There was a man named Wang Xiang in the Western Jin Dynasty. His mother died when he was very young. My father married his stepmother Zhu. But Zhu was mean, very mean to Wang Xiang, and often spoke ill of him in front of his father, so he gradually lost his father's love.

One winter, her stepmother Zhu was ill and wanted to eat fresh carp. But it's freezing, the river is frozen, and it's impossible to catch fish. Wang Xiang took off his coat and lay naked on the ice, trying to melt the ice with his body's heat in order to catch it. After waiting for a while, the ice melted and two carp jumped out of the ice cave. Wang Xiang was so happy that she took the fish home to visit her stepmother.

Stepmother wants to eat roasted yellowbird again, but yellowbird is hard to catch. Just when Wang Xiang was worried, dozens of yellowbirds suddenly flew into his bird net. He was overjoyed and immediately used it to worship his stepmother. Gradually, the stepmother got better. Neighbors marveled that this was Wang Xiang's filial piety that touched the sky.

Since then, his behavior has become a much-told story in Shili Village. People all praise Wang Xiang as a rare dutiful son in the world. There is a poem praising: there is a stepmother in the world, but Wang Xiang doesn't; There are still ice molds on the river so far.

Lying on the ice to find carp is an ancient folklore story. The Story of Searching for the Gods, which originated from Gan Bao, tells the story of Wang Xiang, a man from A Jin, fishing on the ice for his stepmother in winter, and is regarded as a classic of filial piety by later generations. In June 2006, it was selected as the intangible cultural heritage of Shandong folk literature.

Wang Xiang (184-268), a native of Linyi, was a minister of the Western Jin Dynasty. Wang Xiang was knighted because of his filial piety and political achievements, and Wang Xiang lived in seclusion for more than 20 years. Later, he became a big sinong, an ordinary county magistrate from Wenxian as well. He died at the age of eighty-four, and his filial piety was sung for generations.

Filial piety is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. As long as there are people, there must be filial piety. When I first wanted to rebuild the filial piety temple, I mainly thought of the warning function of education to future generations and the promotion of filial piety culture.

China is entering an aging society ahead of schedule, and the social security system and system are not perfect. Most elderly people still depend on their children for support. Advocating filial piety for the elderly is still a realistic problem. Promoting filial piety culture plays an important role in the construction of spiritual civilization and harmonious society.

Seven of the twenty-four filial piety stories came from Linyi, and the story of Wang Xiang lying on the ice begging for carp was pushed to the top of the twenty-four filial piety, with the most far-reaching influence. Wang Xiang's filial piety has standardized people's thoughts and behaviors for thousands of years, and has become a much-told story in history. In order to promote the filial piety culture, Baishabu Town organizes primary and secondary school students in the town to receive traditional filial piety culture education in spring and autumn every year, stressing filial piety, reading filial piety classics, listening to filial piety classes, and publicizing filial piety, so that filial piety education is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
