In the thought of confidence, filial piety (Chinese: filial piety; Pinyin: xiào) is one of the virtues to be cultivated: love and respect for parents and ancestors.

Therefore, it has been one of the basic examination materials of China Imperial Examination for more than two thousand years.

Filial piety is regarded as the first virtue in China culture and the main focus of many stories. The most famous story of this kind is Twenty-four Filial Pieties. These stories describe how children used to be filial. Although China has always had a variety of religious beliefs, filial piety is the common ground of almost all religious beliefs; Historian Hugh D.R.

These traditions are sometimes enforced by law; For example, in some parts of the Han Dynasty, those who neglected ancestor worship may be punished by corporal punishment.
