Introduce what kind of book the Book of Filial Piety is

Classical Chinese books that tell various stories and teachings about filial piety.

As one of the classic works of the Thirteen Confucian Classics, the Book of Filial Piety occupies an important position in the traditional Chinese cultural system. As the central foundation of the Confucian moral system, "filial piety" is not only regarded as the most virtuous way to govern the world by successive rulers, but also the basic moral code of ordinary people. In the new century, we should re-understand the idea of "filial piety" in the "Book of Filial Piety," which is of profound significance for carrying forward this traditional spirit.

1. The concept and connotation of "filial piety".

"Filial piety" is the title of the ethical and moral behavior of children and grandchildren in ancient China who are kind to their parents and elders. "Erya" says: "Good deeds are filial piety to parents."

Shuowen Jie Zi is explained as: "Filial piety, good deeds to parents." From the old province, from the son, the son inherits the old also.

It can be seen that the original meaning of filial piety is to support parents. The Zhou Dynasty formulated a religious law system linked by blood relations, making "filial piety" a formal human ethics norm and etiquette system. Filial piety is repeatedly mentioned in the Book of Filial Piety, and Confucianism clearly proposes that "filial piety is the foundation of virtue, and the place of teaching is born."

Regard "filial piety" as the foundation of morality and education. In the Confucian classics, especially in the "Book of Filial Piety", there are three main connotations of filial piety: first, filial piety and filial piety, which cannot be abandoned, including filial piety, filial piety, filial piety, and filial piety; The second is not to violate parents, including filial piety and filial piety.

The third is to keep filial piety for parents, including filial piety and funeral, filial piety. Fourth, filial piety at home and loyalty to the country, through the continuous expansion of Zengzi, Mencius, and Xunzi, a complete filial piety system has been formed.

2. The theoretical characteristics of filial piety in the Book of Filial Piety.

1) "Filial piety" is the core ideological concept with ontological significance in the Book of Filial Piety.

Filial piety in the Book of Filial Piety has ontological significance and foundation. Zi said: "Husband filial piety, the scriptures of heaven, the righteousness of the earth, and the deeds of the people."

Confucius believed that "filial piety" is a natural and righteous behavior, and he believed that "filial piety" is a law corresponding to the laws of heaven and earth in the world, and it is a moral behavior that conforms to the rules of operation of heaven and earth, and filial piety is a natural and righteous act. Heaven and earth and man constitute a whole in the Book of Filial Piety. If people can respect the heavens, respect the earth and respect each other, then the heavens can be smooth, can bless the world, bless the world, and the earth gods will give birth to all things, so that the five grains are abundant, that is, "filial piety is to the gods, light is in the four seas, and everything is all."

And believe that filial piety to achieve the most state is to move the heavens and the earth, virtue in the four seas, so as to achieve "the right time, the right place and the right people", filial piety this ethical norm throughout the life of a person, "husband and filial piety, beginning with the family, in the matter of the king, and finally stand." These three are the program of "filial piety". The main purpose is to promote the filial piety advocated by Confucianism, and believe that filial piety is the foundation of virtue and the origin of filial piety.

"Filial piety" embodies the "virtue of a sage", advocates using filial piety to standardize family ethics and adjusts family social interpersonal relations, but does not absolutize "filial piety" and advocates admonishing relatives, but this crucial point has been slowly diluted or even forgotten in the process of time.

The "Book of Filial Piety" is more than 1,700 words, divided into 18 chapters, and is the shortest of the "Thirteen Classics". The basic content is to talk about how all kinds of people from the Son of Heaven to the common people practice filial piety, and then persuade loyalty from filial piety. The Book of Filial Piety was included in the "Seven Classics" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and successive rulers attached great importance to it.
