〈谨〉原文:
朝起早夜眠迟 老易至 惜此时 晨必盥 兼漱口 便溺回 辄净手
冠必正纽必结 袜与履 俱紧切 置冠服 有定位 勿乱顿 致污秽
衣贵洁不贵华 上循分 下称家 对饮食 勿拣择 食适可 勿过则
年方少勿饮酒 饮酒醉 最为丑
步从容立端正 揖深圆 拜恭敬 勿践阈 勿跛倚 勿箕踞 勿摇髀
缓揭帘勿有声 宽转弯 勿触棱 执虚器 如执盈 入虚室 如有人
事勿忙忙多错 勿畏难 勿轻略 斗闹场 绝勿近 邪僻事 绝勿问
将入门问孰存 将上堂 声必扬 人问谁 对以名 吾与我 不分明
用人物须明求 倘不问 即为偷 借人物 及时还 后有急 借不难
解说:
为人子,早上要尽量早起,晚上要晚点睡觉,因为人生的岁月很有限,光阴容易消逝,少年人一转眼就是老年人了,所以我们要珍惜现在宝贵的时光。
每天早上起床必须先洗脸,然后刷牙濑口,解完大小便以后把手洗干净,这样才是讲究卫生的好孩子 。
出门帽子要戴端正,穿衣服要把纽扣纽好;袜子和鞋子都要穿得贴切,鞋带要系紧,这样全身仪容才整齐。脱下来的帽子和衣服应当放置在固定的位置,不要随手乱丢乱放以免弄皱弄脏。穿衣服注重的是整齐清洁,不在衣服的昂贵华丽,而且要依照自己的身分穿着,也要配合家庭的经济状况。
对于食物不要挑剔偏食,而且要吃适当的份量,不要吃过量。我们年纪还小尚未成年,更不该尝试喝酒,因为喝醉了丑态百出,最容易表现出不当的言行。
走路时脚步要从容不迫,站立的姿势要端正。注意行礼时要把身子深深地躬下 ,跪拜时要恭敬尊重。
进门时不要踩到门槛,站立时要避免身子歪曲斜倚,坐着时不要双脚展开簸箕,或者是虎琚的样子,也不要抖脚或摇臀,这样才能表现优雅怡人的姿态。
进门的时候慢慢的揭开帘子,尽量不发出声响,走路转弯时与棱角要远一点,保持较宽的距离,才不会碰到棱角伤了身体;拿空的器具要像拿盛满的一样小心,进到没人的屋子里,要像进到有人的屋子里一样。
做事不要匆匆忙忙,匆忙就容易出错,遇到该办的事情不要怕困难,而犹豫退缩,也不要轻率随便而敷衍了事。容易发生打斗的场所,我们不要靠近逗留;对于邪恶怪僻的事情,不必好奇的去追问。
将要入门之前先问一下:"有人在吗"?将要走进厅堂时,先放大音量要让厅堂里的人知道;假使有人请问:"你是谁",回答时要说出自己的名字,如果只说"吾"或是"我",对方就听不清楚到底是谁。我们要使用别人的物品,必须事前对人讲清楚,如果没有得到允许就拿来用,那就相当于偷窃的行为。借用他人的物品用完了要立刻归还,以后遇到急用再向人借时,就不会有太多的困难。这些平常语言行为的要则,让我们即知即行,掌握自己,使处事更有效率,待人更为和谐,创造一个身心调和的环境。如果我们一时做不到也不必气馁,只要能清楚的辨别方向,认同圣贤的教化,肯用功夫慢慢的琢磨,就像璞石也能慢慢地呈现出美玉来。
