What does Haratani Jianfu tell us?

This article tells people the truth: Children must honor their parents. Honoring their parents is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation.

"Yuan Gu Admonishes His Father" comes from "Taiping Yulan" in the Northern Song Dynasty. It tells the story of Yuan Gu admonishing his parents with wisdom and correcting their mistakes.

Original text: Yuan Gu had an ancestor who was old. His parents hated him and wanted to abandon him. In the fifteenth year of the valley, he admonished his father and said: "My ancestors raised children and gave birth to daughters. They were diligent and frugal throughout their lives. How can anyone abandon them when they grow old? This is unjust." My father refused to obey, acted as a mediator, and abandoned my ancestors in the wild. The valley follows, and the family returns. The father said: "Why did you accept this murderous tool?" Gu said: "When my parents are old and there is no need to replace this tool, I will keep it." The father was ashamed and regretted it, so he returned to his ancestors to raise him.
