Chapter 31: On "Filial Piety"

What if the Father is unkind?

It has always been said that the father is kind to the son and the son is filial, and the son should be filial piety and serve his parents. However, few people say that if parents are unkind, what should children do?

In later generations, it is clearly recorded in the "Yan Family Motto" that if the father is not kind, the son can not be filial.

In the chapter of "Mozi" and Love, it is said that if father and son do not love each other, they are not filial piety.

This time and space is not a historical time and space that Shen Yun is familiar with, but there are also hundreds of schools of thought contending here, including Confucianism, Moism, soldiers, and Legalism. Hundreds of sages have also existed, and the articles they wrote have never been lost, and all of them have been passed on to future generations.

Of course, at this time, Yan Zhitui's "Yan's Family Motto" has not yet come out.

"You girl has already been admitted to Grandpa Qu!"

Old Man Qu smiled and said, "That's what Mozi and Aizhang said!" ”

Zi Mozi said: "The reason why benevolent people do things is that they will benefit the world, get rid of the harm of the world, and do things for themselves." ”

But what is the benefit of the world? What's the harm in the world?

Zi Mozi said: "Today, if the country attacks each other, the family usurps each other, the people are thieves with each other, the monarchs and ministers are not loyal, the father and son are not filial piety, and the brothers are not harmonious, then the harm of the world is also." ”

But what is the use of worshipping this evil? Giving birth to evil by not loving each other?

Zi Mozi said: "Born with not loving each other." ”

"Now the princes know that they love their kingdom and do not love their country, but they do not fear their kingdom and attack the kingdom of men. Now the head of the house knows how to love his house, but not the house of others, so that he does not hesitate to exalt his house, and usurps the house of others. Today, people only know how to love their bodies, and they do not love the bodies of others, so that they do not exalt their bodies and take the bodies of thieves. Therefore, if the princes do not love each other, they will fight in the field; If the head of the family does not love each other, he will usurp each other; If people do not love each other, they will be thieves; If the monarch and the minister do not love each other, they will not be loyal; If father and son do not love each other, they are not filial piety; If brothers do not love each other, they will not be in harmony. No one in the world loves each other, the strong will cling to the weak, the rich will insult the poor, the noble will be cheap, and the deceit will deceive the foolish. Where the world is plagued by resentment, and those who cause it are born without love, it is not the benevolent. ”

If it is wrong, how can it be easy?

Zi Mozi said: "It is easy to love each other and benefit each other." ”

However, what will be the method of love and mutual benefit?

Zi Mozi said: "Regard the country of people as if they regard their country; Regard the home of a person, as if it were his home; Regard the body of a man as if he were his body. Therefore, if the princes love each other, they will not fight in the field; If the head of the family loves each other, he will not usurp each other; If people love each other, they will not be thieves; If the monarch and the minister love each other, they will be loyal; If father and son love each other, they will be filial piety; When brothers love each other, they are harmonious. All the people in the world love each other, the strong do not cling to the weak, the people do not rob the widows, the rich do not insult the poor, the noble do not deceive the cheap, and the deceit does not deceive the foolish. Where there is calamity and resentment in the world, those who do not arise can be born with love, and they are praised by benevolence. ”

"Girl, can the old man carry it right?"

Although Old Man Qu is old, Shen Yun admires this memory to the extreme.

Although this is only part of the articles in the chapter of love, Shen Yun only knows a few sentences in it, compared to the old man who recited it in a subdued tone when he opened his mouth, it was not a little bit worse.

"Grandpa Qu, you are amazing!"

"I can't memorize such a long article, so I don't know if you're right or wrong!"

Shen Yun blinked, indicating that he was a rookie.

Old Man Qu smiled and said, "You have a fast mind!" ”

"If the father is not kind and the son is not filial, then the ethics are disordered, and it is the beginning of the chaos of the family."

"My old man thinks that children should serve their parents for filial piety, but they should not be foolish."

"If your grandmother, you avoided your mother this time, but it is not a bad way to deal with it. But this method will not last long after all! ”

Old Man Qu blinked, "Girl, do you want to know what method is the long-term method?" ”

"Yes!"

Shen Yun didn't think about it, and nodded decisively.

Cui's unreasonable things, she only knew, and for the first time, she saw it.

But she really didn't want to see it a second time.

"Well, you'll have to ask your grandfather!"

Old Man Qu laughed and waved his hand to Shen Yun, "Okay, hurry up and call your mother home!" ”

"Grandpa Qu, you lie!"

"I'll tell my grandfather to stop playing chess with you!"

"Humph!"

Shen Yun felt that he had been tricked by this old man, and he couldn't help but make a little fuss, and angrily issued a threat that he obviously didn't have much strength.

"Haha, that's a good feeling!"

"Just your grandfather's stinky chess basket!"

"Grandpa Qu, you said behind your back that my grandfather was a stinky chess basket, I will definitely tell my grandfather, hehe......"

Hearing Old Man Qu's words, Shen Yun suddenly smiled and was triumphant.

And the old man Qu, who was very proud just now, is wilting like a frosted eggplant at this time.
