中国人的精神4.14
方疏桐
Tzu hsia asked, what is filial piety? Confucius said,“The difficulty is with the manner *of doing it.That merely when there is work to be done, the young people should take the trouble of doing it, and when there is wine and food, the old folk are allowed to partake it,—do you really think that is filial piety?” (Discourses and Sayings Ch.II.9.) Now the whole point in the text above lies in this,—that importance is laid not upon what duties you perform towards your parents, but uponhow—in what manner, with what spirit, you perform those duties.
