There is an old Chinese saying, "If there are three empty families, children and grandchildren will be poor". This phrase was used by the ancestors to warn future generations to pay attention to the family environment and lifestyle to avoid falling into poverty. So what exactly does the "three emptiness" refer to? Does this sentence still have meaning today?
Let's talk about the first of the "three emptiness" - the empty study. In ancient times, the study was one of the most important places in the home, representing the cultural heritage and knowledge level of the family. If a family's study room is empty and there is no accumulation of books and culture, then the family lacks the carrier of inheriting wisdom, and it is difficult for future generations to have advanced cultural literacy and knowledge.
In modern society, although the form of the study room has changed, the accumulation of knowledge and the importance of learning have not diminished. If a family does not pay attention to education and does not pay attention to cultivating children's reading habits and learning ability, it will be difficult for children to gain a foothold in a highly competitive society in the future.
The second emptiness refers to the emptiness of the hall. The hall is the center of family activities, a place for family gatherings and exchanging emotions. If a family's hall is empty and unpopular, then the family lacks affection and warmth.
Lack of communication and estrangement between family members can easily lead to tension and even breakdown of family relationships. Such a family environment is extremely detrimental to children's growth, easy to make them feel lonely and insecure, and affect their mental health and personality development.
The third empty is the empty kitchen. The kitchen is the center of family life, a place where food is prepared and delicacies are cooked. If a family's kitchen is empty, without ingredients and spices, then the family lacks the breath and enthusiasm of life. Food is the foundation of life and an important bond between family members.
If a family is not able to meet even the basic diet, the quality of life of the family members will be greatly reduced. In addition, it is difficult for a family that does not pay attention to diet to develop healthy living habits and eating habits, which is not conducive to the health and long-term development of family members.
These three emptiness—the empty study, the empty hall, and the empty kitchen—are actually a comprehensive examination of the family environment and family life. They are not only material vacancies, but also spiritual and cultural nuances. If a family wants to raise excellent offspring, it must pay attention to the construction of these aspects.
It is necessary to attach importance to education and learning, so that the study room is full of wisdom and knowledge. Parents should guide their children to develop a good habit of reading, and cultivate their interest in learning and independent learning ability. In this way, children can continue to grow in the ocean of knowledge and lay a solid foundation for future development.
It is necessary to strengthen exchanges and communication between family members, so that the hall is full of family affection and warmth. Parents should care about their children's growth, listen to their voices, and give them enough care and support. At the same time, family members should also respect, understand and tolerate each other, and work together to create a harmonious and warm family atmosphere.
It is necessary to pay attention to the health of the diet and the quality of life, so that the kitchen is full of the taste of food and happiness. Parents should pay attention to the dietary needs of family members and provide nutritionally balanced, delicious meals. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate healthy living habits and eating habits to make family members healthier and more energetic.
