Guest Room

When the king's carriage is about to start, the servant will hold the stalk and stand in front of the horse. After the carriage is started, the servant will unfold the reins and serve as the driver, and take the two reins from the upper right, kneel down, hold the stalk and separate the reins, drive it five steps and stand. When the king goes out to the carriage, the servant will hold the reins and hand over the reins. The left and right will make way, and the carriage will drive and the horses will be driven. When it comes to the main gate, the king strokes the servant's hand and looks back, and orders the charioteer to the right; the gates and ditches must be walked.

The days I spent

The king will not kill cattle without reason, the officials will not kill sheep without reason, and the scholars will not kill dogs or pigs without reason. 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. The soothsayer determines the tortoise shell, the historian determines the inkstone, and the king determines the body. The king's chariot is made of lamb and tiger; the officials' chariots are made of deer and leopard; the court chariots are made of deer and leopard. The gentleman always lives in front of the door and sleeps in the east. If there is a strong wind, thunder and heavy rain, he must change his residence, even at night, he must rise, dress and sit. 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.

Encountering a "cold" master

I accidentally caught up with you

When a senior official came to pay his respects, he would say no. When paying respects to someone, he should not be happy on that day. Women should not go beyond the border to pay respects to someone. On the day of paying respects, they should not drink alcohol or eat meat. When paying respects to a funeral, the person must hold the lead. If they follow the coffin to the grave, they should all hold the rope. When a public official pays respects, there must be someone to bow, even if they are friends or people from the state or village. When paying respects, he should say, "My lord will serve you." The host should say, "Come." When the lord sees the coffin on the road, he must send someone to pay his respects. When a senior official is buried, commoners should not receive his respects. If the brother of the wife's father dies, the son should be the main one, and he should not cry or jump. The husband should enter the room on the right, and have someone stand outside the door to inform the visitors. If they are close to him, he should go in and cry. If the father is alive, he should cry in the wife's room; if they are not the father's descendants, he should cry in other rooms. If there is a funeral, if you hear of the death of a distant brother, you should cry in the side room; if there is no side room, you should cry on the right side of the door; if they are from the same country, you should go to cry.

First come, not first served

Lord Lin said to the Chief Clerk Wang: "You are coming here with your collar pulled back. How magnificent and graceful you are!"

Night Embers World

Zai Wo said, "I have heard of the names of ghosts and gods, but I do not know what they are." Confucius said, "Qi is the flourishing of the spirit; Po is the flourishing of the ghost; the combination of ghosts and gods is the ultimate teaching. All living things must die, and after death they must return to the earth: this is called ghosts. Bones and flesh die below, and the shade becomes wild soil; their qi spreads above, becoming bright, scorching, and mournful. This is the essence of all things and the manifestation of the spirit. Based on the essence of things, it is made to the extreme, and the ghosts and gods are made clear, so that they are the example of the people. The hundreds of people fear them, and the ten thousand people obey them." The sage thought that this was not enough, so he built palaces and called them ancestral temples to distinguish between relatives and strangers, and taught the people to return to the ancient times and never forget where they were born. The people obeyed from this, so they listened and were quick. After the two ends were established, they responded with two rituals. When building court affairs, burning meat and vegetables, and showing the light of the sky, to respond to the qi. This is to teach the people to return to the beginning. Offering millet and sorghum, showing respect to the liver, lungs, head and heart, and offering chivalrous wine to the occasion, and adding yuchang wine, is to repay the soul. Teaching the people to love each other and the superiors and subordinates to use affection is the highest etiquette.
