Synopsis

[Traditional Chinese Studies | Family Education | Life Wisdom | Sober Introspection | Confucian Self-cultivation] The Qing Dynasty classic "Night Talk around the Fireplace", "Cai Gen Tan" and "Xiaochuang Youji" are collectively known as the three great books on life. The book contains 221 household mottos, which are life mottos written by the scholar Wang Yongbin while chatting around the fire on a cold night. The writing style is simple and down-to-earth, with no obscure and mysterious principles. They are all practical principles of housekeeping, reading, and life. The whole book takes loyalty, diligence, thrift, and generosity as its core, and details the upbringing of children, getting along with relatives and friends, establishing yourself in the workplace, farming, studying, and passing down the family. Each sentence is suitable for ordinary people's lives. In the book, "If you are poor, you can only seek frugality; if you are humble, you should be diligent" and "Please have a conscience to control me and leave some room for others" have been circulated for hundreds of years, curing the impetuous and utilitarian mind. Different from the talk of gorgeous literati, this book focuses on pragmatic practice and is suitable for students, parents, and professionals to read in fragments. Read it when you are anxious, have conflicts with others, or are confused when educating your children. Learn to keep your heart, know how to give in, practice morality, keep your duty of loyalty, stabilize the foundation of life, and achieve long-term happiness in the daily life of fireworks.
