Of all virtues, filial piety comes first. What is the worst?

All virtues put filial piety first and all evils first.

From the Qing Dynasty prose collection "Night Talk Around the Furnace"

Author: Wang Yongbin

If you are always filial, you can't bear to do what you can't do in the world, so filial piety is the first.

With evil thoughts, it is not difficult for people who are extremely unwilling to be in this life, so prostitution is the first of all evils.

Always keep the attitude of benevolence and filial piety, so that you can't bear to do what you can't do in the world. So people say that filial piety is the premise of all good behavior. As long as people have evil thoughts, they may do things that they are extremely unwilling to do, so fornication is the beginning of all kinds of evil deeds.

According to legend, Yong Dong was a native of Gancheng (now north of gaoqing county, Shandong Province) in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Jiang, a native of Guanghan, Sichuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, married Ponzi. Husband and wife are filial, and their home is six or seven miles away from the Yangtze River. Ponzi often goes to the river to get the Yangtze River water that her mother-in-law likes to drink. Mother-in-law loves fish, and husband and wife often cook fish for her. My mother-in-law didn't want to eat alone, so she invited her neighbors to eat together. Once, because of the strong wind, Ponzi came home late to fetch water. Jiang suspected that she had neglected her mother and kicked her out of the house.

Ponzi lived in a neighbor's house, worked hard day and night to spin and weave, and sent his savings to his neighbor to honor his mother-in-law. Later, my mother-in-law learned of Ponzi's dismissal and asked Chiang to invite him back. On Ponzi's way back to China, spring water suddenly gushed out of the courtyard, which tasted like the Yangtze River water, and two carp jumped out every day. From then on, Ponzi used these to worship his mother-in-law, so that he didn't have to go to the river far away.
