Filial piety is an important part of Vietnamese traditional culture, which emphasizes the values of family and family, and promotes respect and filial piety for parents and elders. In Vietnam, filial piety permeates all aspects of society, both in daily life and in religious beliefs.
In contemporary society, with the changes in people's lifestyles and values, Vietnam's filial piety culture is also constantly evolving and spreading.
With the rapid development of the social economy, the change of family relations and the continuous advancement of urbanization, children have been away from the family for longer and longer, and the influence of elders has begun to decline.
With the rise of new media, young people's daily lives and social interactions have become richer and more diverse, and the importance of family and family relationships has gradually been diluted. Therefore, Vietnam's traditional filial piety culture is undergoing major changes and transformations in contemporary society.
This paper will analyze the evolution and spread of Vietnamese filial piety culture from multiple perspectives, including the influence of education, culture, media, religion and other aspects.
We will also explore the concept of filial piety that is prevalent in contemporary Vietnam, as well as the ways in which filial piety is perceived and expressed among different social groups. Through in-depth research on Vietnamese filial piety culture, we hope to better understand and pass on this traditional culture, while also contributing to the cultural development and improvement of social conditions in Vietnamese society.
——【·Historical background of Vietnamese filial piety culture】——
Vietnamese filial piety culture has deep roots in Vietnam's long history. Since the introduction of Confucian culture from China to Vietnam, it has always had a profound impact on Vietnamese family ethics and social customs.
Filial piety is regarded as one of the most basic and important moral norms, and traditionally, Vietnamese filial piety culture emphasizes the concept of children honoring their parents and elders. This concept reflects the traditional values and morality of the Vietnamese people who value family and affection.
In traditional Vietnamese culture, the family is considered the basic unit of society. Elders play an important role in the family, and they are usually responsible for the management and decision-making of family affairs. Children should respect and serve their parents and elders.
The child's role in this family is considered to be a servant of the general interest. This cultural tradition has led Vietnamese society to pay particular attention to the transmission of rights in the traditional family model.
At different times in Vietnam's history, filial piety culture also has different characteristics. In the era of social change and political turmoil, Vietnamese filial piety culture gradually developed towards a more common and widespread social phenomenon.
The influence of the status of elders and elders on children and younger generations has gradually diminished, but filial piety has always been a widely accepted cultural practice and traditional value of the Vietnamese people. We need to understand Vietnamese filial piety culture from a historical perspective to better understand its evolution within contemporary society and its impact on Vietnamese society.
——【·The development process of Vietnamese filial piety culture】——
The development of Vietnamese filial piety culture has gone through a long historical process, and during the Xia Dynasty, there was already a traditional culture of respecting filial piety and respecting the elderly. At that time, people believed that honoring one's parents was the basic morality and the duty of filial piety.
From the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chinese culture began to be introduced to Vietnam. The culture of filial piety has become an important part of traditional culture. Vietnam's Confucianism and Confucius also had a great influence on filial piety culture.
During the Great Yue period, filial piety culture gradually became the country's legal system, and Confucianism was well developed and inherited.
The various cultures that prevailed in Vietnam at different times also influenced the development of filial piety culture to varying degrees. For example, during the Li Yuan Dynasty, the filial piety festival arose, and people transformed the filial piety culture into a festival celebration.
With the development of modernization, some traditional cultures have been challenged. Despite this, the Vietnamese still attach great importance to the culture of filial piety and pass it on to the next generation.
Vietnamese filial piety culture has undergone a long historical development process, through the absorption of various traditional cultures and the changes of the times, and has been continuously passed on and developed, and still has a far-reaching influence in modern society.
——【·The importance of Vietnamese filial piety culture·】——
Vietnamese filial piety culture is extremely important in Vietnamese society. The Vietnamese family is the basic unit of society, and harmony, mutual assistance and care within the family play an important role in the stability and harmony of the whole society.
Parents and family elders are people who are regarded as worthy of respect in Vietnamese culture, and honoring parents and elders is regarded as a virtue and traditional moral code. Not only do parents and elders have responsibilities and obligations to their children, but in turn children also have the obligation to repay everything their parents have done.
Vietnamese filial piety culture plays a key role in family inheritance and social stability. Vietnamese filial piety culture is a widely recognized and consistently valid traditional family value and ethic.
By passing on this value from a young family, Vietnamese culture has managed to maintain a stable social order for centuries.
Vietnamese filial piety culture is an indispensable part of the spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It not only represents the traditional virtues of the Vietnamese nation, but also is one of the expressions of Vietnamese culture.
This culture not only helps to strengthen family ties and social interaction, but also plays an important role in promoting the physical and mental health of individuals and improving the quality of life. Therefore, Vietnamese filial piety culture has a positive impact on the development of families and society, and it can also bring spiritual satisfaction and growth to individuals.
——【·Specific Cases of Vietnamese Filial Piety Culture】——
Nguyen Van Thanh is a Vietnamese educator and father who pays attention to filial piety education in family education, influencing children with his words and deeds to make them know how to honor their parents and elders. His six sons and daughters have achieved outstanding results in various fields, most notably as a distinguished lawyer and a scientist who became an academician in the United States.
The Le sisters are a well-known case in Vietnam who, after their mother's death, did not forget her mother's teachings and crawled eight kilometers to send her mother to the earth. The story became widely spread in Vietnam and became a symbol of filial piety.
These personal cases show the great importance that Vietnamese people attach to the culture of filial piety, and they interpret the true meaning of filial piety with their actions, words and deeds.
——【·Specific manifestations of Vietnamese filial piety culture】——
Filial piety to elders is the most basic and core expression of Vietnamese filial piety culture. Children should know how to respect and respect their parents and elders. This includes performance in various aspects, such as words and actions. They follow the arrangements of their parents and elders, help them solve problems as much as possible, and respect their views and decisions.

The Vietnamese believe that the family is the basic unit of society, and harmony and mutual care between family members are very important. In Vietnamese filial piety culture, children must make efforts for the better development of the family, and children must respect the decisions of their elders.
The parenting grace of parents for their children cannot be calculated. Vietnamese filial piety culture encourages children to repay their parents' nurturing grace with their own actions. Such action includes not only material rewards, but also spiritual support and affection, as well as care in daily life.
In traditional Vietnamese families, family inheritance is a very important aspect. Vietnamese filial piety culture encourages children to value family traditions, especially reverence for elders and parents. By respecting and learning from family traditions, children maintain and pass on family culture.
These aspects are only some of the manifestations of Vietnamese filial piety culture, and they are reflected in all aspects of Vietnamese society. Observing the Vietnamese filial piety culture is not only a moral requirement, but also an important factor in the stability and harmony of Vietnamese society.
