Filial piety itself has rich connotations, including how to respect adoptive parents, how to deal with their parents' faults, how to treat their own health, how to hold funerals for their parents, how to mourn for their parents, how to worship their ancestors, how to inherit wills, and how to make a name for themselves to show their ancestors.
In modern times, people began to reflect on traditional filial piety, including the reflection that birth is a gift from parents, that children should obey their parents and many forms of etiquette, and made some reforms. Today, the social situation has changed again, and people's understanding of filial piety has also produced new meanings, and they have begun to selectively inherit and develop the traditional filial piety culture.
Filial piety is a long-standing basic moral norm and fundamental value concept of the Chinese nation and one of the core contents of traditional culture. On the one hand, we have attached importance to the concept of human relations since ancient times, taking the family as the basic unit of society, and taking the growth of the family and the glory of our ancestors as the value pursuit. Filial piety can be said to be the general name of this series of norms of relationship and order.
On the other hand, people regard filial piety as the fundamental element of morality and value system, which is the premise of realizing many other morality and values (such as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, faith, etc.). ), so it is particularly emphasized. Filial piety has both rich connotations and long-term practice. The connotation of filial piety culture is not static, but has undergone many changes.
After the basic formation of filial piety, until modern times, although the connotation has changed, it can be said to be quite stable on the whole. Since modern times, the traditional filial piety culture has been severely impacted, and the social reality has undergone tremendous changes, as well as people's attitudes and practical behaviors towards filial piety.
Today, the society is stable for a long time, and people's understanding of filial piety has made new progress. Since we have experienced so much, we should realize that only by abandoning what should be abandoned, inheriting what should be inherited and creating what should be created can we give full play to the value of traditional filial piety culture today.
