Why should we inherit? The reason for this is the following：

Filial piety is one of the two basic traditional moral codes of conduct of the Chinese nation, and the other is loyalty. For thousands of years, people have regarded loyalty and filial piety as nature, and even as a sign to distinguish people from animals. Loyalty and filial piety were put forward by saints, not saints. It is the historical product of long-term social practice in ancient China.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has established a big country with multi-ethnic unity, and there are two guarantees for its construction and maintenance. First, we must ensure the effective rule of a highly centralized power; Second, individual farmers living at the grass-roots level should be able to live and work in peace and contentment and engage in production. Highly centralized political power and extremely dispersed farmers should cooperate with each other to reduce opposition. Under the unified coordination of the whole country, they can carry out large-scale cross-regional industrial construction and cultural construction, prevent civil war, resist foreign invasion, and provide disaster relief and disease prevention. If individual farmers benefit from it, the world will be peaceful.

Agricultural production is a reasonable choice made by ancient China society according to the natural environment. Family is the basic production organization of one household in ancient China, which constitutes the basic cell of society. Families produced by small farmers have the obligation to pay taxes to the state, and the state has the responsibility to protect small farmers.

If the relationship between "country" and "home" is well coordinated, the world will be governed, and vice versa. The highest principle to ensure the effective rule of the country and the monarch is "loyalty"; The highest principle of filial piety is "filial piety" to consolidate the social order at the grass-roots level and increase the harmony of the township party neighborhood. The most basic cell in ancient China society was the family. Therefore, compared with filial piety, filial piety is more basic.

Filial piety in the Thirteen Classics takes filial piety as the highest principle of course. Later, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zai wrote Mingxi, which integrated loyalty and filial piety on the basis of the Classic of Filial Piety and formed a complete filial piety system from the perspective of philosophical ontology. It has played a positive role in the development of the Chinese nation, enhanced national cohesion and formed a * * * understanding of national values.

Since the May 4th Movement, some scholars have not regarded filial piety as a social phenomenon and behavior from a historical perspective. For the purpose of opposing feudal thought, it is wrong to say that filial piety is the source of evil, because it does not conform to historical reality.

Filial piety is the product of ancient social history, and it can't be regarded as the shackles that ancient saints came up with to restrict family children.

In ancient agricultural society, the government attached importance to moral ethics and sympathized with the hearts of parents all over the world, so there was an old saying that "parents don't travel far"; Filial piety runs through, parents should be filial when they are alive, and they often miss their parents' kindness after their death. To set an example for your children, there is an inherent motto: "The father is watching what he wants, the father is not watching what he does, and the father's way will remain unchanged for three years." As soon as the child is born, parents will guard him day and night, work hard and seriously, and be "sleepy in the morning" to their parents when they are sensible. Put yourself in the other's shoes and take care of your parents' good intentions, so there is a "inherit the wind"

Entering the modern society, China's social structure is in the process of transformation, and the phenomenon of social aging puts forward a new topic for the study of filial piety. With the implementation of China's family planning policy, a large number of only children have appeared. Children have the obligation to support their parents. In a new family, a couple have to take care of their parents. Some filial piety codes stipulated by traditional concepts are difficult for filial children to follow today. At present, the social security system is not perfect, and the family still plays the role of a safe haven for both parents and children.

Today, the understanding and interpretation of filial piety is facing an unprecedented new situation. The traditional concept that has been cultivated on the basis of family for thousands of years and penetrated into thousands of households needs to be re-recognized from theory to practice. This topic is related to the long-term stability of society and the rise and fall of the nation. As long as we work together, over time, in-depth study, there will be rich results.

The Analects of Confucius filial piety;

Meng Wenxiao. Confucius said: No violation. Fan Chi told me, "Sun Meng asked me about filial piety, and I said," There is no violation. Fan Chi said: What is it? Confucius said: the things in life are courtesy; Death, ritual burial, ritual sacrifice. Meng asked about filial piety. Confucius said: Parents only worry about their illness. Ziyou asks filial piety. Confucius said: filial piety today means that it can be raised. As for dogs and horses, both can be kept; Disrespect, why not? Xia Zi asks filial piety. Confucius said: color is difficult. If something happens, the disciple will handle it; There is wine and food, sir; Is it filial piety?

These four chapters are related, so they are explained together.

Meng Wenxiao. Confucius said: No violation. Fan Chi told me, "Sun Meng asked me about filial piety, and I said," There is no violation. Fan Chi said: What is it? Confucius said: the things in life are courtesy; When you die, you should be buried with ceremony and sacrificed with ceremony (Meng asked Confucius what filial piety was. Confucius said: You can't violate it. Later, when Fan Chi was driving for Confucius, Confucius told him about it and said, "Sun Meng asked me what filial piety is. I answered him: don't violate it. Fan Chi asked: What does this mean? Confucius said: when parents are alive, they should serve according to etiquette; When they die, they will be buried and sacrificed according to the ceremony.

According to Confucius' own interpretation, "non-violation" in this chapter should mean non-violation of etiquette.

As for why Confucius used two paragraphs to explain it, it did not violate it. Some scholars believe that Meng Nuoxian, Meng's father, is polite, so Confucius can be considered filial as long as he does not violate his father's will. But the general father's words and deeds are not consistent with etiquette. At this time, children should not be filial to their fathers, but should be filial to their courtesy.

Meng asked about filial piety. Confucius said: Parents only care about their own illness (Meng asked Confucius what filial piety is. Confucius said: Let parents worry only about their children's illness.

There are three interpretations of this chapter as follows: 1. Parents are only worried about their children's illness, so they must try their best to do everything well; 2. Parents only worry about their children's illness, and children should take care of themselves; Children should only worry about their parents' illness, and don't worry too much about others, otherwise they will make their parents uneasy.

I think the first meaning is broader, so I will explain it in detail as follows:

The implication of this chapter is that diseases are beyond people's control, and people have strong control in other aspects, so children must try their best to behave well in other aspects, so that parents will not worry about their children because of things other than diseases.

In fact, from the current medical point of view, there are still some causes or the degree of disease that we can control ourselves. For example, some infectious diseases have their own regional characteristics, so if you can't go to these places, you should try to avoid them (Taber's article "Don't enter dangerous countries" still has some similar meanings). If you must go, some preventive measures should not be omitted. Malaria, for example, can be prevented by taking medicine before going. In addition, some infectious diseases are related to personal behavior, so it is certainly possible and necessary to avoid dangerous behaviors, such as sexually transmitted diseases. There are also some chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes. And you should take the medicine regularly according to the doctor's instructions, because it has a considerable relationship with the control of the disease; Proper diet is as important as exercise, and it can also be controlled by yourself. There are also some healthy behaviors, such as a balanced diet, maintaining weight, etc., which are also closely related to health. We should also pay attention to these.

From this perspective, the real meaning of Confucius' chapter may be understood as: children should try their best to do whatever they can do well, so that parents will not be disturbed by their children.

Ziyou asks filial piety. Confucius said: filial piety today means that it can be raised. As for dogs and horses, both can be kept; If disrespectful, why not? Ziyou asks Confucius what filial piety is. Confucius said: Today's filial piety is to be able to support and take care of parents. But the dogs and horses at home are also kept and taken care of! If you have less respect in your heart, how can you tell the difference between the two?

"As for dogs and horses, both can be kept" has two interpretations: 1. Dogs and horses are also raised by people; 2. Dogs and horses can also serve people; But according to the second explanation, it seems that the word "you" is not needed.

Xia Zi asks filial piety. Confucius said: color is difficult. If something happens, the disciple will handle it; There is wine and food, sir; Is it filial piety?

Xia Zi asked Confucius what filial piety was. Confucius said: It is the hardest thing for the younger generation to keep respectful and cheerful. Something, young people do; When there is abundant food, it is eaten by elders; Can this be considered filial piety?

There are also two solutions to the color difficulty in this chapter: 1. What the younger generation looks like (see the picture above for details); 2. The appearance of elders: It means that you can know what your parents think before their appearance has changed.

The Analects of Confucius has the word "filial piety" in chapter 14. Among them, Confucius said that there are six chapters (5+ 1, reproduced as one chapter) related to the definition of filial piety, that is, learning is added to the four chapters of the political chapter. Confucius said: the father is there, watching his ambition; Father didn't. Observe his actions. Three years without changing your father's ways can be described as filial piety. Chapter 6(5) belongs to "two ends and four corners" heuristic teaching.

To sum up the meaning of chapter 6(5) is: when parents are alive, get along with them respectfully; Keep a happy expression; Behavior should be in harmony with righteousness and propriety; In addition, we must try our best to do everything well and try our best to reduce parents' worries about themselves; After the death of parents, the funeral ceremony should also be combined with ceremony; And we should always remember them and imitate their words and deeds, so that we can all do it. This is filial piety.
