“In Confucian Thought, one of the virtues to be cultivated, a love and respect for one’s parents and ancestors.” This is the meaning of Filial piety in a dictionary. Since filial piety came from Confucian philosophy, it was an important value in Asian society from ancient times. Filial piety is the basic virtue. Korean society also has been keeping the virtue. There is a Korean proverb: “If you tend your parents with filial piety, you could see the rock with the grass.” It means a miracle could be happened if heaven was impressed by your filial piety for parents.
I was educated about filial piety and I think it is an important value to me. In Korea, students learn about some virtues through the subject which is called Morality. Students should know about filial piety because it is the important part of the class. Moreover, I could learn about it substantially watching how my parents are respecting for their parents.
