to the present, family tradition is often closely related to family mottos and family rules.
On the surface, this is a form of education that is family-wide, such as many family tradition works circulated; on a deeper level, it represents the basic values and moral style of a family, such as the way it looks at problems.
To be honest, many people think this thing is very far away, but this must not deny its importance.
If I have to use one thing to describe it, the author believes that the family tradition is " root " . Only with this foundation can all future generations be united together, because this is their common idea . In the process of
, I have to mention a special family - Qian family .
Since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wu Yue King Qian Liu has formulated strict family rules, among which the Eight and Ten Precepts are often mentioned. This laid a solid foundation for the descendants of the Qian family to become excellent.
such as Qian Xuesen , Qian Daxin , Qian Zhongshu , etc. are all influenced by the Qian family's family rules and traditions.
We can think that the inheritance of family rules and traditions is the prerequisite for a family to be prosperous. With it, the descendants of the family will have spiritual power.
Looking at the entire history, and talking about the influence of family traditions and rules, Pei Bai Village in Wenxi County, Shanxi Province is definitely a well-deserved .
As for how exaggerated it is, the author is here to give you some data. Over the past thousands of years, 59 prime ministers and 59 generals have appeared here. What are their family rules?
WenxiPei's
First of all, let's talk about this family. After all, these two words are a bit unfamiliar to you.
This place was originally named "Yi", which was a taboo in the feudal era. After Qin Feizi's sixth-generation grandson was named "Yijun", all names with this word had to change, so " "" has also become "yi".
On the surface, this word has little to do with the ancestors. In order to show respect for them, "fei" was also added to it, and the surname " Pei " was born.
With the development of the times, this surname has gradually expanded, but and their roots are all derived from .
The implication is obvious, as long as your surname is "Pei", Pei Bai Village in Wenxi County is your home. The locals are also very enthusiastic about these people with the surname Pei.
Tracing the past history carefully, the time when Pei officially appeared on the stage was during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
At that time, Shanxi was a relatively prosperous economic and political center, and heroes and princes from all walks of life were stationed here and set up camps . Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and who is willing to be a mere idler? Pei's star shines in the sky.
Before the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, if you said that Pei was famous, no one would believe it; after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, you didn’t even need to say it when chatting, someone would mention to you "Hedong Pei's ". Its influence can be seen.
The author mentioned before that 59 prime ministers were born. The more famous ones are Prime Minister Pei Xi during the period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty Pei Xun during the period of Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty Pei Mian during the period of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty etc., etc., there are no details here. Listed one by one;
59 generals include General Pei Ye of Liao Dynasty, General of Chariots and Cavalry Pei Wenju, General of Hussars and Cavalry Pei Baifeng, etc. They are definitely a family that cannot be ignored in history.
Do you think this is the end? These are just people in the pinnacle position. There are 14 ministers in Zhongshu, 55 ministers, 44 ministers, and 11 regular ministers...
I would like to ask: What kind of concept is this? It’s impossible not to say I admire you.
Pei family rules
Compared with the achievements of the Pei family, what you are most curious about is their family rules. Who wouldn’t want to learn from the descendants of such an outstanding family?
After consulting the relevant historical documents, we found that the Pei family rules stipulated this when they were established: descendants who failed to pass the scholar examination were not allowed to enter the ancestral gate .
Literally understood, descendants of the Pei family who fail to pass the scholar examination are not allowed to enter the gate of the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was supreme in ancient times. It represents the continuation of a family. If you are not allowed to enter the family gate, what is the difference between this and being expelled from the Pei family??
With the influence of this family rule, the descendants of the Pei family naturally worked hard. After all, no one can afford such shame.
However, from today's perspective, this is already a product of the past. In the feudal era, the way to select talents was the imperial examination. Success in the examination meant entering an official career. Scholarship was the stepping stone to success. But now it is very different.
In addition to this "special family rule", there is another thing worth talking about, namely the "Pei family motto".
Family rules are the bottom line, and ancestral halls are "auxiliary tools" to help them move forward, that is, emphasize academic affairs, advocate literature and martial arts, promote both morality and industry, and be honest and self-discipline.
In short, people need to learn, have both civil and military skills, cultivate their moral character, and be strictly restrained.
In the past, a person who was both civil and military could be an almighty person. This also shows Pei's positioning for future generations.
Although this is not very applicable today, the inner spirit contained in family mottos is definitely a part of that cannot be ignored.
The double influence of family tradition and family motto spurs the descendants of the Pei family to keep moving forward. To this day, people often hear people talk about the legendary story of Pei Bai, the "Prime Minister's Village".

In the final analysis, spiritual wealth is more important.
Being rich and wealthy, material wealth is more or less caused by opportunities, environment and other factors. There are many things in this process that we cannot avoid. But if you have spiritual wealth, no matter what conditions you are in, you will survive and become a winner.
At the end of the article, I would like to give you a word: is loyal and will be passed down to the family for a long time, and poems and books will be passed down to the next generation..
Today in the 21st century, the inheritance of family tradition and family motto still has its unique value and practical significance. On the one hand, it spurs the descendants of the family, because the influence is subtle, and on the other hand, it is also a way of inheriting Chinese culture. Why not?
