《文昌孝经·孝感章》
但愿子女的心，常常像在母亲腹中一样，一呼一吸，吸食母亲的脂膏和血液；一血一脉，都倚仗父亲的扶持。情虽然是发自心性，是命的依靠，阴阳日月都是从这里得到协调，天地的运行是从这里得到调和，五声六律五行和谐，五伦妙道也是从这里得到协调。宇宙有尽头，孝的心愿不磨灭。
但愿人子心，常如在母腹，一呼一吸中，吮血茹膏液，一血一脉间，俱属在父怙，情虽性发，依为命府，阴阳日月从此龢，乾坤翕辟从此龢，五声六律五行龢，五伦妙道从此龢，太虚有尽处，孝愿无嗟磨。
May the heart of children always be like in the mother’s womb, with each breath inhaling the fat and blood of the mother; each pulse, each drop of blood relies on the support of the father. Feelings, though they come from nature, rely on destiny; yin and yang, the sun and moon, all gain harmony from this; the movements of the heavens and the earth are harmonized from this; the five tones, six notes, and five elements are harmonized from this; and the wondrous dao of the five relationships is also harmonized from this. The universe has an end, but the intention of filial piety will not fade.
