Star Language: Singing for You

Zhong Yu was a Huangmen Lang. He was alert and was at the banquet with King Jing. At that time, Xuanbo, the son of Chen Qun, and Yuanxia, ​​the son of Wu Zhou, were sitting together and they laughed at Yu. King Jing asked, "What kind of person is Gao Yao?" He replied, "He is a virtuous man in ancient times." Turning back to Xuanbo and Yuanxia, ​​he said, "A gentleman is inclusive but not partial, and he is a group but not a party."

If the ministers go out of the country privately, they must ask for permission. When they return, they must offer. If the scholars go out of the country privately, they must ask for permission; when they return, they must tell. If the king works hard for them, they will bow; if they ask about their travels, they will bow before answering. When a king leaves his country, he is stopped by saying, "How can you leave the altar of the country?" The ministers say, "How can you leave the ancestral temple?" The scholars say, "How can you leave the grave?" The king dies for the altar of the country, the ministers die for the people, and the scholars die for the system.

Zixia said: "The virtue of the three kings is comparable to that of heaven and earth. I dare to ask: how can it be said to be comparable to that of heaven and earth?" Confucius said: "Follow the three selfless things to work for the world." Zixia said: "I dare to ask what the three selfless things are?" Confucius said: "The sky covers without selfless things, the earth carries without selfless things, and the sun and the moon shine without selfless things. Following these three to work for the world is called the three selfless things. It is said in the Book of Songs: "The emperor's order is not violated, and it reaches Tang Qi. Tang descends without delay, and the saints respect each other day by day. Zhao takes time to grant, and God is respectful. The emperor's order is set in the nine circles. "This is the virtue of Tang. There are four seasons in the sky, spring, autumn, winter and summer, wind, rain, frost and dew, all of which are teachings. The earth carries spirits, spirits and winds, winds and thunders flow, and all things are born, all of which are teachings. When the body is clear and bright, the spirit and will are like gods, and the desires are about to come, and they must be opened first. The sky rains down, and clouds come out of the mountains and rivers. It is said in the Book of Songs: "Song is high and steep as the sky. Only the mountain descends the spirit, giving birth to Fu and Shen. Only Shen and Fu, only Zhou's Han. The four countries are in the frontier, and the four directions are in Xuan. 'This is the virtue of civil and military. The kings of the three dynasties must first make it known. The Book of Songs says: "The wise and enlightened emperor will make it known without stopping. 'This is the virtue of the three dynasties. 'Relax his civil virtues and coordinate these four countries. 'This is the virtue of the king. "Zixia jumped up, stood with his back to the wall and said: "How dare I not accept it!"

Behind the Time

Then why is it three years? Answer: The closest relatives are separated by a period. Why is that? Answer: The heaven and earth have changed, the four seasons have changed, and everything in the heaven and earth has been renewed, so it is a symbol. Then why is it three years? Answer: It is to add more, so why double it, so it is a double period. Why is it from September to below? Answer: Why not make it less than that. Therefore, three years is a period of mourning, a small mourning is a period of mourning, and a period of nine months is a period of mourning. Take the image from the sky above, the law from the earth below, and the example from people in the middle, and the principle of human beings living together and in harmony is complete. Therefore, the three-year mourning is the most elegant of human nature, and this is called the most solemn. This is the same for all kings, and the same for ancient and modern times, but no one knows where it comes from. Confucius said: "After three years of life, one can escape from the embrace of parents; the three-year mourning is the most common mourning in the world."
