Mean marriage will not last long; Lun Chang is a good boy and will die soon.
Brothers and uncles must be divided into many embellishments; Young and old, both inside and outside, should be strict with themselves.
Listen to the woman say, dear flesh and blood, is it a husband? If you value wealth and ignore your parents, you can't be the son of human beings.
Marry a woman, choose a good husband, and do not seek re-employment; It's not too thick to marry a daughter-in-law and beg a lady.

Listen to the speech lightly, be aware of unreasonable complaints, and think twice patiently;
If you argue about something, you must think calmly.
Don't forget to help without thinking.
Leave room for everything and be proud of it.
People are happy, not jealous; People should not be happy when they are in trouble.
The good that you want to be seen by others is not true, and the evil that you are afraid of being known is the great evil.
Seeing the color, I reported my wife and daughter; Hide resentment with arrows in the back, delaying future generations.
Family harmony, although embarrassing, is also full of joy;
The Chinese class ended in the morning, but there was nothing left. I was complacent.
Reading is aimed at sages, not disciples; If you are an official, you will keep your country.
Keep quiet and listen to the weather forecast. If you do this, you will be very close.
It is generally believed that Zhu Zi's Family Instructions was written by Zhu Bailu. However, some people think that Family Instructions was written by Zhu in the Southern Song Dynasty, which may be based on the original title of Family Instructions written by some materials. "Ziyang" is another name for Zhu.
Zhu Zi, Zhu Yongchun (1627 ~ 1698), was born in Kunshan County, Jiangsu Province in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. A famous philosopher and educator.
Zhu Yongchun has never been an official. He has been teaching in the countryside all his life, attending primary schools for scholars, recording recent thoughts and so on. For teaching, I wrote dozens of textbooks in plain code. He devoted himself to the study of Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, advocated that knowledge and practice should go hand in hand, and put it into practice. Kangxi, Xu Fang and Yang are also known as "Three Masters in Wuzhong". He is the author of The Book of Changes, Notes on Four Books, Notes on the Spring and Autumn Period and Five Dynasties, Sleepiness Record, Shame Collection, No Deception Record, Family Management Motto and so on. Family Motto, also known as Zhu Zi's Family Instructions, Zhu Zi's Family Instructions and Zhu Bailu's Family Instructions, is his masterpiece.
Second, Zhu Dui's family instructions
original text
What the monarch cherishes is benevolence. I value loyalty. What my father cherishes is kindness. Filial piety is also the most precious thing for children. Brothers' friends are the people you value. Everyone my brother loves is respected. What a husband values is harmony. The person a woman loves is soft. Being a teacher is more expensive than being polite, and making friends is more expensive than believing. When you meet your elders, you should respect them; See young people and love them. I will respect those noble people, although they are younger than me; Unscrupulous people, although older than me, I will stay away from them. Be careful not to talk about other people's shortcomings or praise your own merits. Revenge with righteousness, sue directly, and be satisfied with what you encounter. People are too small to tolerate; If a person has made a big mistake, he should speak out rationally. Don't do it because of small goodness, and don't do it because of small evils. If people have evil, they must hide it; If a person has goodness, he must publicize it. Have no enmity with the world, and be selfless in managing your family. Don't be selfish and hurt others, and don't be jealous of talents. Don't say that you are angry and report disobedience, and you don't want see no evil, which is not good for others. Don't take ill-gotten gains, take them reasonably Poetry and books must be read, and etiquette and righteousness must be known. Children and grandchildren must be taught, and children and servants must be kind. Gentle people will be disrespectful, and those in adversity will help. Those who keep my points are also polite; Those who listen to my orders, heaven also. If people can do this, so can heaven. This is a daily routine. If clothes are to the body and diet is to the mouth, clothes are indispensable for a day, but they can be sloppy! (Excerpted from Ziyang Zhujiapu)

As a monarch, the most important thing is to have a kind heart. As a courtier, the most important thing is loyalty. Being a father, the most important thing is kindness; As a child, the most important thing is filial piety. As brothers, the most important thing is to love your brothers and sisters; As a sister, you should respect your brother.

For those who misbehave, although they are older than me, we should stay away from them.
Never talk about other people's shortcomings, and don't think that it's great to be convinced of your own advantages. If you are interested in people, the solution lies in checking whether you are on the moral side; For those who hate themselves, treat them with a normal heart. No matter what kind of environment you encounter, you should accept it frankly. Others have small mistakes, so be tolerant; If someone makes a big mistake, you should tell him in a correct and reasonable way. Don't think it's just a small good thing and don't do it, let alone a small bad thing and do it boldly. We should help others cover up their shortcomings (when facing others); The advantages of others should be publicized for him. You shouldn't make enemies with others for personal reasons; When managing the family, we should pay more attention not to be unfair because of selfishness. Don't do things that harm others and benefit yourself, and don't be jealous. If something goes wrong, don't be angry, but make a quick decision; Don't violate the normal code of conduct and hurt other objects. If there is an improper opportunity to make a fortune, you should give it up; When you meet something reasonable, you might as well do it.
Classics handed down by ancient sages cannot be read; We should know the reasonable norms and correct attitude towards life. For future generations, we must attach importance to education; For servants, you must be considerate and concerned. Thousands of years of cultural traditions must be respected; We must support each other in the face of disasters. Keeping one's duty must depend on understanding the basic norms of being a man; The fate of our lives is decided by God. If a person can do the above, God will certainly come to help. These basic principles can be achieved everywhere in daily life. Just as clothes are to the body and diet is to the mouth, you are indispensable every day. How can we not pay attention to these basic principles of life?
Zhu Zi and Zhu (1 130 ~ 1200) were thinkers in the Southern Song Dynasty. The word "Hui" was born in Wuyuan, Huizhou (now Jiangxi). In the eighteenth year of Shaoxing (1 148), he was a scholar. He was born in Gaozong, Xiaozong, Guangzong and Ningzong Dynasties and died in the sixth year of Qingyuan.
Zhu is a master of Neo-Confucianism since the Northern Song Dynasty and was regarded as an authentic Neo-Confucianism in ancient times. He was the most influential thinker in the late feudal society of China, and later generations regarded him as a master of Confucianism. His thoughts and theories became the official philosophy of China from the Yuan Dynasty, which not only profoundly influenced China's traditional ideology and culture, but also spread abroad and had a considerable impact.
