Professor Fei Yong commented on Yuan Liaofan's "Four Lessons of Liaofan": "Because it is written for future generations, it is particularly sincere, and I try my best to teach my life's experience and lessons, all my life insights to my children, hoping that they can live a good life." The family motto left by Yuan Liaofan, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty, to his descendants is based on his lifelong knowledge, experience and insights, and earnestly teaches the truth that "my destiny is determined by myself, not by God." Do good deeds and get good results - persuading people to be good and seek an upright life with a worldly heart, it can be regarded as a timeless lifestyle manual.
