The history of filial piety
There are three types of unfilial piety, and the biggest misinformation is not having children. Filial piety has been practiced in China since the Western Zhou Dynasty. The most influential one is Confucianism represented by Mencius. The most familiar one is - "Mencius Li Lou Shang": There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an offspring. The original text is from Mencius who said: There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. Shun married without complaining, which was considered to have no heirs. A gentleman thought that he would sue even though he was married.
Meaning: There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the most serious of which is failure to abide by the responsibilities of future generations. Shun got married without informing his parents, which meant he was childless, but a gentleman thought it was almost the same as informing him (because Shun became a monk and was away from home, and it was Yao who wanted to marry his daughter to him). In other words, Mencius's original words are not what the public has spread falsely - not having children is unfilial.
