3. Di Zi Gui - 1 Rules for Children talks about the advices given by wise men from ancient times. First, you must obey your parents, respect your older siblings, love your younger siblings, be careful in your speech, and keep your promise to others. You should have a generous love towards others, and try to befriend people with good manners. If you can do the above and still have energy left, you can proceed to study literature and other knowledge.

12. Di Zi Gui - 4 You should tell your parents everything, even little things and not do as you wish without consulting them.

Hiding things is the same as stealing, and this will make your parents feel sad and shameful.

18. Di Zi Gui - 6 You should love your younger siblings and respect your older siblings. Parents like to see their children live happily together and the family in harmony. Therefore, harmony among siblings is also an expression of filial piety. Money is a material thing. Do not fight with your family members over every penny, since doing this tends to breed anger and jealousy. Your speech and attitude should be friendly, patient, and forgiving. If you do this, the anger and the grudge in your heart will disappear naturally, and parents will not have to worry.
