Classical recitation of filial piety and respect for the elderly on Chongyang Day

The classic recitations of filial piety and respect for the elderly on Chongyang Festival are "Xiaojing" and "Youzi Yin".

1. The Xiaojing is one of the most important classics in traditional Chinese culture, which contains the profound truth of filial piety and respect for the elderly. We can appreciate the spiritual connotation of filial piety by reciting the classic chapters in the Xiaojing. For example: Filial piety is the foundation of virtue. It is the beginning of filial piety. The end of filial piety is to build up one's body and behavior, and to make one's name known to one's parents in future generations.

This passage tells us that filial piety is the foundation of morality, and that our bodies and lives are given to us by our parents, and should be cherished, which is the starting point of filial piety. And to set up a body and walk the path and leave a good name for future generations is the end point of filial piety. This is exactly where the spirit of filial piety and respect for the elderly lies in the Chung Yeung Festival.

2. In addition to the Classic of Filial Piety, ancient poems are also a treasure trove of expressions of filial piety and respect for the elderly. For example, Meng Jiao's "Song of the Traveling Son" wrote: "The thread in the hands of a loving mother, the clothes on the body of the traveling son. The thread in the hands of a loving mother, the clothes on the body of a wandering son.

This poem depicts the mother's attachment and care for her son, expressing the greatness and selflessness of mother's love. On this special day of Chung Yeung Festival, we should cherish our family love and return the favor of our parents.
