What does lying on the ice mean to carp?

Sleeping on the ice and begging for carp shows that ignorance and loyalty advocated by ancient feudal society are the same, and it is not worth promoting. It has been 2 1 century, so there is no need to advocate this pedantic and backward concept of filial piety. It is not that parents should not be filial, but a truly civilized and progressive family. Children and parents should understand each other, be tolerant and considerate. If parents are unreasonable, or some ideas conflict with their children, they should also communicate and solve them in the spirit of mutual understanding, instead of standing on the commanding heights of filial piety, making unreasonable demands on children and forcing them to unconditionally obey their parents' arrangements.

Lying on the ice looking for carp;

There was a man named Wang Xiang, whose grandfather was Wang Ren, who had been the secretariat of Qingzhou. His father Wang Rongrong was recommended as an official, but he refused. Wang Xiang was a very filial child, and his mother died when he was very young. His father married his stepmother Zhu. It is said that stepmother is heartless and Zhu is not a good thing. She often speaks ill of Wang Xiang in front of Wang Xiang's father, and over time she loses his favor. Stepmother Zhu Jing often arranged for him to do some heavy housework, such as cleaning the cowshed, and Wang Xiang was obedient every time.

One day, Wang Xiang undressed when her stepmother became ill. She brought them soup and medicine herself. Stepmother wants to eat fish. It was freezing, and Wang Xiang ran to the wild, took off his clothes and lay on the ice, melting the ice with his body temperature. Even carp was moved by him. Two carp jumped out of the ice cave, and Wang Xiang caught them and cooked them for his stepmother. His stepmother wanted to eat roasted yellowbird again, so dozens of yellowbirds flew in and got into his net. Wang Xiang caught yellowbird and roasted it for her stepmother. The neighbors were amazed and thought that Wang Xiang's filial piety touched the world.

The apple tree in the yard bore fruit, and his stepmother ordered him to wait day and night. When it was windy and rainy, Wang Xiang cried with a tree in his arms. His filial piety has reached such a point.
