Inspiration: As I get older, things increase, and sometimes I feel easy to get tired and sleepy, and my attention and memory will weaken. I should learn from Ceng Zi and cultivate my morality. In addition, Ceng Zi's absolute respect for his elders and pure filial piety are worth learning.
2. "However, most of those who are officials in Beijing have borrowed from the east and borrowed from the west. When there is no abundance, there is no need to worry at home" (Daoguang wrote to his grandfather on June 29, 21)
Enlightenment: the life of civil servants in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty was also very poor. What is the pillar of the country? Beams may not be rich, but they are probably the poorest. We must be able to withstand poverty, resist temptation, stick to the bottom line, persist in practice, and be sincere.
3. "In order to learn, such as cooking meat, you must first cook it with strong fire, and then warm it with slow fire" (Daoguang quoted Zhu Xi's famous saying with his brothers on September 18, 22)
Inspiration: It has greatly inspired my recent sports and work. When running, slowly accelerate and fully warm up, then start the "fierce fire" and speed up the running for a while. When the sweat surges, you can change to "slow fire" and keep the sweat flowing out at a high intensity only at a speed close to walking. As for the work, when you are unfamiliar, it seems that you have to make up for it. When you get familiar with it, you can use "slow fire", and very little energy will produce good results.
4. "There is no other way to seek the essence of one's career, but to be expert" (written by Daoguang and his brothers on September 18, 22)
Inspiration: It reminds me of a sentence by Liang Qichao, "I am shocked by paying too much attention in this life, but only by not being single-minded". It is better to dig one pit than to dig 1 shallow pits. To do things and learn, you must be "expert".
5. "Handwritten instructions to save labor, abstinence, and diet, please remember at that time" (Daoguang wrote to his parents on October 26, 22)
Inspiration: I suddenly thought of Tao's guidance. Pay attention to priorities when doing work, and arrange work and life time reasonably. Be awed by food and get rid of the fat on your stomach within six months.
6. "If you can work hard to stand on your own feet, you can study in your home school, that is, in the wilderness, in the bustling place, or in the paid herdsman. If you can't work hard to stand on your own feet, your family school is not suitable for studying, that is, you can't study in a clean country or a fairy land. Why choose a place? Why choose the time? But it's not true to ask yourself! " (Daoguang wrote to his brothers on October 26th, 22nd)
Inspiration: whether you are studying or doing things, don't work hard subjectively, don't make excuses, and don't choose the right time and place. What really drives you to do is your firm ambition, your understanding of the importance, necessity and urgency of things. Be good at determination, establish long-term stability, don't always be determined, and really do something.
