Reading Chinese Classics and Practicing Filial Piety Etiquette Part I
As the saying goes, "The grace of dripping water is rewarded by a spring." The Chinese nation has the traditional virtue of filial piety to parents, and unfilial descendants are often condemned. I especially like reading history books, and I found that many emperors had a word "filial piety" before their titles, especially the emperors of the Han Dynasty, such as Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Wudi, which reflected the important position of filial piety in ancient China.
Meng Jiao's Ode to a Wanderer says, "the thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother, makes clothes for the body of her wayward boy, carefully she sews and thoroughly she mends, dreading the delays that will keep him late from home. But how much love has the inch-long grass, reported three Chunhui? " This poem vividly describes the broadness and selflessness of maternal love, and the dedication of parents to their children is unrequited and hard to repay.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a little official named Uncle Ying Kao. Once, he went to see Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong gave him a meal, but he put the sliced meat aside and could not bear to eat it. Zhuang Gong was very surprised and asked him why. Uncle Ying Kao said, "My mother has never eaten such delicious food. Please allow me to take it home to honor my mother." Zhuang Gong was very moved after hearing this: a small official didn't forget his old mother in front of delicious food. Uncle Ying's story reminds me of some of my peers. Many children nowadays rarely think of their parents when they see delicious food.
in economic jargon, it is an "investment" for our parents to give birth to us and raise us, but to a great extent, our parents "invest" more in us and we "return" less to our parents. This is a "deficit". Since it is a "deficit", why should parents "invest"? Because it stems from parents' selfless love for their children. In the face of this selfless love, some people are indifferent.
A book says: The ancients classified filial piety to parents as three levels: respecting parents, forgiving humiliation and being able to support them. Respecting parents is the highest level of filial piety, forgiving humiliation is the second, and being able to support them is the lowest. Now some people can't "support" their parents, let alone respect them. There are two kinds of such people: one is rich and powerful and forgets his roots; One is the "young people who don't work hard" and need their parents to support them when they grow up.
filial piety to parents can't just stay in words. We should start from childhood and start from small things. Only in this way can we support our parents in a clear sky when they grow up.

Who taught us to learn English? Who raised us with sweet milk? Who split a clear sky above our heads? Who bought our growing life with hard work and sweat?
it's parents! It's though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow's parents!
In an accidental traffic accident, a bus plunged into the biting mud water. While the passengers were struggling in the water, seeking hope for life, a young couple held their children high with their hands. Although the water had flooded their heads and death was approaching them, they did not hesitate to give their hope to them. Perhaps, this is just the instinct of parents to love their children; However, love became eternal at this moment.
however, what have we done for our parents in real life? We will only yell at our parents, we will only talk back to our parents, quarrel with them, and suffer indignities outside. We will only take fire on our parents and go home after school. We will only wait for our parents to deliver food to the table, and we don't even know their birthdays, let alone be filial to our children!
Crows will feed back, and lambs will kneel and suckle. For us, filial piety is not the responsibility of adults. Our parents' kindness to us is higher than mountains and deeper than the sea. Then how can we repay their kindness?
We can help our parents brush pots, wash bowls, wash their mothers' hair and pour a basin of foot washing water for their fathers. When parents come home from work, we can make a cup of hot tea and say, "Mom and Dad, you have worked hard."
Students, let's repay our parents with our love, even if it's just a message at hand, even if it's only 1 points in the exercise book, and even if it's just a sincere greeting, which will make them happy for a long time. So, let's act together now-let's take some time out of our busy study and bring love home with us!
Life belongs not only to ourselves but also to our parents.

As the saying goes, all the virtues's filial piety is the first, and filial piety is the first. In our present life, filial piety and morality have always been concerned and valued by families, schools and society.
From ancient times to now, people have always paid special attention to filial piety. The famous allusions include selling one's body to bury one's father, working as a servant for one's mother, choking a tiger to save one's father and so on. These stories are well-known and touching.
In ancient times, there was a man named Meng Zong. His father left him when he was a teenager, and his mother was old and seriously ill. The doctor told her to make soup with fresh bamboo shoots. At that time, it was in the severe winter, and there were no fresh bamboo shoots. Meng Zong had nothing to do, so he ran to the bamboo forest alone to help bamboo cry. Not long after, he suddenly heard a crack in the ground and saw several tender bamboo shoots growing on the ground. Meng Zong was overjoyed and picked bamboo shoots to make soup for his mother to drink. His mother really recovered. Later, his filial piety touched many people and was passed down as a story by the world.
In the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Yang Xiang. When he was fourteen years old, he went up the mountain with his father to mow the grass. Suddenly, a tiger came running, threw his father down and tried to take him away. At that time, Yang Xiang was unarmed. In order to save his father, he completely ignored his own safety. He quickly jumped forward and used all his strength to hold the tiger by the throat. It was because of Yang Xiang's desperate efforts that the tiger finally put down his father and ran away in a hurry.
May 12th this year is Mother's Day. I saw many touching pictures and written news in Chuzhou Evening News. Many schools in Lishui held Mother's Day Thanksgiving activities before and after Mother's Day. Some school students sent cards to their mothers, some sent carnations to their mothers, and some organized students to wash their feet specially. Although the activities have different forms, they all have the same thing: to educate our students to be grateful and filial to their elders from an early age.
About moral education, it's even more numerous around us. School teachers have taught us to be polite, civilized and hygienic since kindergarten. Civilized manners have become the norm around us: people will say "thank you" after getting help, say "sorry" if they make others angry, give up their seats when taking the bus, do not spit in public places, and make no noise in reading rooms and theaters. As far as I know, Changkeng Primary School in Jinyun County has also been rated as an advanced unit of moral education in China, and she is also the only mountain village primary school in our province to win this honor.
Of course, we have also learned some negative reports about filial piety culture in the media reports. Everyone is not ashamed of the unfilial children who are ignorant of their interests, but also condemns the lazy nerds and social phenomena that don't pay attention to social morality. In view of the frequent social phenomena such as attacks on primary school students, Foxconn employees jumping off buildings, waste oil, tainted milk powder, etc., people are struggling to find out the causes and solutions of the problems, and analyze them in detail. The main reason is that people have mental problems, and only by relying on moral power to regulate people's behavior can we fundamentally solve the problems.
let's attach importance to filial piety culture and create a harmonious society!
