《三字經(jīng)》（一）

人之初，性本善。性相近，習(xí)相遠(yuǎn)。

茍不教，性乃遷。教之道，貴以專(zhuān)。

昔孟母，擇鄰處。子不學(xué)，斷機(jī)杼。

竇燕山，有義方。教五子，名俱揚(yáng)。

養(yǎng)不教，父之過(guò)。教不嚴(yán)，師之惰。

子不學(xué)，非所宜。幼不學(xué)，老何為？

玉不琢，不成器。人不學(xué)，不知義。

Three-Character Canon (I)

At the beginning of life,
Man is good in nature.
Human nature is alike,
Habits make them different.


For lack of communication,
The nature is in alteration;
And the nurture of the young,
Better be maintained for long.


Once Mencius' mother
Chose the best neighborhood for her son;
She cut the threads on the loom.


Another case is Dou Yanshan,
Who was wise in family education.
He raised his five sons,
And all of them were blessed with fame.


Rear children without instructing them,
And the father should be blamed;
Teach in a slack and lazy way,
And the teacher should be criticized.


If a pupil plays truant,
It proves to be improper.
If a child fails to learn,
What can he be when getting old?


Without being carved and polished,
A jade can't be a work of art.
If one does not learn,
He'll not know human virtues.
