A gentleman's journey is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. If you don't stay in the garden, you will be unclear, restless and not far away. If you study quietly, you must study. If you don't study, you won't learn widely. If you have no ambition, you can't succeed. You can't work hard if you are slow, and there is no rule of law if you are in danger. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen?

Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms, was praised as "the embodiment of wisdom" by later generations. His Ten Commandments is also a family instruction full of wisdom and a masterpiece of ancient family instruction. This paper expounds the profound truth of self-cultivation and scholarship, which is thought-provoking to read. It can also be seen as Zhuge Liang's summary of his life, and later became a famous piece of self-cultivation and determination to get married.
The main purpose of "The Book of Commandments" is to persuade my son to study hard and be determined, and to cultivate self-cultivation should work hard from indifference and tranquility, and avoid laziness and impatience. Summarize the experience of being a man and doing research, focus on the word "quiet", and at the same time attribute the failure to the word "mania", which is in sharp contrast.
