Thoughts after viewing "The Family Instructions of the Talented Scholar Wang Erlie of Guandong" (1)
Wang Erlie, an honest official of the Qing Dynasty, was a native of Liaoyang, Guandong. He was talented and honest, and won the reputation of "the bright moon on his shoulders". Emperor Jiaqing called him the "King of Honesty".
One year, when he returned to Beijing from Jiangnan to take the exam, Jiaqing asked: "How is Lao Aiqing's family situation?" He replied: "The minister's family has three huts, half of which are farm equipment and half of books; there is also thin fields Several acres, that's enough to look at the spring breeze and the rain!" Jiaqing said happily: "I know that Lao Aiqing is an upright official. Well, you go to Tongshan, Anhui to be in charge of coining, and serve there for three years, maybe you can You will be rich.”
In all dynasties, the job of being in charge of making money is the most lucrative. Wang Erlie took office for three years and returned to Beijing after completing his term. Jiaqing asked: "Old dear, can you live out your life this time?" Wang Erlie smiled and said: "I still have nothing." Jiaqing said: "This may not be true, right?" Wang Erlie did not argue and immediately threw it from his sleeve. Three large copper coins came out, all of them polished. It turned out that these were sample coins for making money. He took them every day to check the quality of the coins. Over time, they were all worn away. When Jiaqing saw this, he praised him and said, "I love you for being so upright and honest. You can really be called an honest king!"
After Wang Erlie retired and returned to his hometown, Jiaqing ordered a building to be built for him in Liaoyang. Hanlin Mansion, but he used the main hall as a free school and only lived in a side room. A few years later, one of his students came to visit him from the capital. Seeing his wife, Youshi, weaving and seeing that there was nothing growing in the room, he asked, "Why is my teacher's family so poor?" Youshi replied. : "Your teacher has done nothing illegal in his life, and he has never done anything unjust. His little salary is not enough, so I have to weave and support myself." After learning about it, Jiaqing issued an edict to allocate money to him to support him in his old age, but he used the money He ran a charity school until his death.
Wang Erlie is an ancient man, but his outstanding qualities of integrity and integrity throughout his life are worthy of learning and reference by party members and cadres.
Currently, some party members and cadres can abide by the rules when they first start working. However, as their positions are promoted and their powers increase, they gradually lose control under various temptations and turn to selfish desires. Expansion, greed for enjoyment, abuse of power for personal gain, corruption and bribery, and eventually slipping into the abyss of corruption. The lessons of many leading cadres who have been defeated have warned us that as leading cadres, once something goes wrong on the issue of integrity, the consequences will be endless.
Integrity and integrity are the fine traditions and style of our party and one of the basic requirements for the party to maintain its advanced nature. The four words "Integrity and Integrity" are familiar to any leading cadre, but not many people can truly understand its connotation and weigh its weight.
As a public servant of the people, every party member and cadre must learn from past mistakes, like Wang Erlie, learn to be honest throughout his life, always remain mentally clear-headed, be highly responsible to the party, the country, and the people, and In daily work and life, be good at thinking and distinguish right from wrong, always maintain a sense of reason in actions, always be strictly disciplined and strictly abide by rules, treat fame and fortune with peace and contentment, treat power with awe and indifference, and be diligent and enterprising Treat your career with a sincere heart, resist the temptation of various interests, adhere to integrity, be cautious and respectful from beginning to end, be a model of honest use of power and honest service to the people, and always maintain a noble pursuit of personality and awe-inspiring righteousness!

"There is a beautiful legend that beautiful stones can sing, and they can give wisdom to the brave. It can also bring rewards to those who are diligent..."
This is the theme song "A Beautiful Legend" from the TV series "The Legend of Muyu Stone" with Wang Erlie as the protagonist. Accompanied by the familiar melody, we brush away the dust of history, open the door of time, and let us come to understand together the family motto passed down by Wang Erlie, a talented man from Guandong.
Preface
Wang Erlie, courtesy name Junwu and Yaofeng, was born in Liaoyang Prefecture (now Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province) in 1727, into a family of scholars. The Wang family was originally from Henan and later moved to Yangzhou. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the fourth generation of Wang Erlie was appointed the commander of the Liaodong Capital Division and settled in Fengshui Valley, thirty miles south of Liaoyang City. In 1771, Wang Erlie won the first place in the second class in the Enke Examination. This was the highest honor achieved by a Guandong person since the implementation of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty. He is erudite and talented, good at poetry and calligraphy, and is the spokesperson of Guandong culture; he is kind, loyal, and filial, and is a model in the countryside and a teacher in the village; he is an upright official, not corrupt or flattery, with bright moons on his shoulders and cool breeze on his sleeves , is a model of officials and was once praised as "the first talented man in Guandong".
Based in family tradition
Family tradition originates from the inheritance of the clan, and pays more attention to the words and deeds of the elders.
The Wang Erlie family is such a representative. The Wang family has always had strict family rules, simple family traditions, and strict family education. From generation to generation, they have been adhering to the principles of "being cautious in words and deeds, being generous and tolerant, being honest and truthful, and being honest but not unruly." Family rules and customs. More than 30 people have obtained the title of Jinshi, and many people have become officials.
Wang Erlie has been nourished by profound traditional culture and strict family ethics education since he was a child. His grandfather Wang Tianlu was proficient in Confucian history and medicine. He not only helped the world with his skillful hands and benevolent heart, cured diseases and saved people, but also educated future generations with Confucian cultural traditions. His father, Wang Jin, was knowledgeable and loved reading. He always followed the principle of "training students in the right way and thinking about things in the right way" and emphasized "being filial to the family, respecting the teacher, being loyal to superiors, and being sincere in work." The good family tradition enabled Wang Erlie to develop a simple and quiet endowment, create a pure and honest character, and lay a profound ideological imprint on his honest life.
Discipline your wife and educate your children
Wang Erlie had many children. Although he taught them carefully, one of his younger sons could not help but be instigated by others. He accidentally gambled and was arrested by the government and wanted to be paraded through the streets.
Wang Jihao of Liaoyang Local Culture Research Association:
His son was so frightened that he did not dare to tell Wang Erlie directly, so he begged his mother for mercy. His mother cried and begged Wang Erlie to spare her son from punishment. After hearing this, Wang Erlie became furious and lectured his wife: "My son is unruly and has violated the laws, so he deserves to be punished. If my wife continues to protect him, he will spoil his son as if he were killing him, and doting his son as if he would kill him." . Wang Erlie's wife was deeply frightened and conveyed Wang Erlie's intention to her youngest son. The youngest son was so ashamed that he took the initiative to go to the government to ask for retribution. This shows that the Wang family's upbringing and family tradition were very strict.
In 1771, in the palace examination organized by Emperor Qianlong, Wang Erlie won the top two imperial examinations by relying on "Xue Dao Pian".
Those who learn Taoism are like traveling in the mountains, and they must reach the top. Isn't it not majestic to sit down and let the peaks of the world reach far away, roll up the great swamp, and show all their shapes? It's easy to calmly observe the principles of all things, and it's easy to get my heart's joy; it's hard to move around the divisions of all things, and it's hard to get my heart's joy. Therefore, wisdom and benevolence are united, and then the gentleman's learning is completed. The way of learning is to sit silently, clear your mind, and understand the principles of nature, and then your selfish desires will be released!
Later, this 89-word essay was also used by Wang Erlie to educate his descendants to study diligently. He believes that learning is like traveling in the mountains. You must have the determination to "reach the top". You must not only understand the truth of all things, but also cultivate your body and mind, and achieve "the unity of wisdom and benevolence" before you can be considered successful in learning.
The literary master of Sanjiang
Wang Erlie was not only honest as an official and rigorous in running the family, but also talented, pure in temperament, frank and filial to his friends. He was known as the "literary master of Sanjiang". The most talented person in Kanto.
During the Qianlong period, which was the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy could be said to be "a flourishing place of virtuous men, rich humanities, and great talents and great learning, shoulder to shoulder." Wang Erlie participated in the compilation of "Sikuquanshu", which lasted for more than ten years, with green lanterns and yellow scrolls, burning ointment and sundial, and finally became a magnificent masterpiece and a splendid sight.
Wang Erlie has always kept himself clean and has never accepted money from others. On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, 125 Beijing celebrities including his colleagues and friends Liu Yong and Ji Xiaolan presented him with 126 paintings and calligraphy works, which were made into nine screens as a birthday gift. "Zhencao and seal script, Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan scripts, landscapes, flowers and birds, all gathered together by hundreds of artists, creating a dazzling display." Such a large lineup of poems and paintings is rare, and it shows Wang Erlie's status and influence in the cultural circles of the capital. "Wang Er Lieshou Ping" is not only an affirmation of his character, but also a recognition of his talents.
Lian returned to his hometown
When Wang Erlie was an old man, Jiaqing thought that he would be an upright and honest official, so he built the Hanlin Mansion and returned to his hometown as an official.
The Hanlin Mansion is divided into two front and rear entrances, each with ten couplets. It also has east and west wings, plus a gate tower and a side building, which is very grand. When Wang Erlie saw such a deep house and compound, he felt that it was too wasteful to live in his own house. He thought that I had been an official for many years and had not brought much blessing to my hometown. Now that I am back, I should leave some continuity for the future generations in my hometown. The best continuity is to set up a volunteer school. I hope that the scholars in my hometown can also study well like me. So he converted the ten main halls and two side rooms in the front yard of the imperial palace into a free school hall. My family only lives in the backyard.
A corner of Wang Erlie’s study
Before his death, Wang Erlie left this admonition to his descendants:
Farming is the foundation, and reading is the highest order.
Don’t be arrogant when you are an official, and don’t be confused when you are serving the people.
The ability is to eat food, and the muscles are to strive for clothing.
Tofu parents should not be profiteers.
I ask future generations not to be discouraged or arrogant, whether they are farming, studying, serving as officials, or serving the people. They must rely on their own ability to earn a living and rely on their own strength. They must not take advantage of others by taking advantage of others. Those who do things should put humiliation first, those who make friends should be honest and honest, those who teach children should be strict, those who live their lives should be diligent and thrifty. To this day, these famous sayings are still widely praised in the land of Kanto.
