Qi's family is rich, his second son is stupid, but his father doesn't teach him.

One day Ai Zi said to his father, "Although your son is beautiful, he knows nothing about the world."

The father was angry and said, "My son is sensitive and versatile. Can't you handle the affairs of the world? "

Ai Zi said, "There is no need to judge him. But ask (the son of the monarch) where the rice comes from. If I know, I should feel guilty. "

The father called his son to ask him. The son smiled and said, "I don't know this, so I put it in a cloth bag."

His father suddenly changed his face and said, "My son is so stupid that he is not from Tanaka."

Ai Zi said, "If it weren't for his father, he wouldn't have a son."

Lian Hao comments:

In Confucius' time, this was the most appropriate word to describe a person's laziness and stupidity. In this era, it goes without saying that even if he can't cook, he still lives.

The shelves of the supermarket are full of fresh food, drinks and snacks. Clothes and electrical appliances are also hung in that narrow space and piled up.

You don't need to know how those things are made, nor do you need to know the exciting and sad stories behind their birth.

Just throw a few coins into the slot machine and the cold drink will crash.

I always feel a sense of emptiness under the fine division of labor in modern industrial society. The individual seems to be a life with or without. What can I do with one more you or one less?

I figured it out. Even if all mankind disappears out of thin air, the earth will turn as usual.

Four bodies are not diligent,

I am single and don't know how to educate my children.

This is my simple view: housework should be done by children, and people should stand on their own feet before they can stand on their own feet.
