Features: The traditional culture of the Chinese nation has a long history, and historical records are vast as the smoke of the sea. As the long river of history rolls forward, the great waves wash away the sand, leaving behind the preserved documents as pieces of gold and silver, especially precious. The admonitory and instructive literature passed down in Chinese folk (private, family) directly reflects the moral ideals people advocated at the time, more directly and authentically embodying the characteristics of Chinese culture than those grand official Confucian classics. These educational texts for scholars and officials to teach their descendants comprehensively and thoroughly elaborate on a series of principles for establishing oneself, pursuing success, handling family relationships, and interpersonal relationships. They also involve aspects such as governing, ruling the country, studying, self-cultivation, and nurturing one's nature, as well as reflections on society, nature, and life, serving as reference materials for the construction of our current spiritual civilization and moral norms. Such famous sayings and family precepts are often concise, vivid, straightforward, and easy to recite, possessing great aesthetic value. As products of history, they naturally contain some negative and backward elements. We adopt an attitude of promotion and rejection, conducting organization and elimination work, while hoping readers can make correct judgments and understandings.
