The prostitute is to judge a person's character by his behavior. Here, "lewdness" refers to desire, that is, people's inner desires when faced with beauty, money, power, etc. Different people react differently to these desires, and some people simply have desires in their hearts and do not take drastic actions. However, some people do unscrupulous things in order to satisfy their desires. Thus, the prostitute theory tells us that people's desires are normal, but to judge a person as good or bad, one only needs to observe his reaction to desires. If he just stays at the level of ideas and does not put them into action, then he can be seen as a good person; On the contrary, if he satisfies his desires through illegal means, then he is a bad person.
There are many examples of the story of the prostitute who talked about things, and there are many examples of it in ancient literature. For example,Cao Xueqinof ".Dream of Red Mansions".Jia Baoyu, He has a strong desire for beauty, but he does not deviate from his principles in order to satisfy his desires, he maintains his deep affection for Daiyu, and he also has his own principles for other women. Such behavior shows his character and makes him establish an image of a good person in the minds of readers. And on the contrary,Li Ruzhenof ".Mirror flower edgeXimen Qing in ", because his desire is far greater than ordinary people, in order to get the woman he likes, he does not hesitate to do all kinds of hurtful things. His actions make him a thoroughly bad guy, triggering a tragic ending.
The principle of the prostitute is also permeated in real life. For example, if a person is faced with money, he can choose to obtain wealth through honest labor or through improper means. Honest people will stick to their principles and realize their dreams of wealth through the right channels; And those who will do anything for the sake of money, will do all sorts of thingsEthicsCorrupt things. By observing how a person responds to desires and behaves, we can clearly see his character and natureEthicsCriterion.
Filial piety means judging whether a person is filial or not through his heart. Although the word filial piety originally referred to a person who honors his parents, in real life, everyone's economic conditions and circumstances are different. Some people are able to provide material prosperity and comfort for their parents because of their better financial means. And some people are unable to provide their parents with too much wealth because of limited conditions, and even cannot be by their side often because of work. However, this does not mean that the latter is devoid of filial piety. Filial piety is not only reflected in the material, but also in the gratitude and care for the parents.
A truly filial person, regardless of economic conditions, will always be grateful. They will do their best to spend time with their parents, take the time to greet them, or try their best to create a safe and comfortable living environment for them. They can always think of the good of their parents, no matter where and when, their hearts are always pretending to be their parents. Such people truly have filial piety.
The principle of filial piety can be illustrated from many real-life cases. For example, there are many children around us who are unable to accompany their parents often due to busy work or other reasons, but they express their concern and love for their parents in other ways, such as making regular calls or sending gifts, in order to express their thoughts and care for their parents. Such an act shows their filial piety and is understood and appreciated by their parents. On the contrary, although some children give a lot to their parents materially, they lack gratitude and care for their parents, and even treat their parents coldly. Although such a person is materially filial to his parents, he actually has no real filial piety.
In our family, we can judge the filial piety of our family members by observing their behavior and attitudes. Whether it is material filial piety or behavioral care, it is the embodiment of filial piety. Only when we always uphold the sincerity of gratitude and care for our parents in our hearts, can we be said to be a true filial son.

Filial piety, as one of the core values of the Chinese nation, has always been regarded as a concrete manifestation of filial piety to parents. However, filial piety is not only reflected in the material, but also in the gratitude and care for the parents in the heart. This kind of gratitude and care is what parents want to see in return the most in their lives. Because of this, filial piety is constantly promoted and passed on.
Through the proverbial saying "the adulterous judge the matter, the filial person discusses the heart", we can not only judge others, but also reflect on ourselves.
