Yang's clan slogan

We often hear people say: "If someone can be promoted and made a fortune, it is his ancestors who have accumulated virtue"; "Which descendant is so promising, it is really a virtue of the ancestors." That's true. Whether a family is developed or not, whether children and grandchildren are prosperous or not, is directly related to the elderly in the class, and even whether ancestors do good deeds and accumulate virtue. The elderly are virtuous, and their children and grandchildren are prosperous; The old man is wicked and the whole family suffers. There are many historical examples to prove this truth:

Su Yang, a famous minister in Sui Dynasty, was brilliant when he was young, and he was both civil and military. On the meritorious military service, "the hero is second to none"; Brilliant literary talent, "a moment is enough." However, Su Yang stood on his own feet with wisdom and deception, and thought he was the master, so as to spoil you. He was calculating and ruthless, and participated in the conspiracy of Yang Guang (later Yang Di), the king of Jin, to establish a prince.

He also participated in the criminal activities of Yang Guang's murder of his father, Emperor Wendi Sui. Although he won the trust of Yang Di temporarily, they colluded with each other and used each other, which deepened the suspicion and bad feelings between the monarch and his subjects step by step. It is said that Su Yang was poisoned at the behest of Yang Di, which later intensified the rebellion of Yang Xuangan, the son of Su Yang. As a result, Yang's clan was wiped out, his ancestral grave was dug up, and he was exposed, which was a tragic shame. As the old saying goes, "if you do more injustice, you will hang yourself"; "Do one more thing, and your children and grandchildren will be harmed." This is the tragic ending of Su Yang!

In addition, we all know that the Water Margin was written by Shi Naian. This book depicts the evil deeds of a large number of wicked people. As soon as such a book was written, disaster came-because the rape and theft described in this book made it easy for readers with unknown causes and consequences to have the idea of violating the law and discipline. I don't know how many social youths bad style has harmed! Therefore, before the evil report appeared, his three generations of descendants were all dumb, which is indeed the evidence of a secular newspaper, which shows that the cause and effect are unhappy.

We should know that the foundation of a family is the elderly. If the roots are broken, the branches and leaves cannot flourish. So how can the elderly make a family flourish? Quite simply, do more good deeds and accumulate more virtues. On the one hand, we can save ourselves from disasters, on the other hand, we can cultivate blessings for future generations and benefit them. Therefore, the virtue of the elderly is the best feng shui and the highest feng shui.

Another example is the Mohs Manor, the largest private enterprise in the history of China, which is called the first richest man. This family continued from the end of the Ming Dynasty and has developed for more than 400 years, which is longer than the history of the dynasty. It broke the record of not being rich for three generations and passed it on for ten generations. This family once owned180,000 mu of land and was very rich. How did they do all this?

Facts have proved that this family has been very charitable since it started its business. At that time, people were poor, and many people couldn't eat, so they provided food and three meals a day for the poor. If you encounter a famine year, you will give more, so the average annual food is nearly one million kilograms; The grain donated by the first five generations exceeded 1 100 million Jin. The manor has no walls and needs no defense. Do you know why? Such a big manor, so rich, don't you defend it?

They don't need it. The whole local county and city defended him, and they all knew that this family was a good person. This family is very rich, and we are all very lucky. We should protect him. So local robbers won't rob him and even protect him. The family education in this family is very strict, educating children and grandchildren with the ideas of ancient sages and sages, and especially requiring children and grandchildren to be diligent and housekeeping. They think it will be a shame if a person is extravagant. This is the law to protect the wealth of the Mou family: be charitable, accumulate virtue and do good.

I Ching said, "If you accumulate good things, there will be Qing Yu. If you accumulate bad things, there will be more disasters." . A good family will be blessed, and this kind of blessing can protect its children and grandchildren; If you do a lot of bad things, this family will not last long, and future generations will suffer.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Yu Jingyigong. He was extremely clever since he was a child. He studied well, but he failed to gain fame and fortune many times. Yugong, a scholar, should know how to do good deeds and accumulate good luck, but he doesn't believe in causality in his heart. There are fish and shrimp in the kitchen at home, and he stares at people when he sees beautiful women. Because I have read books, I talk about others behind their backs. My tongue is very sharp. My heart is full of resentment and revenge, self-esteem, jealousy, obsession with fame and other evil thoughts, narrow-minded and short-tempered.

What is the result of these inspirations? Yugong was down and out in middle age, and there was nothing around his family. What is more tragic is that he gave birth to nine children, seven died, and lost his youngest son, leaving only one daughter. His wife was very sad and cried her eyes out, which made her very miserable. It's really miserable for Yu Jing to live by borrowing money. Later, after being pointed out by a noble, Yugong realized that he was too evil, so he sincerely repented and turned over a new leaf. In just three years, he changed his fate, passed the Jinshi exam, his wife regained her sight, and his youngest son gave birth to seven grandchildren after he regained his sight. They all became useful people later.

Many of our elderly friends always feel that we should not leave some legacy or property to future generations for fear that future generations will suffer. In fact, when we think about ourselves, our living conditions are not good, and our parents left us nothing. Are we having a bad time? In addition, it is really hopeless for children to live on the inheritance of their ancestors!

Sima Guang's family motto said: "If you save money for your child, the child may not be able to stay. Books stored for future generations may be unreadable. It is better to accumulate virtue in the dark, thinking that future generations will have a long-term plan ",which means: the villa property is left to future generations, and they may not be able to hold it; Give them books, and they may not understand them. It is better to give charity and accumulate more virtues so that future generations can be protected by us for a long time. This is true wisdom.

Grandparents are virtuous and the whole family is blessed. There are countless examples of this since ancient times.

However, the word "virtue" has a profound meaning, and all of us should have a deeper understanding of what is good and what is evil. What is the accumulation of virtue and what is the failure of virtue? I think it's good to avoid doing evil without knowing it. When I suffer bad consequences and blame others, I think I am wronged and think that the cause and effect of good and evil are deceptive, which will be too wronged. Those who can hear the cause-and-effect education of good and evil are those who have accumulated virtue and good fortune in the past. May everyone believe in good deeds and let future generations benefit from them!
