If you are always filial, you can't bear to do what you can't do in the world, so filial piety is the first.
With evil thoughts, it is not difficult for people who are extremely unwilling to be in this life, so prostitution is the first of all evils.
Interpretation: Always keep the attitude of benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, so that you can't bear to do what you can't do in the world. So people say that filial piety is the premise of all good behavior. As long as people have evil thoughts, they may do things that they are extremely unwilling to do, so fornication is the beginning of all kinds of evil deeds.

As the name implies, the night talk sitting around the fireplace wearily sent away a noisy day. Sitting around the fireplace makes you feel that the world is so quiet. In such a quiet and warm atmosphere, all kinds of boredom brought by the turbid world of mortals during the day will unconsciously sublimate into a hollow life and life.
People with filial piety will consider whether they will shame their parents before doing anything, and more importantly, how to make their parents proud of their actions. This not only breaks evil thoughts, but also opens the end of good deeds. Isn't filial piety the basis of all behaviors? Once indulged, the whole person will be driven by lust, not controlled by the mind, and will do things that harm the world. It seems that lewdness is really the first of all evils.
It's hard to tell whether the traditional literati in China are happy and extraordinary, or miserable and depressed.
Even when the literati of that generation lived a comfortable life and had a proud career, they always had a sense of urgency in their hearts. When they met with unexpected accidents and lost everything, they always maintained a cool attitude with no regrets. This is the heritage of China's traditional culture. Because of its broadness, the minds of China literati nourished by it are also broad and generous, and their spiritual world is more colorful. ?
