孝道是儒家傳統中的核心價值之一，不僅關乎身體上的道德實踐，更指向對人類終極起源和生存意義的思考，與宗教問題具有密切的關聯。從宗教學的角度討論孝道，並不是將孝視為一種具體形式的宗教，而是將孝道放置在宗教學這一學科框架中，通過陳白沙的孝道經驗作為例證，挖掘其孝背後所蘊含的終極意義和責任擔當，進而揭示儒家孝道與宗教的關聯，這對於深化現代新儒家的儒學宗教性研究具有一定的學術意義。

Filial piety is one of the essential virtues in Confucianism tradition. It refers not only to moral actions, but also to our thinking towards ultimate origin and the meaning of existence, the concept involves the relationship between different values in physical world and metaphysical world, which is closely related to religious issues. This paper attempts to discuss Chen Baisha’s (陳白沙) filial piety from the perspective of Science of Religion. His philosophy of filial piety won’t be regarded as a specific form of religion, but to study it under the framework of Science of Religion. Through Chen Baisha’s experience of filial piety as an example, we can explore the ultimate concern and responsibility behind his filial piety, and then reveal the relationship between Confucian filial piety and religion, which has certain academic significance for deepening the study of Confucian religious nature of modern new Confucianism.
