The origin of the hall number: the hall number mostly comes from the allusions or anecdotes of a historical celebrity whose surname is ancestors. For example, Meng's "Three Movements to the Hall" is said that when Mencius was young, his family depended on the graveyard, and Mencius learned to bury graves and mourn.

In order to educate his son, Meng Mu moved to live next to the market. Mencius learned to peddle things again, so Meng Mu had to move again. Finally, he moved to the school to settle down, and Mencius learned to advance and retreat with courtesy. Because of Meng Mu's three moves, he paid attention to family education and made Mencius a saint.
