From ancient times, family rules incessantly reminded people to protect the family, to make the family secure, to prevent the family honor from being tarnished, and to seek the extension of the family line. Clearly people in former times cared very much about whether their children's education would successfully bring honor to the household.
從古人在家訓中不斷提及「全身保家」、「安家」、「不敗家辱親」、「欲家道之綿長」等，可見古人相當在意子女受教育能不能求得功名、光耀門楣！
