Su Yang, a famous minister in Sui Dynasty, was brilliant when he was young. On the meritorious military service, "the hero is the best in the world"; Literary talent, "a moment is enough." However, Su Yang stood on his own position with wisdom and deception, and thought he was the master, so as to spoil you. He was scheming and ruthless, and participated in the plot to make Yang Guang (later Yang Di) the king of Jin a crown prince.
He also participated in the criminal activities of Yang Guang's murder of his father, Emperor Wendi Sui. Although he once won the trust of Yang Di, they colluded with each other and used each other, which gradually aggravated the suspicion and ill feelings between the monarch and his subjects. It is said that Su Yang was poisoned at the behest of Yang Di, which later intensified the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, the son of Su Yang. As a result, the Yang family was exterminated, the ancestral graves were dug, and I was exposed, which was a tragic shame. As the old saying goes, "if you do more injustice, you will hang yourself"; "It is better to do more than one thing, which harms future generations." This is the tragic ending of Su Yang!
In addition, we all know that the Water Margin was written by Shi Naian. This book describes a lot of wicked deeds. As soon as such a book was written, disaster came-because the rape and theft described in this book made it easy for readers with unknown causes and consequences to have the idea of violating the law and discipline, and the heresy and perniciousness in it did not know how many social youths were harmed! Therefore, before the evil report appeared, his descendants were all dumb for three generations. This is really the evidence of a secular newspaper, which shows that the cause and effect are not correct.
You know, a family is rooted in the elderly, and if the roots are broken, the branches and leaves will not flourish. So how can the elderly make a family prosper? Quite simply, do more good deeds and accumulate more virtues. On the one hand, we can save ourselves from disasters, on the other hand, we can cultivate blessings for future generations and benefit future generations. Therefore, the virtue of the elderly is the best feng shui and the highest feng shui.
For another example, the largest private enterprise in the history of China, known as the first richest man, is Moushi Manor. This family continued from the end of the Ming Dynasty and has developed for more than 400 years, which is longer than the history of the dynasty. It broke the record of not being rich for three generations and passed it on for ten generations. This family once owned180,000 mu of land and was extremely rich. How did they do all this?
It turns out that this family has been charitable since the beginning of its business. At that time, people were very poor, and many people couldn't eat, so they sent food to the poor and provided three meals a day. If there is a famine, give more, so the average annual food is nearly one million kilograms; The total grain distributed in the first five generations exceeded 1 100 million Jin. This manor has no walls and needs no defense. Do you know why? Such a big manor, so rich, not to defend?
They don't need it. The whole local county and city people defended him and knew that this family was a good person. We are all blessed by the wealth of this family, and we should protect him. So local robbers won't rob him, and even protect him. This family's tutor is very strict, educating their children and grandchildren with the ideas of ancient sages and sages, and especially demanding that their children and grandchildren be thrifty and housekeeping. They think it will be a shame if a person is extravagant. This is the law to protect the wealth of the Mou family: do good deeds and accumulate virtue.
I ching said: "If you accumulate good things, there will be Qing Yu. If you accumulate bad things, there will be more disasters." . A family that does good will be blessed, and this blessing can protect children and grandchildren; If you do a lot of evil, this family will not last long, and future generations will suffer.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Duke Yu Jingyi. He was extremely clever and studied well since he was a child, but he failed in fame and fortune many times. As a scholar, Yugong should know how to do good and accumulate virtue, but he doesn't believe in cause and effect in his heart. There are fish and shrimp in the kitchen at home, and he stares at people when he sees beautiful women. Because I have read books, I have a sharp tongue when talking about others behind their backs. My heart is full of resentment and revenge, self-esteem, jealousy, obsession with fame and fortune and other evil thoughts, narrow-minded and grumpy.
What is the result of these inspirations? Yugong was down and out in middle age, and his family had nothing. To make matters worse, he gave birth to nine children, seven died, and lost his youngest son, leaving only one daughter. His wife was very sad and cried her eyes out, which made her very miserable. It is really tragic that Yu Jing lives by borrowing money. Later, after being pointed out by a noble man, Yugong realized that he was too evil, so he earnestly repented and turned over a new leaf. In just three years, he changed his fate. He was admitted to the Jinshi, his wife regained sight, and his youngest son gave birth to seven grandchildren, all of whom later became useful talents.
Many of our elderly friends always feel that we should not leave some inheritance or property to future generations for fear that future generations will suffer. In fact, think about yourself, the living conditions are not good, and our parents left us nothing. Aren't we having a good time? Moreover, it is really hopeless for children to live on the heritage of their ancestors!
Sima Guang's family training said: "If you save money for your children, they may not be able to keep it. Storing books for future generations may not be able to read them. It is better to accumulate virtue in the dark, thinking that future generations will have a long-term plan ",which means: villa real estate is left to future generations, and they may not be able to hold it; Give them books, and they may not understand them. Not as good as Dobusch, accumulate more virtues and let future generations be protected by us for a long time. This is true wisdom.
Grandparents are virtuous and the whole family is blessed. There are countless examples of this since ancient times.
But the meaning of the word "virtue" is very profound, and all of us should have a deeper understanding of what is good and what is evil. What is the accumulation of virtue and what is the failure of virtue? In order to avoid creating evil without knowing it, I thought it was good. When I bear the bad consequences and blame others, I think I have been wronged, thinking that good and evil cause and effect are deceptive, which is too wronged. Those who can hear the cause and effect education of good and evil are all people who have accumulated great benefits in the past. I wish everyone can believe and do good deeds, so that future generations can benefit from it!
