How do you say filial piety in Zhou etiquette?
China's filial piety began to flourish when people ruled the world in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which has always been regarded as one of the important contents of his etiquette and music culture. "Three Rites", namely "Zhou Li", "Book of Rites" and "Yi", are three classic works of Confucianism. Although the date of their writing is still controversial, the filial piety thought contained in them reflects that the prevalence of filial piety in the Western Zhou Dynasty had a far-reaching impact on the formation and development of filial piety concept in later generations. Filial piety is one of the important contents of ritual and music culture in Zhou Dynasty. Evidence of filial piety can be found in some ancient books and inscriptions. Among them, the records of filial piety in Zhou Li are very rich, reflecting the concept of filial piety in the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Zhou Li, local officials, Da Situ" said, "Teach the people all over the world to do three things in the countryside and make them happy. One day, Liu Dezhi is benevolent, holy, righteous and loyal, two days, six lines of filial piety, friendship, flattery and sadness, and three days, six arts rituals, music, shooting, imperial books and counting. " Jia, one of the "six lines", is "filial piety is the parent". Li Diguan's Record states that "the ancestors should be respected, loved and guarded, so the living are also born". His explanation of "filial piety" involves the generation of filial piety and the father and ancestor who created life from the perspective of the source of life. Letters from home know that "filial piety", as one of the "Six Classics", is the content of positive education for all. If you have unfilial friends, you will be punished. The post of "Master" is based on three virtues-supreme virtue, sensitive virtue and filial piety-and three lines-filial piety, friendship, obedience-filial piety, courtesy, local officials and master, and the teaching circle of "Da Le" takes China, harmony, friendship, filial piety and friendship as the first. As can be seen from the above records, most officials at all levels in the Zhou Dynasty ruled the people with education as their duty, paying special attention to people's morality, and filial piety is an important aspect of people's morality here. The Book of Rites says that "the wedding ceremony of a husband begins with the concept that the crown is more important than mourning, respect for the DPRK, employment and shooting at home." Thus, although Zhou Li is known as the "Thousand Gifts", it can be roughly divided into the above eight categories. The contents expressed by these eight categories are the five relationships: monarch and minister, father and son, brother, couple and friend. The Book of Rites The Doctrine of the Mean says, "There are five ways to walk in the world, including monarch, minister, father, son, couple, brother and friend." The virtue of wisdom, benevolence and courage is also one of the people who do it. "In this' five ethics', father and son, brother and eldest wife are related by blood, and this is a political relationship. Benevolence and kindness are the criteria for dealing with these two relations, in which benevolence deals with blood relationship, and its basic content is filial piety, kindness, kindness, obedience and friendship, while the basic content for dealing with political relations is respect, including loyalty, faith and chastity. Ceng Zi talked about filial piety, and the Book of Rites said: "Those who do this ceremony will also do it." Uncle Kong said, "He also said that people who want to salute outside should practice this filial piety. "That is to say, the ceremony is used to practice filial piety, which is an important part of the ceremony, especially the ceremony related to family blood relationship. In the following, the author will discuss the filial piety thought contained in the "Three Rites" by analyzing the records about ceremonies, that is, the ceremony held when a person is an adult, which was formed earlier in the primitive society. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it became one of the major categories of rituals, namely, the so-called "eight cardinal principles", namely, crown, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, pilgrimage, employment, shooting and hometown. " "Book of Rites, Quli Shang" said, "Twenty is weak and crowned." He also said, "Men are twenty Kerangat dialect. "The Book of Rites talks about the public" says: "Fifty words for a young name is equal to the death of Zhou Dao. "It can be seen that the coronation ceremony is a ceremony to add a crown to a man's 20 th birthday." "Li" tells the whole process of the adult coronation ceremony of aristocratic children in the Zhou Dynasty. It is worth noting that during the coronation ceremony, the salute must be carried out in the ancestral hall and offered to the ancestors. "The Book of Rites, Guan Yi, said," The ancients were active in the temple because they attached importance to the crown. People who walk in the temple respect things, but dare not be good, so they feel inferior and respect their ancestors. "This coronation ceremony was held in the ancestral hall of the family, offering sacrifices to ancestors, which reflected the meaning of respecting ancestors and filial piety. Going to the temple to pay homage means that another heir of the family has come of age, which is the beginning of the cause of inheriting ancestors.
