The Importance of Inheriting the Traditional Virtues
As we can see from the picture above, when the boy was small, his father helped him wash his feet to show a father’s love and care. When the boy grew up and his father grew old, he took care of his father by washing his father’s feet. The picture illustrates a long-treasured virtue in China——respecting the old and caring for the young.
It is well-known that there are many traditional virtues in China, among which respecting the old and caring for the young is regarded as the most important one. When a person is a little baby, it is his parents who should take the responsibility to take care of him. However, as he grows into his adulthood, his parents surely have become old. At this time, what his parents need is his care and love. Otherwise, they would feel lonely and abandoned.
It goes without saying that the traditional virtue needs to be passed down from generation to generation. Respecting the old and caring for the young is only one of the many traditional virtues of China, and all traditional virtues should be inherited by young people. It is the young people’s responsibility to perpetuate our splendid traditional virtues and make our society more harmonious.

继承传统美德的重要性
如上图所示,小男孩很小的时候他爸爸帮他洗脚来表现对他的爱和关心。当这个男孩逐渐长大,他爸爸逐渐变老的时候,他通过帮他爸爸洗脚来照顾他。这幅图表现了中国一个长期受到珍视的美德——尊老爱幼。
我们都知道中国有很多传统美德,其中尊老爱幼被视作是最重要的。当孩子小的时候,他父母有责任照顾他。然而,当孩于逐渐长大成人,他的父母就会变老。这时,老人需要的是孩子的关心和爱。否则,老人就会有孤独和被抛弃的感觉。
毫无疑问,传统美德需要被一代代的传承下去。尊老爱幼只是中国众多传统美德中的一种,所有的传统美德都应该传承给年轻人。传承我们优良的传统美德,让社会变得更加和谐是年轻人的责任。
