In Family Instructions, Zhu emphasized the importance of the four traditional values of "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame" and paid attention to carrying forward the excellent cultural traditions of the Chinese nation. In his view, a person's lofty virtue should first start from himself, starting from small things, such as paying attention to words, gfd, being polite to others, being loyal and friendly to elders and so on. He believes that only by doing these little things well can we establish a good family style and cultivate future generations who are well-behaved, have both ability and political integrity.
Zhu Zi's Family Instructions emphasizes the importance of family education and holds that family is the first base for cultivating children. He encouraged parents to popularize knowledge, establish rules, limit time, cultivate children's hobbies, and let children develop good habits in a learning atmosphere. Zhu believes that children are kind by nature, and parents should set a good example for their children, teach them to pursue truth, goodness and beauty, and constantly sublimate their own character and spirit. Only through the authentic inheritance of family education can we inherit the spiritual temperament of the family, safeguard the dignity of the family and inherit the cultural genes of the Chinese nation.
