1. Li Shangyin's "Ode to History"

Looking at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success was caused by diligence and frugality, and failure was caused by extravagance.

Why do you need amber to be a pillow? Why don’t you need a real pearl to be a chariot?

You will never see a Qinghai horse when you are far away, and you will never pull out a Shushan snake if you are too weak.

Several people have prepared the music of Nanxun, and in the end the blue sky cries the green flowers.

Notes: ① This article is titled "Ode to History" and is actually a work mourning the death of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty. The poem was written after the death of Wenzong in the first month of the fifth year of Kaicheng. ② According to "Han Feizi·Ten Guo", Duke Mu of Qin asked the ancient Ming Dynasty master why he won and lost his country, and Yu Yu replied: "I have tasted it and heard it. I often gained it with frugality and lost it with extravagance." ③ Shen Yue " According to "Book of the Song Dynasty", when Emperor Wu was in Ningzhou, he presented an amber pillow. During the Northern Expedition, amber was needed to treat gold sores, so he ordered it to be crushed and divided into pieces. ④ "Historical Records: Tian Jingzhong Wansijia": King Hui of Wei boasted to King Wei of Qi that he had "pearls with an inch diameter, ten of which can illuminate the twelve chariots at the front and back." "Zhao Qianli, there are twelve chariots!" Dezhen: Complete Poetry School: "A work to be cherished." 5. Qinghai horse: a hybrid horse produced in Qinghai Lake. It is said that it can travel thousands of miles in a day, which is a metaphor for a talented person who can be responsible for military and national affairs.

Appreciation: In this poem, based on the historical facts of the rise and fall of history, the poet summarizes it as "looking at the virtuous countries and families in the past, the success was caused by diligence and frugality, and the failure was caused by luxury." These clear attitudes of using the past to draw lessons from the present contain profound intentions and are more conscious and complete than previous understandings. Regarding the issue of who depends on who rises and falls, although Li Shangyin was limited by the times and could only tie the lifeline of Li Chao to the emperors, most of his poems accused them of bringing chaos to the country. Therefore this kind of revelation is more progressive.

2. "Shang Shu·Dayu Mo"

Diligence is at the heart of the state, thrift is at the heart of the family.

Translation: Work tirelessly for national affairs and live frugally at home.

Note: Be diligent in the country: refers to doing your best for the cause of water control. Be frugal at home: live frugally at home.

3. "Compassion for the Farmers" by Li Shen

It was noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat was dripping from the soil. Who knew that every grain of the meal was hard work.

Translation:

Farmers were hoeing under the scorching sun at noon, and sweat dripped from their bodies onto the land where the seedlings grew. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate was earned by farmers through hard work?

Notes: 1. Compassion: mercy. There is sympathy here. The first poem is "Two Ancient Style Poems". The order of these two poems varies in each version. ⑵Millet: generally refers to cereals. ⑶Autumn Harvest: One is "Autumn Harvest". Zi: refers to grain particles. ⑷Sihai: refers to the whole country. Idle fields: fields that are not cultivated. ⑸Yu: Still. 2. What are the ancient poems with the theme of "thrift"?

1. Stay under Wusong Mountain, Xunni's family Tang Li Bai

I stay under Wusong Mountain,

Lonely and joyless.

The Tian family’s autumn work is bitter,

The neighbor’s daughter is cold at night.

Kneel down and dig into the carved rice,

The moonlight shines on the plain plate.

It makes people feel ashamed,

I cannot eat without thanking you three times.

A gentleman uses frugality to overcome difficulties.

2. "Compassion for the Farmers" by Li Shen of the Tang Dynasty

Plant one grain of millet in spring,

Harvest ten thousand grains in autumn.

There is no idle land in the world,

Farmers are still starving to death.

3. "The Fisherman on the River" by Fan Zhongyan in the Northern Song Dynasty

People who come and go on the river,

You see a boat,

Li Shangyin's "Ode to History"

Looking at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success was caused by diligence and frugality, but luxury was broken down.

Why does amber need to be used as a pillow, and how can a real pearl be used as a chariot?

It is impossible to find a Qinghai horse when transporting, and it is difficult to pull out a Shushan snake if you are poor.

Several people have pre-recorded the song of Nanxun, and finally the blue sky cries the green flowers. 4. Ancient poems about frugality (10)

A gentleman uses frugality to overcome difficulties.

Source: "Book of Changes·No". A careless gentleman uses the virtue of frugality to avoid danger.

Tips that "The Book of Changes" contains simple dialectical thinking, and there are many places that explain the principles of changes in things. This sentence contains dialectical thinking.

On the one hand, elucidating the virtue of frugality helps to nip problems in the bud and prevent extravagance and corruption; on the other hand, when facing crises, especially when facing difficulties of material scarcity, having frugality Virtues help overcome crises. The author of "The Book of Changes" believes that everything in the world has its smooth and unsmooth times, and its smooth and unsmooth times. When it is not smooth and unyielding, it is necessary to cultivate one's moral character and not over-express oneself in order to tide over the difficulties.

Be diligent in your country and be frugal in your family. Source: "Shang Shu Dayu Mo".

Be diligent in your national career and be frugal in your family life. It reminds us that diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of our people.

The legendary ancient sages all did this, and they devoted themselves to national affairs. Dayu worked diligently in the great cause of flood control and passed through many houses without entering.

Yao was particularly concerned about the masses and believed that when others were hungry and cold, it was because he did not do his job well and it was his own fault. The ancient sages lived a very frugal life. They often wore coarse clothes, ate coarse rice, and drank wild vegetable soup.

Because Yao, Shun, and Yu were diligent and frugal in their careers and lives, they won the support of the people. Frugality is the greatest virtue; extravagance is the greatest evil.

Source: "Zuo Zhuan·The Twenty-Fourth Year of Duke Zhuang". Being careless and frugal is the greatest virtue among good deeds; luxury is the greatest evil among evil deeds.

It reminds me that Duke Zhuang of Lu ordered people to paint red paint on the pillars of the temple and carve patterns on the rafters. These are extravagant and illegal things.

When the doctor Yusun admonished him, he said this and pointed out that doing so actually injects "great evil" into the "great virtue" of the ancestors. Not only does it fail to please the ancestors, but it insults them.

It can be seen that the ancients viewed frugality from the perspective of etiquette standards and virtue, while regarding extravagance and waste as a vice. Today, with great material abundance, abstaining from extravagance and being frugal, and not wasting money are still virtues worthy of our admiration.

People's livelihood depends on diligence, and diligence means nothing. Source: "Zuo Zhuan·Xuan Gong Twelve Years".

The livelihood of ordinary people depends on hard work. Only if they work hard can they not be short of money. Cue this is an old adage.

The ancients understood that as long as the people work hard and the society is stable, the people and the country will become rich. We should still maintain the virtue of diligence and work hard in our respective positions. In this way, the country will be more prosperous and the people's lives will be richer.

Thrift leads to prosperity, while immorality leads to ruin. Source: "Mozi Ci Guo".

If you are careless and frugal, you will prosper; if you are careless and hedonistic, you will be ruined. Tip: Among the scholars of the pre-Qin period, Mozi was famous for his willingness to live an ascetic-like life.

He hated the rulers' arrogance and extravagance, and advocated frugality. He publicized his views everywhere and attracted a large number of people to become his disciples, making him unique among the pre-Qin scholars.

It is noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who would have thought that every meal on the plate is hard work?

Source: Li Shen's "Compassion for the Farmers". The careless farmer was hoeing under the scorching sun at noon, and drops of sweat fell on the soil where the seedlings grew.

Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is obtained with such hard work. It reminds me that the language of this poem is simple but the connotation is profound.

There is a story that a rich man's son didn't know how difficult it was to farm. He often went to a restaurant to eat dumplings, but he would spit out all the dumpling wrappers and only eat the meat filling. Later, his home suffered a fire and Lilou Meige was razed to the ground overnight. He became a beggar and had to go to this restaurant to beg for food. The owner served him dumpling wrappers, which moved him deeply.

The boss said, "You're welcome. These are the skins you threw away. I just picked them up and dried them in the sun." The rich man's son was very ashamed. Later, he worked hard and lived frugally, and his family became prosperous again.

This story also confirms the truth of "who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work". Looking back at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success was achieved by diligence and frugality, and failure was achieved by luxury.

Source: Li Shangyin's "Ode to History". Throughout history, whether it's a country or a family, they all prospered through diligence and frugality and died from extravagance.

Tips: Throughout the ages, most successful entrepreneurs have gone through a stage of hard work, so they pay more attention to thrift. But for entrepreneurs, it is just the opposite. They have not experienced the hardships of starting a business and are prone to covet luxury and enjoyment. Their ultimate fate must be the decline of their business and the demise of their country.

This is a truth revealed by thousands of years of history. Worry and labor can rejuvenate a country, while leisure can lead to death.

Source: "New History of the Five Dynasties: Preface to the Biography of Lingguan". Being careless and worrying about state affairs can make the country prosperous, while pursuing ease and enjoyment can lead to one's own destruction.

Reminds Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties, that he worked hard at the beginning and defeated all his opponents to become emperor. But later he indulged in music and opera, doted on actors, and did not want to make progress. His subordinates caused rebellion, and actors launched revolts. He died in a military rebellion after three years in office.

When Ouyang Xiu wrote "The Biography of Lingguan", he was inspired by this period of history and elaborated on the principle that "worry and labor can rejuvenate a country, while leisure and leisure can destroy one's life." Chinese culture has a strong sense of urgency, especially when the country is in turmoil and the people are in dire straits.

Confucius said, "If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries." Mencius said, "Be born in worries and die in peace and happiness." They emphasized the importance of maintaining a sense of worry from the perspectives of individuals and the country respectively. Even during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng advised the emperor to "be prepared for danger in times of peace, abstain from extravagance and be frugal" in order to achieve long-term peace and stability.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Source: Sima Guang's "Exercise Jian Xi Kang".

It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, but it is very difficult to change from luxury to frugality. It reminds me that this is what Sima Guang quoted from others to teach his descendants.

It emphasizes the need to consciously maintain frugality and avoid extravagance, and contains the meaning of self-encouragement and warning to the world. Everyone wants to live a good life, and this is understandable.

But excessive luxury is not advisable, and this pursuit is never-ending. King Zhou of Shang used a pair of ivory chopsticks, and his ministers were about to run away. The reason was that they saw that King Zhou's greed would be unstoppable.

Therefore, persisting in frugality requires the ability to have self-discipline. 5. Ancient famous sayings about frugality
