The Hsiao King or Classic of Filial Piety is a book translated by James Legge. It is a Chinese classic that emphasizes the importance of filial piety, or respect for one's parents and ancestors. The book is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the duties of children towards their parents, while the second part discusses the duties of rulers towards their subjects. The book includes stories and examples of filial piety from Chinese history and mythology. Legge's translation includes notes and commentary to provide context and explanation for readers unfamiliar with Chinese culture and history. The Hsiao King is a significant text in Confucianism and has influenced Chinese culture for centuries.The disciple Zang said, 'I have heard your instructions on the affection of love, on respect and reverence, on giving repose to (the minds of) our parents, and on making our name famous;--I would venture to ask if (simple) obedience to the orders of one's father can be pronounced filial piety.' The Master replied, 'What words are these! what words are these!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
