Lesson Plan (PDF file)

The family is extremely important in China, and an extended family of many generations often lived together under one roof. One of Confucius' s Five Virtues is filial piety, which says that family members must respect and value, as well as obey, each other. Although these values may not be as strongly adhered to today, family traditions remain important. Students will compare how the family unit is viewed in China and here in the United States.
