Prairie family style

In March, I read the long documentary "Family style" by Inner Mongolia writer Tian Peiliang, such as the spring breeze. The so-called family style is the traditional style and door style of a family or family, and the beautiful family style is the inheritance of national virtues. The splendid civilization of the Chinese nation for thousands of years has accumulated many fine traditions, which has become the code of conduct for many people to cultivate their moral integrity, and at the same time, it has also constructed the basic cells of a civilized society. The origin of "family style" is traced back to its origin, and through the accumulation of virtue from generation to generation in a family, the vicissitudes of family style over the past hundred years have been demonstrated, showing the long history of Chinese virtue.

At a related seminar, people put forward the phenomenon of Ding Xinmin and wondered what nurtured and created Ding Xinmin. Can there be more such moral models in today's society? "Family style" is an in-depth study of this issue.

At the foot of Daqingshan and Tumochuan grassland, there live groups of Mongolian compatriots who turned from nomadic to farming a long time ago. they advocate the millennium rural style of faithful family inheritance, diligence and kindness, harmonious neighbors and respect for learning. The Mongolian honorific teacher and teacher is Bash, after which the Bashi village where the Ding family lives is named. In the atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to education, the old Ding family built a Ding study in the early years of the Republic of China to enlighten the people and introduce civilization. This was rare on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia a hundred years ago. With the independence and liberation movement of the Chinese nation, a number of promising people who devoted themselves to resisting Japan and saving the nation and striving for liberation have become a generation of tales.

"Family style" really records the conduct of the Ding family at that time: for those outsiders who went out of their mouths to make a living, the Ding family had a family rule that they were not allowed to be slow. Regardless of their status, all the children of the Ding family use respectful names for their elders and never call them by their first names. When it comes to food, there is no difference between the inside and the outside, and there is no difference between good and bad. During the 26 years of Guang Xu, Tumochuan suffered a severe drought. when Ding Xinmin paid the bill for his employees in December, Ding Xinmin's grandfather was no less than a penny. The code of conduct of the old Ding family was passed on by his grandfather to his father, and his father passed it to Ding Xinmin. how many times at the end of the year, regardless of profits or losses, Ding Xinmin had to do everything possible to raise money to ensure that the wages of migrant workers were paid on time.

A lonely old man working in Lao Ding's house was killed in an accident. Ding Xinmin's grandfather did a thorough job of the old man's affairs just like burying his own relatives. Ding Xinmin inherited the family style and regarded his migrant worker brothers as relatives. In December that year, a migrant worker who had worked for him died of illness in his hometown. When Ding Xinmin heard this, he drove hundreds of kilometers to mourn. When he entered the door, he knelt and kowtowed in front of the soul: brother, you work for me in this life, and I will work for you in the next life. All the people present were moved by the words.

Home is the smallest country, the country is tens of thousands of families, Lao Ding family to self-cultivation, family, governance, peace of the world as the pursuit of life, the red family style continues from generation to generation. Daqingshan and Tumochuan were once famous revolutionary base areas. Ding Xinmin's father, Ding Shulin, joined the Communist Party in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. He sold his family property and funded the work of the Suimeng Underground work Committee, while his family eked out a living in poverty. Under the influence of his father, Ding Xinmin and his younger generation were almost all members of the Communist Party of China. In the Wenchuan earthquake that year, he led six members of his family to pay a total of 1.8 million yuan in special party dues. As a private entrepreneur, he became a deputy to the 18th CPC National Congress. He participated in and witnessed the critical moment and important course in the development of the party and the country.

"Family style" portrays an inheritor and watcher of a good family style with true stories and simple language. Traditional Chinese virtues such as knowing books and courtesy, honesty and trustworthiness, humility and tolerance, filial piety, charity, poverty relief and other traditional virtues have cultivated and created Ding Xinmin, and he has spared no effort to spread the virtues of family style to the world. Reading "Family style" makes people realize that it is not difficult to do a good thing, but it is more difficult to do a good thing all one's life, and it is even more difficult to do good deeds for generations and become good people. The Chinese nation has been able to prosper and prosper in the forest of the world, precisely because the Chinese culture handed down from generation to generation is deeply rooted, and thousands of family styles blow people's hearts, such as spring rain, inspiring people to keep abreast of the wind and rain and forge ahead.

This is an authentic Chinese story, which creates the values of the Chinese people and brings useful enlightenment to people: today, to establish a beautiful social custom is inseparable from the self-cultivation of thousands of families of all ethnic groups, inheriting a good family style, focusing on everything and doing it bit by bit, leaving endless spring breeze for future generations.
