Final answer:

Confucianism's principle of filial piety is supported by the Master's advice to Fan Ch'ih, emphasizing the importance of respecting and serving one's parents in life and death.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cornerstone of Confucian virtue is filial piety. Confucius felt that the role of the father was to care for and educate his son, but the duty of the son must be to respect his father by obediently abiding by his wishes. When your parents are alive, comply with the rites in serving them; when they die, comply with the rites in burying them; comply with the rites in sacrificing to them.
