Stories about frugality:

There was a high-ranking official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty named Wu Yinzhi. His father died when he was young, and he and his mother lived a hard life, developing the habit of being diligent, thrifty and simple. After becoming an official, he still hated luxury and refused to move into the official residence prepared for him by the court. For many years, his family only lived in a few thatched houses. Later, when his daughter got married, people thought he would take care of it, but on the big day, the Wu family was still deserted. General Xie Shi's housekeeper came to congratulate him and saw a servant walking out with a dog. The housekeeper asked: "Your young lady is getting married today, why are there no preparations at all?" The servant frowned and said, "Don't mention it, my master is too frugal. The young lady is getting married today, and the master only ordered the preparations last night. I thought I thought it was time for the owner to spend some money, but the owner actually asked me to go to the market this morning to sell the dog and use the money from selling the dog to buy things. Let me see how much a dog can be sold for. Common people marry their daughters in a more elegant manner than my master!" The housekeeper sighed: "Everyone says that Mr. Wu is a rare upright official, and it seems that he really deserves his reputation."

A gentleman is frugal. Overcome difficulties.

Source: "Book of Changes". 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".

It is important to be diligent in national affairs and frugal in 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 he passed through many houses but never entered.

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 will not lead to shortage. Source: "Zuo Zhuan·Xuan Gong Twelve Years".

The livelihood of ordinary people depends on hard work. Only if they work hard will 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 did not 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 fillings. 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 meal on the plate is hard work". Looking back at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success was achieved through diligence and frugality, and failure was caused by extravagance.

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 coveting luxury and enjoyment. Their ultimate fate must be the decline of their business and the demise of their country.

This is the 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 to defeat all his opponents and proclaimed himself 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, refrain 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 Jianshi 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. Short stories and famous quotes about the virtues of diligence, thrift and thrift

"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.

"This famous sentence from Zhu Bolu's "Zhu Xi's Maxims on Family Governance [1]" of the Ming Dynasty should be engraved in everyone's mind forever. "Looking at the countries and families of the past dynasties, success was caused by diligence and frugality, and failure was caused by extravagance. "This poem by Li Shangyin, a poet of the Tang Dynasty's graceful school, is not "graceful". It sums up the great significance of frugality to the country and the family in one sentence. King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, in the meat forest wine pool, smiled for his favored concubine Da Ji, and he did not hesitate to tear thousands of silks. Silk means that the Yin Dynasty will be destroyed; Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal to Jiangdu in order to see Qionghua, and exhausted the people's power to build a palace, causing 36 smoke and dust and 72 families to rebel against the king; the Queen Mother of the Western Qing Dynasty paid a thousand taels of silver for a meal, and "measured China" "The material resources and the happiness of the country", how can the people not rebel, how can the Qing Dynasty not be destroyed?

"The country gains it through frugality, but loses it through luxury", frugality not only benefits the country and the family Benefits, and are closely related to personal gains and losses. For example: "Frugality can help you build a family, and frugality can help you build a good life." Wang Anshi has a deeper understanding of this. His "after all the luxury is successful, there will be both happiness and peace of mind." It should be the motto of many dignitaries. But there are times when greed cannot be defeated by this warning. Wang Baosen, Cheng Kejie, Hu Changqing, Li Zhen and others are all leaders of arrogance and extravagance. If they can learn from the wise ministers of Shu. Zhuge Kongming said, "Quietness is used to cultivate one's character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue." How did he end up like this? In the same way, the "Biography of the Concubines" in the history of the Ming Dynasty said: "Pride and indulgence arise from luxury, and danger arises from triviality." Xu Xu in the Qing Dynasty Rong said: "The temples on the street have ragged feet and shabby bodies, half of the extravagant people of the past. "They all point out the dangers of extravagance and waste and the importance of frugality from the opposite side.

A British proverb often said by Queen Elizabeth II is "Save pennies and pounds will come." She personally speaks every night late at night Turning off the lights in the small halls and corridors of Buckingham Palace, she insisted on squeezing out the toothpaste used by the royal family. Known as "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and where there is a road, there must be a Toyota car". Japan's Toyota Company has never changed its cost management. Start little by little, replace labor gloves one by one if they are torn, use the front side of office paper and put a brick in the toilet water tank to save water. It is amazing that a famous multinational company has such a strong awareness of conservation.
