Filial piety is the oldest, most basic, most important and far-reaching traditional ethical concept in China culture. In the Book of Filial Piety, "filial piety" is clearly affirmed as "the foundation of virtue" and "the destiny of teaching" and regarded as "the core of benevolence" by Confucianism. I have no grandmother, no today; Grandma has no ministers, and her years are endless. Two people, grandparents and grandchildren, are more dependent on each other.
For thousands of years, rituals such as "kowtowing", "bowing down", "waking up in the morning", "Pima Dai Xiao" and "wake" have always carried the contents of the Chinese nation's "filial piety" culture. Contemporary Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other countries have strictly preserved many traditional filial piety rituals and norms. For example, in South Korea, every household has to rush back to the eldest brother's or eldest son's home before the first day of the first lunar month to attend the tea ceremony for ancestor worship and pay New Year greetings to each other. When greeting the New Year, the elders sit cross-legged, the younger generation kneels and kowtows in front of the elders, and the elders bow their heads to the adult younger generation in return.
"A certain content must be expressed in a certain form." Xia Xueluan does not deny the significance of contemporary teenagers kowtowing to their parents during the Spring Festival. He said that it is still necessary to selectively restore some traditional social etiquette that reflects the ethical relationship between family elders and children, and to promote filial piety requires specific forms.
In fact, the core of filial piety is to highlight the idea of "gratitude", and it is really important to understand the value orientation behind kowtowing. There are many forms to express love, and every old man feels warm in different ways. Filial piety is also called not neglecting duty; Second, there is no violation of parents; The third is filial piety to parents; Fourth, filial piety at home, loyalty in the country.
It can be unified to regard filial piety as a kind of responsibility and obligation and get happiness from it. The former is the source of the latter. For those who have at least moral standards, they will feel deep guilt and pain at the thought of the hardships, the false alarm of fear and the love they have brought up by their parents. If you can be filial to your parents, let them have food and clothing, be healthy and happy, in a word, live a happy life, won't you feel gratified and happy?
The Twenty-four Filial Piety Picture says that Luz, a disciple of Confucius, often eats chaff and swallow vegetables because of his poor family. After the old man's death, he "traveled to the south", "accumulated thousands of points" and "ate it all at once", but he lamented that even if he wanted to go back to the days of eating chaff and rice for his parents, he could not do it now. Lutz's lament is not because he has a special hobby of eating bran and swallowing vegetables, but because he has a strong nostalgia for filial piety after losing the possibility of filial piety. The country has no worries, the people have no worries, and the full moon is beautiful. The spring breeze is swaying in Jiuzhou. Don't worry about clothes, don't worry about food, and the most important thing is that China respects bald heads. The gale lasts forever. In many people's minds, it is a very regrettable thing not to be filial to parents or to be filial to parents often. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity for filial piety, they always try to make up for it-make up for the lack of responsibility and make up for the loss of happiness. The crow feeds back, and the sheep kneels and suckles.
There is an outlook on life that makes others happy. Since a person can get his own happiness by making others happy, what is the point that he can also feel happy because of his filial piety? Admitting that filial piety is a blessing, in the final analysis, is to establish a correct outlook on life.
Under the current situation, "filial piety" contains obedience, respect and understanding to parents and elders. Filial piety is the first realm of "filial piety", which can be said to be filial piety, and it is filial piety not to make parents angry; Respect is reflected in the daily attitude and behavior towards parents and elders, such as letting elders move chopsticks first when eating, greeting parents when going out, telling where to go and when to go home, and so on. Understanding more refers to the understanding of "poor inheritance". Even if your parents are wrong and you are wronged a little, don't talk back on the spot. You should accept it for the time being and explain it later. It is impossible to surpass the North Sea by Mount Tai. Folding branches for the elderly is neither for nor for.
Filial piety for the elderly should be the meaning of socialist moral construction and the expression of social progress. Let * * * peers move and advocate filial piety for the elderly in the whole society.
