孔子的弟子曾参对父亲非常孝顺。他们父子俩都爱吃羊枣,父亲死后,他遵从儒家的孝道,不再吃羊枣。后来,孟子的学生公孙丑问孟子:“脍炙肯定比羊枣好吃,曾参父子肯定也都爱吃脍炙。那为什么父亲死后,曾参仍吃脍炙呢?”孟子答道:“脍炙是人人都爱吃的东西,而羊枣只是曾参父子爱吃,这是不同的。” Confucius’s disciples have participated in his father very filial piety. Both father and son love to eat dates, his father died, he obey Confucian filial piety, no longer eat dates. Later, the Mencius student Gongsun Chou asked Mencius: “Sunburn affirmative than the date, delicious food, had reference to his father must have also love to eat Sunburn. Why did his father eat?” Mencius replied: “Sunburn is something that everyone loves to eat, and dates are only loved by their father and son, which is different.”
