“In traditional Chinese culture, the concept of "filial piety" has a long and profound history. Pre Qin Confucianism developed it from ancestor worship to universal moral ethics, with the original meaning of five dimensions: nurturing, respecting, comforting, admonishing, and dying relatives. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, pre Qin Confucianism has expanded the concept of "filial piety" from "caring for relatives" to the ethics of the entire social order, achieving a creative transformation and innovative development of the "filial piety" ideology.”
