WILL MARK BRAINLIEST NEED FAST ANSWER ... one statement of Confucius ... occurs twice in the Analects: 'When a man's father is alive, look at the bent of his will; when his father is dead, look at his conduct. If for three years he does
not change from his father's way, he may be called filial [loyal to his parents].'...Zhu Xi
interprets this passage in the following way: 'When a man's father is alive, he should observe his
father's will, not acting on his own, and his will can be known according to his father's will.
When his father is dead, his own conduct can be seen, and he can be judged by his own conduct
whether he himself is good or not. He may be called filial, however, only when he must not
change from his father's way for three years; otherwise he may not be called filial even if his
conduct itself is good.'... one should unconditionally carry on in the manner of one's father for
three years in order to feel at ease in one's heart."
