Chapter 23: Filial Piety First (2)

Ling 023) sure that the younger generation has new ideas, and sighs that the teenager is not ordinary

Immediately, a student in charge of equipment management took the initiative to jump on the podium, pushed open the double-layered overlapping writing board, exposed the projection of the white screen, and skillfully turned on the multimedia computer, and used the ready-made small program in it to edit a software voting machine, generate a QR code, and send it to the large group of the class, and at the same time projected it, each student can vote online with a mobile phone to facilitate the final calculation.

The projection screen also shows the bar chart of the real-time voting data of these seven students, as well as the final statistical voting results, which is very fast and intuitive.

Professor Meng watched the children's active participation and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: if he doesn't understand modern technology, he will really be eliminated. It seems that this Chinese culture course also needs to adapt to the development of the trend. The content of the book can be the same, but the form needs to be improved.

After a while, the conditions for the polling line were ready, and the seven students went up one by one to read or speak their papers, and the classroom was quiet again, and everyone was listening intently, combining their own experience and cognition, and selecting the best three articles.

No. 1 Yan Xinmei's argument is: filial piety comes first, and filial piety is the starting point of morality. A kind person, starting from filial piety, can affect others and all things who are not related by blood. The old and the old, the young and the young, love to the world. For example, we love small animals, adopt or treat wandering cats and Wang Xingren kindly, and respect every living being, all living beings are equal, and there is no high or low. Giving care and warmth for the destination without seeking anything in return is to pass on the heart of love and sow the seeds of kindness. If everyone can be like this, treat all things kindly, and care for the surroundings, why worry about social disharmony? Therefore, doing good deeds should start with filial piety, as the saying goes: filial piety comes first, and doing good deeds starts with filial piety.

No. 2 Tan Ouyang's argument is that filial piety is the most basic moral responsibility of those who are born as sons of man. If even the parents who gave birth to themselves do not know how to be respectful and filial, then pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks are not as good, where is there conscience and kindness? Not to mention how to be kind to others who have nothing to do with you. In the same way, if you don't even know how to be grateful to your homeland and motherland where you raised you, then what morality and conscience are you talking about? Some people blindly flatter others, envy the benefits of others, and do not understand or look down on their own strengths. No country can afford to look down on a person who has no roots of his own, who can despise even his own culture, history and ethnicity, who will respect you and your country? It's like a person who betrays his family, without the support of his parents, most of them will pity you, and the most they can give is sympathy and pity, not appreciation and respect.

Such a person is like a rootless duckweed, no matter where he goes, he will not get a sense of belonging, and he is destined to have no strong self-confidence support. Therefore, "filial piety" is the foundation of the world, and it is also the foundation of self-esteem, self-love, self-confidence and self-improvement.

Loving the country comes from loving the family, loving the family comes from loving the parents, and loving the parents comes from gratitude, warmth and kindness. Therefore, only with true love can there be perfection, and only with perfection can there be great filial piety, and only then can there be the truest, strongest and most complete self.

No. 3 Bai does not understand the point of view: filial piety is not superficially respectful, nor is it willing to spend money, but sincerely for the sake of the elderly, let the elders go as they wish, do not go against the wishes of their parents, and let the old people spend their old age in peace. Although their practices and concepts may not all be right, and may not all be accepted by our young people, they can be understood and tolerated, and handled properly in a roundabout way, so that they can be satisfied in the end.

From the perspective of the elders, we should not regard having children as a guarantee for our future interests or a tool to honor our ancestors. If you originally just wanted to "raise children and prevent old age", don't stand on the moral high ground and condescendingly shout how great mother's love is.

The reason why "mother's love" is great is that she did not ask for anything in return at the beginning, and gave selflessly, which benefited mankind as a result. The result of this love is to multiply for humanity, to educate talents for the country, and to create a future for society, which is its greatness.

But in reality, there are often parents: parents who are born but not raised, raised but not raised, and raised but not ladylike, have not fulfilled their due duties, and they still have to wield the stick of filial piety and require their children to be filial, is it too one-sided. Mother's filial piety is the inevitable result of proper education, and if the education is successful, the child will know how to fulfill filial piety, which is a natural thing, not forced by moral kidnapping and social pressure.

Honoring elders is a responsibility and obligation, and raising children is also a responsibility and obligation, both are the same, who is higher than others? Moreover, not every parent has the same understanding of true love and education as we praise, and has a mature and correct understanding. If you have a problem with your three views, how can you expect to educate a child who knows how to be filial?

There are also some parents who are unloving but lawless, arrogant and doting, replacing education with money, and creating unfilial sons with their own hands. There are also some people who do not care and do not understand education, they are only physically qualified and psychologically immature, and their minds are still very naïve, so their own parents have their own personality is disabled, how to talk about educating children? Most of them only cause emotional damage to the family of origin.

But the elders who are derelict in their duties also require their children to be filial, otherwise you are not good, is it a little unreasonable?

True filial piety as I understand it should be: not to repay oneself, but to benefit others. Nurturing is to reproduce offspring for society, to recuperate for the nation, and to seek the welfare of all sentient beings. True filial piety is due diligence to parents and relatives, as well as to society.

Only parents and elders with correct views can educate filial sons and grandchildren who are truly full of goodwill, and can get: true filial piety. And this kind of filial piety is completely from the heart, without external coercion and pressure, this is the "great filial piety", is the "supreme good"!

No. 4 Du Tianchun's argument is: filial piety is the first of all virtues, and there is no objection. But what is filial piety? The criteria for judging are vague. For example, the word filial piety is often understood as filial piety, and even focuses on "shun", while I personally think that filial piety is: filial piety. Because children understand the hardships of being parents, they will be respectful, and they will sincerely fulfill their filial piety to show respect, be full of gratitude, and repay the affection of their elders for their upbringing. And many parents believe that if their children are disobedient, they are unfilial. Sensible children must first be obedient.

"There are no parents in the world who are not", because of this sentence, no matter whether the parents are right or wrong, children must obey orders, and only obey orders can be regarded as filial piety. However, most of the parents in the world are not sages, that is, some ordinary people, who are ordinary people, how can there be no problems? Even if it is well-intentioned, there is no guarantee that the result of every thing you do will be correct and error-free, right? Then asking children to be unconditionally obedient and obedient is to deprive them of the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and become puppets, which is very cruel.

As a result, the pressure caused by "obedience" will either make the child lose his independent thinking and judgment and become an obedient mother; Either they will be suppressed for their own thinking and creativity, until they finally sink or rebel.

We all know that "doting" is likely to ruin the child, but isn't that original intention also out of good intentions? "We're all for your good!" This is the most common remark, but both sides are helpless. Good intentions don't necessarily have the results you expect, and they often backfire and backfire. So there's nothing wrong with being nice, the problem is in your approach. Improper education methods may not get you the results you want in the first place.

"Good intentions" is not an excuse for educational failure, nor is it a reason to ask children to be obedient, let alone obey the instructions of parents as a standard for judging whether children are filial. Once the judgment of "filial piety" is not accurate, let alone judge whether it is good or not.

However, whether it is "filial piety" or "filial piety", there is a set of moral standards to measure, but the standards are different, and the results of the judgment will be very different. For example, our country has a vast territory, which is simply divided into east, west, north, south, and middle, not to mention the details, let's talk about the difference between north and south.

The concept of the northern ethnic groups is: parents are here, not far away.

The southern view is: children who stay at home are not productive. A good man, ambitious in all directions.

Therefore, most of the people left behind in the south to cultivate the land in their hometowns are old, weak, sick and disabled, and most of them are women, children, and the elderly. Especially in Hainan, Guangzhou, and coastal areas. Young and middle-aged, basically either to the east or to the west, in the old days to the South Seas, in the modern north to Guangzhou. In short, just like the fox family, parents kick out their adult children so that they can learn to be self-reliant. Although it can be a little cruel, it is a custom, but also a love, and take pride in it. As a result, southerners are well-informed, business-savvy, and wealthier. When the children and grandchildren return to their hometowns in batches and return to their hometowns, it is the children who are the most filial to the ancestors of the clan family.

For a long time, the north has been the center of political culture and the core of management, and the concept of staying at home is more deep-rooted. From the perspective of governing the country, the Qi family governing the country and leveling the world seems to need more for the subjects and the people: stability, perseverance and loyalty, so the elders prefer to keep their children and grandchildren by their side, watching the children and grandchildren around their knees, and the four generations in the same house, in order to show that the family is prosperous, rich and auspicious.

This is caused by the difference in regional culture, there is no good or bad, I just want to explain: the standard of filial piety itself is different, so judging whether a person is "filial piety" is not a simple and intuitive thing, must be inseparable from the background of their survival.

When it comes to the roots, Shun is an important heritage of ancient civilization and traditional education, which is deeply rooted in people's hearts and integrated into their bones and blood.

"Shun" is the essence of Confucianism, which is deeply loved by the royal family and revered the concept of millennia. Father and son are like kings and ministers, and obedience is easy to manage. The emperor hopes that his courtiers will be obedient, and the father hopes that his children will be obedient, which is nothing more than to facilitate his own domination, jurisdiction and control, which has little to do with filial piety and kindness, and has been reduced to a kind of moral shackles and a tool to imprison others. Therefore, my point of view is actually very simple: filial piety is filial piety, not obedient or unobedient, filial piety is gratitude and respect, filial piety of mothers and children, and submission of gentlemen are all natural things, and there is no need to bundle "goodness" together with forced marketing.

Deviating from the core of respect, love, convincing, and voluntariness to talk about filial piety is to use the topic to play a gadfly (sorry, Professor Meng!). I'm just about things and not about people, and I don't accuse you of choosing a topic). Either it will cultivate a group of slaves who obey orders, rather than talents; Either it is to educate a group of pseudo-filial sons who are yang and yin, sanctimonious, and duplicitous.

Having children is a major social responsibility as a citizen, not a mistake and helplessness after a moment of happiness, let alone a reserve of a high-performing blue chip stock for yourself early, waiting for old age to eat dividends and interest, and rely on it in the future. Such an outdated and outdated educational concept, no matter how beautified it is, is nothing more than a "private" word background.

If you are still selfish, why do you have to be filial to your children? How can we educate filial sons who truly know how to be kind and grateful? Therefore, I think: filial piety is the first, and filial piety may not be obedient. Thank you!
