Filial piety has always been an important part of China's traditional culture and the social, cultural and psychological foundation of a country's stability. China's filial piety, represented by the new "Twenty-four Filial Pieties", has now become the life standard of China families.
Experts said that the cultural value of China's filial piety needs to be re-examined in the context of the prevalence of guilt culture in the West. As China enters a new era, the traditional filial piety culture needs to be further creatively inherited and developed.
"Economic support, life care and spiritual comfort are the basic contents of China people's practice of filial piety since ancient times. Filial piety is a long-standing ethical norm of the Chinese nation. " For some foreigners, the word "filial piety" with China characteristics is still a new thing.
In China, parents want their children to live a better life, and children want their parents to live a happy life in their later years. Therefore, most of them are' altruistic filial piety' based on family ties and ethical missions, and do not ask for anything in return. In western culture, the expressions corresponding to "filial piety" include piety and gratitude. This kind of "western-style filial piety" is mostly fulfilling legal obligations with market-oriented rules and self-interested filial piety. "
"There are also differences in family concepts between China and the West." Since ancient times, people in China have attached great importance to family and kinship, and extended from family to family, forming a close relationship among family, family, society and country based on human feelings.
Home has become the origin of people's spiritual destination. Western culture emphasizes the individual as the core, and the contractual relationship between people is based on law. This kind of relationship is relatively loose, so family values are not strong.
