Pick up the original text and translate it for parents.

Collecting money from relatives is an ancient custom in China, which means to show respect and gratitude to parents. Picking refers to collecting fruits such as dates, medlar and chestnuts to support parents, hoping that they will live a long and healthy life. The following is the original and translation of the book:

"The Warring States Policy Qice VI": "My beloved son is like the following soil, but there are also shortcomings, so day and night, parents' thoughts are solid. People who pick up dates and arrows are not only for fruit, but also for their children and parents. "

This passage expresses the deep feelings between parents and children, and children often repay their parents' kindness with their own sweat. Collect fruits to support parents, honor parents and express gratitude to parents. This is a virtue in China's traditional culture, and it is also the embodiment of family harmony and parent-child relationship.
