The word "Lao" in the upper part comes from "Kao", which originally meant that people walking on crutches represent smiling old people with sparse hair above; The sub-word below is a young man, representing the descendants of this old man. The glyph of the two characters is connected up and down, which vividly expresses the original meaning of the word "filial piety", that is, young children and grandchildren should always help the old and infirm, go out to help the old, listen to their teachings, take care of and care for the old in life, and often follow their ideas to make the old happy every day. Honor the elderly and let them live in their old age.
Today I share the Book of Filial Piety: filial piety is the first of all virtues, 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 loves deeply must be kind, and those who are kind must be happy, and those who are happy must be graceful."
People who truly honor their parents will always maintain a harmonious color in front of their parents. No matter how much you love and do for your parents, how can you be a dutiful son if you often contradict your parents?
Now that we have a good life, we basically have nothing to eat and wear. Perhaps in many people's minds, we think that it is enough to meet the basic needs of parents, and it is enough to spend time with them. When we are with them, we are also busy looking at our mobile phones, busy with business, and have no idea at all.
The intention is to really put down their mobile phones, put aside their work, stay with their bodies completely, feel their parents' needs attentively, listen to their complaints attentively, solve their problems with a pleasant countenance and broaden their minds.
There is a saying called "the youngest", which means that when you are young, you will play a small temper and lose your temper. You may deliberately pretend to be sick like a child or how to attract the attention of children. My analysis is because the old man is too lonely to listen to anything and has nowhere to say. At this time, we must be particularly tolerant of them.
Pay special attention to avoid "color difficulty"! Always treat your parents kindly. We should not only honor our parents in form, but also truly respect and care for them from the bottom of our hearts, and show cheerful expression and respect in our brow, words and deeds anytime and anywhere.
One more thing, we really need to pay more attention to them, which is particularly unusual. Recently, the elderly on both sides have not told us that they are sick, for fear that we will know and worry. Although we may just call to say hello and earn some money, they can't bear the real illness, only the sisters around her are filial.
"Filial piety is the first of all virtues, and filial piety is the foundation of virtue", so, to be a man and do things, we should do "filial piety" well first!
