In traditional Chinese culture, the concept of "unfilial piety has three, and no queen is greater" has always occupied an important position. However, as times have changed, this notion seems to be fading. So, what exactly is causing this change?

First of all, with the development of society, people's values and family concepts have changed dramatically. In the past, the family was the basic unit of society, and having children was considered the duty of every family. However, in modern society, people's values are becoming more and more diverse, and many young people pay more attention to personal freedom and career development, and gradually question the traditional concept of family.

Secondly, with the intensification of the aging of the population, the issue of old-age care has gradually become the focus of social attention. In the past, children were the main support for the elderly, but in modern society, many young people have to stay away from home for their careers and lives, resulting in many elderly people facing the dilemma of having no support for the elderly. In this context, pension institutions and community pension have gradually become a trend, and people have begun to seek more diversified ways to care for the elderly.

In addition, with the exchange and integration of cultures, the awareness of the concept of "unfilial piety is three, and no queen is great" is gradually decreasing among the younger generation. Many young people are more focused on personal freedom and independence, believing that having children is not a necessary task in life. At the same time, with the acceleration of globalization, exchanges between different cultures have become more frequent, and people have begun to recognize the differences in the concept of family between different cultures.

To sum up, the gradual dilution of the concept of "unfilial piety is three, and no queen is greater" is the result of a combination of factors. With the progress of society and cultural exchanges, we should look at this change more rationally, respect everyone's choices and rights, and at the same time pay attention to the pension of the elderly, and promote social progress and development.
