This work is believed to have been written during the early centuries of the Common Era in China. The book delves into the lives and virtues of historical figures who exemplify the Confucian ideal of filial duty and respect towards one's parents, offering insights into how these qualities were perceived and honored in traditional Chinese society. The text presents a series of vignettes highlighting notable figures such as Yu the Great, King Wen of Zhou, and Confucius himself, among others. Each biography illustrates the principle of filial piety through stories of selflessness, devotion, and the moral obligations that children have towards their parents. For instance, it recounts how these figures faced personal and societal challenges while upholding their responsibilities to their families, ultimately reflecting the broader cultural reverence for loyalty and respect within the family unit. Through these accounts, Tao Qian aims to inspire readers to embody these virtues in their daily lives.
