Although it is an important component of the social etiquette of ancient feudal emperors, and the original purpose of the "Twenty-four Filial Piety" is also to maintain etiquette, as one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, filial piety is still worth learning and inheriting. and promoted.

Class 19 of 2018? Gao Xijing

After reading "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" Picture stories, I’m of two minds about these stories.

The first is that there are stories worth learning from these stories. For example, tasting the soup and medicine personally. This story tells about a child who took great care of his mother when her mother was sick and personally tasted the soup and medicine for her mother. I think we can do this, and it is a reasonable filial piety.

Of course, there are many filial piety in feudal society in these stories, which made me unbearable after reading them. For example, Wang Xiang in "Lying on the Ice Seeking Carp", in order to honor his parents, he even made fun of his own life. This is a very obvious act of foolish filial piety. There is also Guo Ju in Guo Ju Buries His Son. In order to honor his mother, he actually thought of burying his son, which is very scary to read.

But these are the filial piety of ancient children towards their parents. Some are very undesirable, and some are worthy of our study. Therefore, we must "take the essence and discard the dross" and follow the principles of equality, morality and law. Honoring parents on the basis of their own conduct is not the ancient foolish filial piety, nor is it blind obedience. Only by practicing correct filial piety can a family be happy!

Mr. Lu Xun once criticized "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" in "Morning Blossoms Picked Up at Dusk" Picture" reveals the hypocrisy and cruelty of feudal filial piety.

I agree with this. In "Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety", there are many things that are contrary to human nature and feudal superstition, such as "bury children to serve their mother", "crying bamboo shoots", "filial piety moves heaven", etc. In particular, "burying children to serve their mothers" makes people deeply feel the ruthlessness and inhumanity of filial piety in feudal society. At the same time, it also reflects the ignorant understanding of "filial piety" in ancient times. "Filial piety" should be a human virtue. However, it became a tool of feudal rulers and violated its essence of beauty. This has to be said to be the tragedy of Chinese history. However, "taking the essence and discarding the dross" is the virtue of "filial piety" that we should adhere to. The historical limitations of "Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety" make it go against today's morality, but there are also things worth learning from it, such as "abandoning one's official position to seek one's mother", which is a virtuous spirit that never abandons and persists in seeking one's mother. In short, we discard the hypocritical ones, learn from the valuable ones, and build "filial piety" on the basis of today's morality and law.

Class 19 of 2018? . What is worthy of inheritance is the respect, love and concern for parents, and the spirit of serving parents from the heart. Almost all of the twenty-four stories contain this spirit, which has eternal value. This is also the core and essence of "Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety". In the process of reading "Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety", we should understand the ancients with sympathy. They did not want future generations to follow them through these stories, but told the world about the word "filial piety" through these stories.

"Filial piety" originated from primitive society, and it strengthened the feudal society, so it must have its historical limitations, including the concept of foolish filial piety, blindness, superstition, and even some conflicts with human nature. The place of departure. For example, lying on the ice to beg for carp, eating mosquitoes to fill up the blood, weeping at the tomb when hearing thunder, etc. These are not worth promoting. Although carving wood to make love shows a sincere heart, it seems a bit ridiculous today.

In today’s society, the filial piety we advocate is civilized and rational. Therefore, we should not absorb everything in "Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety" without analysis. Parents and children are equal in personality, so we should promote the concept of "father is kind and son is filial", and inherit and carry forward the essence of filial piety culture.

Class 19 of 2018? Gao Mingxuan

When I read the Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures, I did not agree with many of the ideas contained in it. Especially the two stories of burying a son to serve his mother and eating mosquitoes full of blood.

The hypocrisy of feudal ethics is everywhere reflected in the story of burying a son to serve his mother. In order to serve his mother, Guo Ju went so far as to bury his own son. If it weren’t for the gold, his son would have become a child. There are dead souls in the soil. Do parents have to abandon their children to support the elderly? In ancient times, there was a tradition of abandoning the elderly. Although I don't agree with it, it is also for the development of human society. If a society does not have young people, it would be a terrible thing. I do not agree with this kind of foolish filial piety.

What’s even more bizarre is the story about the mosquito-riddled family. Wu Meng’s family in the Jin Dynasty was poor and had no mosquito net. Mosquito bites prevented his father from sleeping peacefully. Every summer night, Wu Meng would always sit naked in front of his father's bed, letting mosquitoes bite him without driving them away, fearing that the mosquitoes would leave him and bite his father. This story greatly exceeded my imagination. Although the ancients did not have such advanced tools as electric mosquito swatters, they should have had fans. Are they not even willing to kill mosquitoes, but hope that mosquitoes will bite them? How ridiculous! This is clearly done for the sake of filial piety, and staged for the sake of writing a book. It is nothing more than a yoke invented by feudal rulers to imprison people's thoughts.

There is nothing wrong with this book in trying to express the key points of filial piety, but the stories it chooses are a bit exaggerated, so we must take the essence and discard the dross, abandon its misleading, and learn its spirit , carry forward the five thousand years of history of the Chinese nation.

In the past few days, I read the Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures in Morning Blossoms and Dusk Picks, and checked online According to some information, these stories are indeed filial piety, but they are all foolish filial piety. Among them, the story that impressed me the most is "Guo Ju Buries His Son". The story tells that in modern times there was a man named Guo Ju. He divided his family property into two parts and raised them himself. The mother, seeing her wife giving birth to a son, thought: The son can be reborn, but the mother can no longer be filial to her after she died, so she decided to bury the son to support the mother. He dug a hole and buried the son's body. At that time, a bucket of gold appeared in the pit, which saved his son from death. I was deeply moved after reading this story. I think this is not foolish filial piety, but a natural expression of human nature. Our parents' kindness to us cannot be exchanged for our hearts, livers, and lungs. If he buried his son, we would definitely believe that it was Guo Ju's helpless act, and we would be very sad in our hearts. His son was his own flesh and blood! What a pious filial piety! It's just that he understands that people can't be resurrected after death. His mother is old and he doesn't have long to accompany his mother, but he still has a long time to spend with his son! So, this reminds me of what I have learned in the text "Walking". When walking on a path, the author carried his mother on his back for fear of her falling, as if he had the whole world on his back! In life, although you cannot bury your children to serve your mother like Guo Ju, you can at least start with small things and honor your parents!

Wu Xuefei

Mr. Lu Xun severely criticized several stories of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety in "Morning Blossoms Picked Up at Dusk" and exposed it The nature of thoughts that harm people. From the moment I saw this comment, I wanted to read the Twenty-Four Filial Piety.

After reading it, you can easily conclude that this was born from the feudal thinking of ancient China. Some stories in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety are worthy of praise because they really praise filial piety, but some stories are really incomprehensible.

Let me tell you a few stories that impressed me deeply.

The first one is Guo Ju Burian. I believe that most people find this story ridiculous when they see it, and Guo Ju's thoughts are even more incomprehensible. I cannot understand that someone who honors his mother would kill his own son. It is good to be filial to one's mother, but to be ruthless enough to kill one's own son shows how poisonous ancient feudal ideas are to people.

The most important idea of ??respecting the elderly took root in the hearts of ancient people and was buried deep, so the younger generation is a generation without status. Originally, respecting the elderly was a fine tradition, but after being exaggerated in this way, it turned out to be inhumane.

The second one is Lao Laiyu. The previous story was incomprehensible to me, but Lao Laizi made me feel funny and ridiculous. It's really ridiculous for an old man to pretend to be a baby just to make his parents happy.

From the figure of Lao Laizi, I also saw a group of people who were poisoned by feudal ideas in ancient times. True filial piety should be to help parents with substantial help or moral support, rather than belittle oneself to make others laugh.

Such a book was once the enlightenment reading for a generation. It is really sad to have been persecuted by ideological restrictions since childhood.

Filial piety should be about caring about your parents from the bottom of your heart, being grateful to your parents through actions, and taking good care of yourself so as not to worry your parents. However, foolish filial piety makes the excellent quality of filial piety unreasonable.

The Twenty-Four Filial Piety, in my eyes, is the epitome of feudal society. It shows me the darkness of Chinese society, and it is the product of sorrow.

There are many bad things in Chinese classical culture, just like the Twenty-Four Filial Piety, just like many other books. These books are books that we learn from and learn from, but cannot believe.

——Filial piety should be moderate, not excessive

Li Jiayue, Class 19, 2018

"Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety" is a story used to enlighten and educate people about filial piety and respect for elders, but Not all the stories in it are good. Among them, the issue of appropriate filial piety has many manifestations.

For example, Guo Ju buried his son to serve his mother. I believe many people find this behavior extremely ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with wanting to serve his mother, but when he did this, he forgot about another kind of love, the love of his parents. This story exaggerates filial piety and Guo Ju's stupid filial piety, completely ignoring the love of his parents, which is puzzling.

Another example is selling one’s body to bury one’s father. Wanting to bury his parents was a sign of love for his father, but he ruined his own future just for the sake of this "filial piety". There are many ways to bury his father, including making money or raising donations, but he chose the most extreme way to interpret this ridiculous "filial piety".

I think our filial piety should be to always think about our parents like "caring for the deceased relatives"; it should be to honor our parents in small things like "tasting the medicine for ourselves"; it should be to "purify the body" Filial piety that helps parents in life.

Filial piety is an excellent traditional virtue in China, but we cannot go too far and let filial piety change its flavor.

Parents’ remarks

I read the Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures

Class 19? Wang Qianyu’s mother

The original name of "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures" was "The Complete Poems of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety" "Collection" was compiled by Guo Jujing of the Yuan Dynasty. It tells the story of twenty-four filial sons who were filial to their parents. Twenty-four of them were the protagonists of the twenty-four filial sons from Yu Shun in ancient times to Huang Tingjian in the Northern Song Dynasty.

When I read these twenty-four stories about filial piety, my first feeling after reading them was that I was very shocked. I thought that the actions they performed were very difficult for ordinary people to do.

However, after reading Lu Xun’s "Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety", my understanding of them has also changed. ( ) I no longer think that those behaviors are true filial piety, they are only superficial, such as In "Buried Son to Serve Mother", Cai Shun decided to kill his biological son in order to take care of his mother. I think this is very ironic, would a grandma watch her own grandson being killed for herself? Therefore, when Cai Shun made this decision, he did not really think in the position of his mother. Therefore, the filial piety we should learn is not blind filial piety like Cai Shun.

I read the Pictures of Twenty-Four Filial Piety

Class 19? Liu Jing’s mother

The full name of "Pictures of Twenty-Four Filial Piety" is "Selected Poems of Quanxiang Twenty-Four Filial Piety" which was compiled by Guo Jujing in the Yuan Dynasty . A collection of stories about twenty-four filial sons from different dynasties who performed filial piety from different perspectives, different environments, and different encounters. It is a popular reading book in ancient China that promotes Confucianism and filial piety. I think it advocates a spirit of filial piety that is worth learning, but the behavioral practices and feudal backward ideas it represents should be "abandoned." The "burial of children to serve their mother" makes me quite shocked and sad. Guo After Ju's father died, he divided the family property into two shares and gave them to his two younger brothers. He was very filial to his mother and was very filial to his mother. However, the family gradually became poor and his wife gave birth to a son, so he and his wife decided to bury the child. Their reason is: The mother cannot be resurrected after death, but the child can be born again. They finally implemented this plan...

First of all, I think Guo Ju's filial piety to his mother is very worthwhile. What people today appreciate and learn from is that he can give up money and interests and treat his mother with a grateful heart, which is admirable compared to his two younger brothers.

However, it is admirable. What I can't understand at all is their reason for burying their children. I think life is sacred and holy and should be cherished by everyone.

Nothing can be placed above life, and it should not be treated as a material for exchange. This is tainted and disrespectful to life. Guo Ju obviously does not understand the true meaning of life, let alone respect it. This is stupid and sad...

Secondly, I think Guo Ju, as a father of a child, has no responsibility and responsibility at all. Take responsibility. What a father should do is to care for, care about, love and protect his children. This is the most basic principle, and you should not make any excuses to evade your responsibilities. Can a mother continue to live only by giving up her child? I don’t think so. This is just the Guo Ju couple’s evasion and excuse for responsibility. This is incorrect.

From a piece of content, we will find many thoughts and concepts that are inconsistent with today's society. It can be seen that some of the stories propagated in ancient times are not entirely correct. We should understand and evaluate these historical stories with correct concepts, so that we can learn better, that is, "take the essence and discard the dross"!

　Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures

Class 19? Zhang Jinhun’s mother

Before, I always thought that the people in "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures" were very filial. But after reading Mr. Lu Xun’s description in "Morning Blossoms Plucked at Dusk", I watched it again with my own eyes. Only then did I realize that this was originally a story about a group of poor people who were deceived by feudal filial piety.

For example, take Lao Laizi who was married to Lao Laiyu. An old man in his seventies wore colorful clothes and pretended to fall to make his parents laugh. Is this necessary? This is not a question of filial piety or not, but the destruction of human nature!

There is also Guo Ju among Guo Ju’s buried children. He can only be described as stupid. Why did his mother raise him? It was so that he and his "wife" could grow up and live a better life. But what about him? He actually had to bury his own child in order to be "filial". Not only did he fail to think about his parents' wishes, but he also failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a parent. He just always obeyed the feudal filial piety, and was deceived to the point of hopelessness.

In my opinion, some of the so-called "filial piety" in ancient times is just a cruel tool used by feudal rulers to maintain their rule, regardless of the consequences! Not worthy of learning by future generations.

I read "Huang Xiang Wenxi" from the Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures

Class 20 of 2018? Zhao Junzhe

When Huang Xiang was a child, although his mother died young, he grew up Know how to honor your father. In the winter night, the weather was very cold. Huang Xiang's hand holding the scroll immediately became cold. He thought: It must be very cold for his father to sleep at night, so he put down the scroll, walked into his father's room, laid out the quilt, got into the bed, and used He used his body temperature to warm the bed before letting his father sleep.

Huang Xiang expressed her gratitude to her parents through her actions, telling us that honoring our parents should start with the small things around us. Living conditions are much better now, with heating, air conditioning, and electric blankets. We no longer need to warm the quilts for our parents like Huang Xiang, but we can do a lot. For example, when faced with criticism from parents, be less aggressive and more tolerant, complain less and be more introspective. Can you give your parents a cup of hot water after they come home from get off work? Chat and communicate more with them during weekends, and help them with housework.

In fact, honoring your parents does not require doing many earth-shattering things. You only need to keep your parents in mind, care about them, respect them, and implement gratitude in small things.

"The thread is in the hands of a loving mother, and the clothes are on the body of a wanderer. There is a tight seam before leaving, and I am afraid that I will return late. Whoever speaks a heart of grass will be rewarded with three springs." Parents not only give us life, but also give us A lot of meticulous care makes us a grateful person.

After reading this article, I felt deeply in my heart. When I think of Ding Lan carving a statue and worshiping it every day because she misses her parents so much, I feel bad in my heart. On the one hand, Ding Lan's deeds moved me, and on the other hand, it was my own condemnation of myself.

Now in the 21st century, we all take the love given by our parents for granted, and squander it so much that in the end our parents' hearts are bruised and bruised, and we ourselves will be very uncomfortable. As the saying goes: A tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; a child wants to be nourished but cannot be loved. Isn’t this story the same truth? Ding Lan could do these earth-shattering things for his dead parents, but we don’t know how to cherish it in the harbor of our parents’ love. So, don’t wait until you feel that proverb before you know how to respond to your parents’ love. By then it will be too late. We can only cherish everything our parents have done for us from now on and respond to it, so that we will not let it go. They are heartbroken. Maybe it is wrong and unreasonable for Ding Lan to divorce his wife, but it is all out of his filial piety. If we don't have the kind of earth-shattering love he has for his parents, how can we understand his behavior towards his wife.

I read "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures" "Nursing Aunt Bu Lao"

Class 20? Gao Chizhou

"Nu Gu Bu Lao" tells the story of Cui Shannan's family in the Tang Dynasty. A grandmother's daughter-in-law uses breast milk to nourish her mother-in-law, who is already a great-grandmother, and never slackens in her filial piety.

This is a big family with four generations living under one roof. As Cui Shannan’s grandmother, Cui Tang, she is already the elder in this family.

But she still treats her mother-in-law like a filial son and a virtuous grandson. Her filial piety not only enabled her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhangsun, to live longer, but also set an example for her children and grandchildren to respect the elderly. Even though her descendants are rich and powerful, they are still very filial to her and other elders. This is the good result of leading by example. Therefore, later generations have a poem that says: "Filial piety will beget filial sons, and disobedience will beget disobedient sons. If you don't believe it, just look at the rain in front of the eaves, and it will move every bit."

As the saying goes: "One generation will make a difference." One generation sees it." In terms of filial piety, it is very important to lead by example. The filial piety of the elders is a role model for the younger generation.

Filial piety is an important part of the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. The ancient Chinese Confucian ethics work "The Classic of Filial Piety" writes: "The filial piety of a husband is the scripture of heaven and the meaning of earth." Mencius When explaining the policy of governing the country to King Hui of Liang, he also mentioned the need to "respect the teachings of Xiangxu and apply the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood." "Filial piety" is also the core of Confucian ethical thought and has been the way to maintain family relationships in Chinese society for thousands of years. The moral code of morality is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. And we must inherit "filial piety" and promote "filial piety" so that the long-standing and profound national culture of the Chinese nation can be carried forward.

I read the Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures - Guo Jumi'er

Wang Zhuoxin, Class 20, 2018

The story of Guo Jumi'er is very simple: Guo Ju's original family The road is solid. After his father died, he divided the family property into two shares and gave them to his two younger brothers. He was solely supported by his mother and was extremely filial to her. Later, the family gradually became poor and his wife gave birth to a boy. Guo Ju was worried that raising this child would inevitably affect the support of his mother, so he discussed with his wife: "We can have another son, but the mother cannot be resurrected after death, so it is better to bury the son and save some food to support the mother." ." When they were digging a hole, they suddenly saw a jar of gold two feet underground, and wrote: "God has given Guo Ju, officials cannot take it, and the people cannot take it." The couple received gold, returned home to honor their mother, and were able to raise their children.

The reason why this story is included in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures is because Guo Ju planned to bury his son in order to support his mother. Fortunately, a jar of gold was dug two feet underground, otherwise Guo Ju's son would have had a different fate. I think Guo Jiumian'er's article has a very strong superstitious color and is very absurd and ignorant. I think everyone should be filial to their parents and always have filial piety in their hearts, but killing a son in order to support his mother is absolutely undesirable. Isn't a son a life? If your family is poor, you can think of more ways. Even if you let your two younger brothers take care of your mother, the son is yours, but it does not mean that the power of life and death of the son is also in your hands. Although Guo Ju has filial piety, he has no intention of killing his son. It violates the laws of nature, which is a kind of foolish filial piety. This kind of behavior that innocently harms others for the sake of filial piety is not worthy of praise and imitation.

So how should we honor our parents? I think now that we do not have the financial ability to support our parents materially, then we should not sit on the sofa and talk about promises to our parents. We must help our parents in daily life and do what we can. This is what is important to us at this stage. Talk about being truly filial to your parents.

The Twenty-Four Filial Piety: "Carving Wood to Care for Marriage"

Class 20 of 2018? Jia Zixuan

Ding Lan, according to legend, was a native of Hanoi during the Eastern Han Dynasty, with two parents when he was young. After his death, Ding Lan thought about not being able to provide for his parents and missed his parents' hard work in raising him, so he carved a portrait out of wood and made it look like life. Everything is discussed with the wooden statue. He eats three meals a day after serving his parents. He must inform him before going out and meet him when he returns home. He never slacks off. Over time, Ding Lan's wife lost respect for the wooden statue. He pricked the wooden statue's fingers with needles, but his wife saw blood flowing out from between his fingers. When Ding Lan came back, tears actually flowed from the eyes of the wooden statues. After Ding Lan found out the truth, he divorced his wife.

When I think of Ding Lan carving a statue and worshiping it every day because she misses her parents so much, I feel bad in my heart. On the one hand, I was moved by Ding Lan's filial piety, but on the other hand, it was my own condemnation of myself. Nowadays, we all take the love given by our parents for granted, and squander it so much that our parents' hearts are bruised and bruised in the end. Who has ever thought that nothing is absolute in the world? Getting the love of our parents is a kind of happiness for us. , however when we don’t care about their love, we will also feel very uncomfortable when we lose love. As the saying goes: A tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; a child wants to be nourished but cannot be kissed. Isn’t this story the same truth? Ding Lan could do these earth-shattering things for his dead parents, but we don’t know how to cherish it in the harbor of our parents’ love. So, don’t wait until you feel that proverb before you know how to respond to your parents’ love. By then it will be too late. We can only cherish everything our parents have done for us from now on and respond to it, so that we will not let it go. They are heartbroken.

Let us strive to be filial sons for the love our parents give us!

After reading "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures", I was attracted by the filial piety of the characters in the story I was deeply moved. As an emperor, Emperor Wen of Han had many affairs every day, but he personally tasted medicine for his mother. Shun was murdered by his relatives many times, but he still respected them. Min Ziqian was abused by his stepmother, but he still spoke for her. We are not abused by our parents, but "served" by our parents, and we should repay our parents in the same way. But the Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety are ancient understanding after all, and many specific practices are no longer in line with current understanding. For example, Guo Ju buried his second son to honor his parents, but the method was too extremely cruel and is not advisable for us. Regarding the Twenty-Four Filial Piety, we must critically study and learn the excellent spirit. Honoring our parents, for us, should start from small things, not necessarily reflected in big things. Therefore, we must honor our parents in every aspect of our lives.

I look at the Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety - Filial Piety Moves Heaven

Class 20, 2018? Ren Yuqi

Shun, the legendary ancient emperor, one of the Five Emperors. His surname is Yao, his given name is Chonghua, and his nickname is Yu. His name is Yu Shun. It is said that Shun's father, stepmother and half-brother tried to kill him many times: when they asked him to repair the roof of the barn, they set fire under the barn. When Shun discovered this, he immediately jumped down and escaped with two bamboo hats in hand. When Shun was asked to dig a well, his two brothers went down to fill the well and Shun dug a tunnel to escape. After this incident, Shun didn't resent it at all. He was still respectful to his father and loving to his brother in every possible way. His filial piety moved the Emperor of Heaven. Shun plowed the mountains, with elephants plowing for him and birds weeding for him. Emperor Yao heard that Shun was very filial and had the ability to handle political affairs. Then he gave his two daughters in marriage. After years of observation and testing, he decided to choose Shun as his successor. After Shun ascended the throne as emperor, he went to visit his father. He was still respectful and made Xiang Xiang a prince.

This story clearly reflects the filial piety of children towards their parents.

Honoring parents is not foolish filial piety, nor is it blind obedience, but is reflected in every aspect of life. Shun's family wanted to kill him many times, but he did not hold any resentment and was still filial to his parents. I felt his tolerance and generosity. Therefore, we must learn from Shun and help our parents with ordinary little things and say a word of care about our parents every day. This is fulfilling our filial piety.

The story of the official looking for his mother. It tells the story: During the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Zhu Shouchang, who was also a very famous filial son. His biological mother was Mrs. Liu, and his legitimate wife was jealous that she had a child and drove her out of the Zhu family. Since then, mother and son have been separated and have not been able to see each other for fifty years. For fifty years, he missed his mother all the time. Everywhere he went to serve as an official, he would look for traces of her. But it’s not easy to find someone in such a huge crowd. When Song Shenzong was in power, he no longer wanted to be an official, so he decided to resign from his official position to find his mother. Before leaving, he informed his family of his decision and swore: "If I can't find my mother, I will never go home in this life!" This time, he focused on finding his mother in Qin (today's Shaanxi). Later, after going through all kinds of hardships, he finally found his mother in Tongzhou (now Dali County, Shaanxi Province). Liu was already in her seventies at that time.

"Filial piety" is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, "filial piety" has been the most basic moral code for a person's conduct in life, and filial piety is the foundation of being a human being. Meng Yizi asked about filial piety, and he said, "It's no violation." Fan Chiyu said. The Confucius told him, "When Meng Sun asked about filial piety to me, I said nothing wrong." Fan Chi said, "What do you mean?" Confucius said, "When you are alive, do things with etiquette; when you die, bury them with etiquette and offer sacrifices with etiquette. "Rites." Confucius attached great importance to filial piety and required people to be filial to their parents, whether they were alive or dead. When performing filial piety, one should not violate the rules of etiquette, otherwise it is not true filial piety. It can be seen that filial piety is not empty or casual. Acting according to etiquette is the real "filial piety"! In life, we should inherit and carry forward this traditional virtue based on respecting and supporting our parents. "Filial piety" is a kind of grateful feedback of family affection, and one should perform due obligations to one's parents. "Filial piety" is not just a noun, but a verb, not just a verbal word, but reflected in every moment of life.
