected people, and they are young. Parents lift left and right, and wear the front and back. They eat together, dress together, and learn together. If you travel, you will have sex. Even if there are people who are disobedient and chaotic, you can't help but love each other. As strong as they are, every wife has his own wife, and every son has his own son. Even though there are some honest and generous people, they cannot fail too little.

Fan Zhongyan: Filial piety should be done to the best of one's ability, loyalty and courage should be shown sincerity; brothers help each other, and compassion has no boundaries. Read the books of sages diligently, respect your teachers as you respect your relatives; do not be arrogant in etiquette, be humble and respectful to your neighbors. Respect the elders and care for the young, show pity to the orphans, widows and the poor; be humble and honest, and avoid arrogance. Don't throw away the writing paper, and keep the five hubs of kindness; do things according to natural principles, and cherish all living beings. Live up to the eight virtues in life, cultivate your character and serve the Lord and God; have children and grandchildren with a firm heart, and cultivate a family with good roots.

Su Xun: Be filial to your parents when you are in, and be harmonious to your neighbors when you are out. When the superiors have questions, they must answer them. Those present must raise their heads. Don't make jokes or be arrogant. Don't call someone with a formal name, and use the honorific title when you speak. Let the elders eat and drink first, and follow them when traveling.

Ji Xiaolan: The first is to get up late; the second is to be lazy; the third is to be luxurious; the fourth is to be proud. In addition to observing the four precepts, we must also follow four appropriate rules: first, we should read diligently; second, we should respect our teachers; third, we should love others; fourth, we should eat prudently.

2. What are the ancient poems about family traditions and family mottos

1. "Winter Night Reading Shows Ziyu" - Lu You of the Song Dynasty

The knowledge of the ancients is inexhaustible Strength, young and strong, old and mature.

I only know that this matter needs to be carried out in detail.

Translation: The ancients spared no effort in learning, and often did not achieve success until old age. After all, the knowledge gained from books is not perfect. If you want to deeply understand the truth, you must practice it yourself.

2. "Shi'er" - Song Dynasty: Lu You

After death, I know that everything is in vain, but I am not as sad as Jiuzhou.

Wang Shibei fixed the day of the Central Plains, and he did not forget to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifices.

Translation: I originally knew that when I died, everything in the world would have nothing to do with me; but the only thing that made me sad was that I could not see the reunification of the motherland with my own eyes. Therefore, when the day comes when the Song army regains the lost land in the Central Plains, and you hold family sacrifices, don’t forget to tell me the good news!

3. A porridge and a meal, when you think about the difficulty of getting there; half a thread, half a thread, always think about the difficulty of material resources. ——Zhu Bolu's "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties

Definition: For a bowl of porridge or a meal, we should think about it as hard-earned; for half a silk or half a thread of clothes, we should also think about it. It is very difficult to always think about the production of these materials.

4. The strictness between father and son cannot be severe; the love between flesh and blood cannot be simplified. Simple means kindness and filial piety but neglect, while rough means neglect. ——Yan Zhitui's "Yan Family Instructions" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties

Interpretation: Father and son should be serious but not negligent; there should be love between flesh and blood, but not frivolous. If you are simplistic, you will not be able to be kind and filial; if you are neglected, neglect will occur.

5. The most difficult way to self-cultivation is to cultivate the mind; the most difficult thing to cultivate the mind is to be cautious about being alone. ——Zeng Guofan's "Book of Commandments to His Sons" by Zeng Guofan in the Qing Dynasty

Interpretation: The most difficult thing about cultivating one's moral character, being a human being, and learning is to cultivate one's heart. The most difficult thing to cultivate one's heart is to be able to think and think when alone. Be cautious in your words and actions. 3. Ancient poems about family rules and mottos

Translation of "Family Instructions" in classical Chinese

Translation of "Family Instructions" by Jiang Duanyou:

Ordinary people know the origin of food when eating. Grain food is the hard work of farmers who sow and harvest. Process, it grows when the weather between heaven and earth is favorable, and then it is not easy to make something raw into something mature. The delicious taste of meat comes from the killing of animals. The suffering is indescribable. Thinking about it really makes people unable to bear to eat it, not to mention the disgust of choosing between good and bad? After a person has eaten a full meal, no matter whether it is delicacies or weeds, they are all regarded as rotten things. Therefore, no matter how rich your family is, you still need to be frugal, and your mouth should be able to fill your stomach, and you will be self-sufficient. You must know that there are countless people outside the door. There are people who work hard but can't get a full meal. There are people who are hungry all day long but can't get food. I just sit back and enjoy the food without any work. How can I have any choice! If you can do this, not only will you have fewer desires and be easily satisfied, but it will also be a great help for your studies. I once said that if you want to learn the Tao, you should first work hard and eat lightly. Not many people can live a long life directly in life. Moreover, they will pass away in a moment, so they should not use this time to learn the Tao, restore their true nature, and return to their original nature. , and only know how to satisfy the desires of the belly and fatten this body, this is really a life spent in vain. After dinner, if you have nothing to do, just read one or two chapters in classics, history, and literature, which is beneficial to people. This is better than using your mind elsewhere.

When communicating with others, you should choose upright and elegant people. If you interact too much, you will regret it in the end. Moreover, if you stay with those people for a long time and are influenced by them, it is impossible to want to be a sage throughout your life. When talking about others, don't get too deep into their rights and wrongs. You should think about it and know who they are and who they are. Playing chess is an elegant game. It can be said that there is no harm in playing. Don't laugh unrestrainedly with women to destroy your own will. This is the last thing you can do. Since you don't respect yourself, you will definitely be despised by knowledgeable people. Human beings, as human beings, all the despises caused by others are self-inflicted. You must remember this!

The original text of Jiang Duanyou's "Family Instructions":

It is not easy to know the origin of food, grains, and crops. . The taste of meat kills lives, and its suffering is so painful that the thought of it makes one not want to eat. How about excessive choice of likes and dislikes, and anger? After a full meal, the eight delicacies and grasses are all rotten. If the family is rich and frugal, they can satisfy their hunger and they will be self-sufficient. There are countless poor people outside the door, some who work hard but can't get enough to eat, and some who are hungry all day long but can't get enough to eat. I have nothing to do but sit down and eat, so I can have more choices. If you can do this, not only will you be able to satisfy your desires easily, but you will also be able to learn more. I have said that if you want to learn the Tao, you should first overcome the hardships and eat lightly. There is no way to live long in life. If it happens in the interim, it will be a world away. If you don’t learn the Tao at this time, you will revert to your original nature and just be nothing. Taking care of food and drink, nourishing the body, can be said to be a human being in vain. When I have nothing to eat, I slowly read one or two passages in the classics, history, and literature. They are all beneficial to people and are better than others.

When socializing with others, it is advisable to choose elegant people. If you crossbreed, you will eventually regret it, and it will change with it over time. If you want to be a good person throughout your life, you will not get it.

Don't get too deep into other people's rights and wrongs when discussing. Just understand each other's opinions and know what they are doing. Playing chess and playing elegant games is like saying there is no harm, it is not as good as a woman, laughing without restraint, defeating a person's will, this is the most unacceptable thing. If you don't respect yourself, you will be underestimated by the conscious people. As a human being, everything you underestimate is taken by yourself. You are determined. 5. An ancient poem about observing family rules and promoting family tradition

In life, there are no virtuous fathers and brothers, and there are no strict teachers and friends outside. However, few people can succeed.

--Written by Lu Gong of the Song Dynasty People leave their children and grandchildren with wealth, but I leave my children and grandchildren with innocence. - "Liang Shu·Zhou Shexu Mian Biography" Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't work for your children and grandchildren.

-- "The Story of Fishermen and Woodcutter" by Anonymous Yuan Dynasty Children are the ones who create the industry, not the ones who inherit the inheritance. --Tao Xingzhi, "How to Choose Books" Anyone who doesn't love himself is really unqualified to be a father.

--Lu Xun's "How should we be fathers now" Wealth has no righteousness, but brings disaster to the family. -- "Ancient and Modern Books Auxiliary Households in Dianjujuanjiaodian and Dongmao Collection·Family Model Code" Don't have any suspicion, don't listen to divisive words, don't do anything about making a living, don't take advantage of the public affairs.

-- "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books·Family Model" Those who plan to gain wealth for their descendants will lose nine times out of ten. --Song Dynasty Lin Bu's "Saving Heart Record" Thank you. 6. The Yan Family Instructions in Classical Chinese

The book of the husband’s sages and sages teaches people to be honest and filial, to be cautious in their words and traces, and to establish themselves and become famous. They are also ready.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, various scholars have repeated their theories and repeated things, passing on the sage-mold theory. The reason why I am doing this again now is because I don’t dare to follow the rules of the world. I have already organized the house and raised my descendants.

If a husband agrees with his words and believes in his relatives; if he acts with the same instructions, he will do what he obeys. If you forbid the violent ways of children, then the commandments of teachers and friends are not as good as the command of Fu and maidservants; if you stop the fighting of mortals, then the ways of Yao and Shun are not as good as the instructions of widows.

I hope that this book will be believed by you and Cao, and that it will be more virtuous than the ears of Fu's maid and widowed wife. (Already Tong: Yi) My family's customs have always been strict and rigorous. In the past, when I was in the war, I was taught by others.

Every time I follow the two brothers, they are warm and gentle at dawn and evening, walking in a regular manner, speaking calmly and calmly, and sounding like a stern monarch. Give good words, ask what you like, encourage others to learn from others, and do it with sincerity.

When he was nine years old, he was born with tea leaves, his family was separated, and his whole family was in despair. A kind brother has raised me, worked hard and worked hard. He is kind but not powerful, and his guidance is not thorough.

Although I read "Li" and "Zhuan", I love literature a little, which is quite influenced by ordinary people. Want to speak lightly and without any trimming.

When I was eighteen or nineteen years old, I rarely knew how to work hard, and if my habits were natural, I would never be able to wash them away. After twenty, it is too rare to be too big.

I often have a rivalry between my heart and my mouth, my sex and emotions are in competition, I wake up late at night, I regret what I lost yesterday, I feel sorry for myself and I have no education, which leads to this. The fingers of recalling the past are etched in the flesh and bones; they are not based on the commandments of ancient books, which pass through the eyes and ears.

Therefore, I leave these twenty articles as a reminder for you. There are still twenty articles left. If you need translation and original text, please ask~.
