Abstract
Filial piety is a widespread virtue in human history and is regarded as the caring duty of adult children to their elderly parents (Bedford et al., 2022; Cicirelli, 1993; Sung, 1995; Leichtentritt et al., 2004). Scholars around the world have conducted a lot of research on filial piety.Scholars in China primarily explore filial piety from the perspectives of ethics, education, and political science, focusing more on theoretical analyses of the concept. In contrast, international research on filial piety is more closely associated with disciplines such as psychology, social sciences, and medicine, emphasizing its concrete manifestations within family dynamics and intergenerational relationships.This paper compares the consensus and differences in the phenomenon of filial piety in China and other countries between 2013 and 2024, in order to lay the foundation for the study of filial piety theory and related policies.
