The significance of filial piety culture in today's society

All virtues put filial piety first, and all good deeds begin with filial piety.

A father loves mountains, and a mother loves water. Walking through thousands of waters in Qian Shan, you can't walk out of the mountains and rivers, inheriting filial piety and focusing on practice.

China's filial piety culture has a long history and is profound. Since ancient times, we have regarded filial piety as the head of virtue, the foundation of life, the treasure of family heirloom and the way of governing the country. But with the rapid development of economy, our filial piety has been diluted unconsciously. Inheriting Chinese virtues and promoting filial piety culture is still the call of our times.

Go straight to the current problem

Times are changing dramatically, but fortunately, the nature of family and filial piety has not changed. Family ethics such as "showing kindness to father, filial piety to parents, respecting brothers and sisters, and being kind to parents" are still the living standards of China people. But we also have to admit and face up to the fact that the fast pace of modern society is impacting and decomposing the connotation and performance of traditional filial piety. How do most of us usually do filial piety to our parents? It is understood that the answer is actually: save money for parents to support the elderly, give parents pocket money and so on. And talk to them more through video. Usually busy with work, I have little time to spend with my parents. Even when parents are sick, they can only hire a nanny, but can't take care of them.

"The sheep has the meaning of kneeling, and the crow has the meaning of feeding back". Economic support, life care and spiritual comfort are the basic contents of China people's practice of filial piety since ancient times.

Then the practical significance of China's traditional filial piety culture lies in

At present, China is in the early stage of aging, and if the family pushes the responsibility of providing for the aged to the society, the society can't bear it. Therefore, we must carry forward the traditional filial piety culture, practice it, and care for the elderly.

Inheriting filial piety in the new era focuses on practice.
