Why should we learn traditional culture and receive sage education?
Since ancient times, there have been no people in China who don't pay attention to filial piety. No matter how far away their ancestors are, they have to sacrifice every year. I have been obsessed with my ancestors for thousands of years, and there is no reason to be unfilial to my parents! The reason why China people can have a great blessing is that the root of this great blessing comes from filial piety. The Analects of Confucius said: "Be cautious in pursuing the future, and the people are virtuous." Although this sentence is said in form, its theory is extremely profound. "Pursuing the distance with caution" is to teach people how to repay kindness without forgetting their roots, which is the basis of a good personality. "Filial piety is the root of China culture, and respect is the foundation of China culture." If everyone does not forget his roots and can worship his ancestors with reverence and respect every year, then the customs and people's feelings will naturally be simple and the society will naturally be stable and harmonious, which is the effect of sacrifice.

Filial piety is the way of human relations and the foundation of social stability and world peace.

The Book of Filial Piety says: "Filial piety is the foundation of virtue, and it is born of teaching." Filial piety is the root of morality and the source of education. "Father and son are filial" is human nature, and the love between parents and children is innate and does not need to be taught. I often say that "life is a hundred days, and the body is really exposed." In the one hundred days of his life, his physical behavior showed truth and eternity. Look at the baby's love for parents. He can't speak yet, and no one has taught him, but you can clearly see his love for his parents from his eyes and his actions. Parents' love for their baby can also be seen from their eyes and actions. So you see the first virtue in self. This first virtue is "love", which is called "dear" by people in China. This is the most precious quality of life. At this time, the love between parents and children is completely naive, without any hypocrisy. It is natural for parents to love their children from the heart, and so is the love of children for their parents. What is this? This is the core of China's five ethics, which is called "father-son correlation". This kind of love existed thousands of years ago, and people still have it now, and it has not changed because of the difference of time and space, so it is natural and an eternal truth beyond time and space. This is called Tao; Taking this ethical road is called "virtue". Therefore, China people have emphasized "virtue" since ancient times, because it is an important quality that conforms to nature and humanity.
