Mencius, at whose age of 3 Father died, was brought up merely by his mother.
Mencius was fond of playing in his childhood and had a Strong imitativeness. 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.
