The reason why China paid attention to providing for the aged in ancient times.

This will extend to the inheritance of traditional culture in China. See the figure below for details:

Filial piety, passed down from generation to generation, means "good parents"

The word "filial piety" means "handed down from generation to generation" and has the original meaning of "parents' kindness". That is to say, when the ancients created this word, they expressed the original meaning of "filial piety-oriented", which is also the reason why the Chinese nation has been circulating for thousands of years. Mencius also said, "I am old, and people are old; Young people, young people, young people; The world can be transported in the palm of your hand. " Raising old-age care to the height of governing the country is also the reason why China has attached importance to old-age care throughout the ages.
