"Three Moves to Meng Mu" tells the story that Meng Mu chose a good environment to educate his son and created learning conditions for Mencius. Mencius lived in the northern countryside in his early years, and there was a cemetery near his home. In the cemetery, undertaker is busy, and people dig holes here every day. Dai Xiao, the relative of the deceased, cried and played drums, which was quite lively. Juvenile Mencius imitated. Seeing these scenes, he also learned from them, pretending to be a dutiful son and grandson and crying as a drummer. When he was swimming with the children in the neighborhood, he also imitated mourning and dug holes with a small shovel.

Meng Mu was bent on turning Mencius into a good scholar and a learned man. He felt very uncomfortable when he saw his son's strange appearance. He feels that this environment is really not conducive to the growth of children. He thought that "this is not the reason why he lives in my son's house" and decided to move out. Soon, Meng Mu moved his family to the city. In the early Warring States period, commerce was quite developed. In some big cities, there are both merchants' shops and businessmen who come from afar to do business. There are pottery makers and oil mills. The neighbors of Mencius' family strike while the iron is hot in the west and kill pigs in the east. People come and go in the downtown area. Businessmen sat in the market and shouted. Very lively. Mencius visited the market every day and was most interested in the cries of businessmen. He learns to shout like them every day, imitating businessmen to do business.

Meng Mu felt that a busy family had no good influence on his children, so he moved again. This time, he moved to the east of the city opposite Gong Xue. Gong Xue is an educational institution established by the state, and there are many scholars who know both knowledge and etiquette. Gong Xue's books were loud and clear, which attracted Mencius. He often ran to Gong Xue and looked around. Sometimes he saw the teacher leading the students to practice Zhou Li. Zhou Li is a set of rituals of sacrifice, worship and communication in the Zhou Dynasty. Here, Mencius also played a game of practicing rites with the children in the neighborhood. "Set a bean and let them advance and retreat." Before long, Mencius entered this academic hall and studied etiquette, music, archery, martial arts and six arts. Meng Mu was very happy and settled down.

Orphans and widows, it is not easy to move once, but Meng Mu moved three times in a row for the growth of his son. Visible, Meng Mu knew the importance of the objective environment for children's growth. As the saying goes, "If you are near Zhu Zhechi, you will be black if you are near Mexico", which is more obvious in children. Therefore, creating a good objective environment is not the only condition for a person to become a success. However, it is also an indispensable condition. Mencius did not choose Mohism, Taoism and other once-prominent theories, nor did he seek personal happiness in life from the perspective of personal rights, as Qin and other strategists did. Instead, I chose Confucianism as my lifelong struggle, and finally became a person who did not seek for himself in real life, sacrificed his life for justice, and only worked for the world for the sake of worrying about the country and the people.

When Mencius was a child, his master killed the dolphin. Mencius asked his mother, "What did the master kill dolphins for?" Mother said, "I want to love you." Her mother regretted it and said, "I am pregnant and can't sit upright;" If you don't eat properly, you can teach the fetus. Cheating with knowledge means not believing. " You buy your master's dolphin meat, but you don't cheat.

Edit paragraph 2. Buy meat.

Meng Mu not only attached importance to the influence of objective environment on young Mencius, but also attached great importance to setting an example and inspiring and educating Mencius with his words and deeds. Buying Meat tells the story of how Meng Mu educated Mencius with his words and deeds. Once, his neighbor sharpened his knife and prepared to kill pigs. Mencius was curious and ran to ask his mother, "Where are the neighbors?" "Kill the pig." "For what?" Meng Mu smiled and said casually, "For you." Just after saying this, Meng Mu regretted it, thinking that my neighbor didn't kill pigs for his children, but I lied to him. Isn't this teaching him to lie? To make up for this mistake, Meng Mu really bought his neighbor's pork for Mencius.

Edit this paragraph 3 to cut off the godson of the machine.

"Breaking the Machine and Teaching Children" tells the story of Meng Mu encouraging Mencius not to give up halfway. When Mencius was a teenager, he did not study hard at first. On one occasion, when Mencius came home from school, Meng Mu was sitting in front of the machine and weaving. She asked her son, "Do you know the Analects by heart?" Mencius replied, "I can recite," Meng Mu said happily. "Please recite it for me." But Mencius always recited this sentence over and over again: "Confucius said,' It's okay to learn from time to time? Meng Mu was angry and sad when he heard these words. He raised a knife, hissed, cut the cloth he had just woven, and the hemp thread fell to the ground one by one. Mencius was scared when he saw his mother cut the cloth he had worked so hard to weave. He didn't understand why, so he asked his mother what was going on. Meng Mu taught his son, "Learning is like weaving. If you don't concentrate on reading, it's like rags." If you always review old knowledge, you will never learn skills. "Speaking of sadness, Meng Mu sobbed. Mencius was very moved. From then on, he firmly remembered his mother's words, got up early and studied hard.

Meng Mu's teaching methods have a great influence on Mencius' growth and ideological development. The good environment made Mencius be influenced by etiquette habits for a long time, and he developed an honest and upright character and a tenacious and diligent spirit of studying, which laid a solid and stable foundation for his future research and development of Confucianism.
