The Arise and Variation of Confucian Theory of Filial Piety

The post-modernist philosophy holds that once a text be published, the author of it no longer has the right to explain it. The original Confucian theory of filial piety which stressed natural love, pursued the equality and independence of personality has come to its inverse since Qin-Han dynasties. The theory of filial piety after Qin-Han dynasties has the characteristic in combining foolish loyalty and foolish filial piety. The rise of foolish filial piety internally related with the need to construct the national ideology. Therefore, it is a key to creatively return to the original Confucian theory of filial piety for the Confucian culture of filial piety to be internationalized.
