What Zengzi Panshe told us is that whether we are educating our children or being a human being, we must pay attention to precepts and deeds, and we must not use deception as a means. We must do what we say in everything we do, and we must not lie. You must be true to your words and resolute in your actions, so that you can gain the trust of others.

Original text: When Zengzi’s wife went to market, his son began to cry. His mother says to him, "You have come back to me to kill the piggy for your daughter." His wife is coming to the market, and Zeng Zi wants to catch the piggy and kill it. The wife stopped and said: "I am playing with babies."

Zengzi said: "Babies are not meant to be played with. Babies are not knowledgeable. They treat their parents as scholars and listen to their parents' teachings. Now I am bullying them." , This is to teach children to bully. If a mother bullies her son, and the child does not believe in her mother, this is not the reason why she is taught to be a pig.

Translation: Zeng Zi’s wife goes to market, his son is crying to be troubled by following her. Zeng Zi's wife says to his son: "You go home first, and after I come back, I will kill a pig for you to eat." When his wife came back from market, Zeng Zi wanted to catch a pig and prepare to kill it. His wife immediately stopped him and said, "I was just joking with my son."

Zengzi said, "You can't joke with your son. Your son doesn't understand anything. He only learns from his parents." , listen to the teachings of parents. Now you have deceived him, which is teaching him to deceive. If a mother deceives his son, the son will no longer believe in his mother. This is not the correct way to educate a child." So Zengzi cooked pigs. Give it to the kids.
