Lesson
Mencius small, once came home from school, his mother is weaving (see him back) he asked: "? Learning how kind of" Mencius (carelessly) replied: "just like in the past." Mengmu (see his indifference, very angry) on the use of scissors to cut the cloth woven good. Mencius seeing very frightened, he asked his mother: "Why? Want to send such a big fire," Meng Mu said: "You abandoned their studies, as I cut the cloth as a virtuous person learning to build a reputation, and asked to. the growth of knowledge, so peacetime without incident, work efficiency can avoid the scourge if now neglected their studies, not from doing abject servitude, and difficult to avoid the scourge of this weaving and survival depend on what is not the same it? If not abandoned halfway done, how can I make her husband and son do not have clothes to wear and a long-term lack of food it? woman if she lost the art of survival, if the man on the cultivation of virtue slack, then do not thief, is to be captured, enslaved. "Mencius shocked to hear, since, from morning to night studious than put Zi Si as a teacher, and finally became a world famous Confucian scholars. Virtuous people think Mengmu mother knows the law.
[REVIEW]
After Meng Mu moved three, while creating a favorable environment for the growth of his son, but has not been Mengmu everything will be fine. She believes that if hard work is not subjective, it's still not become. So her son's grasp on education, urging him to study diligently. She used to describe learning weaving, knitting analogy with breaking scrap science, very persuasive. Mencius on learning casual, Mengmu taken "off weaving" measures, so Mencius were greatly stimulated, thus changing the "waste learning" habits. To do so, in line with the principles of education incentives. Mencius went on to become a world famous Confucian scholars, with his mother's education are inseparable.
This "Chung Yong hurt" is just one example of the opposite. Chung Yong's father not to learn, so never lack acquired secondary education and become ordinary people.
