On Filial Thoughts of Book of Filial Piety and University Students' Filial Education

In ancient China, the filial piety was an important norm to evaluate one's conducts. And Book of Filial Piety was the first Confucian classic work which systematically interpreted it. In new period, we give it a new interpretation and then form an effective new system for its educational evaluation which can serve as a standard for students' conducting of filial piety. This can be great help for the improvement of filial education. Firstly, we should make propaganda of filial knowledge among university students and make them know the significance of practicing filial piety in contemporary China. Secondly, we should strengthen the propaganda of some typical filial deeds of them which can enhance their responsibility consciousness. Thirdly, universities should create helpful educational environment for students. They can make use of special holidays and forms in an attempt to strengthen their practice of filial piety and their consciousness of gratitude for their family.
