The historical story of all virtues is filial piety 150.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Huang Xiang. He knew how to be close to and filial to his parents when he was very young.

When he was nine years old, his mother died and his father came to raise him alone. He is well aware of his father's hard work and is doubly filial to him. All the housework is undertaken by him alone. When other children are playing, he chopping wood and cooking at home, so that his father can have more time to rest.

In summer, when the weather is hot, Huang Xiang's father finished his work and sat in the yard to enjoy the cool. Huang Xiang used a fan to cool the bed, and then served his father to go to bed. In winter, it's freezing. Before letting his father lie down to sleep, he warmed the bed with his body. Over time, Huang Xiang's filial piety to his father won the praise of his neighbors.

Extended data:

The body is a skin injury, and parents dare not hurt it. Filial piety is also the beginning. Standing on the street, making a name for yourself in later generations to show your parents, is also the end of filial piety. Filial piety begins with maintaining physical integrity and ends with being an official and honoring one's ancestors.

China has always been a patriarchal society with strong clan power. In order to strengthen centralization and maintain political rule, the rulers of China have chosen "filial piety" as their mainstream values, thus making the implicit use of emotions an important policy. Therefore, emperors of all dynasties advocated "ruling the world with filial piety".
