[quote=GUESTNEST,275978]"In Chinese, we had an old saying. “身体发肤， 受之父母, 不敢毁伤 孝之始也”" It is the first step of piety that body, hair and skin are not allowed to be self-wounded because they were borne by parents. " The lines you quoted are from " the Classic of Filial Piety", also called XiaoJing (孝经）。 The book was written by Zeng Can ( 曾参), a disciple of Confucius. He recorded confucius' lesson on how to behave towards senior people. The book contains feudal ideology. Nevertheless, its advocate of filial piety is of great value. Today, we understand that being filial or not has nothing to do with your body hair. Cut it, you can still be a filial child. I shave because my girlfriend tells me to shave. I don't mean that most girls like clean-shaven guys, but my gal wants me to be clean-shaven.[/quote]
