Retribution: his family has flourished for eight hundred years

因果报应：他的家族八百年来兴盛不衰

amitabha. Good deeds and good deeds will be rewarded. The family is prosperous and prosperous.

----Zhuge Changqing

amitabha.

Blessed life is limitless.

Everything in life is karma.

Good will be rewarded with evil. It is true.

Zhuge Changqing saw that there was good knowledge and wrote a good article to share with those who were destined.

This article is "Fan Zhongyan's family has prospered for eight hundred years by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue".

Good deeds and good deeds will be rewarded.

Fan Zhongyan (989-1052), with the Chinese character of Greek, is a famous thinker, politician, strategist and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was young, and his mother remarried to the Zhu family in Changshan, so he changed his name to Zhu Shuo. In the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1015), Fan Zhongyan studied hard and awarded Guangde Military Manager to join the army, welcome his mother to take care of him, and changed his real name. Later, he successively held the posts of Xinghua County Magistrate, Secretary-Gate Manager, Chenzhou General Judge, Suzhou Zhizhou, and so on. He was repeatedly criticized for being fair and frank. In the first year of Kangding (1040), Han Qi and Han Qi jointly served as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi to appease and recruit, and adopted the policy of "garrison the fields for a long time" to consolidate the northwest frontier defense. In the third year of the Qingli period (1043), he served as a counselor of the political affairs, published the "Ten Things to Answer the Hand Rescript" and proposed ten reform measures. In the fifth year of the Qingli era (1045), the New Deal was frustrated and Fan Zhongyan was demoted from Beijing. He served successively as governor of Binzhou, Dengzhou, Hangzhou and Qingzhou. In the fourth year of Huangyou's reign (1052), he changed his name to Yingzhou. Fan Zhongyan took up his post and left Xuzhou at the age of 64.

Fan Zhongyan has made outstanding political achievements and outstanding literary achievements. His idea of "worry about the world first, and be happy after the world" and the moral integrity of people with lofty ideals have a profound impact on future generations. Zhuge Changqing believed that Fan Zhongyan's thought of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" had affected many people.

Fan Zhongyan, the famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty, was born in a very poor family. When he was young, he was very poor, and his life was difficult. He thought that if he could become famous in the future, he would help the poor. Zhuge Changqing believes that a person's willingness to do good is very important, and it will shake the sky and the earth when it comes.

Later, when he became a prime minister, he took his salary out to buy a land for the poor and landless.

When I was young, I had nothing to eat while studying. When I was studying in the temple, I cooked a pot of porridge (we now call it porridge) every day, divided the porridge into four squares, and ate one square for each meal. I lived in such poverty.

In the future, he developed and became a prime minister. His way of life is still the same as that of a poor scholar. It has not changed much, but has been slightly adjusted.

Once I bought a house in Suzhou and lived there. A geomantic gentleman praised the house. The geomantic omen is very good, and future generations will be ministers. Fan Zhongyan thought, since the geomantic omen in this house can make future generations noble, it is better to change it into a school and let the children of the people in Suzhou enter the school. In the future, the children of all people will be wise and noble. Isn't it more beneficial than the children of his family? So he immediately donated the house and turned it into a school. It has fulfilled the long-cherished wish to benefit all living beings when young and poor.

When he has a large income, he thinks of many poor people. Give his income to the poor. From his biography, I learned that he once supported more than 300 families. One person's income has supported more than 300 families, and you know that more than 300 families can only live on their own. They all live a very poor life. If he was very rich, he would not be able to support more than 300 families. This is the great sage among us Chinese.

Before long, Fan Zhongyan's four sons grew up, all of them were intelligent and highly capable. They were appointed as prime ministers, public ministers and waitresses respectively. The great grandson of the Fan family, Duxian and noble, had lasted for more than 800 years. The descendants of the Fan family in Suzhou were still thriving.

Fan Zhongyan's kindness to seek the welfare of others at the expense of his own interests is immeasurable, and the rewards that God gave to Fan's grandchildren were dozens or hundreds of times what Fan Zhongyan paid at that time. Fan Zhongyan had no self-interest and sowed unexpected seeds of goodness. For eight hundred years, Fan Zhongyan kept blooming and fruiting, unintentionally seeking the welfare of his children and grandchildren, and became a model of good deeds, admired and praised by the world.

The Fan family has not declined for eight hundred years. It has accumulated a lot of virtue. It is true practice! It is a great blessing to be able to share your blessings with others. Don't enjoy all the blessings. If you share them with others, you will have endless future blessings. Zhuge Changqing believed that to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, we should really do it, and we should not deal with it carelessly.

Until the early years of the Republic of China, the descendants of the Fan family were able to maintain their family style and were very good. In Chinese history, there were not many families with such great virtues. Therefore, Fan Zhongyan's good deeds are worth imitating if the world wants to seek the welfare of its children and grandchildren.

Fan Zhongyan's family style can be passed down for thousands of years. Now let's think calmly. How long can the family style be passed down?

There is a saying in China that "the rich are only three generations". Why are the rich only three generations?

Because after he was rich, he did not know how to love others. Because he had money, he looked down on others, hurt his virtue and lost his fortune. Now not only three generations of rich people, but also one generation.

Why can't even a generation pass? Why can these sages last for thousands of years? The root is that the ideas passed on to the next generation are different. Zhuge Changqing praised Fan Zhongyan's kindness.

What are the ideas we are passing on to the next generation? It is selfish, only thinking of yourself.

Many parents also said that he tried his best to teach, but I don't know why he taught like this? So Lao Tzu said, "misfortunes and blessings depend on each other", and misfortunes and blessings exist at the same time. Why can't we be rich for three generations? Because there is no virtue, as long as there is money, the crisis will occur. Zhuge Changqing believed that, from ancient times to modern times, only the family that has done good deeds and accumulated virtue can last for a long time.

We see that Chinese sages and sages have great wisdom in creating characters. How to write the word "money"? There are two daggers (knives) beside the gold, so the more money there is, the more conflict there will be. The two swords, the conflicts between countries, and even the brothers in the family fight because of money. Now, because there is no sage's instruction, we often see brothers fighting for property in our daily life.

In fact, when his brother was fighting for property, his life had been lost, and he could not manage his life well, because his current action had set the worst example for his next generation. He showed his son that as long as he wanted money, his brothers could turn against each other.

Therefore, people have no foresight and can't see far. They all try to do something that will make life regretful. (Reference for this article: Xuefo. com)

阿弥陀佛。行善积德必有福报。家族兴旺、富贵吉祥。

---- 诸葛长青

　　阿弥陀佛。

   福生无量天尊。

   人生一切都是因果报应。

   善有善报恶有恶报。真实不虚。

   诸葛长青看到有善知识写了一篇好文章，分享给有缘者。

   这篇文章是“范仲淹行善积德八百年家族兴旺”。

   行善积德必有福报。

   范仲淹（989年－1052年），字希文，汉族，北宋著名的思想家、政治家、军事家、文学家。
   范仲淹幼年丧父，母亲改嫁长山朱氏，遂更名朱说。大中祥符八年（1015年），范仲淹苦读及第，授广德军司理参军，迎母归养，改回本名，后历任兴化县令、秘阁校理、陈州通判、苏州知州等职，因秉公直言屡遭贬斥。康定元年（1040年），与韩琦共同担任陕西经略安抚招讨副使，采取“屯田久守”方针，巩固西北边防。庆历三年（1043年），出任参知政事，上疏《答手诏条陈十事》，提出十项改革措施。庆历五年（1045年），新政受挫，范仲淹被贬出京，历任邠州、邓州、杭州、青州知州。皇祐四年（1052年），改知颍州，范仲淹扶疾上任，行至徐州，与世长辞，享年六十四岁，谥号文正，世称范文正公。
   范仲淹政绩卓著，文学成就突出，他倡导的“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”思想和仁人志士节操，对后世影响深远。诸葛长青认为，范仲淹的“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”的思想，影响了很多人。

   宋朝名相范仲淹，出身非常贫寒，年青时极穷，生活艰难，心想将来若能出人头地，定要救济贫苦者。诸葛长青认为，一个人的行善愿心很重要，善心一发啊，惊天动地。

   后来当了宰相，便把俸禄拿出来购置义田，给贫穷无田地者耕作。

　　年轻时念书没有东西吃，在寺庙里念书，每一天煮一锅粥(我们现在称稀饭)，把粥划成四格，每餐吃一格，过这样贫困的生活。

　　到以后发达了，做了宰相，一人之下万人之上。他的生活方式还是保持从前穷秀才的生活，没有改变多少，只是小幅度的调整。

　　有一次在苏州买屋居住，一位风水先生盛赞此屋，风水极佳，后代必出公卿。范仲淹心想，既然此屋风水能使后代显贵不如改为学堂，让苏州城百姓的子弟入学，将来众人的子弟都能贤达显贵，较之自己一家的子弟显贵，岂不是更为有益吗？于是立刻把住宅捐出来，改作学堂。实践了年青穷苦时念念利益众生的宿愿。

　　他收入多，就想到很多贫苦的人。把他的收入救济那些贫苦的人。看他的传记，得知他曾养活三百多家。一个人的收入养活了三百多家，你就晓得三百多家也只能糊口而已，都过很贫穷的生活。如果过得很富裕，他哪有能力养活三百多家。这是我们中国人中的大贤。

　　不久范仲淹四个儿子长大成人，均聪颖非凡德才兼备，分别官至宰相、公卿、侍郎，范家的曾孙都贤显贵，绵延不绝，传至今已超过八百年了，苏州一带范氏后人依然兴旺。

   范仲淹善心为他人谋福利，而牺牲自己的利益，其功德是无法估量的，而上天所回报给范氏子子孙孙的福禄，是范仲淹当时所付出的几十倍、几百倍，是范仲淹毫无利己之心，播下了意想不到的善种，八百年来不断地开花结果，无意之中为子孙万代谋福利，成为行善的典范，受世人的敬仰赞颂。

　　范家八百年不衰，都是积德积得厚，真正修行，真做！能够把自己的福报分给别人去享受，这是大福报。福报不要享尽了，分给别人享，后福就无穷了。诸葛长青认为，行善积德要真做真行，不能马虎应付。

　　一直到民国初年时，范家的子孙都能守住家风，都很好，在中国历史上像这样有大德的人家不多。所以，世人若要为子孙谋福利的话，范仲淹的善行值得效法。

　　范仲淹的家风可以千年传承，我们现在冷静思考一下，现在的家庭，家风能承传多久？

   中国有句话说“富不过三代”，富为什么不过三代？

   因为他富有之后，不懂得爱护他人，因为有了钱，瞧不起人，伤了他的德行，折了他的福分。现在不只是富不过三代，现在是连一代都过不了。

   为什么连一代都过不了？为什么这些圣哲人能绵延千年不衰？这个根源就在传给下一代的思想不一样了。诸葛长青赞叹范仲淹的善心善行。

   我们现在传给下一代的思想是什么？是自私，只想到自己。

   很多的家长也说他是尽心尽力教，但是也不知道为什么会教成这个样子？所以老子说，“祸福相依”，祸福是同时存在的，为什么富不过三代？因为没有德行，只要有钱，危机就出现了。诸葛长青认为，古往今来，只有行善积德的家族，才会绵延长久。

   我们看中国圣贤人创字很有智慧，这个“钱”字怎么写？金子旁边配了两支戈（就是刀），所以钱愈多会愈有冲突。这两支刀，国与国冲突，甚至于家庭里面兄弟操戈都是因为金钱。现在因为没有圣贤教诲，所以我们在日常生活常常都看到兄弟在争财产。

   其实当兄弟在争财产的时候，他这一生败相已露，他的人生不可能经营好，因为他现在的动作就已经给他的下一代做最不好的榜样。他示范给他儿子看的是只要为了钱，兄弟都可以反目成仇。

   所以人无远虑，看不远，都逞一时之意气，都做出一些会让人生遗憾的事。（本文参考资料：学佛网）
