What story is filial piety telling?

"Filial piety" is the core of Confucian ethics, the moral criterion for maintaining family relations in China for thousands of years, and the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. In Yuan Dynasty, Guo compiled the stories of 24 filial sons in ancient times into Twenty-four Filial Pieties. Later printed books were all equipped with pictures, commonly known as "24 filial piety pictures", which became popular reading materials to promote filial piety. Filial piety is the essence of China traditional culture.

In addition, Lu Xun believes that the main purpose of the 24 th filial piety map is to promote feudal filial piety. Starting with his feelings of reading Twenty-four Filial Pieties when he was a child, he mainly described the strong antipathy caused by reading two stories, Lao Lai Entertainment and Guo Ju Buried the Son.

Lu Xun wants to tell us through this article that filial piety is justified, pedantry is stupid, blind obedience is sad and defending morality is hateful. How to advocate filial piety is still a question worthy of consideration and discussion for China people now.

Those perfect gods who have been painstakingly "decorated" and worshipped and admired cannot touch people's hearts. What really touches us ordinary people will always be those ordinary heroes, those who used to be cowardly, selfish and hesitant, but finally chose brave, persistent and determined people.
