During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Guo Ju, whose family was poor, but very filial. He has an elderly mother and a young son. Because of financial constraints, Guo Ju felt that he could not support his mother and raise his son at the same time, so he decided to sacrifice his son to save food rations to better support his mother. When he was digging a pit in the ground to bury his son, a miracle happened, and suddenly a jar of gold appeared in the ground, and there was a text on it stating that this was God's reward for his filial piety, so that he could fulfill his filial piety without having to sacrifice his son.
This is the story of "Guo Ju'er Burying" in "Twenty-Four Filial Pieties", and although this story may seem ethical controversial in modern times, it was used in ancient times to emphasize the importance of filial piety and inheritance.
As the saying goes: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great." "In traditional Chinese culture, full children and grandchildren and filial piety are the old age that everyone yearns for. Today, let's talk about the five "lucky ones" who are most likely to enjoy the blessings of their children in their later years.

Children thrive in such a harmonious and loving family atmosphere, just like seedlings get plenty of sunshine and rain, and it is naturally easier for them to become talents. This is reminiscent of the saying that has been passed down through the ages: "Home and everything prospers".

For example, in the story of "Meng's mother's three moves", Meng's mother moved repeatedly for the growth of Mencius, just to find an environment conducive to the growth of children. Isn't this a pursuit of family harmony? It is this desire and pursuit of a harmonious family that made Mencius, a Confucian master, a master.

He set a good example for his children by leading by example. Under his teaching, his son Fan Chunren also became a famous minister, and both father and son were important ministers of the court, and it was passed down as a good story.
