Ruling the country by filial piety and ruling the country by law

To rule the country by filial piety is not as good as ruling the country by law, not in line with the development of modern civilization process. The law should be strict, filial piety has its folk understanding of the meaning, for example, point can be beaten to death, the child does not resist. Of course, parents may not punish their children when they do something wrong. So to rule by filial piety is not desirable, and has its scalability. It is easy to breed power and corruption, and is not scientific! So rule by filial piety can only be an aid to the idea of managing the people, the main thing is to rule by law.

Additionally, filial piety is the same as obedience, obedience is the same as stay (no independent thinking ability of a single value), when the people are accustomed to this kind of ideological model, once there is an invasion of foreign enemies so that the people are the same as sheep and cattle at the mercy of the slaughter. So the most important thing is not to use filial piety or law to rule the country, or to open the people's will as the goal, fully, educate the people to understand what, is their own rights, what is their obligations, the establishment of public **** moral norms is the most important!
