Having more children means more blessings, carrying on the family line, and raising children for old age are the ancient Chinese conceptions of fertility. The primary purpose of traditional marriage is to have children and carry on the family line. Mencius emphasized that "there are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring." There are three kinds of disobedience to parents, among which the greatest is not having children or grandchildren. Blindly obeying and failing to persuade your parents when they see their faults, causing them to fall into unrighteousness, is the first type of unfilial piety; the family is poor and the parents are old, but you do not work as an official to earn a salary to support your parents, this is the second type. Unfilial piety; not marrying a wife and having children, cutting off future generations, this is the third type of unfilial piety.
“Filial piety comes first among all good deeds”. In all good deeds done, "filial piety" comes first. If you are not filial, you will be looked down upon by others. "Loyalty" and "filial piety" are the two basic traditional moral codes of conduct of the Chinese nation. For thousands of years, people have regarded loyalty and filial piety as their nature, and even as a sign that distinguishes humans from animals.
The ancient saying "Parents never travel far away" reminds us that parents should be filial when they are alive. After their death, they often miss their parents' nurturing kindness. Setting an example for their children inherently means "the father is observing his ambitions, but the father is not observing his ambitions." Go ahead and don’t change your father’s ways for three years.” When their children are just born, their parents guard them day and night, working hard without complaining, and sincerely. When their children become wise, they should be careful about their parents day and night. Put yourself in their shoes, empathize with your parents, and sympathize with your parents’ good intentions. That’s why “everyone in the world is not a parent.”
People want to have children because of the continuation of life, which is a sign of complete life. It is loyalty to the family, filial piety to the parents, and adding children to the family to continue the incense. Raising children for old age, children are the hope for the second half of life. A life with children is a complete life, and a family with children is a complete family. In order to extend my life, I have someone to rely on when I get old.
Ask yourself, why do you want a child? Carrying on the family line? Raising children for old age? In fact, you can look at this sentence: "In order to participate in the growth of a life, you don't have to fight for my appearance, you don't have to carry on my family lineage, and you don't have to help me with my old age.
I only want this life to exist and walk in this beautiful world, so that I can have the opportunity to walk with her (him) for a while...
