The 24th Zhejiang Filial Piety Sculpture was demolished. What do you think of these statues?

Recently, the 24-filial piety sculpture in a scenic spot in Zhejiang has aroused heated discussion. Many netizens said that it should be demolished because it does not conform to the values of modern people, but some people hold objections. However, because this incident caused great controversy on the Internet, it was finally demolished. Actually, I'm not in favor of demolition.

First of all, let's talk about the story behind this sculpture. The story behind this sculpture is mainly about an ancient family. There is a very old lady at home. Her teeth have all fallen out and she has to drink rice soup every meal, but she can't stand drinking rice soup for a long time. Her daughter-in-law felt sorry for her mother-in-law, so she fed her with her own milk, and for several years, her mother-in-law was very healthy, which was the reason for people at that time. In fact, in ancient times, this was a very filial act, because in ancient times, parents were heaven, and daughter-in-law made such a big sacrifice for her mother-in-law. She really deserves to be an example to others. However, this kind of behavior is really not worth advocating in modern times, and it is completely out of line with the values of today's society. Because science and technology are so advanced now, there are many ways to maintain health, and there is no need for a daughter-in-law to nurse, so it is understandable that people call for the demolition of this building.

But I personally don't agree with the demolition. First of all, this sculpture advocates filial piety to parents, rather than guiding people to be filial in this way. I believe that the main purpose of building this sculpture in the scenic spot is to let people know how to be filial to their parents through this allusion. After all, there are indeed many children who are not filial to their parents, so we should not just stare at the story behind this sculpture, but should know the meaning expressed by this sculpture. We should be more tolerant of traditional culture, so I don't think it is necessary to tear it down.

Filial piety is the first virtue, and only those who are filial can finally achieve something. People who are disloyal and unfilial should appreciate the beauty of this sculpture rather than picking its thorns.
