God's talent must be useful

The brothers Wu Daozhu and Fuzi lived in Danyang County. Later, his mother, children and wife suffered hardships, and they cried day and night. When Si arrived, guests came to pay their respects, wailing and mourning, and passers-by shed tears. Han Kangbo was the prefect of Danyang at the time. His mother Yin was also in the county. Whenever he heard the cries of the two Wus, he would feel sad. He said to Kang Bo: "If you are selecting officials, you should take good care of this man." Kang Bo also knew him very well. Han later became the Minister of Personnel. The Great Wu could not avoid the mourning system, and the Small Wu became very powerful.

Chen Zhuangzi died and went to Lu. The people of Lu did not want to cry. Duke Mu summoned Xianzi and asked him about it. Xianzi said, "In ancient times, the officials did not finish their work. Even if they wanted to cry, how could they cry? Today's officials are involved in the government of China. Even if they want not to cry, how can they not cry? Moreover, I have heard that there are two ways to cry: one is to cry for love, and the other is to cry for fear." The Duke said, "Yes, then what should we do?" Xianzi said, "Please cry in the temples of different surnames." So he cried with the Xianshi. Zhongxian said to Zengzi: "The Xia Dynasty used Mingqi to show that the people were ignorant; the Yin people used sacrificial utensils to show that the people were knowledgeable; the Zhou people used both to show that the people were suspicious." Zengzi said: "Is it not so! Is it not so! Mingqi is a ghost instrument; sacrificial utensils are human instruments; why did the ancient people die for their own parents?" Gongshu Mu's half-brother died, and he asked Ziyou. Ziyou said: "Is it a great merit?" Di Yi's half-brother died, and he asked Zixia. Zixia said: "I have never heard of it before; the people of Lu wear Qisui for him." Di Yi wore Qisui. The Qisui of today is what Di Yi asked.
