The idea of filial piety is an important part of Confucianism."Filial piety" is seen from the original character and meaning in the oracle inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty.From the character of "filial piety" in the oracle bone inscriptions,it can be seen that the "son" is held up and the downward movement,that is,the meaning of "son respecting the old",has developed into the national mainstream consciousness,and has experienced the belief,ethics,family ethics and politics from sacrificial ancestors to politics.The evolution of ethics.The idea of filial piety represented by Confucius in the pre Qin period was based on warm and natural feelings,and put forward "filial piety as the foundation of benevolence"."Filial piety" is the beginning of education.The essence of "filial piety" is "benevolence","respect" and "rite".Confucian "filial piety" also contains a sense of "tracing the essence of life" through "caution and ultimate pursuit".The implementation of Confucius' s "filial piety" is reflected in all the filial piety which conforms to the "rite",namely,"life and death,the gift of affairs","nourishing,respecting,CIS,and free",and Confucius' s "filial piety" thought in the scope of "country" as "loyalty" to the monarchs and the "filial piety" advocated by the politicians.In the middle.At the same time,"benevolence" is the core content of Confucius' s theory.The key to "benevolence" running through heaven and human lies in "filial piety".This is to treat parents kindheartedness and push them out to treat others with benevolence.It can be seen that Confucius begins with "filial piety" and pushes it from layer to layer until he pushes it into all life in nature.This reflects the idea of "relatives,benevolence and love" advocated by Confucianism.While emphasizing the "filial piety for benevolence",the Confucianists pay special attention to the distinction between the internal and external,public and private fields on the realistic level,and we can see that the combination of these two aspects is of great significance to contemporary China.
