The Significance of Filial Piety in Modern Children's Families

Filial piety has been regarded as the most important part of Chinese traditional virtues since ancient times. Even in the era of trampling on culture again, even if there is no humanity, there is no blatant opposition to filial piety. Although everyone has different views and practices on filial piety, everyone agrees with the concept of "filial piety comes first".

As the core of China traditional culture, filial piety culture has many meanings and functions in the historical development of China.

The first is the cultivation of Lide.

Personally, filial piety is the basis of self-cultivation Without sincere respect for parents and relatives, how can you believe that he will truly respect others? If you are rude to your parents and relatives at home, how can you believe that his manners in society are sincere? If you don't love your parents and relatives, how can you believe that he will really love his friends?

"The Book of Filial Piety": How to add the virtue of a sage to filial piety? Therefore, under the knees of biological children, adoptive parents are strict. Sages teach respect with strictness and love with relatives. This is also the reason why the teaching of saints is not broken and its politics is not strict.

Visible sage's virtue, what can transcend filial piety? Children love their parents since childhood, and their respect for their parents increases. According to this nature of respecting parents, saints teach people to honor their parents; Teach people to love and respect their parents with their natural love. The enlightenment of saints can be successful without strict implementation, and the management of the country can be managed well without strict methods, precisely because it follows human nature.

Ceng Zi once said, "Be cautious in the end, and people's morality will return to thick", which means to show respect and memory for the morality of the deceased old man through funeral and sacrifice, and to educate future generations to follow the example of their predecessors, so as to promote people's inner goodness, improve their moral cultivation and form a simple and kind folk custom.

Therefore, by practicing filial piety, everyone's morality can be improved and improved. Otherwise, if you lose filial piety, you will lose the minimum morality of being a man. Therefore, Confucianism has always advocated that moral promotion should be based on self-cultivation and self-cultivation should be based on filial piety.

At present, many moral anomie problems in the society are fundamentally caused by the lack of correct norms for being at home from an early age. The most fundamental criterion of being a man is to clarify the rules of communication between people. In traditional terms, this is ethics. In recent decades, due to the overthrow of traditional ethics, it is impossible to establish new ethics. In the family, the communication between relatives has no rules at first and lost its due norms, resulting in the lack of rules, etiquette, cultural quality and moral cultivation in the communication between people in society.
