Confucianism -> Liji -> Nei Ze -> 18

If a parent have a fault, (the son) should with bated breath, and bland aspect, and gentle voice, admonish him.
If the admonition do not take effect, he will be the more reverential and the more filial; and when the father seems pleased, he will repeat the admonition. If he should be displeased with this, rather than allow him to commit an offence against any one in the neighbourhood or countryside, (the son) should strongly remonstrate. If the parent be angry and (more) displeased, and beat him till the blood flows, he should not presume to be angry and resentful, but be (still) more reverential and more filial.
