The filial piety of national culture

National education is the root of culture, the soul of the nation, the classics of national education is the essence of China's five thousand years of traditional culture. Its content can be said to be all-encompassing, profound, and one of the filial piety have to mention.

First of all, let's think about a few Chinese characters, one is the old man's "old" word, the following is a knife, the knife replaced by a child's "son", the word read what? "Filial piety". Right, so filial piety means that children should put their parents on a high pedestal. Confucius said, "Filial piety is the foundation of virtue," which means that filial piety is the foundation of morality, and if one is not filial, one lacks the foundation of morality, or is lacking in virtue! Confucius also said, "filial piety is the scripture of heaven, the righteousness of the earth, and the behavior of the people," meaning that filial piety and respect for the elderly is a matter of heavenly and earthly justice, but the fact is that the culture of filial piety is pathetic nowadays! We have heard a lot, for example, some people in their old age, although the status of money is not lacking, children three or five in the minority, also received higher education, doctoral, master's degree, but one by one flew to foreign countries, never come back, leaving the old couple at home, you look at me, I look at you, complaining about each other for a while, gave birth to so many sons and daughters, read so much, and what's the use of it? Then, they sit together in pairs, "with tears in their eyes and broken hearts", and the days go by like this, and the only good friend is the "TV" for companionship. We have also heard of an old man who died in front of his second son's house, such a tragedy is really chilling. When we are accusing our children of being unfilial, have we ever reflected on the root cause of the problem that led to such a tragedy? I think it may be the education that everyone receives from childhood in the family.

In fact, the historical record of respect for the elderly and old age can be traced back to more than two thousand years ago, in which Confucius advocated the most, and the word "filial piety" appeared 17 times in the Analects of Confucius. In the Song Dynasty, Chancellor Zhao Pu said that he ruled the world with half of the Analects of Confucius, and why was he able to rule the world? It is because of the filial piety moral education, visible Chinese culture, the education of filial piety as the best method of management in the continuation.

Chinese filial piety, emphasizes: filial piety and respect for parents, the first step to self-love. The Xiaojing says, "The hair and skin of the body, received from parents, do not dare to damage, the beginning of filial piety." Our body hair and skin is given by parents, connected to the parents' heart, even if there is a half damage and disease will make parents worried, so we must always pay attention to their own safety not to let the body get hurt for no reason, pay attention to health, not let the disease stalking, so that parents will not be worried about us. This is the first step in making your parents feel at ease and repaying them for their kindness.

The second step is to honor your parents. In the "Rules of Discipleship", "Being filial, being fraternal, being careful and trustworthy, loving all people, and being kind to them." It puts filial piety in the first place, which also shows that the way of filial piety and fraternal duty is our foundation. We Chinese talk about filial piety. If one has no affection for one's parents, brothers, sisters and friends, and if one's affection is not strong, and if one wants him to love the world, the country and the society, then that is an empty slogan, and it is impossible. Saying that he really has love, how can he love the world, the country and society when he has not even loved his parents, brothers, sisters and friends? The happiest thing in life is to have one's parents still alive, to have one's parents at the top, to have one's brothers and sisters at the side, and to live in harmony and well-being. This is the happiest, the most joyful, the most blissful, and the healthiest family, social, and spiritual and psychological life in life. If this is the case for everyone and every family, the world will be at peace. Therefore, the reason why Confucianism, Confucius and Mencius advocate filial piety is to establish family health, social health and human health.

There is a story that one day, an old gentleman was asked which is more important, the sun or the moon. That old gentleman thought for half a day and replied, "It's the moon, the moon is more important." "Why?" "Because the moon shines at night, and that's when we need the light the most, whereas the day is bright enough, and the sun shines at that time." You may laugh at the old gentleman's confusion, but don't you think that's true of many people? You never think anything of the people who take care of you every day; if a stranger helps you once in a while, you think he is good; your parents and family members have always been there for you, and you always take them for granted, and sometimes even get annoyed; once an outsider performs a similar act for you, you will be extraordinarily grateful. This is not the same as "grateful to the moon, deny the sun" as confused?

There was a girl who had a big fight with her mom, and she was so angry that she ran out of the house and decided never to come back to this nasty home! All day long, she wandered outside, her stomach growling with hunger, but she didn't have any money with her, and she couldn't bring herself to go home for dinner. Until the evening, she came to a noodle stall, smelled a burst of fragrance. She really wanted to eat a bowl, but she had no money on her body, so she could only swallow her saliva. Suddenly, the noodle stall owner asked kindly, "Little girl, do you want to eat noodles?" She answered shyly, "Uh-huh! But I don't have any money with me." The boss laughed out loud at this, "Haha, it's okay, let's say it's my treat today! The girl couldn't believe her ears as she sat down. Not long after, the noodles came and she ate them with great relish and said, "Boss, you're so nice!" The boss said, "Oh? How so?" The girl replied, "We've never known each other, yet you're so nice to me, unlike my mom, who doesn't understand my needs or thoughts at all, it's so irritating!" The boss laughed again, "Haha, little girl, I just gave you a bowl of noodles, and you're so grateful to me, so shouldn't you be even more grateful to your mom for helping you cook for more than twenty years?" Hearing the boss say this, the girl was like waking up from a dream, tears instantly came out of her eyes! She didn't bother to eat the remaining half bowl of noodles and immediately dashed home. Only to the door of the alleyway, the girl saw her mother from afar, is anxiously looking around the door, her heart immediately gripped together! The girl felt a thousand times ten thousand times sorry want to say to her mom. But before she had time to open her mouth, she saw her mother had greeted her: "Aiya! Where have you been all day? I'm in a hurry! Quickly into the home to wash your hands, eat dinner." This night, the girl only y appreciate her mother's love for her. So many times in life, we are always like this, when the sun has always been, people forget the light it gives; when the loved ones have always been, people will forget the warmth they give.

From ancient times to the present, filial piety has been emphasized by people all the time. Confucius raised filial piety to the height of theory and passed it on for future generations. He believed that filial piety is the obligation of life, the core of ethics and morality, and the soul of cultivating one's body and family, ruling the country and leveling the world. Not only did the ancients attach such importance to a person's virtue, but modern people also pay attention to a person's virtue cultivation, attach importance to the cultivation of "filial piety" for the next generation, and educate their children from childhood to respect their elders and their parents. Filial piety of filial piety plus a cultural text, this word is read in the education of the teaching, no filial piety is not taught. As an early childhood educator, how to practice in kindergarten is worth thinking about. In recent years set off the national education fever. Caused a lot of follow the state, some formalism of the so-called "filial piety" education, for example, some gardens use the parents open day to invite all the parents, let the children for them to wash their feet, if these activities do not have the connotation of the guidance of the education, do not let the young children to understand why filial piety, this activity may be empty and meaningless, but also against the the laws of physical and mental discovery and learning characteristics of young children. When it comes to filial piety education, it should belong to the social field, the Guide to the social field of the content mentioned about sympathy for parents, many people have voiced doubts that children aged three to six years old can not do sympathy for filial piety parents, but the Guide to the educational recommendations also said "such as mom is tired. Know to let her be quiet for a while", in fact, reflects the filial piety that children of this age should acquire. Therefore, we should look at the child's learning with a developmental perspective, especially social-emotional, to focus on the cumulative effect of its long-term persistence. For children, "experience" is the appropriate way of learning, and "preaching" is not fully effective. That is to say, filial attitude is not a single teach out, nor is it detached from the actual existence of a single, but along with the activities of the process of experience.

In short, the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, we have to do is not only to spread, more is to practice, and some practice is really very simple, as at this time we can live well and work well, do their jobs, do not let their parents worry, do not give their parents shame, is in the practice of the culture of filial piety in the national culture. Thank you all!
