A short seat can ruin your life

Burning wood in Taitan is a sacrifice to heaven; burying in Taizhe is a sacrifice to the earth; using a calf. Burying a young cattle in Taizhao is a sacrifice to the time; being close to the Kantan is a sacrifice to cold and heat. The royal palace is a sacrifice to the sun; the night light is a sacrifice to the moon; the Youzong is a sacrifice to the stars; the Yuzong is a sacrifice to floods and droughts; the four Kantans are sacrifices to the four seasons. Mountains, forests, rivers, valleys, hills, clouds that can become wind and rain, and monsters that can be seen are all called gods. Those who have the whole world offer sacrifices to all gods. The princes offer sacrifices to the gods in their own lands, but not if they lose their lands.

Trial marriage husband, to give strength

The betrothal gift is seven intermediaries for the upper duke, five intermediaries for the marquis and earl, and three intermediaries for the viscount and the man, so as to distinguish the noble from the humble. When introducing and conveying orders, a gentleman dares not question the one he respects, which is the utmost respect. After three concessions, he can convey the order, enter the temple gate after three concessions, reach the steps after three bows, and ascend after three concessions, so as to show respect and humility.

Seemingly ambiguous

Wang Zijing asked Master Xie, "How is Jiabin compared to Daoji?" He replied, "Daoji is sincere in copying and summarizing the clear enlightenment, so Jiabin is superior."

The Cold Butterfly

Yuan Boyan finished writing biographies of famous scholars and met Xie Gong. The Duke laughed and said, "I once told you about the affairs of Jiangbei, but I just pretended to be cunning! Yanbo then wrote it down with chopsticks."

All the big guys in the world are my disciples

The best little doctor

Xie Gong had the ambition to return to Dongshan at first, but later he received strict orders repeatedly and had no choice but to join Huan Gong's army. At that time, people presented medicinal herbs to Duke Huan, among which was Polygala tenuifolia. The Duke took it and asked Xie, "This medicine is also called 'Xiaocao'. Why does the same thing have two names?" Xie did not answer immediately. Hao Long was sitting there at the time, and he answered immediately, "This is very easy to understand: when it is inside, it is Polygala tenuifolia, and when it is outside, it is small grass." Xie looked very ashamed. Duke Huan thanked him with a smile and said, "General Hao's mistake is not bad, and he is very wise."
