People often say: 'A country has country laws, and a family has family rules.'
Good family rules not only educate outstanding children, but also enable a family to thrive and prosper.
However, nowadays, many families are facing a phenomenon:
At gatherings, the most respected group is the grandson generation, and elderly grandparents are often regarded as unwelcome; at the end of the banquet, grandparents eat leftovers.
Especially during holidays, when visiting relatives and friends, this is the best way to see whether a family is thriving or declining, and whether parents have good family rules.
If a family doesn't have the basic respect and care for the elderly and filial piety, it's clear that the family has no good family rules, let alone a family's foundation – family customs.
In today's society, a prominent issue is the diminishing awareness of family rules among modern people.
Many people think that family rules are rigid, like a set of restrictions. But without family rules, a family or family group will be scattered, with older generations disrespecting younger ones, and younger ones not caring for the elderly – this is truly terrible.
Therefore, family rules are not just for one era, but should be possessed by every family. It's like a legacy, influencing the present and profoundly affecting future generations.
Writer Ma Mobing once wrote:
'A family's inheritance is like a fine antique. It has been carefully cared for and polished by many people over long years, silently accumulating and maturing, gradually like a well-preserved antique, coated with a deep and profound patina, quiet and mellow, emitting an ancient atmosphere.'
Antiques have no quality, inheritance has no substance, it's invisible and intangible, but permeates the bones and blood of every generation in a family, becoming a spiritual link between family members and even part of their character and destiny.
Good family rules are like that invisible antique, unconsciously educating children with good character;
Good family rules can also shape good family customs, and good family customs are a family's priceless treasure.
