情色五十二

The most spring breeze

When a person dies, he should not be idle for three days, and he should not be relieved for three months. He should be sad for three years, and he should be worried for three years - this is the killing of grace. The sage uses killing to control moderation, and this is why mourning lasts for three years. The wise should not go beyond the limit, and the unworthy should not fail to reach the limit. This is the mean of mourning, and it is what the king always does. The Book of Documents says: "Emperor Gaozong was lenient and did not speak for three years." This is good; all kings should follow this ritual. Why is it good for him alone? It is said: Emperor Gaozong was Wu Ding; Wu Ding was a wise king of the Yin Dynasty. He succeeded the throne and was kind and good at mourning. At this time, the Yin Dynasty declined and revived, and rituals were abolished and revived, so he did it well. Because it was good, it was recorded in the book and praised, so he was called Emperor Gaozong. During the three-year mourning, the king did not speak. The Book of Documents says: "Emperor Gaozong was lenient and did not speak for three years." This is what it means. However, those who say "speaking without culture" refer to the ministers.

The gentleman said: Rituals and music cannot be separated from the body for a moment. Use music to regulate the mind, and the heart of Yi Zhi Zi Liang will arise naturally. The heart of Yi Zhi Zi Liang arises, then happiness, happiness, peace, longevity, longevity, heaven, heaven, God. Heaven is trustworthy without words, and God is majestic without anger. It is the way to regulate the heart with music. To regulate the body with propriety is to be solemn and respectful, and solemn and respectful is to be stern and majestic. If the heart is not harmonious and happy for a moment, then the heart of contempt and deceit will enter it. If the appearance is not solemn and respectful for a moment, then the heart of arrogance will enter it. Therefore, music is what moves the heart; propriety is what moves the outside. When music is extremely harmonious and propriety is extremely smooth, when the inside is harmonious and the outside is smooth, then the people will look at their faces and not argue with them; when they look at their appearance, the people will not be arrogance. Therefore, when virtue moves inwardly, the people will all listen to it; when reason is expressed in the outside, the people will all obey it. Therefore, it is said: To promote the way of propriety and music, to raise and arrange them, there will be no difficulty in the world. Music is what moves the heart; propriety is what moves the outside. Therefore, propriety is the main thing to reduce, and music is the main thing to increase. When propriety is reduced, it will advance, and it will be cultured by advancing; when music is full, it will return, and it will be cultured by returning. If rituals are reduced but not improved, they will be lost; if music is full but not restored, it will be lost; therefore, rituals have rewards and music has replies. If rituals are rewarded, then there will be joy; if music is restored, then there will be peace; the rewards of rituals and the replies of music are the same. Music is joy, which is something that human nature cannot avoid. Music must be expressed in sound and manifested in movement and stillness. This is the way of man. Sound, movement and stillness, the changes of nature and skills, are all here. Therefore, people cannot stand without music, and music cannot stand without form. If it is manifested but not in the way, it cannot stand without chaos. The ancient kings were ashamed of chaos, so they created the sounds of Ya and Song to guide them, so that their sounds were enough to make people happy but not flowing, their texts were enough to discuss but not stop, and their rhythms were enough to move people's good hearts. Not to let the mind be disturbed and evil spirits come in contact, this is the way the ancient kings established music. Therefore, in the ancestral temple, when the ruler and his subjects listen to music together, everyone will be harmonious and respectful; in the clan leaders and the village, when the elders and the young listen to music together, everyone will be harmonious and obedient; in the inner chambers, when fathers and sons and brothers listen to music together, everyone will be harmonious and close. Therefore, music is to determine harmony by examining one thing, to embellish rhythm by comparing things; to form a text by combining rhythm. This is how the fathers and sons, rulers and subjects are united, and the people are close. This is the way the ancient kings established music. Therefore, listening to the sounds of Ya and Song, one's mind will be broadened; holding the halberd and the shield, practicing the bending and stretching, one's appearance will be dignified; performing the omens and grasping the rhythm, the ranks will be straight, and the advance and retreat will be orderly. Therefore, music is the will of heaven and earth, the discipline of harmony, and human nature cannot avoid it. Music is how the ancient kings embellished their joy, and the military halberds were how the ancient kings embellished their anger. Therefore, the joy and anger of the ancient kings were all in harmony. When they were happy, the world was in harmony, and when they were angry, violent and rebellious people were afraid. The way of the ancient kings was full of rituals and music.

Rebirth of aristocratic Cinderella

In this month, he orders the water hunters and fishermen to collect taxes from springs, ponds and lakes. No one dares to encroach on the people, thinking that the emperor is causing resentment among the people. If there is such a person, he will be punished without pardon. If the spring order is carried out in the first month of winter, the frost will not be tight, the earth's air will leak upward, and many people will flee. If the summer order is carried out, there will be many storms in the country, the winter will not be cold, and hibernating insects will come out again. If the autumn order is carried out, snow and frost will not fall at the right time, small soldiers will rise from time to time, and the land will be encroached.

Dust of the Past

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.

Tears of Disaster

There are always surprises

The sacrifice of You Yu clan valued the use of Qi; bloody and burning sacrifices use Qi. The Yin people valued sound, and before the smell is formed, they cleansed the sound; after three pieces of music, they went out to welcome the sacrifice. The sound is used to announce between heaven and earth. The Zhou people valued smell, and used chang to pour the smell, and yu combined chang; the smell, yin reaches the deep spring. Pour it with guizhang, using jade Qi. After pouring, then welcome the sacrifice, which brings in the Yin Qi. Xiao combined millet and sorghum; the smell, yang reaches the wall and the house. Therefore, after the offering, then burn Xiao and tanxiang. In all sacrifices, be careful of these. The soul and Qi return to the sky, and the body and spirit return to the earth. Therefore, sacrifice is to seek the meaning of Yin and Yang. The Yin people first sought the yang, while the Zhou people first sought the yin. The emperor ordered the prayer in the room, the corpse was seated in the hall, the sacrifice was used in the courtyard, and the head was raised in the room. When offering a direct sacrifice, the prayer was made to the master; when offering a request, the prayer was made to the 祊. I don’t know where the gods are, is it there? Is it here? Or is it to people far away? When offering sacrifices to the 祊, do you still say that you seek from people far away? 祊 means 逞, and 肵 means respect. Fu is good fortune, and 首 is straight. 相 means to feast. 嘏 means long and big. 尸 means to display. Hair and blood are to report the complete things in the dark. Those who report the complete things in the dark value the pure way. Blood sacrifice is to enrich the qi. Sacrifice the lungs, liver, and heart to value the qi master. Sacrifice millet and add lungs, sacrifice Qi and add clear water to report to the yin. Take the 膟菓 and burn it, raise the head to report to the yang. Clear water and Qi are to value newness.凡涚, which means new. It is called clear water, because the host has cleaned this water. The lord bowed twice, knelt down, and cut his flesh with his own body, which shows the utmost respect. The utmost respect is to show respect. Bowing means to show respect; knelt down means to show respect; and bare-chested means to show respect to the utmost. In offering sacrifices, the filial grandson and filial son are called by their righteousness; the great-grandson is called the state. In offering sacrifices, the host should show his respect and do his best, without yielding. Sacrificing with fishy and scorched meat, how can he know what the gods are eating? The host should show his respect to the utmost. He raised the jiao of the jar and ordered the corpse to be properly prepared. In ancient times, the corpse stood when there was nothing to do, and sat down when there was something to do. The corpse is the image of the god. Zhu means to give orders. The cup is made of straw, which means to make it clear. The wine is made to be clear, and the juice is offered to be made to be clear. It is like making the wine clear and the wine is made to be clear. There are prayers, responses, and excuses in sacrifice. The mystery of Qi is to think deeply in the dark. Therefore, a gentleman must see the one he is sacrificing for three days.
