When Zhuge Liang camped at Weibin, Guanzhong was shaken. Emperor Ming of Wei was deeply afraid that King Xuan of Jin would go to war, so he sent Xin Pi as the military commander. King Xuan and Liang set up their camps across the Wei River. Liang devised all kinds of enticements and schemes. King Xuan was indeed very angry and was about to respond with a large army. Liang sent spies to investigate, and they reported: "There is an old man who resolutely holds a yellow axe and stands at the gate of the army. The army cannot leave." Liang said: "This must be Xin Zuozhi."

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and does not step on anything that has blood and flesh. If it does not rain in August, the king will not rise. If the year is not auspicious, the king will wear cloth and fold his head, and will not rent the gates and bridges. The mountains and lakes will be built but no taxes will be levied. If there is no land construction, the officials will not build carriages and horses.

Wash his hands five times a day, bathe with millet and wash his head with sorghum, comb his hair with a cypress comb, and comb his hair with an ivory comb. He offers food and food, and then the workers start to sing. When bathing, use two towels, the upper one is gauze and the lower one is silk. Take out the scoop, step on the Kuai mat, use the soup, step on the cattail mat, wear cloth to light the body, and then drink. When going to the official office, stay overnight and take precautions, sleep outside, bathe, the historian presents the ivory tablet, writes and thinks about the order; after dressing, practice the appearance and observe the jade sound, then go out, bow to the private court, and shine, and get on the car. The emperor is upright, which is upright in the world. The princes are bent in front and straight in the back, giving way to the emperor. The officials are bent in front and back, giving way to everything.
