Mencius' father died when he was a child. Meng Mu kept a festival for Meng Fu and never remarried. Her mother raised Mencius with great pains. They live near the cemetery. Once they have lost children, they learn to play funeral games like adults. Mencius' mother felt bad when she saw Mencius, which would have a bad influence on Mencius' growth, so she moved with Mencius.
They moved to a market where everyone was there, and they could see and hear all kinds of sales and business every day. Mencius and his friends learned to play games by selling slaughtered pigs and sheep in the market. Mencius' mother was very worried when she saw that Mencius was affected by such an environment, so she moved with Mencius.
This time they moved near the school, and there is a Confucian temple nearby. On the first day of every month, officials go to the Confucius Temple to worship. This time, Mencius followed suit, and Mencius learned to be polite as an official. This time, Mencius' mother was very happy, so that Mencius would develop in a good direction.
After careful cultivation and education by Mencius' mother, Mencius finally grew into a very famous thinker. There are many similarities between the "Three Major Movements" in Meng Mu and the present school districts. Parents buy school districts for their children's education, not for anything else, but for their children to grow up in a better environment. Environment has a great influence on a person's growth and development. When you come into contact with excellent people, you can learn excellent places from others. When you come into contact with people with poor quality, you will be infected by bad habits.
Mencius' growth also lies in his mother's careful teaching. Mencius became a thinker largely because he inherited his mother's studious quality, so parents should set an example and keep a good example in front of their children, so that their children will be more excellent.
