The Son said, "The Father is there, and he is watching his will." The Father is not, watch his deeds. Three years without changing the way of the Father can be described as filial piety. ”
Confucius said, "When a father is alive, watch the child's ambitions." When the father dies, observe his words and deeds, and if he does not change his father's correct words and deeds for a long time, then this person is a filial piety. ”
Since ancient times, China has been based on filial piety, and here Confucius also said how to do filial piety. Throughout his life, Confucius was practicing benevolence and telling people to do good deeds. Filial piety comes first. Therefore, as a traditional virtue in China for thousands of years, observing filial piety is something that everyone should learn.
When we go to school now, we can study hard and get a good score on the exam, that is filial piety. After completing your studies, you can be self-sufficient, support yourself, don't let your parents worry, don't let your parents worry, this is also filial piety. When chatting and talking with parents, not saying some words that confront parents is also filial piety. Some people say that there is no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time. Being able to take care of your parents at bed when they are sick is true filial piety.
Every father wants his children to be ambitious and hope that their children can make a difference, so when their children are young, they must use the correct outlook on life and values to educate their children. Confucius said, "The Father is there, and he is looking at his will." "The ambition here must be the right ambition, the lofty ambition. But these aspirations were taught by my father. Therefore, a child should develop a good habit of filial piety to his parents from an early age. These habits are exactly the principles that our parents should teach our children to behave. Only when a child is correctly taught by his parents from an early age can he become a filial piety to his parents in the future.
Therefore, I personally feel that in this Analects, Confucius not only tells us how to be a filial piety person, but also tells parents that whether a child is filial or not depends entirely on the parents' education and guidance. This passage is very interesting, a simple sentence, saying two causal relationships. When the father is alive, he uses his correct behavior to teach the child to have the right ambition, and when the father dies, the child will insist on his correct ambition under such a correct education. In this way, whether a child is filial or not depends entirely on the parents. Therefore, as parents, we must educate our children in the right way and set a good example for our children.
Be a kind person, be a filial piety to your parents, you will not suffer losses. Everything in this world is about cause and effect. What kind of cause you plant, what kind of effect will be waiting for you. Therefore, we must maintain a filial heart.
