"How can you be bright when you are born with Yu!" In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu's classic saying can be said to be a great compliment to Zhuge Liang from a side perspective. As a famous political and military strategist of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang had extraordinary wisdom and superior strategies throughout his life, and has always been admired by future generations. Apart from Zhuge Liang's status as a military strategist, he was actually a father full of educational wisdom. A family letter he wrote to his eight-year-old son Zhuge Zhan before his death - "The Book of Commandments to Children", has become a famous piece of tutoring in ancient and modern education. Although the full text is only 86 words long, each word is precious. Its educational thoughts have had a profound influence from ancient times to the present.
"The Book of Commandments" has profound meaning, and everyone can read their own feelings and opinions. Today, Nuo Ma talks about the wisdom of the ancients on parenting in Zhuge Liang's "The Book of Commandments to Children" and the two revelations the "Book of Commandments to Children" has for parents in the early education of children. Let’s briefly talk about the translation: A person with moral cultivation always makes himself perfect through meditation and reflection, and cultivates his noble character through frugality and frugality. Only by being indifferent to fame and fortune can one's ambitions be clear and firm, and only by being stable and quiet can one study hard for a long time to realize his lofty ideals.
Only when a person calms down his body and mind and studies with concentration can he learn real knowledge; without determination and hard work, even a genius cannot learn anything. If you do not have strict requirements on yourself and are passive and negligent, you will not be able to encourage yourself to have a positive will to make progress; if you take risks and are hasty and impatient, you will not be able to cultivate your temperament.
As time flies by and willpower wears away, people will eventually age like dead branches and leaves. Such people will not be able to keep pace with the times and shoulder the important responsibilities of society. The final outcome can only be to be sadly trapped in his dilapidated home with endless regrets.
