There is a well-known Chinese saying: "Filial piety comes first". This sentence is not only a proverb, but also represents the importance of filial piety in traditional Chinese culture. When many people face the hardships and tribulations of life, they begin to think about whether they have fulfilled their filial piety to their parents, whether they are taking care of their elderly parents, and so on. Filial piety is not only a tradition, but also an act, but what kind of changes has it brought us? Let's find out.
Filial piety is repeatedly discussed among people and is described in detail in literature, which is moving. But what is true filial piety? I believe that actions and reality are more important than words.
There is a saying in traditional Chinese culture: "There are elders in the family, if the family has treasures, honor your parents at home, and burn less incense when you go out." These words tell us the importance of respecting and being filial to our parents. The traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. But in reality, some young people don't listen to these words and don't take their parents seriously.
Some people would rather spend energy on raising kittens and puppies than spend a dime on their parents. I'd rather go out and burn incense and worship Buddha hypocritically than really care about my parents' lives. They preferred to live alone, but he lived in luxury, refusing to buy simple clothes from his parents. Some even complain that their parents lack any valuable heritage to help them achieve great success at work and in life.
However, many people who are truly filial to their parents are kind and capable. They benefit from filial piety, so life and work usually go smoothly. A true story illustrates this.
A long time ago, I had a boss who lost his father when he was young and his mother went through a lot of hard work to raise him. Since his debut, he has always considered his mother to be the most important person in his life. Even when he first started his business, he insisted on having his mother by his side to take care of him. His mother also took great care of him, providing him with clothes every day and making sure he was safe when he went out. This self-evident understanding and love between mother and son is the reason for the success of his career.
Once, when he was discussing work with another boss, his mother called** and he interrupted the meeting to apologize to the other boss. When the other party's boss learned that his mother was 86 years old, he thought that such a filial person was trustworthy and immediately decided to cooperate.
This story tells us that filial piety and filial piety will bring blessings. Good is rewarded for good, evil is rewarded for evil, and our actions ultimately determine our fate. Therefore, respecting parents is something that everyone should do, regardless of their status. When you are filial to your parents, your life will become smoother and your destiny will change little by little.
The Spring Festival is coming. Let's start with filial piety, start from the heart, and welcome a new life. Let us treat our parents with gratitude, prove our filial piety with actions, and make our lives better!
