Observe his actions. Three years without changing your father's ways can be described as filial piety. (The "ambition" of "father is observing his ambition" means "ambition" in ancient times, including thoughts and attitudes. We have all been sons, and we all have this experience: Father and teacher heard the lesson in front of them and kept saying "yes", but turned their backs and made faces at classmates and friends to show that they would not listen. Therefore, the sentence "Father is reading the will" means that parents should be consistent in words and deeds. That is, when parents are not in front of them, behind their backs, and even when their parents die, they should be consistent in words and deeds, sincere and sincere, and very frank. If they say no, they won't accept it. If you are a good person, you must do it to the end. After the death of parents, you can't change the way of being a father for three years. Three years have passed, and your feelings have not faded, and your words and deeds are consistent. This is a dutiful son. Chapter 6(5) belongs to "two ends and four corners" heuristic teaching.
