Zhu Dexiao comes first. Why is "filial piety" the root of traditional culture?

There were many thinkers and reasonable ideas in ancient China, many of which are still worth learning from today, but they have been practicing and abiding by them all their lives. As the saying goes, all virtues and filial piety come first, which we should always implement. Why do some people say that filial piety is the root of traditional culture? First of all, our parents gave us life. If we can't even be filial to our parents, what do we care about? Second, some kings call them your father, hoping that the people can give everything to the king like their parents. Third, because Confucianism is deeply rooted in people's hearts, some famous sages make us admire.

First, it is difficult to repay our parents for giving us life, bringing us into this world and giving us infinite care and love. As children, filial piety is the best way to repay parents. What is filial piety? First, respect parents; Second, continue your descendants; Third, parents are advised if they are wrong. If even our closest parents can't be filial, can we still give our sincerity to anyone and other things? It was they who deeply realized this in ancient times, so they emphasized that filial piety is the foundation of traditional culture.

Second, everyone has a small country. A country is a big family. They are made up of countless small families. In ancient times, county officials called local parents, and some monarchs called you dad. They regard all courtiers and people as their sons, and hope that we will respect the king and our parents and officials as we respect our parents. Our bodies belong to them. The filial piety of the monarch is to set an example for his subjects, and I hope we can do the same to our monarch. Therefore, they strongly admire it.

Thirdly, the influence of Confucianism has occupied the mainstream culture of China. Since Confucius, all previous dynasties have regarded Confucian culture as their own orthodox culture, and made these things public, honoring filial piety, courtesy and faith. I hope the people can be influenced by this and fully support their own rule. Filial piety culture has also been recognized by many people, and some parents also want their old age to be good, so they ask their children to be filial. Filial piety comes first. Filial piety is the root of China traditional culture, so I came here.
