What is the relevance of the ancient "twenty-four filial piety" for today?

Filial piety has always been a traditional moral quality of the Chinese nation and one of the most obvious differences between the Chinese cultural world and the culture that exists. The Chinese can be said to have conceptualized it in ancient times, and they will increasingly focus on it. In the laws of the Sui Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty had a "Ten Evils" and a "Ten Evil Sins" that were unrestrained. Before the Sui Dynasty, rulers attached great importance to filial piety, but they only incorporated guilt.

For example, the number of ancient emperors is generally added to the "filial piety", while in the Han Dynasty, in addition to the high emperor Liu Bang, the emperor of the other emperors, the emperor of the emperor, is filial piety (Guangwu emperor:), such as Han Xiaohua Han emperor, Han Xuan Di is Han Xiaoxuan emperor. It can be seen that the ancient period paid more attention to "filial piety". Even in order to promote filial piety, it is also specially compiled many ancient filial piety contract to make "twenty-four filial piety" to promote filial piety.

Although good, there are many behaviors in the "twenty-four acts of filial piety" that are not worth learning. Some of the covenants remain very much the same and are difficult to agree to. For example, in the following example, it's just a serious one!

"Burying and Sending Mother" essentially says that there was an Eastern Han man named Guo Ju. He didn't want his family to be alone because of his family, but he didn't have business skills, so he slowly walked away and went without rice so late. Under the helplessness, I have to discuss with my wife: my son and mother at the same time cannot be supported. Now I have to bury my son and save the food in the mother.

Just while digging the hole, suddenly made money to God, so I have enough money to raise the child and support my mother.

The story of "burial and praise" seems to be a sincere contract of filial piety, but there are two points worth examining.

First, to support the mother and burn the child to save the diet for the mother. Do not say that a child can eat a little grain, just say that Guo Ju's old mother would certainly know about it, along with the old man's idea that her continued survival is based on the grandchildren of others, must be depressed. End, Guo Que is filial piety filial piety? If the old mother knows that the grandson can keep her alive, they are happy to enjoy, is the "cold-blooded" elders really worthy of respect?

The second is that "God gave good gold" can be completely determined to be impossible to become one day, and then if this deed is true, "burial was sent to her mother" can be manufactured by covering up the source of the gold. Or there was no digging for the gold and the child was finally buried. This has reverted to the point above.

From here, "buried and praised" is not only problematic, but the truth deserves to be elevated.

The "sliding shovel" that is so common online is actually the behavior of the Jin Dynasty. Jin Xiang, Jin Dynasty, Yang Xiang, 14 years old, his father cooked rice. I suddenly ran down from the mountain and I took Yang Xiang's father directly. Yang Xiang, no iron (sickle:), when it was in a hurry, jumped directly to the tiger, and held the tiger's neck with both hands. After a while, the tiger gasped but difficult, Yang Xiang's father escaped the mountains. The average weight of the southern tiger, for example, is 150 kilograms, the body is 2.6 meters long, and the bitterness is 450 kilograms. Just a huge thing to say Wu Ge drunk, dare to challenge it, but a little trustworthy, but it is necessary to say that a fourteen-year-old boy, red-handed with the tiger's neck hit the tiger head retreat. That's not "sliding." Still "sliding"? Of course, this kind of filial piety is praiseworthy, but it is not too false.

Still in the Eastern Han Dynasty, a man named Jiang Shi had the better luck of marrying a rather Xianhui wife called Pang. Jiang Shi's mother had two main hobbies and liked to drink like the Yangtze River. But because the house was a bit of a distance from the houses on the Yangtze River, Pang's would pick up the water and buy fish early every morning to support her mother-in-law. It was probably that winter when the wind was particularly cold, and because of the cold wind, Pang's was back on the road. After a while, the meal was delayed. As a result, Jiang Shi believes that Pang Pang began to fare to his mother, a paper will return to his mother.

Jiang Shi's mother learned that this would require Jiang Shi to pick up his wife. Pang Pang has a kind of sky in the well of Jiang Shi's house, and even fishing every day. This is "Yongquan".

Don't talk about exaggeration, there is a problem with Jiang's attitude towards his wife. If you don't ask, you can take a wife at a late wife. The Han Dynasty held a lawsuit, those who believe in filial piety is absolutely fine, but Jiang poet not only severed? Although the women of the ancient historical position is not high, but they may be suspicious and degraded, and they have a high filial piety. On the side of women, the status of women will be very low, such filial piety now rely on, I can have a great way?

Twenty-four filial piety strange filial pacts far more than some, such as the "smell of feces" in the father's body, behavior is not normal, but the advocate is also very uncomfortable.

He said, in the twenty-four filial piety there are so many twilight silk, of course, is not to indicate that the ancient filial piety is not feasible, such as "equal to Lei Jing grave" is very normal and touch. But times are going on, ideas are going on, we have to go through all the things to be inherited, but there is a destination to choose, to go to their murders, to present the essence, which is the traditional Chinese culture. For example, in the new era of the "twenty-four acts of filial piety", which, with modern values, contract and touch of lungs, behavioral initiatives have not been exaggerated. This is the best heritage of the culture.
