The unique spiritual civilization of the Chinese nation is filial piety.
The culture dominated by Christianity in the west is the' T-frame culture', and the eastern culture is completely in line with the form of the cross. What is the truth? Western culture pays more attention to parents' love for their children, but ignores their filial piety when they grow up. As long as the children get married, they will leave their parents. Future generations cannot be connected with the previous generation. Can't it be a "D" without the part above the "X"? And China, from parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, to ancestors long ago, even buddhas, bodhisattvas and gods; Then it spread from myself to my son, grandson, great-grandson and great-grandson for thousands of generations. And the horizontal contact, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, also need kindness, forming a complete clan society, criss-crossing, just a' cross' shaped culture.
However, today's China society has almost been reduced to a T-frame image. No matter in the countryside or in the town, the old father and mother are sitting opposite each other, tearful and heartbroken. Moreover, now that a son has a wife, it is equivalent to getting married. He often gets along well with his parents-in-law and alienates his biological parents. Even if the son lives with his parents, the daughter-in-law may not be able to honor his in-laws. The son belongs to the country and the woman belongs to others. This is another situation. Anyway, this generation has problems with filial piety and culture.
Where does the culture of filial piety come from? From the clan society of the big family of the Chinese nation, the central force to maintain this big family society in ancient times is filial piety. Ceng Zi, a student of Confucius, also wrote an important book called The Book of Filial Piety as a model of filial piety.
The Book of Filial Piety is the foundation of China's culture for thousands of years, and modern people should never ignore it.
A truly filial son is not only filial to his parents, but also to his parents all over the world. If you enlarge your mind, treat the parents in the world as parents, and treat the children in the world as children, then you are a filial person, who knows the world, respects ghosts and gods, and wants everything, not just the health of parents. Everything can be answered.
