Firstly, he was unwilling to obey his parents and got his relatives involved in injustice; secondly, his family was poor and he did not seek to become an official and make a fortune; thirdly, he did not marry a wife and had no sons to hold sacrifices.
The first unfilial piety means: knowing clearly that parents have done wrong things, but still willingly obeying and catering to them. As a result, the parents are trapped in unrighteousness, which is a manifestation of unfilial piety. During the Warring States Period, there was a famous general in Qi State named Kuang Zhang. His parents had a falling out, and his father killed his mother and buried her under the stable.
Later, when Kuang Zhang became a general, King Qi Wei persuaded him to move his mother out of the stable and find a cemetery for burial, but he refused. The reason was that he did not have his father's consent. The father died without agreeing to the relocation. If the son did this, he would be violating his father's wishes and being unfilial. But everyone in the world thinks that he would be unfilial if he didn't move the burial!
You didn’t stop your parents from getting along with each other, and you didn’t stop them from fighting. Your mother was killed by your father, but you didn’t report it. Dare you call it filial piety? So, it is unjustifiable that after his father died, his mother was buried under the stable. It is unfilial to allow your father to do evil and give your father an unjust reputation.
The second unfilial piety means that a person who lives in a poor family still misses the warmth of his family and refuses to work hard in society. According to the ancients, it is called "not seeking an official position", which is a very unfilial behavior. This one is easier to understand, because if a woman wants to embody "filial piety", she should give her parents a better life. "Being close to the elderly" and loving home can be understood as staying at home and "chewing on the elderly".
The third unfilial piety is the most serious one among the people - having no offspring. Being childless means having no sons. Chinese people attach great importance to the inheritance of ancestors. During festivals and festivals, weddings, funerals, and ancestor worship must be hosted by men in the family. Without a son, the incense will be cut off. It is tantamount to cutting off descendants.
