Mencius received an "excellent" childhood education when he was a child. His mother knows prenatal education: "When I was pregnant with Mencius, wow, I didn't sit upright, didn't eat well, and prenatal education was not bad." When Mencius was born, one day he saw his neighbors sharpening their knives to kill pigs. Mencius was curious: "Mom, what are you doing next door?" "Kill the pig." "Why kill pigs?" Mother Meng smiled and said, "Here you are." I regretted saying this. Isn't that a lie?
So, Meng's mother really bought her neighbor's pork for Mencius to eat.
When Mencius reached the age of running around the ground, he went to the graveyard outside the village to chase wild children, dug around with a small fire shovel, and performed grave-sweeping and coffin-burying, which was very talented. His mother was unhappy and felt rude. She took this lively child and rented a house outside the wall of the farmer's market.
So Mencius imitated the appearance of businessmen, bargaining and making noise. Meng's mother was afraid that her children would develop the bourgeois habit of frugality, and she soon moved to live next to the government public school. Every day, there are a bunch of idiots here who learn to advance and retreat and fiddle with cowpea sacrifices. Beans are baskets), all weak Confucian scholars, practicing etiquette. Meng Mu uneasy heart finally settled down. My son can finally be full of elegant charm, calm behavior and the ability to obey the rules. This is the story of "Three Major Movements in Meng Mu".
Parents who are too self-centered often deprive their children of their independent temperament and desire for innovation and invention. The son educated by Meng's mother inevitably lacks rebellious spirit and masculinity. When this filial, dignified and quiet child grows up, he will never jump out of the conventional mode of thinking, and he also requires future people to be like him.
Of course, Mencius once resisted in the process of growing up, but was suppressed by his mother. Mencius once came back from school and was asked by his mother, "How is your study recently?" Mencius said bitterly: "Today is not what it used to be, neither good nor evil." Meng's mother was so angry that she immediately threw it at him and broke the "sewing machine", which scared Mencius to shrink his neck. Meng's mother scolded him for a long time, and I don't know if Meng Zi understands it. Meng Ziwei followed Nuo Nuo's advice and was afraid. From then on, he lost his mind and finally became an excellent bookcase with two legs.
When Mencius was in his early twenties, he went to Confucius' disciple school and studied for five years. His knowledge and morality advanced by leaps and bounds, and finally came in handy. Once, Mencius walked into the bedroom and suddenly his eyes lit up, which startled him. It turned out that his wife wanted to try on a topless cicada yarn, naked and facing the mirror. Mencius' daughter-in-law thought is quite trendy, thinking that wearing short, transparent and revealing fashion will definitely add some beauty and win her husband's praise. I didn't know Mencius was particularly old and conservative. He said: "I swear by the reputation of Confucian disciples that I will never tolerate women topless." Say that finish, angrily turned and left, and went outdoors to suck his "integrity".
His wife was anxious and said, "I'm fine at home today." I wore a casual dress in my room. I didn't expect my husband to be very unhappy. How can I get along in the future? " I'd better go back to my family! "
Meng Mu also felt that Mencius was possessed, and scolded Mencius: "According to etiquette, you should ask who is inside when you enter the door to remind others;" When pushing open the inner room, look down to avoid invading others' privacy. You don't understand this and rely on others? "
Mencius snorted a few times, didn't care, turned and walked away. Meng's mother must regret that the child was educated to be a bookworm with a rigid brain and no one recognized his parents, and he had no sexual consciousness at all. In fact, saints really shouldn't have wives. We in China were later educated by such saints.
Mencius was so skilled that he couldn't find a job in his forties. So he took his benevolent prescription and went to Liang Wei in the Central Plains to sell ideas and get a job. At that time, Wei Huiwang was still alive. After kneeling on the case, Wei Huiwang's temples turned gray and asked Mencius, "Whoosh! It is not far away (the source of idioms), and there is no way to benefit our country. "
Unexpectedly, Mencius was furious: "You clamor for profit every day, but I just want to talk about righteousness!" " "Mencius forbid people to talk about profit, and the gentleman seeks the Tao without seeking food. He also opposed righteousness and benefit, and when one increased, the other decreased. Therefore, the descendants of China people are not interested in benefits, but only in virtue. The very active industry and commerce in the pre-Qin period pursued profits, so the descendants of the prevailing Confucianism were severely suppressed, and the seeds of capitalism did not germinate, which led to the retrogression of commercial economy and technology. Actually, what happened to Li! Having a full stomach and putting on happy silk clothes is the respect for life and the true sense of justice. Righteousness and benefit do not conflict. It was Mencius who opposed them.
