Thinking about learning and remembering Lin Zexu’s "Ten Useless Things"

November 18, 2021? Thursday Qu Jingqing

When Lin Zexu, an important minister of the Qing Dynasty, was fifty-four years old, he wrote "Ten Wushu", which can be called a gem. Every sentence of timeless good words makes people feel enlightened after reading it.

? These "ten useless things" are not only Lin Zexu's own standards of self-cultivation, but also his principles for educating his children. For us, it is not only the fundamental key to being a human being, but also a golden recipe for educating our children. We should cherish it and understand it carefully.

1. Having bad intentions, Feng Shui is useless;

2. Being unfilial to parents, serving God is useless;

3. Discord among brothers, making friends is useless;

4. If you behave badly, it is useless to study;

5. If you act eccentricly, it is useless to be clever;

6. If you are arrogant, it is useless to be knowledgeable;

7. When fortune is bad, seeking in vain is of no use;

8. Taking money from others in vain, giving in vain is useless;

9. Sparing one’s vitality, medicine is of no benefit;

10 , Evil and wanton desires, yin stallion is useless;

? The opposite of "ten useless" is "ten beneficial". The former is our biggest warning, and the latter is our best example. Law. The distinction between the evil path and the righteous path is clearly defined here.

? What Lin Zexu’s "Ten Wushu" really wants to tell us is still the unbreakable six words: stay away from evil ways and follow the right path.
