Mr. Shen, I don't like you that much.

To boil: Beat it, remove the wrinkles, weave the beef with reed cloth, sprinkle cinnamon and ginger on it, and salt it, and eat it dry. The same is true for sheep, and the same is true for elk, deer and roe deer. If you want to make the meat moist, then release it and fry it with minced meat. If you want to make the meat dry, then beat it and eat it.

Seven Years Old Again

Wang Lantian was a late bloomer and was considered a fool by his contemporaries. Prime Minister Wang appointed him as an official because of his status as a Donghaizi. They often gathered together, and whenever the prince spoke, everyone would compete to praise him. Shu sat at the end and said, "The lord is not Yao or Shun, so how can he be right in everything?" The prime minister was very impressed.

The Gu Son-in-law

Yu Zhigong wrote to Huan Wen, saying, "Liu Daosheng is always busy with things, big or small, and is very happy. He is a man of integrity and good humor, and is a good friend. He is truly a good person, and I recommend him to you, so that we can share the hardship together."

The Demon Emperor and His Concubine

The fragrance of the green lotus

Zengzi asked, "When the eldest son of the clan is a scholar and the son of a concubine is a senior official, how should they perform the sacrifice?" Confucius said, "The above animals are offered at the home of the eldest son of the clan. The prayer is: 'The filial son so-and-so will recommend the Jie son so-and-so for his usual duties.' If the eldest son of the clan is guilty and lives in another country, and the son of a concubine is a senior official, the prayer is: 'The filial son so-and-so will ask the Jie son so-and-so to perform his usual duties.' The host does not tire of offering sacrifices, does not travel, does not borrow, does not appease the sacrifice, and does not match. He lays out offerings to the guests, and the guests offer but do not raise them, and do not return the meat. He says to the guests, 'My elder brother, younger brother, and eldest son of the clan are in another country, so I am leaving.'" Zengzi asked, "When the eldest son of the clan is away in another country, can the son of a concubine live without a title offer sacrifices?" Confucius said, "Yes!" Please ask, "How should they offer sacrifices?" Confucius said, "Build an altar in front of the tomb and offer sacrifices at the right time. If the eldest son of the clan dies, inform the tomb and then offer sacrifices at home. When the eldest son of the clan dies, he is called by name without mentioning filial piety, and his body is gone. Ziyou and his followers, who have concubines' sons, offer sacrifices in this way, as if it is righteousness. Today's sacrificers do not put their righteousness first, so they accuse the sacrifice. Zengzi asked: "Is there a corpse in the sacrifice? Is it also okay to offer sacrifices with abstentions?" Confucius said: "When offering sacrifices to the deceased, there must be a corpse, and the corpse must be a grandson. If the grandson is young, let someone hold it. If there is no grandson, it is okay to take someone of the same surname. Offering sacrifices to the deceased must be with abstentions, which means it is not successful. Offering sacrifices to the deceased but without a corpse is a sacrifice of the deceased." Confucius said: "There are Yin abstentions and Yang abstentions." Zengzi asked: "The deceased is not offered sacrifices with abstentions, what is Yin abstentions and Yang abstentions?" Confucius said: "The eldest son dies because of the deceased, and the concubine's son does not become his successor. The auspicious sacrifices are special sacrifices. When offering sacrifices to the deceased, there is no offering of sacrifices, no shavings, no dark wine, and no announcement of the benefits. This is called Yin abstentions. In case of death and death, and those who have no descendants, sacrifices are offered at the home of the eldest son of the clan, with the white of the room in the east room as the sacrifice. This is called Yangyan.

Everyone longs to fly

Chen Zhonggong was the chief of Taiqiu. There was a thief who robbed and killed a rich man, and he arrested him. Before reaching the place of departure, he heard on the road that some people were lying on the grass and refusing to get up, so he turned his carriage back to deal with it. The chief clerk said, "The thief is big, we should suppress him first." Zhonggong said, "How can it be better to kill a rich man than to kill one's own flesh and blood?"
