Confucius said: Those who love their relatives dare not do evil to others. Those who respect their relatives dare not be slow to others. Love and respect are fulfilled in serving relatives, while virtue and filial piety are extended to the common people, and punishments are applied to the world, which is the filial piety of the emperor. Fu Xingyun said: "One person is happy, and the people rely on it."

The third chapter of the princes chapter

Be not arrogant when you are above, and do not be conceited when you are high. Be restrained and careful, full but not overflowing. It is high but does not cover, so it is expensive to keep it for a long time. It is full but not overflowing, so it keeps wealth for a long time. Wealth and honor never leave one's body, and then one can protect one's country, harmonize one's people, and show the filial piety of the princes. The poem says: Warning is like facing an abyss, like walking on thin ice.

Qing Dafu Chapter 4

I dare not obey the law of the late king. If it is not the teaching of the former king, I dare not speak it. If it is not the virtue of the former king, I dare not practice it. Therefore, if you don’t speak out what is illegal, don’t do what is not right, you won’t choose what you say with your mouth, and you won’t choose what you do with your body, your words will fill the world without any wrongdoing, and your deeds will fill the world without resentment. The three are ready, and then he can guard his ancestral temple. This is the filial piety of the minister. The poem goes: Working day and night to serve one person. Chapter 5 of the Scholars

It is necessary to serve the father and the mother, but love the same. To serve the father and to serve the king, and to respect colleagues. Therefore, the mother takes his love, and the king takes his respect, and the father takes both. Therefore, if you serve your emperor with filial piety, you will be loyal and respectful, and you will be obedient for a long time. If you do not lose your loyalty and obedience, you will serve your superiors, and then you will be able to keep your position and keep your sacrifices. This is the filial piety of a scholar. The poem goes: I work hard and sleep well at night, but I am not born with anger.

Common People Chapter 6

Using the ways of heaven, dividing the benefits of the earth, and using them with integrity to support your parents, this is the filial piety of the common people. Therefore, from the emperor to the common people, filial piety has no beginning or end, and those who are in trouble are not there yet.

The Seventh Chapter of the Three Talents

Zengzi said: How wonderful! Filial piety is the greatest thing. Confucius said: A husband's filial piety is the law of heaven, the righteousness of earth, and the conduct of the people. If the people follow the scriptures of the heaven and the earth, then the sky will be bright and the earth will be beneficial to the world. It is caused by the lack of strictness in teaching, and the result of lack of strictness in government. The first kings saw that teaching could transform the people, so they first showed universal love, and the people did not leave their relatives behind. With virtue and righteousness established, the people will prosper. Be respectful and give way first, but the people will not fight. The way is based on propriety and music, and the people are harmonious. Show them their likes and dislikes, and the people will be harmonious. The poem goes: "The great teacher Yin, the people have good expectations."

The Eighth Chapter of Filial Governance

Confucius said: In the past, the Ming kings governed the world with filial piety, and they did not dare to leave the ministers of small countries behind. , and what's more, it's more like a duke, a lord, a uncle, a son, or a son, so he wins the favor of all nations. To serve his ancestors.

Those who govern the country dare not insult the widowers or widowers, nor do they dare to insult the scholars and people, so they win the favor of the people and serve their ancestors. The ruler of the house does not dare to lose his ministers and concubines, let alone his wife, so he can win the favor of others and serve his relatives.

Furthermore, if the deceased is alive, the relatives will take care of him, and if he is sacrificed, the ghosts will enjoy him. Therefore, there will be peace in the world, no disasters will occur, and no chaos will occur. Therefore, the king of Ming Dynasty governed the world with filial piety. The poem goes: If you are virtuous, the four countries will obey you.

Holy Rule Chapter 9

Zeng Zi said: Dare I ask if the virtue of a saint cannot be added to filial piety? Confucius said: The nature of heaven and earth is only precious to man. There is nothing greater than filial piety in a person's conduct. No one should be more filial than a strict father, and no one should be more strict than a strict father. This is the Duke of Zhou. In the past, Zhou Gong worshiped Houji in his suburbs to match the sky. King Wen was enshrined in Mingtang to be worthy of God. Therefore, within the four seas, everyone will offer sacrifices according to their duties. How can the virtues of a saint be added to filial piety? Therefore, the children are under the knees of their own children, so as to support their parents. The saint teaches and respects because of his strictness, and teaches and loves because of his closeness. The saint's teachings are not strict, and his government is not strict. This is the root cause. The way of father and son is nature. The righteousness of the king and his ministers. Born to parents, there is no way to survive. When you are here in person, don't be too considerate. Therefore, loving others without loving one's relatives is said to be unethical. Respecting others without respecting one's relatives is said to be contrary to etiquette. If you obey the people, you will go against the people. Otherwise, it will not be good, but all evil virtues. Even if you get it, a gentleman is not valuable. This is not the case for a gentleman. He can speak and think in the right way, his deeds can be thought of happily, his virtues and justice can be respected, his actions can be done according to the law, his tolerance and restraint can be measured, his advance and retreat can be controlled, and he can serve his people. It makes the people fear and love it, and then like it. Therefore, he can achieve his moral education and carry out his political orders. The poem goes: A gentleman is a gentleman, and his manners are not excessive.

Ji Xiaoxing Chapter 10

Confucius said: A filial son is responsible for his relatives. Living there will bring respect to him, raising him will bring him happiness, illness will bring him sorrow, and mourning will bring him sorrow. Mourning and offering sacrifices will be strict. The five are ready, and then we can get married. Those who serve relatives should not be arrogant when they are above, do not be chaotic when they are below, and do not fight when they are ugly. If they are arrogant when they are above, they will perish. Those who cause chaos for the sake of inferiority will be punished. If you fight against ugliness, you will be a soldier. If the three are not removed, even if they are fed by the three animals every day, it is still unfilial.

Five Punishments Chapter 11

Confucius said: The five punishments belong to three thousand, and the sin is no greater than unfilial piety. He who wants a king is supreme, and he who is not a saint cannot do it. He who is not filial has no relatives. , this is the way to great chaos.

Guangyao Dao Chapter 12

Confucius said: Teaching people to be loving is not good at filial piety. Teach the people courtesy and obedience, but don't be good at being timid. Changing customs is not good at music. In order to govern the people in peace, one must not be good at etiquette. Those who are polite are just respectful. Therefore, if you respect your father, your son will be happy. Respect his brother, and he will be happy. If you respect your king, your ministers will be happy. Respect one person and make thousands of people happy. Those who respect him are few, but those who are pleased by him are many. This is called the important way.

Guangzhi De Chapter 13

Confucius said: A gentleman's teaching is filial piety, not just seeing him day by day. Teach filial piety, so you should respect the fathers of the world. Teach with respect, so you respect the world as your brother. Teach your ministers, so you should respect those who are kings in the world.

The poem goes: A gentleman is the father and mother of the people. How can anyone be so virtuous as to be obedient to the people?

Guangyang Famous Chapter Fourteen

Confucius said: A gentleman is filial to his relatives, so loyalty can be transferred to the king. The brothers are brothers, so the good will can be transferred to the elders. The family is managed, so governance can be transferred to officials. This is how it is accomplished within, and its name is established in future generations.

Remonstrance Chapter 15

Zengzi said: If a husband is kind and respectful, and has a good reputation, then he will obey his orders. Dare I ask if a son can be called filial by obeying his father's orders? Confucius said: What do you mean? What's the point?

In the past, the emperor had three quarrels with his ministers. Although they were immoral, they still lost their empire. There are three feuding ministers among the princes. Although they are dishonest, their country will not be lost. The official has three contending ministers. Although they are dishonest, they still lose their family. When scholars have friends who compete with each other, they will not be separated from their names. If a father fights for his son, he will not fall into injustice. Therefore, if you are unjust, then Heaven will have to contend with your father, and ministers will have to contend with the king. Therefore, if you are unjust, then you will fight. How can you be filial by following your father's orders?

Induction Chapter 16

Confucius said: In the past, the king Ming was filial to his father, and the Ming Dynasty was filial to his mother. The gods are clear. Therefore, although the Son of Heaven must have respect, he must also have a father. If you say you have a brother, pay tribute to the ancestral temple and never forget your relatives. Cultivation of one's moral character and conduct with caution, lest you be humiliated first. Pay tribute to the ancestral temple, and the ghosts and gods are here. The ultimate in filial piety and brotherhood, it connects to the gods, shines in the world, and reaches everything. The poem goes: From the west to the east, from the south to the north, without thinking or dissatisfaction.

Chapter 17 of the Service to the King

The Master said: The gentleman's business is the first. If you think forward, you will be loyal, if you think back, you will make up for your mistakes. You will adapt to your beauty and save your virtue, so you can be close to each other from top to bottom. The poem goes: The heart is full of love, and the distance is not known. It is hidden in the heart, and how will it be forgotten.

Chapter 18 of Bereavement

Confucius said: When a filial son is bereaved, he will cry without mourning and show no courtesy. The words are not polite, the beauty is uneasy, the music is not pleasant, the food is not satisfied, this is the feeling of sadness. Eating for three days teaches the people not to suffer death or injury and destroys their immortality. This is the government of a sage. The mourning will not last more than three years, which shows that the people have an end. He lifted up the coffin, coffins, clothes and quilts, laid out his gui and expressed his condolences. Hao Yun cried, mourned and sent him off, divined the fate of his house, and put him in a safe place. Make it an ancestral temple and enjoy it with ghosts. When offering sacrifices in the Spring and Autumn Period, we should reflect on the time. Love and respect in life, mourn in death, the foundation of life and the people has been completed, the righteousness of life and death has been prepared, the filial son's work has been completed.
