"Filial piety first"
Guo Chenhong
It was early summer. Although the weather was not very hot, I was already sweating profusely when I worked in the scorching sun. At this time, my little daughter who came home from school asked me, "Dad, are you hot?" I said, "It's hot!" My little daughter ran out, bought an ice cream, and handed it to my mouth, saying, "Dad, eat it."
I said, "I won't eat it, you can eat it." The little daughter said, "I won't eat it, this is what I bought for you, it's so hot..." Hearing this, I was unconsciously moved by my daughter's filial piety. Although her filial piety is small, it is like a trickle of water flowing into my heart, refreshing and comfortable, and I feel that this daughter is not raised in vain.
Also, since their daughters went to school, every time they Father's Day , Mother's Day or my birthday, my wife's birthday, my younger daughter and her sister who are one year older than her use the pocket money they saved to buy me and my wife a small gift. The seeds of melon are not big, but they are human. My wife and I were very happy and happy.
filial piety
Later, my wife and I kept saying, "Don't spend money on buying things in the future. We just need to know that you have this kind of heart." This is right, Mother's Day is coming again, and my little daughter told me, saying, "Dad, I'll tell you a secret, but you are not allowed to tell your mother." I said, "Okay." She said, "Mother's Day is coming soon. Don't you let us buy things? We plan to wash our mother's feet and give her a massage. She is also very tired from working every day." When I heard this, I was a little moved.
Although her daughter is only ten years old and still young, she doesn’t understand what filial piety is, in my opinion, she has cultivated the awareness of loving and caring for her parents in her heart. Although her consciousness is in its infancy, it will definitely grow bigger and taller in the future, and finally become a towering tree, a great filial piety and great love. Before I realized it, I felt extremely relieved and my eyes were filled with infinite light.
New Twenty-Four Filial Piety
Speaking of filial piety, there are in ancient times, in the Han Dynasty "Taste the Decoction and Medicine with Yourself", Dong Yong "Selling Your Body to Bury Your Father", Cai Shun "Picking Millions to Offer Your Parents", Huang Xiang "Flowering the Cloves", and Hebei Bangzi drama "Cutting the Flesh" and so on. Many stories that are moving around the world are overwhelming and are passed down to this day.
We also have many typical examples in modern times. For example, Meng Peijie, one of the top ten Chinese figures, took care of her ill adoptive mother for twelve years. When her foster mother was seriously ill, in order to cooperate with the doctor's treatment and get rid of her foster mother as soon as possible, she helped her foster mother do sit-ups, massages, etc. every day. When her foster mother had difficulty defecating, she helped her foster mother defecated. Later, after she was admitted to university, she took her to college with her to take care of her foster mother who had no ability to live.
For example, the top ten Chinese figures Chen Binqiang , every day, in order to personally take care of his mother who suffered from Alzheimer's disease , he tied his mother to his body with a strip of cloth and rode an electric bike to work for more than 30 kilometers. It took five consecutive years without any resistance.
There are also the top ten people who touched Hebei, nine-year-old Xu Huan, who not only takes care of his paralyzed mother, but also takes care of his sick father, and supports his stormy home with his ignorant filial piety. etc. These examples are touching, popular and highly praised by people.
Filial piety to the elders
Filial piety is the first of all things. An old saying goes, filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. Therefore, as a person, you must first respect your parents. If you are not filial to your parents, you will not raise them and die. Even if you do good things in your life, and do good things in a train or an airplane, you cannot truly call them good, because others will think that you are doing a show and have other intentions.
No one is willing to become real friends with you, and no one dares to do business with you. Because you have never had the slightest repaid or gratefulness to your parents who gave birth to you and raised you, and can be ruthless and emotional, and turn against each other, let alone friends. From then on, you will live in the shadow of unfilial piety all day long.Walking on the street, there seems to be someone poking your backbone behind you.
Filial piety is not formalism, it is the gratitude and reward for the parents' love of giving birth, nurturing and teaching from the bottom of their hearts, not for others to see.
It is not true filial piety to just talk about filial piety all day without being grateful to your parents in your heart and not giving it to your reward. Just writing a blank check is not true filial piety. Also, when your parents are strong and can help you work, you see that your parents are parents, but when your parents are old and unable to do it, it is a burden and when your parents need to take care of them, you avoid it, or you ignore it, or you are bored and disgusted, that is not true filial piety.
filial piety is the first
old parents
Not to mention, some people who have completely lost their human nature and simply ignore it. Such people cannot be called human beings, they are even worse than beasts. To put it bluntly, we have a pig or a dog at home, and we still know how to feed it? What's more, our parents and our parents.
Sheep, does it have the love of kneeling down and crows, and does it have the meaning of feeding back? What's more, we humans should be grateful, repay our parents, and be filial to them.
Filial piety is the virtue of our Chinese nation, the foundation of our human beings, and the core of our morality. The Analects of Confucius says, "A gentleman is committed to the foundation, and the foundation is established and the way is born. Filial piety and brothers are the foundation of benevolence." It can be seen that filial piety and respect for parents and obeying brothers are also a fundamental requirement for us to be a human being. If our parents go, we "want to raise our son but our parents are not here", it will be too late for us to regret it. Even if you cry and call your father and mother to your parents’ grave, it will be useless. This is the greatest sorrow in life.
Now, why don’t we take advantage of our parents’ life? Let’s take advantage of our chances to respect our parents and support our parents so that we can feel at ease in the future, let people praise us, and let future generations pass on us. This is our blessing and our fortune.
Friends, filial piety is the first priority for all virtues, and filial piety is the first priority for all things to do. When we drive, travel around the country, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the motherland with great enthusiasm, when we have dinner at a restaurant, eat delicacies, taste famous brand wine, and smoke famous foreign cigarettes, when we sing with our friends, the karaoke hall is as cool as spring, and the sun is scorching outside, have we ever thought of our father and mother who are working hard in the scorching sun, bent over and hunched their backs, sweat beads dripping into the soil...
