Mythology Era

Zengzi said: "There are three kinds of filial piety: the greatest kind is to honor one's parents, the next is not to humiliate them, and the lowest is to be able to support them." Gong Mingyi asked Zengzi: "Master, can you be filial?" Zengzi said: "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! What a gentleman is filial to his parents is to anticipate their wishes and teach them the way. If you are a person who supports them directly, how can you be filial?" Zengzi said: "The body is the remains of the parents. How dare you treat the remains of the parents with disrespect? If you are not dignified in your residence, you are not filial; if you are not loyal to your lord, you are not filial; if you are not respectful in your office, you are not filial; if you are not good friends, you are not good friends. If one does not believe, it is not filial piety; if one is not brave in battle, it is not filial piety; if one fails to fulfill the five virtues, the disaster will come to one's parents, so how dare one not respect them? Heng Shu Tan Xiang, who tried to recommend him, was not filial piety, but nurturing. What a gentleman means by filial piety is that the people of the country say, "I am lucky to have a son!" This is what is called filial piety. The basic teaching of the masses is filial piety, and its practice is nurturing. Nurturing is possible, but respect is difficult; respect is possible, but peace is difficult; peace is possible, but death is difficult. After the parents are gone, if one conducts oneself carefully and does not bring bad reputation to the parents, it can be said that one can live to the end. A benevolent person is a person who is kind to this; a person who is polite is a person who is kind to this. The righteous is the one who follows this; the righteous is the one who is appropriate to this; the trustworthy is the one who trusts this; the strong is the one who is strong. Pleasure comes from following this, and punishment comes from the opposite. "Zeng Zi said: "Filial piety, if placed, can fill the heaven and earth; it can extend to the four seas and be applied to future generations without day or night. It can be extended to the East Sea, the West Sea, the South Sea, and the North Sea. The Book of Songs says: "From the west to the east, from the south to the north, there is no one who does not obey." This is what it means. "Zeng Zi said: "Trees should be cut down in due season, and birds should be raised. The beasts are killed at the right time. The Master said, "To cut down a tree or kill an beast at the wrong time is not filial piety." There are three kinds of filial piety: minor filial piety is to use strength, medium filial piety is to use labor, and great filial piety is to be diligent. Thinking of kindness and forgetting labor can be said to be using strength. Respecting benevolence and upholding righteousness can be said to be using labor. Giving generously and preparing things can be said to be diligent. When parents love you, you should be grateful and never forget; when parents hate you, you should be afraid but not complain; when parents make mistakes, you should advise them but not disobey; when parents are dead, you must ask for grain from benevolent people to offer them sacrifices. This is called the end of the ritual. "Le Zheng Zichun went down the hall and hurt his foot. He did not go out for several months and still looked worried. The disciples said, "Master, your foot has recovered, but you haven't gone out for several months. Why do you still look worried?" Le Zheng Zichun said, "Your question is good! Your question is good! I heard from Zengzi, and Zengzi heard from the Master that: 'What the heaven gives birth to, the earth raises, no one is greater than.' Parents give birth to their children intact, and children return to their children intact. This can be called filial piety. Not damaging their bodies, not dishonoring their bodies, can be called complete. Therefore, a gentleman dares not forget filial piety even when he walks. Now I have forgotten the way of filial piety, so I look worried. I dare not forget my parents when I take a step, and I dare not forget my parents when I speak. I dare not forget my parents when I take a step, so I don't take shortcuts, I don't go boating, and I dare not take the remains of my parents in danger. I dare not forget my parents when I speak, so I don't say bad words, and I don't say angry words back. Not dishonoring oneself, not humiliating one's parents, can be called filial piety."

Stay or be imprisoned

The Master said: "If the future generations will talk about it, I will not do it. The gentleman follows the way and walks, but gives up halfway, I can't stop. The gentleman follows the middle way, retreats from the world and does not regret it, only the saints can do it. "

My species has changed again.

Ziyun: "Rites are used to clarify doubts and distinguish subtle things, which are used to censor the people. "Therefore, the noble and the humble have different levels, clothes are different, and there are positions in the court, so the people will give way to each other. Confucius said: "There is no two suns in the sky, no two kings on earth, no two masters in the family, and no two superiors. This shows the people that there is a difference between the monarch and the minister." The Spring and Autumn Annals does not refer to the funeral of the king of Chu and Yue, the ritual king does not refer to the sky, and the officials do not refer to the monarch, fearing that the people will be confused. The Book of Songs says: "Why don't we meet each other in the morning? I am still worried about it." Confucius said: "The king does not ride in the same car with people of the same surname, and ride in the same car with people of different surnames but wear different clothes, showing that the people do not dislike it." In this way, the people can still kill their monarch with the same surname.

First love can't be messed with

When Emperor Cheng was in Shitou, Ren Rang killed the Palace Attendant Zhong Ya and the Right Guard General Liu Chao in front of the emperor. The emperor cried and said, "Give me back my ministers!" Rang disobeyed the order, so Chao and Ya were executed. After the matter was settled, Tao Gong had an old relationship with Rang and wanted to pardon him. Xu Liu'er's longing for her mother-in-law is the best, and you gentlemen want to help her. If he thought of his mother-in-law, he would have no choice but to give in to Tao Quan, so he wanted to pardon them both. When the matter was reported to the emperor, he said, "Rang was the one who killed my minister and he cannot be forgiven!" The officials believed that the young master should not be disobeyed, so they executed both men.

Morning and evening thoughts

Minor burial, the host sits in the room, the mistress faces east, and then burial. Final burial, the host jumps, and the mistress does the same. The host exposes his hair and wears hemp, while the lady wears her hair in a bun and wears hemp in the room. The curtains are removed, and men and women carry the corpse to the hall and bow down: the king bows to the guest of state and the ministers and scholars bow to the ministers and ministers at their seats, and bow three times beside the scholar; the lady also bows to the lady of the king in the hall, the wife of the minister and the scholar's wife bows specially, and the lady bows to all the guests in the hall. When the host takes the throne, he wears a sash and dances. In the case of the mother's death, he takes the throne and takes off his clothes, then he offers a sacrifice. The mourners wear fur coats, add a military sash and sash, and dance with the host. In the case of the king's death, the Yu people bring out wooden horns, the Di people bring out pots, and the Yong people bring out tripods. The Sima hangs them, and the officials take the place of mourning. The officials who take the place of mourning do not hang pots, and the scholars who take the place of mourning do not use officials. The king's hall has two candles on the top and two candles on the bottom, the senior officials have one candle on the top and two candles on the bottom, and the scholars have one candle on the top and one candle on the bottom. The guests go out and clear the curtains. Cry for the corpse in the hall, the host is in the east, the outsiders are in the west, and the women face the south. Women do not go down the hall to greet or see off guests, and do not cry when they go down the hall; men do not cry when they see people outside the bedroom. If there is no female host, the male host bows to the female guest inside the bedroom door; if there is no male host, the female host bows to the male guest at the steps below the east. If the child is young, he will be held in mourning clothes, and people will bow for him; if the latter is not present, the person with a title will decline, and the person without a title will bow for him. If it is within the inner chamber, then wait for it; if it is outside the inner chamber, then the funeral can be done. There is no funeral without a successor, but there is no funeral without a master.
