The Book of Filial Piety is a poem of China's traditional virtues.

Filial piety is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. In the long history of 5,000 years in China, there have been many examples of filial piety that people can relish. There is an old saying in China: "Filial piety is the first virtue." It means that filial piety to parents ranks first among all virtues and is the foundation of being a man.

There are models of filial piety at all times and in all countries. As early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, there was a historical story of "Huang Xiangxiang's filial piety". Huang Xiang was born in a poor family. In summer, the weather is very sultry, and it is difficult for people to fall asleep at night. So Huang Xiang fanned his father before going to bed until his father fell asleep. Isn't it a sign of filial piety that he forced himself to feel sleepy and cooled his father? Yes, filial piety is actually easier said than done. Isn't it a good "filial piety" to take the initiative to do some small things that you can, so as not to let your parents worry and overwork? The ancients used actions to guide us how to honor our parents.

Not only in China, but also the German thinker Engels is a typical example of filial piety. After his father died, he left a considerable legacy, which caused property disputes between brothers. At that time, his mother was seriously ill. In order not to make her sad, he voluntarily gave up his inheritance and settled possible family disputes. Later, he mentioned in a letter: "I may have tens of millions of possessions, but I will never have another mother." Yes, money and wealth are tempting, but parents are eternal treasures. They have given us too much, from meticulous care to teaching us to be human and do things, which cannot be measured by money. Therefore, we should honor our parents, just like Engels did. In order to let his mother spend the rest of her life peacefully and comfortably, he resolutely gave up his own interests. Engels' practice embodies the essence of filial piety, and he himself has become an example for future generations to follow.
