?Traditional Chinese family mottos?

Zhang Ying · "Make way throughout life without losing size"

There is an ancient saying: "Make way throughout life without losing size." "The Lao family regarded surrender as a treasure, and the Zuo family said: "Rang is the foundation of virtue."

In the midst of life, I believe in the world's words, but it will not last long, but it will be more in the future. What’s more, that’s not the case.

Who has no conscience, right and wrong? Kui's way of heaven has the meaning of full loss and virtual gain; Kui's ghosts and gods have the meaning of loss and blessing.

Since ancient times, we have only heard that forbearance and concession can eliminate endless disasters and regrets, but we have never heard that forbearance and concession can cause future disasters.

If you want to practice tolerance, you must first start with small things.

I was assigned to the Ministry of Punishment for fifty days, and I saw big lawsuits and jails all over the world, mostly starting from very trivial matters. A gentleman respects small things and is cautious, and always knows how to deal with small matters.

Yu Xing is more than fifty years old and has never been insulted by villains in his life. He only has one good strategy: to turn around early. Whenever I think about things in the world, if I am stingy, I will not suffer the big one. If I suffer a small loss, I will not suffer a big loss. This is the most effective thing in my life.

The last thing you should do is to take advantage of others. Confucius said: "Those who act on the basis of profit will suffer too much resentment."

People in the world will fight over those who have advantages. If I hold on to it alone, I will be patient; if I lose my advantage, all the resentment will disappear. Therefore, if you lose advantages throughout your life, you will gain advantages throughout your life.

Translation of family motto

The ancients said: "If you give way throughout your life, you will not waste a hundred steps; if you give way throughout your life, you will not lose a step." What Lao Tzu said when he "dare not be the first for the world" is that Kind of humility and non-dispute; "Zuo Zhuan" also believes that humility is a kind of virtue.

It is normal for neighbors and villagers to have frictions with each other, but it is very wrong to condone this trend and allow it to develop and grow.

When you go through life, you cannot ignore the laws of nature and conscience. You should not distinguish between right and wrong, and you must know how to be humble. It is the way of heaven to be full of harm, but to be humble and gain benefits; when ghosts and gods harm you, you will be humble, and when human beings are full of evil, you will be humble. This is the same principle.

From ancient times to the present, I have only heard that tolerance can eliminate disasters, but I have never heard that tolerance has brought disaster to anyone.

If we want to learn tolerance, we must start with small things.

I once served in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and saw many shocking cases, which actually all developed from very small things. A true gentleman always maintains a prudent attitude even when dealing with trivial matters. He handles things at their incipient stage and does not let them develop in a bad direction.

I have been treated maliciously by many villains in my life, but I always have only one good idea, which is to change my thoughts and mentality.

Thinking about things in the world, as long as we can tolerate being stingy, we will not suffer from being arrogant, and as long as we are willing to suffer small losses, we will not suffer big losses.

Everyone in the world loves to take advantage. If I take it by myself, people will resent me; if I don’t take it, no one will resent me. Therefore, if you don’t pursue profit throughout your life, you will actually benefit from it throughout your life.

Appreciation of family mottos

The late Eastern Han Dynasty said " Cao Cao, who had an extremely self-motivated saying that "I would rather betray others than others betray me", also quoted the proverb "give an inch of courtesy and receive a foot of courtesy" as a government decree, which shows the importance of tolerance in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

There was a dispute between the old Zhang family in Tongcheng and their neighbors over their housing estate. The family wrote to Zhang Ying asking for support, and Zhang Ying replied with a Qi Jue poem:

"Thousands of miles of building books just for the wall, let me It doesn't matter if he is three feet tall; the Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang is nowhere to be seen."

There is another version of this poem: "The paper is just a wall, so it doesn't matter if the canal is only an inch wide." Du has planned for thousands of years, but now he can see the wall but not the king."?

Being optimistic and generous, family members will wake up after receiving the book and be courteous to their neighbors. The neighbors were greatly moved when they saw this and gave up San Chi. From then on, the remains of "Liu Chi Alley" were left in Tongcheng for visitors to marvel at.

Zhang Tingyu (1672-1755), the son of Zhang Ying, served as an official for three dynasties, from an official to a bachelor. He was by no means as arrogant as the ordinary "second generation officials" or "second generation rich", and his reputation was even better than that of his father. After his death, he became the only Han official in the Qing Dynasty who was worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The strict and effective tutoring of ancient wise ministers can be seen clearly!?
