The word "Lao" in the upper part comes from "Kao". The original meaning of "Kao" means the person walking on crutches, representing the old man with sparse hair and a smile on his face. The lower sub-word is a young man, representing the descendants of this old man. The glyph of the two words is connected up and down, which vividly tells the original meaning of the word "filial piety", that is, young descendants should always help the elderly who are old and weak, go out to help the elderly, listen to their teachings, take care of and care for the elderly in life, and often follow their thoughts, so that the elderly can be happy every day. Honor the elderly and let them live in their old age.
Today I share "filial piety": all the virtues's filial piety comes first, and filial piety is the foundation of virtue.
Filial piety is the virtue of Chinese children.
what is true "filial piety"?
There is a passage in the Book of Rites: "A dutiful son who has deep love must be kind, a kind person must be happy, and a happy person must be graceful.".
people who truly honor their parents will always maintain a pleasant color in front of their parents. No matter how much you love your parents, how many things you have done and how much you have done for your parents, how can you be a dutiful son if you often contradict your parents?
Now our lives are good, and we basically have no worries about food and clothing. Perhaps in many people's minds, it is enough to satisfy their parents' basic necessities, and they just need to spend time with them. When they are with them, they are busy with their mobile phones and business, and they have no intention at all.
Intention is to really put down your mobile phone, put aside your work, stay with your body completely, feel your parents' needs with your heart, listen to their complaints with your heart, solve their problems with a pleasant countenance, and broaden their hearts.
There is a saying called "the youngest", that is to say, when you are young, you will play a small temper, make a small temper, and you may get sick on purpose like a child or how to attract children's attention. I analyzed that it was because the old man was too lonely to listen to anything and had nowhere to say. At this time, we must especially tolerate them.
pay special attention to avoid "color difficulty"! Always treat your parents kindly and lovingly. Not only do you have to honor your parents in form, but you also have to truly respect and care for your parents from the bottom of your heart, and you can show a pleasant look and respect between your brow and in your words and deeds anytime and anywhere.
One more thing, we really need to pay more attention to them, which is especially unusual. Recently, the elderly on both sides are ill without telling us, for fear that we will know that we are worried. Although we may only call to say hello and make some money, we can't bear the real illness for them, and only the sisters around her are filial.
"Filial piety comes first in all the virtues, and filial piety is the foundation of virtue". Therefore, to be a man and do things well, filial piety should be done first!
