Days with Dorgon

The Cat Princess from Heaven

Since Emperor Wu of Jin did not realize the Crown Prince's stupidity, he must have intended to pass on the throne to the heir. Many famous officials also offered frank opinions. The emperor once sat on Lingyun Terrace, and Wei Guan was beside him. He wanted to express his feelings, so he knelt before the emperor as if drunk, stroked the bed with his hand and said, "It's a pity to sit here." The emperor realized it, but laughed and said, "Are you drunk?"

Dear wife, stop running, husband

The senior officials lower their concubines’ sons, and their grandchildren do not lower their fathers. Senior officials do not preside over the mourning of scholars. There is no mourning for the parents of the loving mother. If the husband is the descendant, his wife is the great merit of the uncle and aunt. If the scholar is buried with the senior officials, the sacrifice is changed. If the stepfather does not live with him, he must live with him once. There is no master descendant. Sharing wealth and offering sacrifices to the ancestors is considered living together; if there is a master descendant, it is considered living separately. Those who mourn for their friends should face south to the right outside the door. Those who are buried with their parents do not use divination to predict their house. Scholars and officials cannot be buried with princes. They can be buried with their grandfathers. For scholars and officials, their wives are buried with their aunts and grandparents, and their concubines are buried with their grandparents. If they die, the first and second sons can be buried with them. They must be buried according to the order of the ancestors. Princes cannot be buried with the emperor. The emperor, princes, and officials can be buried with scholars.

He asked Hui why he did not bow, Hui said: "Stealing is not rite, so I do not bow."

Wang Junchong was the Minister of the Chancellery. He wore his official uniform and rode in a carriage. He passed by Huang Gong's wine shop and said to the passengers in the carriage behind him, "I used to drink with Ji Shuye and Ruan Sizong at this wine shop. We also had a trip to the bamboo forest. Since Ji Shuye died young and Ruan Gong passed away, I have been bound by the times. Although this place seems close today, it seems as far away as mountains and rivers."
