Full-text Translation of the Book of Filial Piety

At home, when parents call us, they should answer it as soon as they hear it. Don't answer slowly. When our parents ask us to do something, we should act quickly and don't delay or be too lazy to do it. When parents want us to study hard and teach us, we must be respectful and not casual, and we must listen to our hearts. If our parents blame our mistakes, we should obey and bear them. We shouldn't go against them and make them sad.

As children, we should pay attention to whether our parents wear warm clothes and live in warm places in winter. Consider whether parents feel cool in summer. Get up every morning, be sure to visit your parents and ask how you are; When you come back at night, you must also greet your parents. When you go out, tell your parents where you want to go. When you get home, you must meet your parents and reassure them. There is a certain order in daily life, and we will not change what we do casually.

Although things are small, don't make a decision without telling your parents. If you act arbitrarily, it will be detrimental to your duties as a child. Although things are small, don't hide behind your parents' backs. Parents must be very sad to know.

Parents should try their best to prepare everything they like, and parents should carefully exclude everything they don't like. If our bodies are hurt, it will definitely bring sadness to our parents. If our character is missing, it will make our parents feel humiliated and humiliated.

Parents love their children, and children can be filial to their parents, which is extremely natural. What is the difficulty of such filial piety? If parents hate us, but they can still be filial, it will be commendable. Most people always think that what parents have paid for their children is the obligation of filial piety. What's the difference between this and bargaining in the vegetable market?

When parents make mistakes, they must persuade and correct their children, but when persuading, they must never keep a straight face, keep an expression, be gentle and cheerful, and speak gently and peacefully. If parents don't accept our suggestion, wait until parents are happy. If parents are still stubborn and don't listen to advice, people with filial piety can't bear to let their parents fall into injustice, and even cry loudly for their parents to make up for it, even if they are beaten by their parents, they have no complaints.

When parents are ill, children must taste the cooked soup first, whether it is too cold or too hot. No matter day or night, we should serve our parents and not be too far away from them at will. When your parents are seriously ill, they need someone to take care of them most, especially their children can accompany you and take care of their daily lives. This is the warmest and most satisfying thing for parents. When our parents are seriously ill and dying, as children, can we give up this opportunity because of our busy career or lack of time?

Parents died unfortunately and had to mourn for three years. During mourning, they often cry because they miss their parents, and the place where they live has become simple. They have given up drinking and eating meat. Handling parents' funerals should conform to etiquette, not sloppy, and be sincere when offering sacrifices. Treat your dead parents as you treated them before they died.

The original text of Xiao Jing:

Parents should call, don't drag down their lives, don't be lazy, and parents should be respectful and obedient.

It's warm in winter and warm in summer, and it's decided that you must sue. Facing the status quo, business remains the same.

Although the matter is small, don't be good at it. If you are good at it, you will lose. If you are very young, don't hide.

Love is good, love is bad, love is bad, love is hurt, love is sorrow, love is hurt, love is shame.

Dear, why is it difficult for me to be filial and I hate my filial piety? Fang Xian's relatives have advised me to make my color more pleasing and my voice softer.

If you don't listen to advice, you can cry with that slut, and you can't complain. If you are sick, try it first and stay in bed day and night.

After three years of mourning, I often mourn, turn my life into wine and meat, and do my best to serve the deceased.

Definition of words: Filial piety is a Chinese vocabulary, pronounced as rê zé xià o, which is taken from Disciples Rules. It means: brothers and sons should be filial to their parents when they go home.
