“…Since filial piety is ranked as the most important traditional concept by both lay people and experts in China (Zhang and Weng, 2017), according to T-M theory, it should change in a traditional direction; that is, people may place more value on filial piety when traditional meets modernity. However, our results refuted this speculation and revealed the superiority of independence, which was consistent with the findings of Zhang et al (2021) that implicitly, all traditional concepts are changing in a modern direction, affected by Western individualistic ideas.…”

“…Filial piety is an important traditional construct in China, so it should continue in a traditional way. However, research has found that, explicitly, this was the case but, implicitly, filial piety was changing in a modern direction, affected by modern individualistic western-influenced cultural ideas (Zhang et al, 2021). Bedford and Yeh (2021) discussed the evolution of the conceptualization of filial piety and developed the Dual Filial Piety Model.…”

Modernization in China is accompanied by some specific features: aging, individualization, the emergence of the nuclear family, and changing filial piety. While young Chinese people are still the main caregivers for older adults, understanding the attitudes of young Chinese people toward aging and living independently in the context of modernization is important because it relates to future elderly care problems in China. By using in-depth interviews and qualitative methods, 45 participants were enrolled in the study, 38 (84.44%) were women and 37 (82.22%) had no siblings. The ages ranged from 17 to 25 years (mean age = 19.28, SD = 1.74). Results revealed that participants held diverse attitudes about older adults, but the general attitudes were that older adults are lonely, financially disadvantaged, have poor social support, lack hobbies, and care about their children more than themselves. Chinese college students were affected both by traditional filial piety and individualism; however, of the two, they seemed put greater value on independence. Moreover, traditional filial piety is changing in a modern direction, affected by Western ideas of individualism: the status of the senior is diminishing, and living with one’s parents is no longer regarded as a necessary component. Implications concerning age stereotypes, elderly care policies, and strategies are discussed.

“…Tradition is an inherent behavior or habit that human beings gradually recognize and follow in the long historical evolution in the past, which is extensible and inherited. Applying traditional cultural elements to packaging design, we can try to express the cultural flavor of products with modern design techniques, and at the same time, we can raise traditional culture to a new height [2]. Packaging design culture is both national and contemporary.…”
