Translation:

Li Cunshen was born in poverty and had a low status. He once warned his children: "Your father left his hometown with only a sword when he was young. During the years, his status reached the level of general and prime minister, and he escaped from death more than once. He cut open the flesh and bones and took out the arrowheads hundreds of times."

Then he took everything. He took out the arrowheads and gave them to the children, told them to keep them, and said, "You were born into a wealthy family. You should know how your father started his family." The children all agreed.

Original text:

Li Cunshen came from a humble background and tried to warn others: "Your father went to the countryside with a sword. In the past forty years, he became the most general. During this period, there were many There is not one person who can gain a life after death, and there are more than a hundred people who can break bones and produce arrowheads."

Because he was given the arrowhead and ordered to hide it, he said: "You Cao was born in Gaoliang. You should know that your father started like this. Yes." All the disciples agreed.

Enlightenment:

To teach children that wealth is hard to come by, they need to know how to start a business through hard work; they should not lose their fighting spirit in a comfortable life, but should practice more and make a difference. Remember the bitter and think of the sweet. Li Cunshen's descendants can be called the children of high-ranking cadres, and they have good food and housing, but they don't know how hard their fathers worked. Therefore, Li Cunshen wanted to warn them and let them keep the arrowheads he took out of his body. It’s just an education that reminds you of the bitter and sweet.
