Filial piety in Confucianism and Caodaism

English review | Phuc Nguyen - 15:06, 20/05/2026
(DTTG) - Abstract: This article analyzes the value of filial piety in the context of the intersection between traditional Confucianism and Caodaism. In Confucianism, filial piety is the foundation of all social relationships, emphasizing respect, care and the preservation of one’s integrity towards one's parents even after their passing. Caodaism inherits these finest qualities but elevates filial piety to a core practice. Accordingly, filial piety is not limited to family duties (humanitarianism) but extends to love for humanity (great filial piety) and is a prerequisite for attaining the heavenly path. The article asserts that filial piety is the measure of a practitioner’s value and the spiritual bond connecting generations.
