13. "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having offspring."

This sentence is now generally understood by people as children, and they must continue the family's incense, otherwise it is unfilial, which is completely wrong.

This sentence comes from "Mencius. Li Lou Shang", the original saying is "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an issue. Shun married without complaining, which is because he has no offspring. A gentleman thinks that he still complains."

It means that there are many unfilial things (there are three kinds of things, but Mencius said there are five unfilial things), and failure to abide by the responsibility of future generations is the most serious.

Shun got married without informing his parents, which meant he had no offspring, but a gentleman thought it was almost the same as informing him (because Shun became a monk and was away from home, and Yao wanted to marry his daughter to him. In ancient times, the emperor was regarded as His parents told him that Sanshun's father was very violent to him, but he was still very filial, so all the gentlemen thought the same). It has nothing to do with having children to renew the relationship.
