Confucius attached great importance to filial piety and asked people to be filial to their parents, regardless.
Whether it is life or death, it should be like this. However, filial piety should not violate etiquette rules.
Otherwise, it is not true filial piety. It can be seen that filial piety is not vague and arbitrary, but it will.
Obeying etiquette rules is filial piety.
There are many dutiful sons in Chinese history. "Min has a good man who once resented Li Niang; Before the mother stays in the car, the third son is free from wind and frost. " There is no hole in the father's loan, and Ji Xian meets a stranger; Weaving thread tasted the creditor, Yong Dong, who touched heaven with filial piety, sold herself to bury her father; The loving mother was afraid of hearing thunder. She stayed on the ice platform all night. When A Xiang was shocked, she went a thousand times and cried at Wang Pou's grave, where she heard thunder. .......
Filial piety is a pure and simple love of gratitude. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a small official named Uncle Ying Kao. On one occasion, he went to see Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong gave him a meal, but he put the sliced meat aside and couldn't bear to eat it. Zhuang Gong was very surprised and asked him why. Uncle Yingkao said, "My mother has never eaten anything so delicious. Please allow me to take it home to show my respect for my mother. " Zhuanggong was very moved after hearing this: a small official does not forget his mother in front of delicious food. This kind of grateful love is so sincere, selfless and moving in the causal process of "goodness" and "gratitude". Thanks to the dripping water, it will be rewarded by spring. What's more, it is the grace of parenting!
Filial piety is a kind of self-sacrifice that does not seriously damage one's physical and mental health. There was a famous dutiful son in Jin Dynasty-Wu Meng. He comes from a poor family and only has a small house that can barely shelter from the wind and rain. In summer, he can't sleep at home on hot nights, and he can't sleep because of mosquito bites. Seeing that his parents couldn't sleep well at night, Wu Meng used an electric fan to repel mosquitoes from his parents every night, then stripped off and sat by his parents' bed, and mosquitoes came to bite him. One night, my father got up to go to the toilet and found Martin sitting on the bed. Then, when he saw the swollen bag on Martin's body, he finally understood. This incident was known by the local satrap, and a mosquito net was sent to Wu Meng in exchange for Wu Meng's filial piety. This behavior of sacrificing oneself to express love for parents seems very small, but suddenly it feels like a giant, which needs us to look up and make people move!
Filial piety is a kind of deep affection to face parents with a tolerant heart. Shun is the legendary ancient emperor. According to legend, his father, stepmother and half-brother tried to kill him many times: when Shun was ordered to repair the roof of the barn, he set fire to it from under the barn, and Shun jumped off with two hats to escape; Shun digs a well, goes down to fill it, and shun digs a tunnel to escape. Afterwards, Shun was not jealous, but still obeyed his father and loved his younger brother. His filial piety touched the Emperor of Heaven. Shun plowed the fields in Lishan Mountain, the elephants plowed the fields for him and the birds mowed the grass for him. After Shun ascended the throne, he went to see his father, still respectfully, and made him a vassal. This tolerant heart not only embodies its noble moral sentiment, but also confirms the essential meaning of Confucius' saying "not disobeying", that is, serving parents with courtesy and being famous for filial piety!
Filial piety is a golden full moon hanging high in the night sky, bright and flawless, gentle and clear, shining on the earth; Filial piety is a thorough stream, winding along the trend, crystal clear, pollution-free, flowing into the valley; Filial piety is an endless green grassland, full of green eyes, which comes into view and embellishes the colorful world; Filial piety is a wind chime bathed in the summer afternoon breeze, which tinkles gently and stirs the strings in the heart, causing * * * to ring.
"Laughter arouses feelings and gives birth to feelings. Only with filial piety can we know that home is warm. How can you know human feelings if you are not filial?
