The culture of filial piety in traditional Chinese culture: it has a long history, state intervention, and continues from generation to generation.
Chinese society is experiencing rapid development of global population aging, a trend that has attracted great attention from the United Nations and other international organizations. In order to cope with the challenges of aging, China has strengthened its attention to the social security system, especially in 2016, when the general secretary of the country put forward the call for the construction of a long-term care security system, the elderly service and long-term care into the social security system, has become an important part of the system construction.
Since ancient times, China has had a fine tradition of respecting, respecting and loving the elderly. In this historical context, how do we view the relationship between traditional culture and international consensus?In this context, this paper will interview Tang Jun, a researcher at the Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, on the influence of traditional culture on social policy design.
Researcher Tang Jun explained the origin and meaning of the word "filial piety". According to the ancient classics, the Erya emphasizes that "good parents are filial piety", while the Shuowen Jie Zi defines filial piety as "those who do good deeds". The essence of filial piety is not only to undertake, to undertake, but also to undertake and inherit. This reflects the pictographic meaning of the children inheriting the elders and multiplying.
Historically, the culture of filial piety has a long tradition in China. Beginning with the "Guanzi" more than 600 years BC, the concept of filial piety culture has gradually evolved into the national policy system on the support of the elderly. The "old age" policy proposed by Guan Zhong laid the foundation for the system of later generations by setting up officials in charge of the affairs of the elderly and stipulating the treatment of the elderly of different ages.
Researcher Tang Jun pointed out that the idea of elderly care in traditional Chinese culture has four characteristics: long history, state intervention, inheritance from generation to generation, and a mixture of good and bad. These characteristics have had a profound impact on Chinese social policy, especially in the context of an agrarian society, and the close integration of the state intervention system and the family provides a path for the practice of filial piety culture.
In modern times, the culture of filial piety has experienced three shocks. The first shock was the May Fourth Movement in 1919, which marked the beginning of a rejection of traditional ideas. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the culture of filial piety still existed in rural areas and social policies, continuing state intervention in the elderly. After the reform and opening up, the collapse of the agricultural society led to changes in the family structure and labor force, and the culture of filial piety faced a second impact. In the new century, the establishment of the social security system has made the state directly confront the individual, which has constituted a third impact on the culture of filial piety.
Under the three impacts, the culture of filial piety has changed. Changes in family structure, the rise of migrant workers, and the establishment of a social security system have challenged the traditional model of family support. From politicization to economy, filial piety culture is facing new challenges in modern society.
The culture of filial piety in traditional Chinese culture has carried the country's institutional genes on elderly care in a long history. However, with the changes in society, the culture of filial piety is facing new challenges. Under the wave of global population aging, Chinese society needs more flexible and innovative social policies to better cope with the challenges brought by aging.
Elderly Care and Chinese Traditional Culture" profoundly explores the development process of traditional Chinese filial piety culture and its impact on social policy in the context of global population aging. This topic involves multiple aspects such as culture, history, and policy, and is thought-provoking.
First of all, by analyzing the origin and meaning of the word "filial piety", this paper summarizes its essence as undertaking, undertaking, undertaking and inheriting, highlighting the importance of filial piety culture for family inheritance and continuous growth. This profound cultural tradition, as the spiritual pillar of Chinese society, influences people's understanding of family, relationships and responsibilities, and forms a fine tradition of "respecting, respecting and loving the elderly".
Secondly, this paper makes a detailed analysis of the ideas and systems of elderly care in traditional culture. From the teachings of Guanzi and Confucius to the evolution of the system in the past dynasties, it can be seen that the state has been trying to create a feasible system, and through state intervention, it is necessary to exempt the family from forced labor and give wine and meat to promote the actual implementation of elderly care. This combination of state intervention and family responsibility provides an institutional guarantee for the practice of filial piety.
However, the article also mentions the three shocks that filial piety culture has faced in modern times. The May Fourth Movement repudiated traditional ideas, changes in the social structure challenged the model of family support, and the establishment of a social security system made the state directly confronted individuals. These three shocks led to the transformation of filial piety culture, from politicization to economy, from family-centered to state-centered, and the culture of filial piety was gradually re-examined and understood.
In my opinion, this article provides a comprehensive analysis of the culture of filial piety from multiple perspectives, highlighting its profound impact on social policy. The transformation of traditional culture in modern society is inevitable, and the problem of global population aging urgently needs new policies and concepts to face. Through the historical review of filial piety culture, this paper enables us to better understand the evolution process of China's social policy, and triggers the thinking of future social policies to cope with aging.
Overall, this article is both academic and close to social reality, providing us with a comprehensive understanding of filial piety culture and a perspective to think about the issue of elderly care. In modern society, the balance between traditional culture and international consensus, and how to maintain and inherit the essence of traditional culture in the new social context, is a topic worthy of in-depth consideration.
