The old man said that if the front door is not lit, the backyard is not lit, and the family style is a bright lamp.

Many old rural sayings contain profound truth, and some still seem to be shining. Many of the old people's words are for us to live and grow better. For example, today's sentence "the front door is not lit, the backyard is not bright" seems to be a very simple meaning, but it contains the earnest teaching of the elders to their children.

"No light in the front door, no light in the backyard" is easy to understand and very straightforward in terms of language. in fact, this is the common feature of our common saying. But if you think about this sentence from the bottom, you will find that the old people are well-intentioned.

The front door lamp in this sentence refers to the parents and elders, while the back yard refers to the children. In fact, the meaning of this sentence is to tell people that elders should lead by example before their children can become adults. But if the elders cannot do what needs to be done well, how can they have the face to educate their children?

As the saying goes, "the son does not teach, the father's fault", but from the bottom of the mind, why blame the parents? Parents are the first teachers of their children, and family education is the first education. Only the combination of family education and school education, complement each other, a child can better go to the society to receive social education.

However, parents can not do their duty, but they want their children to become Jackie Chan and Phoenix, and even accuse their own children of being inferior to other people's children. In fact, when accusing their children of being inferior to others, how many parents think that they are not as good as other people's parents?

The story of Meng's mother's three migrations is not for children to listen to as bedtime stories, but more for parents to think about how to educate their children. This is the duty of parents. Although we can't give our children a rich economic life, at least we should try to give them the best spiritual life.

So parents are the first teachers of their children, just like the lamp in front of the door, illuminating not only the doorway, but also the child's life. Once you are a parent, you must know how to exercise self-discipline. Only by setting an example can your child believe you.

The Book of Rites says "self-cultivation, family unity, governing the country, and pacifying the world", but most of us have not even done a good job in the first step.

Bright lights are not easy to do, so you can't give birth hastily. Once you decide to have a child, think that it is not your duty to carry on the family line, but that you should tell yourself for the rest of your life that you should know how to lead by example.

Therefore, I advise those young people who are still children not to bring a life into this world responsibly because of their own mistakes. Life is not easy, and children are innocent. Even if you are not careful at the beginning, you have to know how to restrain yourself once you become a parent.

Family style is the greatest wealth of a family, and elders are the lights in the hearts of their children. Yan Zhitui has been away from Paoyue all his life, leaving future generations with not a life of rich food and clothing, but a family motto that has precipitated a lifetime of experience, telling future generations to be "sincere and filial, cautious, and scrupulous."

Therefore, gold and silver is not the greatest wealth, what can be left in the hearts of children is the family style like a bright lamp.

The above comes from promoting agriculture through science.
