Abstract:The values of traditional filial piety culture to thanksgiving education are reflected in the respect of family members,philanthropism and life education.From the perspective of traditional filial piety culture,this paper rethinks the manifestations and reasons for the inadequacy of thanksgiving education for college students and then points out that alienation of traditional filial piety culture in historic evolution,social materialization,intergenerational relationships,the intensification of generation gap and dislocation in family and school education result in the deficiency of thanksgiving education for college students.Therefore,this paper proposes several ways on how to strengthen thanksgiving education for college students,including absorbing the soul of filial piety culture,broadening the carrier of filial piety culture and constructing long-term mechanism of traditional filial piety culture education.
