Shun, one of the Five Emperors in ancient times, was the son of Gushen. I have been very filial to my parents since I was a child. His father is an honest and kind farmer. Because Shun's mother was poor, she often spoke rudely and criticized his father. Shun had a younger brother named Xiang who was often arrogant and disrespectful to his father. Only Shun remained consistent, did not complain about others, was respectful to his parents as usual, paid extra attention to his younger brother, and guided him to change his ways. This extraordinary filial piety moved God. When Shun was plowing the fields at the foot of the mountain, there were divine elephants to help him, and divine birds to help him hoe away weeds. When Emperor Yao heard about Shun's filial piety, he sent nine waiters to serve the Gushou couple, and married his daughters Ehuang and Nvying to Shun in recognition of his filial piety. Later, Yao also "abdicated" his throne to Shun. People praised Shun and said that Shun's transformation from a commoner to an emperor was due to his filial piety.

Teams are plowing spring elephants, and they are cultivating grass and poultry;

At this time, they already understood the painstaking efforts of their parents, so they rushed to support their parents to show that they did not forget the kindness of raising them. Each family will be required to support the family for one month. Later, the virtuous and filial sisters-in-law thought that it was too long to have their turn to make offerings every three months, so they changed it to one day for each family. Later, it was changed to provide one meal for each person starting from the eldest, and then descend in order. Every five days, the whole family, old and young, gathers together to cook delicious meals and feed their parents. At the banquet, the children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law rushed to serve dishes and toast, showing filial piety in every possible way. The whole family was really happy and happy.

Wang Xiang’s stepmother likes to eat carp.

One winter, the weather was very cold and the ice was three feet deep. Wang Xiang lay naked on the ice in order to get carp.

A few years later, the stepmother gave birth to two sons, but Ziqian gradually became indifferent. One year, when winter was coming and my father had not returned, my stepmother was biased in making cotton-padded clothes. She used thick cotton batting for her biological son and reed catkins for Zisai. One day, his father came back and asked Ziqian to help him pull the cart out. It was cold and windy outside, and Ziqian's clothes were cold and his body was cold, but he endured it silently and said nothing to his father.
