Disciples' Rules is an enlightening book for children written by Li Yuxiu, a famous scholar and educator and a native of Xinjiang County in the Qing Dynasty. It is different from the widely circulated children's enlightenment book "Saint Amethyst". Mainly a book to guide children how to behave. The book explains in detail how to be filial to parents in family life, how to live in harmony between brothers and sisters, how to be polite when going out, what one should pay attention to in words and actions, what kind of friends to make, and how to read books. Confucius' Confucianism runs through the whole book. The first sentence of Disciples' Rules on Sages points out that the book comes from Confucius' theory, and then "the first filial piety is to love the masses, love benevolence and spare mechanical literature" is the sixth article of The Analects: "Disciples are filial when they enter, but young when they leave, and sincerely believe in loving the masses, loving benevolence and spare mechanical literature." Because Li Yuxiu studied four books, most of the contents used in the book are the contents of four books, and because Disciples Rules aims at educating children to learn how to be human, most of the contents used in the book are "sincere, sincere and self-cultivation", for example, "Don't talk lightly when you see reason, don't talk lightly when you know the unknown" is what Confucius said in The Analects of Yang Huo. "To add others, ask yourself first; "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" is a direct quotation from Confucius in The Analects of Yan Yuan. As for etiquette and how to read, the content of Book of Rites, one of the Five Classics, and Zhu Xiaoer's Exegesis. The book is concise, with only 1080 words in one sentence, but its content is profound. The most commonly used words in the book are "don't", "don't", "for" and "nothing", among which: "don't", 43 "don't" and 25 "don't". What is right and what is wrong. Persuade children psychologically and practically. The differences between Disciple's Rules and other children's enlightenment books are as follows: Saint Amethyst contains a lot of common sense of life and historical knowledge; Money is not only a teaching material for children's enlightenment, but also 65,438+0,000 different Chinese characters (994 practical, six words repeated) are used in the calligraphy works of the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi, so it has been used by children throughout the ages to practice calligraphy and recognize characters. Hundred Family Names is basically a catchy literacy textbook; " "Study in Qionglin" introduces many characters of local conditions and customs; Long Wen Bian Ying is a collection of allusions that spread widely, such as Ning Guan's cutting the table, standing out from the crowd, Wang Xiang's begging for carp, and a blessing in disguise. Different from these enlightenment textbooks, Disciple Rules focuses on cultivating children's enlightenment in knowledge, accomplishment and calligraphy practice, and ignores literary talent, allusions and comprehensive knowledge. It pays attention to the cultivation of people's ability and prepares children to become qualified people when they grow up. At the end of 1970s, the national college entrance examination system was restored, which made people see the profound changes brought by knowledge to economic and social status, and made people realize that knowledge can change people's destiny. Therefore, they are keen on cultivating and inculcating knowledge to educate their children and want them to pursue a high-quality life. But the ancients saw deeper and farther. They see that besides knowledge can change people's destiny, they also see the ups and downs and honors and sorrows brought by different life. Learning knowledge is important, but learning to be a man is more important, so it is more important to cultivate children's ability to be a man. For different people, knowledge has changed their fate, but people's fate after changing their fate is different, even people with the same level of knowledge have different fates. For the same person, although knowledge has changed fate, what will happen in the future? What is the fate after changing the fate? Therefore, the ancients did not value the fate of children in the first twenty or thirty years, but paid more attention to the fate of children's lives, the rise and fall of their lives. Prosperity and adversity in life sometimes depend on yourself and your behavior. It is very important to learn to be a man. If you don't know how to be a man, people may go astray on the road of life and become bad people who endanger society. Become a villain who excludes and slanders others. Plant trees for ten years and educate people for a hundred years. Learning knowledge may have an immediate effect, but learning to be a man will not. In the process of knowing how to be a man, a person will also be influenced by the complex environment around him. It is a long-term process of cultivating the mind and nourishing the nature. But its influence is far-reaching, not only affecting a person's life, but also his lifestyle, outlook on life and values can affect his descendants and their happiness. There are 360 sentences in Disciples Rules, which is consistent with the 360 days of the lunar calendar. Perhaps it is to let the children do it one sentence a day, year after year, according to the requirements of the disciple rules. Disciples' Rules is not only an enlightenment teaching material to guide children how to behave, but also very beneficial to the cultivation of adults because most of its contents are taken from the Confucian classic "Four Books". Disciples Rules is a book that can benefit people for life. It is closely related to one's life and family happiness. Every word and sentence in Disciple's Rules is very important, which can be described as elaborate, and every sentence contains the mystery of being a man. If people can follow the requirements of disciple rules word for word, the road of life will be smoother and there will be fewer detours; Family members will be more harmonious, less noisy and controversial, and living at home will be happier.
