034, the six relatives are discordant and have filial piety(2/2)
No wonder he couldn't understand. In this area, no one knew what filial piety meant. Even if they had similar vague ideas and concepts, no one had made a clear summary and guidance. What Huwa was talking about at this time was filial piety.
, the true meaning is what Ziqiu once said, "Don't forget where you come from, don't forget what virtue has taught you, and don't forget how you established the world."
Filial piety is not only the responsibility of children, but also the responsibility of parents. No interactive relationship is isolated. Everyone has different identities at the same time. How can children know filial piety if their parents do not follow their example?
Moreover, the filial piety mentioned by Ziqiu is not just a simple internal family ethics, which is only the most direct form of expression. It is a foundation for laying down the moral principles that society should have. It is the common consciousness of the social group and the understanding of the society.
The way of heaven and humanity.
But Huwa is not Ziqiu. He did not answer directly like that. Even if he answered like that, it would be difficult to explain it clearly to these three old men in a few words. He just sighed: "The world has a beginning, and it is considered the mother of the world. Now that it has its mother, it is
Knowing his son. Now that he knows his son, he will return to guard his mother, and she will not be in danger."
The eyes of the three old men were all confused. The words of the gods were really inscrutable, and they did not dare to ask. But Huwa asked again: "Is it just like this in the nearby villages, or is this custom common in all tribes in Baiyue?"
It seems that the old man from Yazhu has been to many places when he was young, and he is considered a well-informed person. He thought for a while and replied: "According to what I heard, various tribes in Baiyue had this custom in ancient times, but not everyone
All tribes have it. Later, the northern tribes moved here, and they did not have such customs. Later, many places in Baiyue no longer had this custom, but some new tribes also had it."
The old man from Yazhu couldn't explain exactly what happened. He had just heard some legends, but Huwa understood it. Jiuli did not have the custom of "going up the mountain when old". Huali, Wuli, Shui
The remnants of the three tribes of Li moved here and after integrating with the local people, many local tribes also gave up this custom, but a few new tribes learned this custom.
Nowadays, the Fangfeng clan is in charge of all the tribes in Baiyue, but the Fangfeng clan is letting it go as long as it does not interfere with his own affairs.
This custom is inconsistent with Chinese etiquette and law, and directly violates the Gaotao Code that the emperor wants to promulgate. When Boyu controlled the floods, he was blocked in promoting Chinese education in Baiyue. Fangfeng could let Boyu control the floods, but not anyone else.
He took care of the affairs of Baiyue, including promulgating rituals and laws, and giving orders to ban this custom. He believed that this was interfering with Baiyue's affairs, and it was an offense to him.
Hearing this, Huwa nodded and said: "I have something to do and want to see Mr. Fangfeng. Please wait and see me here." After saying this, he flew away and continued to Zongcheng to find Mr. Fangfeng. In addition to asking Mr. Fangfeng to hold on, he
Zhankongren came to help, but it seemed that there were other things to discuss, and Huwa couldn't help but sigh secretly.
When some problems do not arise, the corresponding concepts may not need to be emphasized deliberately. For example, when Huwa was young, the simple people of the Bayuan Beihuang tribe did not know what deception was until a Huahai Village man deceived the Lu tribe into giving them eggs.
, and everyone realized that this was a lie! Then everyone knew the concept of integrity and how important it is.
"Respecting the clan elders" and "going up the mountain when old" are both tribal customs, but their meanings are completely opposite. Some people, some things, and some paths, if they deviate from the human way contained in the way of heaven from the beginning, will often become more and more deviated.
The farther away they are, the tribes that have been discontinued or even become extinct have existed since ancient times, but it is difficult for future generations to know.
This also shows the importance of the teachings of saints. Isn't it because Gao Tao compiled "Five Religions" to talk about filial piety and kindness because there is such a thing in the world?
When Huwa flew into the air, he turned around and flicked his fingers, and there seemed to be invisible sweet rain falling down. The dirt on the three old men was gone, their somewhat cloudy eyes were clear again, and their muscles and bones seemed to have regained the strength of their youth. The trees on their bodies
The leather cogon leaves disappeared and were replaced by clean linen clothes.
They just felt like they were in a daze. When they came back to their senses, several hours had passed, and the tiger baby had long disappeared. Several people looked at each other and suddenly burst into tears. Today they actually met a god, who was inexplicably rejuvenated and hurriedly raised his head to the sky.
Kneel down and kowtow. (To be continued.)
