Idioms and allusions
Source: in the Analects of Confucius, Wei Zheng: "today's filial piety is able to cultivate. As for dogs and horses, they can all be raised. Why not be disrespectful? " Example: so I often go up and write to the bottom of the palace, and I am willing to bury my ancestors in the mound and grave, and trust myself in the management of the Treasury, so as to end up with Yan. Wang Anshi's shangxiangfu book in Song Dynasty translated: "nowadays, the so-called filial son is said to be able to support his parents. However, dogs and horses can be raised. If you don't show filial piety to your parents, what's the difference between raising dogs and horses? "
