How did Samurai educate their children?

When I visited at Tsuruga Castle in Aizu-Wakamatsu, I found a one of the answers.

Because of the castle is a museum now, and we can touch some facts about Samurai's daily life and the history of Tsuruga Castle and so on. At that time, I was really interested in a practice of every child of Samurai.

So this time, I would like to write about the practice called Juu-No-Okite that is the rule of the group.

The children had to belong their group called Juu when their ages were from six to nine years old for entering their school Nisshin-Kan at their age of ten. So Juu-No-Okite was a rule of the group Juu that were small group of children and they usual played with the group.

And every evening, they recited the Juu-No-Okite and had a meeting for reviewing.

The contents were…

=========================================
1. Don't against what senior are saying.
2. We must make a bow for seniors.
3. Don't lie.
4. Don't act in a mean way.
5. Don't dully to any weak people.
6. Don't eat anything in the outside.
7. Don't talk anything with women in the outside.

And we can't do any forbad things.
=========================================

I think the rule includes two important means, first is looking up their seniors and two is helping weak people. Both would affect that they were be great leaders.

So, actually the Aizu-Wakamatsu domain was the most famous in valor. Because. Japanese valor should come with consideration for weak people.
