Entering a new era, standing at the intersection of the two centennial goals of New China, the building of spiritual civilization is particularly important today when our material civilization has achieved rapid development and achieved achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. As a constituent unit of society, the family plays a fundamental role in the construction of spiritual civilization and the construction of a harmonious society. The inheritance of good family style from generation to generation and within the family plays an important role in inheriting good traditions, promoting family harmony, purifying social atmosphere and forming a civilized society.
The Four Precepts of The Fan is a book written by the Ming Dynasty scholar Yuan Huang (号了凡), which mainly exhorts his family and descendants to stand up for good. The opening chapter "The Study of Establishing Destiny" was written in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, has a history of more than 300 years, and is still valued by the academic circles, recognized by society, and imitated by the world, which fully reflects that it not only affects the Yuan clan, but also inherits and cultivates and forms a good family style among the clans, but also has strong reference value and practical significance for how modern families cultivate and inherit good family style, enhance family happiness, and promote social civilization progress. In general, the essence of the family style that has lasted for a long time and is highly respected in the "Four Precepts of The Great" include: positive attitude and great ambition, promoting good and evil and constant self-examination, two sleeves of clean wind and compassion for the people's feelings, humility and modesty, and teaching family style and so on.
Positive attitude and great ambition, family and society are harmonious. By chance, Yuan Huang began to believe in fate, believing that human life was predestined, falling into the strange circle of "fatalism", and living a negative life of "drinking in this day and drunk in this day". But after some distress, he regained his confidence, worked hard, and was determined to change his life state at that time through his own efforts, break negative beliefs, and achieve new goals in life. The results have indeed proved the effectiveness of these actions, and he has regained his confidence in life and constantly broken through the existing settings, bringing greater benefits to himself, his family and society. A positive and optimistic attitude towards life is an important foundation for the happiness of personal and family life, and also an important driving force for social harmony, civilization and sustainable development. In the current period of rapid economic and social development, it is more important to put an end to the "lying flat" mentality and encourage yourself and your family to establish correct and positive values. Positive and optimistic attitude towards life is an important fertile ground for giving birth to great aspirations in life, and we should closely combine family education and life aspirations with the goals of national development and national rejuvenation, and contribute our own strength to the development of the country and the nation while achieving our own goals and family happiness.
Promoting good and evil is often introspective, and individual countries are civilized. Yuan Huang often reflects on himself and strengthens the motivation of good behavior through recording, and warns himself to put an end to bad behavior. This kind of behavior of his not only achieved himself, but also affected the entire family and even the place where he was an official, forming a good family and social atmosphere of civilization and progress. The construction of the "five-in-one" is inseparable from social construction, which requires us to build an advanced culture and achieve social harmony. Among them, the most basic unit of social construction is the "family," which plays an important role in realizing cultural advancement and social harmony; and only by passing on the good practice of carrying forward goodness and eliminating evil from generation to generation and spreading it out in society layer by layer can we ensure that our social construction goals are achieved as scheduled and a civilized and progressive family and social atmosphere can be formed.
The two sleeves of the breeze sympathize with the people's feelings, and the wind is clean and the new atmosphere is positive. Yuan Huang was very simple in his life, and he asked his family not to use expensive cloth to make cotton clothes, but to use cloth that was very common in the north, and the money and silver saved were also made into cotton clothes and sent to the poor people under his rule, so that they could be free from the cold in winter; his own diet was simple, even if there were officials and officials visiting, he would not be extravagant and wasteful. As soon as he took up his post in Baodi, Tianjin, he visited the site, observed the people's feelings, introduced the saline-tolerant rice in his hometown to Baodi and successfully tried to plant it, and then actively persuaded farmers to do so, which greatly increased the local grain production, which is also the origin of rice cultivation in the Baodi area; in the famine year, he took the initiative to reduce taxes and reduce taxes to save the people from starvation. Advocating a frugal family style has a positive effect on the formation and inheritance of the fine habit of not being extravagant and cherishing the fruits of labor; promoting a clean and upright family style is also of great significance to creating a clean and healthy social atmosphere.
Be humble and do everything, know and act in unity. Yuan Huang repeatedly admonished his family members to remember to be cautious and humble, and cited a large number of examples of his own experience to illustrate the benefits of doing things modestly. In real life, Yuan Huang himself is a representative of being cautious and humble, and he does many things himself. Promoting the way of humility and prudence in the family can not only keep the family in an atmosphere of learning and progress at all times, but also help to form a harmonious and mutual assistance atmosphere in the whole society.
Words and deeds teach the family to continue, and the love of the people is universal. It is precisely because of Yuan Huang's excellent and strict family style that the family style he has explored and formed through his own efforts has produced a positive effect on his family. His son Yuan Yu later ruled Gaoyao in Guangdong, inheriting the family style, adhering to the original intention and ideal of "serving the official side and benefiting all the people", and when the flood occurred, he personally went to the front line, ran to work, and finally sacrificed himself at his post. However, his deeds and deeds have been remembered and admired by future generations.
From this point of view, what kind of person we want to become, what kind of contribution we want to make to society, and how to let history evaluate us, family style inheritance plays a fundamental role in it. We should fully excavate the value of the "Four Precepts of The Four Precepts" in the current era, and make it play an active role in the cultivation and inheritance of family style, create a happy, civilized and clean family, and create a good positive and harmonious society. #Family##Emotions##勤俭节约的优良传统 #
