1, Confucius said: Disciples are filial when they enter, and filial when they leave. They sincerely believe that they love people all the time, but they are kind. Learn literature if you have spare time.
Interpretation: Be filial to your parents at home, respect your brothers when you go out, be cautious and honest when you speak, love everyone, and be close to virtuous people. If you have more spare time, you should continue to study poetry and books.
These are seven important things that we encourage learning, and filial piety is the first thing.
2, Ziyou asked about filial piety, Confucius said: Today's filial piety is called nurturing. As for dogs and horses, both can be kept; Disrespect, why not?
Interpretation: Ziyou asked Confucius what filial piety is, and Confucius said: Now those so-called filial people only provide food support, but isn't it the same to keep dogs and horses at home? If you don't respect your parents from the heart, what's the difference between treating your parents and treating dogs and horses?
This sentence deserves our reflection in the current environment. Nowadays, young people are not around their parents, and even material support depends more on online shopping. How can I better accompany my parents? It is worth pondering by each of us. How can we achieve the word "respect"?
3, Xia Zi asked filial piety, Confucius said: color is difficult. If something happens, the disciple will handle it; There is food and wine, sir. Have you ever thought that this is filial piety?
Commentary: Xia Zi also came to ask Confucius what filial piety is. Confucius said: It is most rare for children to be kind to their parents. If you can only do something at home, the child will go home to help with the operation; Or when there is wine and meat, parents should eat and drink first. Is this filial piety?
Confucius has always stressed that the most important thing of filial piety is to love parents from the heart, not just to help solve problems or make parents worry about food and clothing. Filial piety can only be external if it is hidden in the heart.
4. Confucius: In the year of parents, you must know that one is happy and the other is afraid.
Interpretation: The age of parents, as children, must be known. On the one hand, we should be glad that our parents can live to such a long life, on the other hand, we should worry that our parents are old.
How many young people know their parents' age or birthday now? When you are happy with your parents' life, you should also know that the time spent with your parents is decreasing, and you can work harder to honor your parents.
