Confucius famously told us to be filial in time: "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop, and the son wants to raise it without waiting for his relatives."

The phrase "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind will not stop, and the child wants to be raised but not near" first came from the second volume of Confucius' Family Language, Thinking is Eight. It means that the tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop; Children want to support their parents, but their parents have left.

The original text is: "if you are thick with friends, you will lose three!" The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind never stops. The son wants to raise and not stay. "

It is the third mistake to break off contact early when friends have deep friendship. The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind keeps blowing it. When children are filial, the old man is gone!
