Delight in the Visit

by Po Chü-i

Suddenly I hear
A knocking at the door,
Together with the sounds of drunken singing.
I hardly know what I am doing.
Pushing my glass aside,
I rush to welcome my guest.
We share the relaxation
Of poetic wildness,
So that our craving for wine
Gives us special intimacy.

In Confucian thought, filial piety Xiào (孝) is one of the virtues to be cultivated, a love and respect for one's parents and ancestors.
