Perhaps due to the close contact with the sun, the Sumen Stele Corridor in the afternoon seemed particularly ancient and intimate.

There are two stele walls erected in the courtyard. The south one is the Qianlong imperial stele, and the north one is the Wudaotong stele. The first one is about the reconstruction of Puzhao Temple. The writing has been blurred, but the following four stele have clear inscriptions. It is engraved with the "Motto of Family Governance" written by Zhu Bolu, a famous scholar during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The stele "Motto for Managing a Family" is 1.94 meters high and 0.58 meters wide. It was erected in Ruizheng, Liaoyang (today's Liaoning) in the early Mid-Autumn Festival of 1860, the tenth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty. It was written by Pan Shaolie (identity unknown). The font is round and full, simple and strong, which is a typical face style.

Calligraphy is a profound and exquisite art. Among the many inscriptions written by everyone, I especially like Yan Zhenqing’s fonts. I remember that when I first practiced calligraphy, I used several posts, but finally settled on Yan Ti. I think there is a connection between people. No matter whether you are in the same era, at the same level, or of the same gender, as long as you are in tune with each other, you can get a spiritual connection. That is a kind of affinity. Appreciating calligraphy is like reading text. When you see the characters, you can imagine the person's temperament and even appearance. By appreciating the face and body, you can gain such a spiritual communication. Whenever I copy Yan Zhenqing's steady and powerful calligraphy, I feel like I am talking to Master Yan across from him. With his solemn, plump body and powerful bones, we can imagine that he is a humble and rigorous person, upright and honest, with a calm, steady and elegant attitude. His magnanimity and even more awe-inspiring and inviolable aura. Therefore, when I was studying facial expressions, I felt that I was not only learning to write, but also shaping a character, subtly tainting some stubbornness.

So when I saw the inscription of "Motto for Managing a Family", I was first attracted by the familiar font, which is round and full, honest and steady, calm and generous... I can't think of anything better. Words can be used to express such a kind of passion, and to properly describe the calm and magnificent demeanor of calligraphers at that time when they splashed ink. And I can realize that such a pure and clean state of splashing ink is definitely not something that ordinary people and superficial people can achieve. Yes, when you appreciate these calligraphy, you feel like you have entered the calligrapher's heart. In the ups and downs of the strokes, your thoughts are ups and downs, and your thoughts are elegant, so that you can get a bright and clear feeling of physical and mental pleasure.

A good calligraphy coupled with the support of a good text will greatly enhance the aesthetic value of the art of calligraphy. Therefore, in this sense, I admire the "Motto for Managing a Family" A calligrapher who writes books, he knows what kind of coat is needed to package such a beautiful article that is good to others and teaches people how to behave. Just think about writing these words. If you use cursive script, it will be unsteady, if you use seal script, it will be too solemn, if you use official script, you will not have enough strength, and if you use running script, it will not be full. The motto is the icing on the cake and the glory. In this sense, calligraphy is not just about making a word look good, but also a kind of pleasant enjoyment that brings enlightenment to people's lives and cultivates their sentiments. Therefore, appreciating calligraphy is a joy. It not only allows viewers to gain visual beauty, but also allows people to gain spiritual beauty of humanity, or beauty of temperament.

As for Zhu Xi's "Motto for Managing a Family", I once read it when I was in the boudoir, but I have almost forgotten it by now. When I re-read these words today, I feel a sense of intimacy that I haven't seen for a long time. "Family Governance Maxims" is a text with far-reaching significance for humanistic education. It summarizes many principles and experiences in life from the aspects of life, diligence and thrift, etiquette and morality. Adhering to these classics left by the ancients, you can It will avoid taking many detours. Similar books include "Zengguang Xianwen", "Cai Gen Tan", etc. Reading this kind of book is not about how much knowledge I have, but about how I can cultivate my heart, behave better, and gain a kind of happiness. "A closed door is a deep mountain, and reading is a pure land anywhere." When you have such a calm mind and wander around, you will have a satisfying leisure life. As for comprehending "Shaolin Temple, Mojie Painting, Zuo Chuanwen" , Ma Qianshi, Xue Tao's Notes, Youjun Tie, Nanhua Sutra, Xiangru Fu, Qu Yuan Sao" will lead people into a harmonious and perfect realm of the unity of nature and man.

However, for a long time, walking in the bustling world, I did not feel this kind of happiness. I keep running around, but I don’t know why I am running around. Is it because of material attraction? Is it the lure of fame? It didn't seem to be the case. I just felt that the environment was a bit impetuous. I was scared and confused. I always felt like I had lost something and couldn't find the direction to walk. But today, when I stood in front of this monument and read this ancient text, it suddenly dawned on me that subconsciously, what I had been looking for was something called stability and tranquility.

A porridge and a meal, when you think about where you came from, it is not easy. Half a thread and half a thread, I always remember that material resources are difficult; although the ancestors are far away, the sacrifice must not be dishonest. No matter how stupid your descendants are, they must read the scriptures.

Live a simple life and work in a simple way, teach your children in a righteous way; do not take advantage when doing business with Jian Tiao. When you see your poor relatives and neighbors, you need to be warm and compassionate; avoid litigation at home, as litigation will eventually lead to disaster. In life, be careful not to talk too much, because talking too much will lead to mistakes; don’t think about giving favors, and never forget the favors you receive; study with the ambition of saints, serve as an official with the monarch in mind...

I thought silently in my heart, and touched it deeply with my hands. As for the inscription, I feel that when I do this, the warmth of my palms will pass through the bumpy indentations of each font, and I will get a thick, dignified and highly textured comfort, which comforts my hurried steps in the world. , to comfort my impetuous and almost numb soul. Although, living in such a prosperous and developed era, I think I can still calmly walk alone in a quiet corner, but when facing this monument, I still feel a little weak. In my forty years of life, have I fulfilled my obligations to my family, from being a daughter, to a wife, to being a mother? To mankind, from being a disciple, a teacher, a friend, to being a people, have I fulfilled my due responsibilities?

Although human life is short, it does not mean that the life process is simple. Standing in front of the monument of "Motto for Managing a Family", facing that dignified and profound posture, facing the words that embody people's good wishes, I should really reflect on the road I have traveled and seriously think about the journey ahead.

A person walks on two legs. Whether he can walk this herringbone road well or not, this inscription was indeed a solemn warning to me. When my eyes wandered away from the stone tablet, I seemed to hear a crisp and loud recitation sound coming from a place full of books and leisurely atmosphere - a porridge and a meal, when I think about where I came from. Half a thread, half a thread, Heng Nian is struggling with material resources... Although the ancestors are far away, the sacrifice must not be dishonest. No matter how stupid your descendants are, they must read the scriptures. Live a simple life and teach your children in a righteous way...

Now, listening to this voice that is full of charm and always sweet and pure, it feels like being in a Zen state with melodious Sanskrit sounds. How much wisdom of the ancestors is contained in the short and simple words. How to be a person and how to do things all have a fundamental. If the fundamentals are ignored, all the normal order in the world of mortals will be disrupted. What kind of world will that be?

Appreciate an inscription and quietly comprehend the meaning of literature and calligraphy. The reason why it is solemnly placed here is no longer just a famous calligraphy and a few words, but a leader of truth, goodness and beauty, pioneering people. It inspires people's intelligence, guides people into a harmonious and happy world, and allows people to achieve the beautiful return of the humanistic spirit.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that our city’s primary and secondary education has carried out the “Good Thoughts Every Day, Good Deeds Every Month” activity for nearly a year, and I couldn’t help but feel happy about it...
