《二十四孝》 / Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars

《二十四孝》 / Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars is the later filial-piety tradition invoked by 06.搜神记: 二十四孝这口锅,干宝不背. The episode acknowledges that stories such as Guo Ju burying his son and lying on ice for carp are often traced back to or associated with 《搜神记》, but it argues that later moralizing reception is not the same as the source collection’s full stance.

The key wiki concept is Filial Piety Story Afterlife. In the source’s reading, 干宝 records filial wonders as strange events in a book that also preserves revenge, women leaving abuse, sympathetic monsters, anti-authority satire, and unexplained marvels. Treating these tales only as commands to imitate is therefore a later narrowing of a more plural archive.
