Five punishments from filial piety. It is an ethical work of ancient Confucianism in China. Legend has it that Confucius made it himself, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, some people suspected that it was because of the attachment of future generations.
In the Qing Dynasty, Ji Yun pointed out in the Catalogue of Sikuquanshu that this book was the last words of Confucius and was written in Qin and Han Dynasties. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were hundreds of commentators. At present, the more popular versions are Li Longji's Annotation of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Xing Bing's Annotation of Song Dynasty. The book is divided into 18 chapters.
Confucius said: Five punishments are three thousand, and the crime is greater than unfilial. Those who want a monarch are supreme, those who want a saint are indispensable, and those who are unfilial have no relatives. This is also the way of chaos.
Confucius said: "Five punishments belong to as many as 3,000 criminal laws, among which there is no greater crime than unfilial. Those who intimidate the monarch by force have no monarch in their eyes; Those who slander saints have no law and order in their eyes; It is disrespectful to those who perform filial piety, but they have no parents in their eyes. What these three people have done is the root cause of the chaos in the world. "
