Ji Wenzi was born in a family in it runs in the family. He was a famous minister of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period and served as an official for more than 30 years. ? He has been frugal all his life, based on frugality, and also asked his family to be frugal. He just wants to dress simply and neatly. Apart from the imperial costume, there are few decent clothes, and every time I go out, the horses and chariots I ride are extremely humble.
Seeing that he was so frugal, a man named Wang advised his son, "You are a senior official and respected, but I heard that you don't pay attention to your appearance and clothes yourself." Isn't it too shabby to make people in other countries laugh at you? This is also detrimental to the dignity of our country. Why not change this way of life? This is good for both countries. Why not? " ?
Hearing this, Ji Wenzi smiled indifferently and said to the man seriously, "I also hope to decorate my home luxuriously and elegantly, but look at the people in our country, and many people still eat coarse grains that are hard to swallow." With this in mind, how can I have the heart to buy my own property? If ordinary people are poor in tea and clothes, and I dress up as my wife and concentrate on raising food and horses, it will be heartless to be an official!
2. Zhao Kuangyin?
Zhao Kuangyin teaches women to be frugal? The fairy mansion in heaven is the home of the emperor on earth.

3. Deng Xiaoping?
Deng Xiaoping's frugal life is accompanied by many touching details, which are fascinating and unforgettable. "A porridge and a meal are hard to come by; Half a silk and half a wisp, it is difficult to think about matter. "
Now some people who get rich first have regarded thrift as stingy and waste as promoting consumption. But these people have completely forgotten the lack of our resources. The per capita possession of cultivated land, fresh water, forest, oil and natural gas in China is only 1/3, 1/4, 1/5,110 and 1/22 of the world average respectively. Among more than 600 cities in China, more than 400 cities are short of water supply.
Austerity is the most important choice to deal with the shortage of resources.
4. Lei Feng's frugal spirit?
* * * Lei Feng, a production soldier, paid attention to economy everywhere in his life. What is the monthly allowance he received after joining the army? Except for the tour fare, books and other necessary daily necessities, everything else has been deposited in the savings office.
His socks are always mended? Wear, wear and repair. I have changed beyond recognition, and I can't bear to buy a new pair. There are many scars on the enamel washbasin and washing cup, so I am reluctant to throw them away and bought another one.
His underwear has also been mended a lot. However, when the troops issue summer clothes, according to the regulations, each person can receive two sets of single military uniforms. A shirt and two pairs of shoes, Lei Feng only took one pair, saying it was "enough to wear". ?

He has always advocated building the country through diligence and thrift, demanding that "all hospitality must be domestic, frugal and simple, not extravagant and wasteful, lacking revolutionary spirit and hard work style".
Comrade Zhu Guangya once recalled a story:196165438+on February 4th, a special committee was convened to consider a plan of the Second Machinery Department at that time. The meeting lasted from morning to noon, and Premier Zhou invited everyone to have lunch. On the dining table is a big bowl of meatballs cooked with cabbage and tofu, surrounded by several dishes of pickles and sesame cakes.
Premier Zhou and everyone eat at the same table and eat the same food. This story sounds instructive so far. In Premier Zhou, there are countless such examples.
1In the summer of 962, Premier Zhou visited Liaoning Province. As soon as he stayed, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the comrade in charge of reception, saying, "Nothing can be written on it."
It turns out that this list contains more than 20 forbidden dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and so on. It is these little things that cast their great personality charm and make them the embodiment of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and the glorious traditions of our party and army.
