Since ancient times, China has been a big cultural country that respects "filial piety". In ancient times, showing filial piety to parents was almost one of the top priorities in life.

At the beginning of the Confucian Book of Filial Piety, it is clearly written that "the body is skin-damaged, and the parents dare not damage it, so filial piety begins." It is said that our own bodies are all acquired because of our parents, so we should cherish and love them very much, which is why the ancients didn't cut their hair, because in their eyes, even caring for our hair is a manifestation of filial piety to our parents.

In Chinese culture, "filial piety" ranks first. Not only Confucius advocates filial piety and expounds its importance, but also India, that is, other Asian regions, also advocates similar ethical concepts. The founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, is an ancient Indian. He once thanked all his parents for their kindness and became a Buddha because of his filial piety.

In the Six Degrees Collection, the Buddha told all the monks: "I have been upholding the filial piety of the Buddhists from generation to generation, and my merits are lofty, so I have become a heaven in the sky, and I am the only one in the three realms."

It is said that after the Buddha became a Taoist, he still showed filial piety to his parents. He educated his father and clarified the truth of the world for him. After his death, he personally collected the coffin and buried him. For his mother, it is to repay the kindness of being pregnant in October, and to announce the "Tibetan Classics" for him for dozens of days.

Sakyamuni said that he became a Buddha because of this. In fact, after he became a Buddha, he devoted himself to the principle of filial piety. This view of Buddhism coincides with that of China. In ancient China, loyalty and filial piety were regarded as an important criterion to measure a person's character. In addition to not hurting the body at will, there was also a saying in ancient times that filial piety lasted for three years, that is, when parents died, even an official, no matter how big, had to temporarily stop all affairs and return to his hometown to be filial for three years, otherwise he would be impeached and accused of being unfilial by the world.

It is naturally very important to be kind to parents. After all, without parents, there would be no us. Without parents' painstaking upbringing and their tolerance, there would be no healthy children. Therefore, filial piety has been particularly valued since ancient times.

There is a classic saying in the Qing Dynasty that "all the virtues's filial piety comes first", which is enough to show that China paid attention to filial piety in ancient times. Filial piety is a heartfelt respect for parents, a positive response to parents, and a perfection of human ethics.
