(《Di Zi Gui》At Home, Be Dutiful to Your Parents)

Co-13        Although a matter may be considered trivial, but if it is wrong to do it or unfair to the other person, do not do it thinking it will bear little or no consequence.

(《Di Zi Gui》At Home, Be Dutiful to Your Parents)
德有伤。贻亲羞。
(《弟子规》入则孝)
Co-19        When you have loving parents, it is not difficult to be a dutiful child.
(《Di Zi Gui》At Home, Be Dutiful to Your Parents)
亲爱我。孝何难。
(《弟子规》入则孝)
Co-20        If you are still dutiful to parents who hate you, only then will it meet the standards of the saints and sages for being a dutiful child.
(《Di Zi Gui》At Home, Be Dutiful to Your Parents)
亲憎我。孝方贤。
(《弟子规》入则孝)
Co-21        When your parents do wrong, urge them to change. Do it with a kind facial expression and a warm gentle voice. If you do not accept your advice, wait until they are in a happier mood before you dissuade them again, followed by crying to make them understand why. If they end up whipping you do not hold a grudge against them.
(《Di Zi Gui》At Home, Be Dutiful to Your Parents)

(《弟子规》入则孝)

During this period you should arrange your home to reflect your grief and sorrow. Avoid festivities and indulgence in food and alcoholic drinks.
(《Di Zi Gui》At Home, Be Dutiful to Your Parents)
丧三年。常悲咽。居处变。酒肉绝。
(《弟子规》入则孝)
Co-24        Observe the proper etiquette in arranging their funerals. Hold the memorial ceremony and commemorate their anniversaries with your utmost sincerity. Serve your departed parents as if they were still alive.
