"Parents' words, don't travel far" stated by Confucius in "The Analects" This sentence expresses the simple desire of parents to keep their children. There are many definitions and standards for "filial piety" but are able to accompany and serve the parents of from time to time it should be one of the first principles to measure filial piety.In history, there have been many filial children who gave up the wealth and wealth of high officials from afar in order to be with their parents.
You have to tell your parents when you go out, and you have to report to your parents when you come home. Living quarters must be completed, and workplaces should not be changed frequently.
"You have to position yourself, but you have to deal with it. Nothing changes in your job." This is another life detail that people with children need to pay attention to in everyday life. "Reports must be issued, but faces must be met." Although it may seem like a hassle, in reality, this requirement only lets parents know where it is and allows them to feel comfortable. And "permanent life, no change in karma" is a call for people who are still children to be with their parents from time to time, and do not work and live too far from their parents. Because children do not have a permanent home and running around will make their parents worry about them.
"The Analects of Confucius Liren" says: If your parents are here, you should travel well if you don't travel far. This means that if there are parents in the family, the child cannot go far, even though they have to go far, there must be a reason to go and these reasons must be explained to the parents so that the parents can understand them. "Parents are here, do not travel far" is a simple condition and hope of people in the past for their children, because in ancient times when transportation and communication was very backward, if the child traveled far, it would be difficult to contact and receive news as long as three or five years. In ancient times, long distance communication could only be done by mail, and mail often had to be conveyed through the station layer. Not to mention time consuming, Personal mail is sometimes even lost in the process of transmission due to imperfect communication systems. Hence, traveling long distances at that time represented the end of the world. The parents in the family are generally very old, suffer from illness, maybe even experience unexpected events, if there are no children around, the parents will be very helpless and sad.
Therefore, Confucianism advocates that parents are still alive and children should not travel far, even if they have to travel far, they must inform their parents on time and report their whereabouts at all times to avoid parents worrying about it, this is very natural.
It can be seen that both officials and murderers adhere to the principle of "parents are there, don't travel far." This is actually a manifestation of "filial piety" in different classes, and also fully demonstrates the consistency of "filial piety" in different classes. Agree. More importantly, they not only agree with "parents here, don't travel far" psychologically, but also actively fulfill this requirement in practical action, using the practical actions of a child to explain to their parents that "companionship is a necessary thing. the most important." Long confession ".
