1, definition and source:

Filial piety, which first appeared in ancient China, is a very important concept, which refers to children's respect, care and love for their parents. "Filial piety" was originally composed of a pictograph "You" representing two hands and a pictograph "Lao" representing the elderly, meaning that children rely on the strength of the elderly to show respect.

2. Traditional ideas and classic literature:

Filial piety culture has a far-reaching influence in the ancient history of China and is regarded as one of the cornerstones of moral ethics.

The Analects of Confucius, Mencius and other ancient classic documents all expounded the importance of filial piety, emphasizing that children should express filial piety through words and deeds, respect their parents and meet their needs.

3. Social evolution and concept change:

With the evolution of society, the concept of filial piety has gradually expanded from family ethics to social ethics. Filial piety is not only respect for parents, but also respect and care for elders, teachers and the motherland.

In modern society, although filial piety is still regarded as an important value, with the change of family structure and the diversification of cultural concepts, the manifestations of filial piety are constantly evolving.

4, filial piety writing form:

The evolution of filial piety is another important aspect. With the change of China's writing standard, the form of filial piety has also changed several times. The earliest glyph was similar to two hands, and later it became an ideographic form with a bunch of swaddling clothes (symbolizing children), and later it evolved into the modern word "filial piety".

Expand knowledge:

Filial piety culture was highly respected in ancient China, and gradually formed a wealth of filial piety ideas and practical methods, such as "not going against the mother's wishes for three years" and "putting all virtues and filial piety first". In recent years, with the rapid urbanization and changes in family structure, filial piety culture has encountered new challenges in China. In modern cities, children are often troubled by work pressure and lack of time. How to inherit and carry forward the filial piety culture has become an important social problem.

Filial piety education has become an important task for schools and social organizations. By propagating the concept and practice of filial piety to parents, we can cultivate the values of respecting elders and caring for others for the younger generation. In addition, some Internet platforms also provide the content of filial piety education, so as to better spread and promote the filial piety culture.
