At first their house was in the vicinity of the cemetery, he was often playing the game of building tomb or imitating others crying for the dead. Mother thought this was not good, so she moved to nearby markets. However, Mencius also imitated other people doing business and killing pigs. Mother thought that it was not good, so she moved again next to the school. Mencius learned etiquette and knowledge along with the other students. Mother thought that is what the children should learn, she felt very happy and no longer moved. This is well-known story of “Meng Mu San Qian”Meng Mu valued Mencius‘s education greatly. She sent him to school and urged him to learn. One day, Mencius played hookey from his teacher Zisi， Meng Mu was weaving. She was very angry, picked up a pair of scissors, and cut off the cloth. Mencius was scared and kneeled on the ground to ask for the reason. Meng Mu said: "Your learning is the same with my weaving. Weaving line to line connects into an inch, and then even into the foot, and finally when it’s completed, it become useful. Learning also depends on long-term commitment, regardless of days and nights. If you get lazy and do not make to the end, you are useless like this cloth."After listening to this, Mencius felt deeply ashamed. Since then he concentrated on learning and worked very hard, practiced the teachings of saints, and finally became a Great Scholar known as the Lesser Sage.

233位粉丝In ancient times, there was a man who wished that the seedlings in his fields grew faster and went to the fields every day to see them.古时候有个人，希望自己田里的禾苗长的快点，天天到田边去看。However, one day, two days, three days, seedlings do not seem to grow at all.可是，一天、两天、三天，禾苗好像一点也没有长高。"I have to find a way to help them grow up," he said to himself.他自言自语的说：“我得想个办法帮他们长。”One day, he finally thought of a way, and rushed to the fields, pulling up the seedlings one by one. From noon till sunset, I was exhausted.一天，他终于想到了办法，就急忙跑到田里，把禾苗一棵一棵往高里拔。When he returned home, he gasped and said to his son, "But I'm exhausted and my strength is not in vain. The seedlings have grown a lot."从中午一直忙到太阳落山，弄得精疲力尽。当他回到家里时，一边喘气一边对儿子说：“可把我累坏了，力气没白费，禾苗都长了一大截。”His son did not understand what was going on. He ran into the field and saw that all the seedlings were dead.他的儿子不明白是怎么回事，跑到田里一看，发现禾苗都枯死了。

揠苗助长(To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow)Once upon a time, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day. But still, he thought they were growing too slowly. He got impatient with the young plants. "How could the plants grow faster?" He tossed in bed during the night and could not sleep. Suddenly he hit upon an idea. He had an idea not wait for daybreak. He jumped out of the bed and dashed to the field. By the moonlight, he began working on the rice seedlings. One by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. When he finished pulling, it was already morning. Straightening his back, he said to himself, "What a wonderful idea! Look, how much taller the plants have grown one night!" With great satisfaction, he went back home. He told his son what he had done in a triumphant tone. His son was shocked. Now the sun had risen. The young man was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.People now use " Ba Miao Zhu Zhang" to describe the behavior of those who are too eager to get something done only to make it worse. The idiom is a bit like the English proverb "Haste makes waste" ------to spoil things by excessive enthusiasm.异译古时候宋国有个农夫，种了稻苗后，便希望能早早收成。每天他到稻田时，发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢。他等得不耐烦，心想："怎么样才能使稻苗长得高，长很快呢?想了又想，他终了想到一个"最佳方法"，就是将稻苗拨高几分。经过一番辛劳后，他满意地扛锄头回家休息。然后回去对家里的人表白："今天可把我累坏了，我帮助庄稼苗长高一大截！"他儿子赶快跑到地里去一看，禾苗全都枯死了。人们现在用拔苗助长形容急于求成，违法客观规律，只会把事情办坏。成语有点像西方的谚语“欲速则不达”——过度的热情只会把事情办坏

昔孟子少时，父早丧，母仉[zhang]氏守节。居住之所近于墓，孟子学为丧葬，躄[bì],踊痛哭之事。母曰：“此非所以居子也。”乃去，遂迁居市旁，孟子又嬉为贾人炫卖之事，母曰：“此又非所以居子也。”舍市，近于屠，学为买卖屠杀之事。母又曰：“是亦非所以居子矣。”继而迁于学宫之旁。每月朔(shuò，夏历每月初一日)望，官员入文庙，行礼跪拜，揖[yī,拱手礼]让进退，孟子见了，一一习记。孟母曰：“此真可以居子也。”遂居于此。从前孟子小的时候和母亲住在墓地旁边。孟子就和邻居的小孩一起学着大人跪拜、哭嚎的样子，玩起办理丧事的游戏。孟子的妈妈看到了，就皱起眉头：“不行！我不能让我的孩子住在这里了！”孟子的妈妈就带着孟子搬到市集，靠近杀猪宰羊的地方去住。到了市集，孟子又和邻居的小孩，学起商人做生意和屠宰猪羊的事。孟子的妈妈知道了，又皱皱眉头：“这个地方也不适合我的孩子居住！”于是，他们又搬家了。这一次，他们搬到了学校附近。每月夏历初一这个时候，官员到文庙，行礼跪拜，互相礼貌相待，孟子见了之后都学习记住。孟子的妈妈很满意地点着头说：“这才是我儿子应该住的地方呀！”于是居住在了这个地方。When Mencius was a child , his home located near the grave.

孟子的母亲，世人称她孟母。

孟子小时候，居住的地方离墓地很近，孟子学了些祭拜之类的事，玩起办理丧事的游戏。他的母亲说：“这个地方不适合孩子居住。”

When Mencius was a child, he lived very close to the cemetery. Mencius learned something like worship and played funeral games. His mother said, "This place is not suitable for children to live in."

于是将家搬到集市旁，孟子学了些做买卖和屠杀的东西。母亲又想：“这个地方还是不适合孩子居住。”

So he moved his family to the market, and Mencius learned something to do business and slaughter. The mother thought again, "This place is still not suitable for children to live in."

又将家搬到学宫旁边。孟子学习会了在朝廷上鞠躬行礼及进退的礼节。

He moved his family to the school palace. Mencius learned the courtesy of bowing and retreating in court.

孟母说：“这才是孩子居住的地方。”就在这里定居下来了。等孟子长大成人后，学成六艺，获得大儒的名望，君子以为这都是孟母逐步教化的结果。

Meng Mu said, "This is where the children live." It's here to settle down. When Mencius grew up, he learned six arts and gained the reputation of Confucianism. The gentleman thought that this was the result of Mencius'gradual education.
