Samsara

There was a great historian in Wei named Liu Zhuang who was ill. The Duke said, "If the illness worsens, you must inform me even if you are supposed to offer sacrifices." The Duke bowed twice and asked for the corpse, saying, "There is a minister named Liu Zhuang, who is not my minister, but a minister of the state. I heard that he died, so I will go." He went without taking off his mourning clothes, and then wrapped him up. He gave him the name of the Qiu family in the city and the name of the Pan family in the county, and put it in the coffin, saying, "My descendants will be there for generations, and there will be no change."

Our youth corner

The concubine's son does not offer sacrifices to make his clan clear. The concubine's son cannot be the eldest son for three years, and he cannot succeed the ancestor. The ancestor is the ancestor, the successor is the clan, and the successor is the minor clan. There are clans that will not be moved for a hundred generations, and the clans that will be moved after five generations. Those who will not be moved for a hundred generations are the descendants of the concubine's son; the clan that succeeds the concubine's son is the one who will not be moved for a hundred generations. The one who succeeds the great ancestor is the one who moves after five generations. Respecting the ancestors means respecting the clan. Respecting the clan is the meaning of respecting the ancestors. There are those who have a small clan but no big clan, those who have a big clan but no small clan, and those who have no clan but no one to be the clan, such as the princes. The princes have the way of clan: the princes are the common people of the scholars and officials, and the princes are the way of clan. The relatives are not transferred, and the relatives are the relatives.

Rebirth has a space

As for a man, he sits like a corpse and stands like a monk. Etiquette should be in accordance with what is appropriate, and officials should follow customs. Rituals are used to determine closeness and distance, resolve suspicions, distinguish similarities and differences, and make clear right and wrong. Etiquette means not speaking ill of others and not refusing expenses. Etiquette means not exceeding the limit, not being invasive, and not being too intimate. Cultivating oneself and putting one's words into practice is called good deeds. Practicing, cultivating, and speaking the truth are the essence of etiquette. We hear about learning from others, not about learning from others. Etiquette is learned from those who come to learn, not from those who go to teach.

A perfect match

The Son of Heaven is equal to Heaven and Earth. Therefore, virtue matches heaven and earth, and benefits all things. It is as bright as the sun and the moon, illuminating the four seas without leaving out the small. In the court, the order of benevolence, holiness, propriety and righteousness is followed; in banquets, the music of Ya and Song is listened to; when walking, there is the sound of rings and pendants; when riding in a car, there is the sound of phoenixes and harmonious birds. There is propriety in residence, and there is moderation in advance and retreat. All officials are in their proper place, and all things are in their proper order. The Book of Songs says: "A virtuous man and a gentleman, his etiquette is not wrong. If his etiquette is not wrong, it will be the right way for the four countries." This is what it means. When the people are pleased with orders and decrees, it is called harmony; when the upper and lower are close to each other, it is called benevolence; when the people get what they want without asking for it, it is called trust; and when the harm of heaven and earth is removed, it is called righteousness. Righteousness and trustworthiness, harmony and benevolence are the tools of a hegemon. If there is the intention to govern the people but there is no tool, it will not work.

Omiya Elegy

Is there a male protagonist like me in your novel?

Guo Huai was the governor of Guanzhong. He was very popular among the people and also had many military achievements. Huai's wife was the sister of Grand Commandant Wang Ling, and she should be executed together with Wang Ling for the crime. The envoy's call is very urgent, and the Huai envoy should pack up and set out soon. The civil and military officials of the prefecture as well as the common people urged Huai to raise an army, but Huai refused. When the time came, he sent his wife away, and tens of thousands of people cried and shouted. After walking for dozens of miles, Huai ordered his men to chase the lady back, and then all the civil and military officials rushed forward as if they were protecting their own lives. When he arrived, Huai wrote to Emperor Xuan, saying: "The five sons are in sorrow and miss their mother. If their mother dies, there will be no five sons. If the five sons die, there will be no Huai either." Emperor Xuan responded with a letter and specifically pardoned Huai's wife.
