Der Klassiker der Kindspietät (Hiau Ging: das Buch der Ehrfurcht, chinesisch 孝經, Pinyin Xiào jīng, W.-G. Hsiao Ching, auch: Haau3 Ging1, y Haau Gīng, tl Hàu King, ; engl.: Classic of Filial Piety) ist ein Confucian classic treatise giving advice on filial piety: that is, how to behave towards a senior such as a father, an elder brother, or ruler.
The text was most likely written during the early Han and claims to be a conversation between Confucius and his student, Zengzi. The text was widely used during the Han and later dynasties to teach young children basic moral messages as they learnt to read.[1]
Authorship[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
This document probably dates to the 4th century BC. It is not known who actually wrote the document. It is attributed to a conversation between Confucius and his disciple Zengzi. A 12th-century author named He Yin claimed: "The Classic of Filial Piety was not made by Zengzi himself. When he retired from his conversation (or conversations) with Kung-ne on the subject of Filial Piety, he repeated to the disciples of his own school what (the master) had said, and they classified the sayings, and formed the treatise."
Content[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
As the title suggests, the text elaborates on filial piety, which is a core Confucian value. The text argues that if a person loves and serves their parents then they will do the same for their rulers, leading to a harmonious society. For example,[2]
Influence[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
The Classic of Filial Piety occupied an important position in classical education as one of the most popular foundational texts through to late imperial China.[3] The text was used in elementary and moral education together with the Analects, Elementary Learning, and the Biographies of Exemplary Women.[4] Study of the text was also mentioned in epitaphs as an indication of a person's good character. It was a practice to read aloud the text when mourning one's parents. The text was also important politically, partly because filial piety was both a means of demonstrating moral virtue and entering officialdom for those with family connections to the imperial court.[5] The text was important in Neo-Confucianism and was quoted by the influential Song figure and Neo-Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi.
