“孝悌为先务,本立而道生。”这句《贤文》的孝指孝敬长辈,容易理解,悌则是指敬爱兄长,《孟子滕文公下》:“于此有人焉,入则孝,出则悌。”即“入则事亲孝,出则敬长悌。悌,顺也。”这句中的“本”即做人的根本,“道”即做人的道理。意思是孝顺是一个人首要、重要和根本的事情,只有懂得和做到了孝顺,才能明白做人的道理。朱子的“弟子规”成为后世启蒙教育的重要读本,它的首段是这样的:“弟子规,圣人训,首孝悌,次谨信,泛爱众,而亲仁,有余力,则学文。”将孝悌放在首位,践行好了孝悌之后,再讲究“信”、“爱”、“仁”,有了剩余的时间和精力再去“学文”,我们暂且不去论述朱子的这种排列顺序是否科学合理,没有必要以现代人的标准去要求古人,从 “Filial piety as the priority, the legislation.” The “filial piety” filial piety respect elders, easy to understand, while refers to the beloved eldest brother, “Mencius Teng Wenxia”: “Here’s someone Yan, into the filial piety, Out of 悌. ”That is,“ into the matter of pro-filial piety, out of respect and long 悌. 悌, Shun Ye. ”The phrase“ this ”is the fundamental man,“ Road ”that is the truth.
