The word peace is the main word in running a family.
This is a sentence written by Qian Yong, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, in "Lv Yuan Cong Hua: Managing the Family".
Heine has a famous saying: I would rather organize a happy family with a small cup of truth, goodness and beauty than a boring family with several large pieces of boat furniture.
Harmony is the ultimate destination of the family and the ultimate goal of family members' efforts. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how little you have. A happy family life is what money can't buy.
If a family has one heart, it will have money to buy gold; if a family has two hearts, it will have no money to buy needles.
This sentence came from the mouth of Xu Wei, a talented man in the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Wei, who was born a commoner, lacked the love of his parents since he was a child, and was separated from his biological mother when he was less than ten years old. Although I live in my own home, I often feel like I am living under someone else’s roof.
Because of this, Xu Wei has his own views and insights on family.
A happy family always thinks in one place and works hard in one place. A family is like a small society. Only when everyone works together can they make a difference.
Avoid litigation at home, as litigation will lead to disaster; avoid talking too much in life, as talking too much will lead to mistakes.
From Zhu Bolu's "Zhu Xi's Family Instructions".
No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot withstand the torment of quarrels. We often say, "Too many words lead to misunderstandings."
During the quarrel, each other cannot control their emotions and say bad words to each other, which will cause rifts in the relationship.
If you talk too much, you will always get into trouble. If there are too many quarrels, the family will sometimes fall apart.
I am born between heaven and earth, and my only priority is to be a human being. Everything else does not matter.
A famous quote from Gao Panlong's "The Gao Family Instructions" of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether in the family or in society, character is the most important.
A good family tradition means learning to be a good person. Parents are children's mirrors and first teachers.
In family life, parents must set an example for their children. Don’t cheat, don’t be violent, and let your children understand the principles of life through your actual actions.
If you hide your essence in obscurity, you will be clear; if you keep your mind in silence, you will be at peace.
Ouyang Xiu's famous saying in "Shizi".
Be honest on the outside but shrewd on the inside. A little confusion in life is the great wisdom.
Family members should also be a little more confused when getting along with each other. Things in the world are never so clear-cut as black and white.
Family is a place of love. There are no unsolvable feuds or obstacles that cannot be overcome between family members.
Although a person is extremely stupid, he will be wise if he blames others; although he is smart, he will be dimmed if he forgives himself.
From "History of Song Dynasty·Biography of Fan Chunren".
No matter how stupid a person is, he always understands when blaming others; no matter how smart a person is, he is confused when looking at his own problems.
Be strict with yourself and be lenient with others. In family life, don’t just see other people’s shortcomings, but be considerate.
The husband understands his wife’s hard work, and the wife understands her husband’s pressure. Parents understand their children and children respect their elders. This is true harmony.
People who are good at behavior respect themselves, not necessarily because of their appearance; people who are good at talent respect themselves, not necessarily because of their words.
Yuan Cai's "Yuan Family Model" of the Song Dynasty.
A person with high moral character will naturally be respected by people; a person with outstanding talents will naturally be convincing.
A person must be genuine. There is no need to put on a show in family life, and there is no need to brag in front of family members. True feelings are revealed naturally from the inside out.
Those who are poor and humble but cannot live without them are chastity; those who are rich and noble but cannot live without are full of spirit.
A sentence from Fang Xiaoru's "Family Proverbs" in the Ming Dynasty.
No matter you are poor or rich, integrity and fighting spirit cannot be lost. If a family wants to thrive, family members must have fighting spirit and be positive about life.
Families that muddle along, live lifelessly, and have no pursuits are unlikely to have a bright future.
Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans.
From "Warring States Policy: Touching the Dragon and Talking about the Queen Mother Zhao"
There are no parents in the world who do not love their children, but love must pay attention to methods.
As a parent, you should not just look at the present, but also have long-term plans for your children. Don't let your children lose their ability to face the future on their own because of doting on them.
The deepest love a parent has for a child is to let him go silently after he learns to walk.
The two words of heirloom are reading and farming. The two words that make a family prosperous are frugality and diligence. The two words of settling down are giving and forbearing.
Family happiness must be created by hard-working hands. The harder you work, the more you get.
But it is not enough to be diligent but not frugal, and it is not enough to eat and drink extravagantly. For a family to prosper in the long run, it must be frugal.
When the spoon touches the edge of the pot, conflicts and frictions will inevitably arise between family members. At this time, tolerance and tolerance are needed.
