Unpredictable Yin and Yang

Nanyang Zong Shilin was a contemporary of Wei Wu, but Wei Wu despised him as a person and did not associate with him. When Wei Wu became Sikong and was in charge of government affairs, he calmly asked Zong, "Can I befriend you?" Zong replied, "The ambition of pine and cypress still remains." Shi Lin was dismissed for disobeying the emperor's order, and his position was not worthy of his virtue. Whenever Emperor Wen's brothers visited his door, they would bow alone under the bed. This was their etiquette for greeting.

The 1980s cannon fodder made a great comeback

Sister-brother relationship: Please, let me go

In mourning, the hair was tied with hemp; for the mother, the hair was tied with hemp, and the hair was loose and cloth was worn. In mourning, the hair was not worn with a hairpin to end the mourning. Men wore a cap and women wore a hairpin, men wore a hairpin and women wore a hairpin. Its meaning: for men, it was loose, and for women, it was a hairpin. Zhuzhang is bamboo; xuzhang is tung. After the grandfather died, the next year was three years after the grandmother. For parents, the eldest son bowed his head. When a senior official offers condolences, he must bow his head even if he is in mourning. A woman bows her head for her husband and the eldest son, but not for the rest. A male head must have the same surname as the head of the family, while a female head must have a different surname. A descendant of a father does not need to mourn for his mother. To be close to relatives, three is five, and five is nine. Kill the upper ones, the lower ones, and the side ones, and the close relatives are complete. The king shall offer sacrifices to the ancestor from whom he was born, and marry him with his ancestor, and establish four temples. The same is true for a concubine's son to be king. The son who is separated from the other is the ancestor, the one who succeeds the other is the clan leader, and the one who succeeds the niece is the minor clan leader. After five generations, the clan leader is moved to the clan leader, and he is the one who succeeds the great-grandfather. Therefore, the ancestor is moved to the upper one, and the clan leader is moved to the lower one. Respecting the ancestors means respecting the clan leader, and respecting the clan leader means respecting the ancestors and the niece. A concubine's son does not offer sacrifices to the ancestors, so that his clan leader is clear. A concubine's son is not beheaded for the eldest son, because he does not inherit the ancestors and the niece. A concubine's son does not offer sacrifices to the deceased or the one who has no descendants, because the deceased or the one who has no descendants is buried with the ancestors. A concubine's son does not offer sacrifices to the niece, so that his clan leader is clear. Love your relatives and respect your elders. The difference between men and women is the greatest of human nature.

Love is always there

When Confucius passed by the side of Mount Tai, a woman was crying at a grave. Confucius stood up and listened to her. He asked Zilu to ask her, "Your crying seems to be deeply worried." She said, "Yes, my uncle died of a tiger in the past, my husband also died there, and now my son has died there too." The Master asked, "Why don't you leave?" She said, "No harsh government." The Master said, "My boy, you know it. Harsh government is more fierce than a tiger."

Embrace every you in the world

When Taifu Xie was sailing eastward, a villain was guiding the boat, sometimes slowing down, sometimes speeding up, sometimes stopping, sometimes waiting, and also letting the boat go sideways, causing it to hit people and crash into the shore. The Duke did not reprimand him at first. People say that you are never angry or happy. I once accompanied my brother on his return from a funeral in the west. It was a rainy day and we were all drunk, so I couldn't do anything about it. The Duke then took the carriage pillar and hit the driver with a very loud and fierce sound. Water is calm and gentle in nature, but it rushes violently when it enters a narrow passage. The local people are well aware that in a remote and isolated place, it is impossible to preserve their purity.

Born to be a master

Some people describe Du Hongzhi as "a man of outstanding integrity and virtue, worthy of praise."
