SomebodyThis sentence was said by Confucius. The common understanding is that when the parents are there, the children should not go far away, in case the parents are worried, and also to prevent themselves from being able to fulfill their filial piety in time by the parents' side, if they must go far away, they should tell the parents where they are going (direction).
This explanation sounds reasonable, but when you taste it carefully, it feels unreasonable and illogical. Children have to go far away, because parents are worried about their safety when they go far away, so they don't go out to do things, which is not in line with common sense, and people usually do not have this kind of thinking Xi. As a child, if you go far away, you don't go out to do things because you are afraid that you won't be able to fulfill your filial piety in time by your parents' side, which is not in line with human nature. As for the reason why if you have to go out to run errands, you just need to tell your parents where (direction) you are going, and you can go out, this reason is even more absurd. In ancient times, children and parents lived together, generally not separated, children don't go far away, even if they go out to go around the door for a while, often have to say hello to their parents, tell their parents where they have gone. As long as you tell your parents where you want to go, you can go far away, and this explanation is simply unreasonable.

罗销This sentence means that when parents are in, try not to go far away, if you really want to go far away, but be sure to tell your parents, don't let your parents worry about it! On the other hand, if the parents are sick or in need of their children, and the children do not return in time because they are too far away from home, and the parents are no longer there, this will leave the greatest regret in life. In the eyes of Confucius, it is intolerable for children to travel far away and be unable to show filial piety to their parents. Filial piety is the first good, filial piety parents is the greatest merit in the world. It is also the responsibility of children, the ancients said: unfilial parents, worship Buddha useless. Without filial piety to parents, learning Buddhism and doing all merits are meaningless. Parents do not travel far away, the tree wants to calm and the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise and close do not stay. While parents are alive, often take time to go home to see, do our filial piety, spend more time with them, don't wait until lost, just know how to cherish.

用户718434Parents alive, do not go far away, if you have to go far away, you must arrange ways to take care of their parents, in order to fulfill filial piety. This sentence conveys the values of honoring parents and maintaining family harmony, reflecting the characteristics of Chinese traditional culture that attaches importance to family ethics and family concepts.

用户718381This statement encapsulates the Confucian belief in the fundamental duty of children to care for and honor their parents. It emphasizes the importance of staying close to one's family and maintaining strong familial bonds. The idea is that children should prioritize their parents' well-being and happiness above their own personal ambitions or desires for adventure.
However, Confucius also recognizes that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes circumstances may force children to leave home. In such cases, he advises that if one must travel far away, they should still strive to maintain a sense of restraint and respect towards their parents. This could mean regularly communicating with them, expressing gratitude for their support, or making efforts to visit them as often as possible.
