Why is the distorted "filial piety" destroying China culture?

Filial piety was criticized in different ways during the May 4th Movement, which was greatly destroyed and became a fault in the development of filial piety culture. However, filial piety culture is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and its influence will not end because of temporary destruction. Since the development of filial piety, although the traditional filial piety culture has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, with the continuous changes and development of society, the situation has also undergone new changes.

The first thing that changes filial piety is the development of social economy. The industrialization and commercialization of social economy gradually occupy an important position, and the change of economic production mode, urbanization and urbanization have fundamentally changed the old family and clan lifestyle.

In cities, unmarried children often leave their parents' families and form small families, leaving their parents to live alone, or young people spend a lot of energy on their careers and lives, so it is difficult to take care of their parents when they are busy, or in order to have an independent living space, children usually move out instead of living with their parents for a long time, which affects the cultivation of filial piety. In recent years, the continuous improvement of the old-age insurance system and the change of the old-age care mode of urban residents have provided a certain foundation for this lifestyle. Now many old people have a fixed pension after retirement, and with a certain economic ability, they don't have to rely on their children to provide for the elderly. The concept of filial piety gradually faded in this atmosphere.

In rural areas, the change of agricultural production mode in traditional society and the popularization of mechanized large-scale production have caused a large number of labor surplus, and a large number of people are constantly going out. Traditional collective labor has not adapted to economic development, and the traditional family model of "four generations under one roof" and "five generations under one roof" is rare. The filial relationship between father and son is not as inviolable in rural areas as in traditional society. Maybe at this time, if you talk about family rules, clan rules or autocratic filial piety again, you will be laughed at as "old-fashioned"

In addition to the social and economic development has affected the inheritance of filial piety culture, secondly, from the perspective of culture itself, today's society is no longer backward and closed, but constantly exchanges and integrates with other countries in the world. The introduction of other cultures will inevitably have a strong impact on China's traditional culture, such as filial piety.
