AB - There has been some misunderstanding on the traditional Filial piety(HYO: Harmony of Young & Old, 孝). It is true that most religions, cultures, and even some ideologies were at least partially based on HYO spirit. It is interesting to note that HYO has shown some negative aspects, especially during the authoritarianism period. This study discussed the positive and negative aspects of HYO which has significantly affected the Korean society. Three aspects of HYO were evaluated in this study. First, HYO may be understood as a few different meanings, such as based on the perspective of humanities and socioeconomic. HYO, of course, includes the ethical values of the relationships between parents and children. In this study some socioeconomic values were also discussed. Second, traditional HYO usually means that children obey their parents. However, some classical literature reported that disobedience could also be HYO. This literature suggested that the disobedience due to the rationality and consideration of others could a way to express a variety of HYO. In patriarchal social order, only obedience was HYO. In this social system, the sacrifice and obedience of children were forced by the social system. Interestingly, during the same time period, some people were against this traditional HYO. This new movement was discussed in this study. Finally, when HYO and Confucianism were merged, the favoritism by blood, school, regional and even vocational connections caused lots of negative consequences in the society. This study discussed not only this negative aspect of HYO, but also some positive roles of HYO even in the Confucianism dominated society. We now live in a multicultural, multiracial and welfare society. If the HYO spirit was combined properly in this society, HYO may help advance the society with social norm, which may be safer and more valuable.
