Recently, the hot event that has received widespread attention from the society is the incident of Ma Moumou, a man in Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, burying his biological mother alive.
According to reports, at 8 p.m. on May 2, Ma Moumou pulled his 79-year-old mother, who was paralyzed in bed, to an abandoned grave with a trolley and buried alive, violating the bottom line of human society, and was rejudged by the judiciary and sentenced to 12 years in the first instance.
It is hard to imagine such appalling events in today's extremely developed material civilization, and it would not be too much to say that this man did not talk about filial piety to the extreme.
If time can be turned back, we find that there is really a precedent for such incidents to follow, and in the Han and Tang Dynasties there were incidents of using the so-called filial piety for their own profit.
The "Asano Youzai" records a story of filial piety Guo Chun crying for his mother.
Donghai Xiaozi Guo Chun lost his mother, and every time he cried, he gathered a large group. Make the inspection real, the table door lu. After the news, it is the filial son who cries, that is, he scatters bread on the ground, and the crowds of people fight for food. The following numbers are like this, and the crows think that the degree is not to compete, not to have a spirit.
The East Sea here is a place name, referring to Donghae County, in ancient times, only the name was written out, and the county and county were omitted.
There was a filial son named Guo Chun in Donghae County, and his mother died. Every time Guo Chun cried bitterly because he missed his mother, many crows gathered over his family courtyard.
After investigating the local magistrate, The Assassin Found That This was indeed the case, so the government set up a memorial arch for this filial son to honor his people.
Jingbiao means commendation, which refers to the official government erecting a plaque for those who are loyal to filial piety and righteousness to show recognition.
The gate generally refers to the city gate and the inner gate, which refers to the large family of Guo Chun.
Originally a typical society that talks about filial piety, the plot begins to reverse, which is surprising.
Later, I got the news that before every time the filial son cried bitterly, he would spread bread on the ground in the courtyard, and flocks of crows would compete for food.
After doing this many times in the future, the crow heard the cry and thought that there was a cake to eat, and there was no one who rushed to come, not that the crow was spiritual and moved by filial piety.
Obviously, the focus of this story is to attack Guo Chun's false filial piety. Ma Moumou buried his mother alive is really not filial piety, Guo Chun is pretending to be filial piety, there is no essential difference between the two.
The story does not end here, if we want to truly understand why Guo Chun pretends to be filial piety, we must understand the historical system of filial piety.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, officials were selected not through examinations, but through local recommendation.
According to a certain proportion of the population, the county recommended local people with filial piety and honesty to the imperial court, so filial piety and high popularity of honesty were a way to become officials.
Because of this, some people begin to package themselves in various ways as filial children, incorruptible scholars.
Guo Chun also pretended to be filial to get benefits from the government. As this kind of crooked wind intensifies, all kinds of strange things have emerged in an endless stream, and one song vividly reflects this social reality.
Show talent, don't know the book. Filial piety, fathers do not dwell.
Han Su is as white as mud, and Gaudilian will be timid as a chicken.
In the later stages of the implementation of the system of filial piety and honesty, some people, in order to desperately compare the degree of filial piety, actually resorted to the cruel trick of cutting their own flesh to honor their parents; some people, in order to show their incorruptibility, cheated and cheated, and wore rotten clothes in front of people and wore fine clothes and food after people.
A well-known example of filial piety. After the death of his parents, a scholar named Zhao Xuan moved to live in the cemetery, and lived for more than 20 years, becoming a world-famous "great filial piety".
The local government scrambled to ask him to come out and become an official. Later, it was found that he had given birth to five children in the cemetery and had several concubines.
Filial piety should have been born from the heart, and filial piety to parents for children is natural, so it is not an exaggeration to say that some people say that their birthday is the mother's good friday.
If even the purest family affection in the world is bound by fame and fortune, what is the difference between it and the beast?
