Professor Yang Hua, deputy dean of the School of History, pointed out that in legal level, there has been severe punishment of “impiety” sin from Qin Dynasty to the Han and Tang Dynasties. Traditional Chinese filial piety has been passed down from generation to generation, and this is not only the result advocating Confucianism, but also the result of the State (law) and social interaction (etiquette).
