《孝经》与两汉的孝行

The Piety Scripture and the piety in Western and Eastern Han Dynasties

两汉时代,《孝经》思想社会化,孝道成为家庭伦理的核心、社会道德规范,深刻影响了人们的行为,尊敬、赡养父母,安葬、祭祀父母,蔚然成风,两汉成为孝子辈出、孝行兴盛的时代。

In both Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, I he Piety Scripture is socially rooted, Piety becomes the core of family ethic and the social norms. So it profoundly influences human behaviors in respecting, caring for the aged, and attending to the funeral and memorial rituals for the dead. The Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, thus, become the era of dutiful children and the era of prosperity owing to piety.
