A story about filial piety

Ancient times: Xiaogan touched heaven.

Shun, a legendary ancient emperor and one of the five emperors, was named Yao, Zhong Hua and Shi Yu, and was called Yu Shun in history. According to legend, his father Gu Sou, stepmother and half-brother tried to kill him many times: Shun set fire to the barn while repairing the roof of the barn, and Shun jumped off with two hats to escape; Shun dug a well and Xiang Ke went down to fill it. Shun dug a tunnel to escape. Afterwards, Shun was not jealous, but still obeyed his father and loved his younger brother. His filial piety touched the Emperor of Heaven. Shun plowed the fields in Lishan Mountain, the elephants plowed the fields for him and the birds mowed the grass for him. Hearing that Shun was very filial and capable of handling political affairs, Emperor Yaodi married his two daughters. After years of observation and test, Shun was chosen as his successor. After Shun ascended the throne, he went to see his father, still respectfully, and made him a vassal.

Modern: Tian-Donate kidney to save mother.

He donated his kidney to his mother who was suffering from uremia in the late stage, thus prolonging her life and interpreting a story of a contemporary dutiful son (touching the top ten figures in China in 2004).

Acceptance speech: "But how much love does an inch of grass get in three spring rays" is a question that has been questioned for thousands of years. A son made his own answer with his body in 2004. He returned a part of his life to his dying mother. In the warm lie, the mother's life may still be fragile, but the sincerity of the dutiful son is rock solid. Tian, let all the mothers in the world get comfort.

Filial piety can enrich a person's foothold in life, guide the direction of life journey and cultivate the value of infinite life realm. It seems out of date to talk about filial piety in today's world, but it is the secret that best conforms to the development of human potential and a person's basic moral character in the world.

Filial piety, the classics of heaven, the meaning of the earth, the trip of people, the foundation of virtue.

The grace of fertility depends on the universe, and the virtue of Gu Fu is equal to heaven.

The ideal of life is the ultimate concern. We spent their old age with our parents, watching their shoulders no longer firm, their hair turning gray and even getting sick from time to time. However, after years of tempering, their hearts naturally emit a kind of light, which can light a candle for the noisy world and human feelings. The old man is the treasure of mankind, and the more traditional civilization attaches importance to the old man. China people often say that "an ancient family is like a treasure", which is really a wise saying. A person who dare not face up to old age, illness and death is obviously immature. Especially when the parents who accompany their relatives face these difficulties, we will naturally reflect on life as a whole and deeply, so as to establish our own more real life beliefs.

Home is the root of a person and the base for continuing traditional ideas. The meaning of our life is nourished, grown and matured from here, and the value and meaning of life are also inspired and realized from here. Therefore, knowing love from the beginning, even pushing yourself and others, is actually something that everyone yearns for and longs to accomplish, and it is also a manifestation of human nature and a real self-realization.

Jesus Christ once said, "As far as the world is concerned, I am crucified, but as far as I am concerned, the world is crucified."

Perhaps, we really nailed ourselves to the concept of externalization, nailed the beautiful knowledge and ability inherent in human nature to the materialized life with ruthless competition, and let the true self with eternal value sink into the whirlpool of life and death illusion.

Modern people rarely wake up like this. In this life, generation after generation. If the mind can't wake up, it can't examine the experience, and the value life full of inner vitality can't develop, leaving only a natural short-lived life pieced together by undigested knowledge transplanted from abroad. At this time, the meaning of life will shrink to "I am everything to me" because of the externalization of people. When people ask me who I am. The answer may only be "yes" by me. If human nature (inner self) melts into external fame and fortune, the ideal of life will eventually be completely lost, and the happiness of life will not be guaranteed, because everything that people have is only temporarily borrowed. Times have changed, even dying. What do I really "own"? Awakening this lack of meaning is simply a painful bondage!

If anyone can't live the group value life from the individual's natural life, if he can't transcend the isolation of individual existence and awaken the overall existence value of human nature, the deepest requirement of human nature-ultimate care (moral practice) will not be realized, and the value potential of human nature will also be unable to grow and show due to the lack of spiritual interaction inspiration. At the beginning of human growth, due to the special care of parents' affection, the mental potential has developed special strength. Human beings, the soul of all things, have a long-term dependence on their children, and their bodies and minds have a long-term dependence on their parents. Family is like a person's root, from which we can rest, grow and mature. Family meets the requirements of human nature. Let us show our deepest concern for our parents from the primitive feelings of human nature, and then gradually push them to others. This true human heart is a moral practice from the heart and the ethical basis of loving father and filial piety. The connotation of filial piety is to return to the depths of the soul and express sincere concern for the human world and cosmic life.

For a long time, history tells us that in the long run, we are the easiest to reveal our true nature in the family. The truly pure character is cultivated at home, and the basis of moral cultivation should be filial piety. Only by starting from the family and coordinating the fundamental interpersonal relationship can we establish a normal life order and integrate into a wider group society. Confucius and Mencius had a deep understanding of filial piety, so they all clearly emphasized that life must be based on filial piety in order to have real achievements and satisfaction.
