One person's strength

In the past, Confucius and the wax guests were together. After the event, they went out to the pavilion and sighed. Confucius sighed, probably sighing for Lu. Yan Yan, who was standing by, said: "Why do you sigh, gentleman?" Confucius said: "The practice of the great way, with the heroes of the three dynasties, I have not yet reached them, but I have the ambition to do so." The practice of the great way makes the world public. Select the virtuous and the capable, talk about trust and cultivate harmony, so that people not only love their relatives and their children, but also make sure that the old have a place to live, the strong have a place to work, the young have a place to grow, and the widowed, lonely, disabled and sick are all taken care of. Men have their share, and women have their home. Goods are not worth throwing away, so they don't have to keep them for themselves; strength is not worth using, so it doesn't have to be used for oneself. Therefore, plots are closed and not raised, thefts and riots are not committed, and the outer doors are not closed. This is called the Great Harmony. Now that the great way is hidden, the world is like a family. Everyone loves his relatives and his children. He uses his goods and strength for himself. The great people follow the etiquette of the generations. The city walls, ditches and ponds are used as a defense, and the etiquette and righteousness are used as a discipline; to correct the relationship between the ruler and the minister, to be loyal to the father and son, to be harmonious with the brothers, to be harmonious with the husband and wife, to establish the system, to establish the fields, to be virtuous, brave and knowledgeable, and to take credit for one's achievements. Therefore, plots are made from this, and wars are raised from this. Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, King Cheng, and Duke Zhou were selected from this. There is no one among these six gentlemen who does not observe etiquette. To show the righteousness, to test the trustworthiness, to show the faults, to punish the kind and to encourage the yielding, to show the people that there is a constant. If there are those who do not follow this, those in power will leave, and the people will think it is a disaster. This is called the well-off society. Yan Yan asked again, "Is this why etiquette is so urgent?" Confucius said, "Etiquette is what the ancient kings used to follow the way of heaven and to govern people's emotions. Therefore, those who lose it die, and those who obtain it live. The Book of Songs says, 'The mouse has a body, but man is without etiquette; if man is without etiquette, why don't he die quickly?' Therefore, etiquette must be based on heaven, rubbed on earth, listed in ghosts and gods, and applied to funerals, sacrifices, archery, weddings, and marriages. Therefore, the sages showed it with etiquette, so that the world and the country can be rectified." Yan Yan asked again, "Master, what you said about rituals, can I hear them?" Confucius said, "I wanted to observe the way of Xia, so I went to Qi, but it was not enough to prove it; I got the time of Xia there. I wanted to observe the way of Yin, so I went to Song, but it was not enough to prove it; I got Kun and Gan there. The meaning of Kun and Gan, the same as the time of Xia, I observe it in this way." At the beginning of rituals, they started with food and drink. They burned millet and ate pork, stained the cups and drank from them, beat drums with sticks, as if they could show respect to ghosts and gods. When they died, they climbed up the roof and cried, saying, "Gao! So-and-so is back." Then they ate fishy food and ate sorghum. Therefore, when the sky looks up and the earth hides, the body and soul descend, and the spirit is above. Therefore, the dead head north and the living face south, all in accordance with the beginning. In the past, the ancient kings did not have palaces. In winter, they lived in caves and in summer, they lived in nests. Before the invention of fire, people ate the fruits of plants and trees, the flesh of birds and beasts, drank their blood, and ate their fur. Before there was hemp and silk, people wore feathers and skins. Later, when sages came into being, they improved the benefits of fire, molded gold and mixed earth to build terraces, palaces, windows and doors, and used them for cannon fire, burning, roasting and roasting to make sweet and cheese; processed hemp and silk to make cloth, to nourish the body and send off the dead, to serve ghosts, gods and God, all in accordance with the beginning of the year. Therefore, dark wine is in the room, sweet wine is in the door, rice and milk are in the hall, and clear wine is in the room. They display their sacrifices, prepare their tripods and sacrificial vessels, arrange their zithers, pipes, chimes, bells and drums, and perform their prayers to bring down the gods and ancestors. This is to rectify the relationship between the ruler and the minister, to strengthen the father and son, to reconcile brothers, to make the upper and lower equal, and to make husband and wife have something. This is called receiving the blessing from heaven. Make a prayer, offer dark wine as sacrifice, offer blood and hair, smear the sacrificial table, prepare the meat, and place the feast on the table. Use thin cloth to cover the table, cover the washed silk, offer wine and wine, offer roasted meat, and the king and his wife offer sacrifices to cheer the souls. This is called Hemo. Then retreat and Heheng, and feel the dogs, pigs, cattle and sheep, and fill the food containers, dishes, and soups. Pray with filial piety and sing with kindness. This is called Daxiang. This is the great achievement of ritual.

Rebirth: The Struggle of the Eighth Lady

Yin Zhongkan's father was ill and suffered from palpitations. He heard ants moving under his bed and thought it was a fight between bulls. Xiaowu did not know that it was the Duke of Yin, so he asked Zhongkan, "Is there a Yin who is so sick?" Zhongkan burst into tears and stood up, saying, "I only know how to advance and retreat."

Sincerity is self-realization, and Tao is self-Tao. Sincerity is the beginning and end of things, without sincerity, there is nothing. Therefore, a gentleman values ​​sincerity. Sincerity is not only for self-realization, but also for the realization of things. To perfect oneself is benevolence; to perfect things is knowledge. It is the virtue of nature, and it is the way to combine the outside and the inside, so it is appropriate to take measures at the right time.

The Favored Maid of the Golden Age

I became Truman in the city

The Husband's Scheme

Confucius said: "How sad! I see the way of Zhou, and You and Li hurt it. Why should I leave Lu? Lu's suburban sacrifice is not rite, and Zhou Gong is in decline! Qi's suburban sacrifice is Yu's, and Song's suburban sacrifice is Qi's. This is the emperor's duty. Therefore, the emperor sacrifices to heaven and earth, and the princes sacrifice to the gods and grain." Zhu and Ku dare not change the old customs, which is called Dahuan. The words of the Zhugu are hidden in the ancestral priests and the shamans. This is not rite, and this is called the seclusion of the state. The wine cups and the corpses of the monarch are not rite, and this is called usurping the monarch. The crowns, hats, and weapons are hidden in private homes. This is not rite, and this is called threatening the monarch. The officials are in their official positions, but the sacrificial utensils are not used, and the music is all prepared. This is not rite, and this is called disordering the state. Therefore, those who serve the duke are called ministers, and those who serve the family are called servants. During the three-year mourning period, those who are married to the new bride are not allowed to serve for a period of time. Wearing mourning clothes to enter the court and living with the family servants is not rite, and this is called the monarch and the ministers are in the same country. Therefore, the emperor has land to live with his descendants, the princes have countries to live with their descendants, and the officials have jade to live with their descendants. This is called the system. Therefore, when the emperor visits the princes, he must leave the ancestral court and not enter according to the rites. This is called the emperor breaking the law and disordering the rules. The princes enter the ministers' houses without visiting the illness or condolences. This is called the monarch and the ministers are joking. Therefore, ritual is the great power of the ruler. It is used to distinguish between the obvious and the subtle, to consult ghosts and gods, to examine the system, to distinguish between benevolence and righteousness, so as to govern the country and keep the ruler safe. Therefore, if the government is not right, the ruler's position will be in danger; if the ruler's position is in danger, the ministers will betray him and the minor officials will steal. If the punishment is strict and the customs are corrupt, the law will be inconsistent; if the law is inconsistent, the ritual will be out of order; if the ritual is out of order, the scholars will not serve him. If the punishment is strict and the customs are corrupt, the people will not return to him, which is called a flaw in the country. Therefore, the government is the way for the ruler to hide himself. Therefore, the government must be based on heaven, and the destiny is sent down from heaven. Descending from the gods to the community is called the earth, descending from the ancestral temple is called benevolence and righteousness, descending from the mountains and rivers is called the creation, and descending from the five sacrifices is called the system. This is the solidity of the sage's self-concealment. Therefore, the sage participates in heaven and earth and in ghosts and gods to govern the country. To let people live in what they should be is the order of ritual; to enjoy what they should enjoy is the governance of the people. Therefore, the sky creates the time and the earth creates wealth; the father of a man is born and the teacher teaches him: the four things, the ruler uses them correctly, so the ruler stands in a place where there is no fault. Therefore, the ruler is what he should know, not what he should know people. The ruler is what he should raise, not what he should raise people. The ruler is what he should serve, not what he should serve people. Therefore, if the ruler knows people, he will make mistakes; if he raises people, he will be insufficient; if he serves people, he will lose his position. Therefore, the people should govern themselves, raise the ruler to make themselves safe, and serve the ruler to make themselves famous. Therefore, the rites are well-developed and the divisions are determined. Everyone loves death and worries about life. Therefore, use people's knowledge to get rid of their deceit, use people's courage to get rid of their anger, and use people's kindness to get rid of their greed. Therefore, when the country is in trouble, the ruler's death for the country is called righteousness, and the death of the ministers for the ancestral temple is called change. Therefore, the sage who treats the world as one family and China as one person is not just intentional, but must know the situation, avoid the righteousness, understand the benefits, and understand the dangers, and then he can do it. What is human nature? The seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire are acquired without learning. What is human righteousness? The ten emotions of fatherly kindness, filial piety of son, goodness of elder brother, obedience of younger brother, righteousness of husband, obedience of wife, kindness of elder brother, obedience of younger brother, benevolence of ruler, and loyalty of minister are called human righteousness. To be trustworthy and harmonious is called human benefit. To fight and kill is called human trouble. Therefore, the sage governs the seven emotions of man and cultivates the ten righteousness, to be trustworthy and harmonious, to respect courtesy and give way, and to get rid of fighting. How can we govern without propriety? Food, sex, and love are the greatest desires of man; death, poverty, and misery are the greatest evils of man. Therefore, desire and evil are the great ends of the heart. Man hides his heart and cannot be measured; beauty and ugliness are in his heart and cannot be seen. If we want to understand them all, how can we do without propriety? Therefore, man is the virtue of heaven and earth, the interaction of yin and yang, the meeting of ghosts and gods, and the elegance of the five elements. Therefore, the sky holds the sun and hangs the sun and stars; the earth holds the yin and penetrates the mountains and rivers. The five elements are spread in the four seasons, and the moon is born after harmony. Therefore, three and five are full, and three and five are empty. The movement of the five elements is to exhaust each other. The five elements, four seasons, and twelve months are the basis of each other; the five sounds, six rhythms, and twelve pipes are the palaces of each other; the five flavors, six harmonies, and twelve foods are the essence of each other; the five colors, six chapters, and twelve clothes are the essence of each other. Therefore, people are the heart of heaven and earth, the beginning of the five elements, and they are born by eating, taste, sound, and color. Therefore, when a sage sets an example, he must take heaven and earth as the basis, yin and yang as the beginning, the four seasons as the handle, the sun and stars as the record, the moon as the measure, ghosts and gods as the followers, the five elements as the essence, etiquette and righteousness as the tool, human feelings as the field, and the four spirits as the livestock. With heaven and earth as the basis, things can be lifted; with yin and yang as the ends, feelings can be seen; with the four seasons as the handle, stories can be used to persuade; with the sun and stars as the record, stories can be listed; with the moon as the measure, achievements have skills; with ghosts and gods as the followers, stories have rules; with the five elements as the essence, stories can be repeated; with rites and righteousness as the tools, stories have examinations; with human nature as the field, people think it is profound; with the four spirits as livestock, food and drink have rules.
