The rules: The emperor uses "Zou Yu" as the rules; the princes use "Li Shou" as the rules; the ministers use "Cai Ping" as the rules; and the scholars use "Cai Fan" as the rules. "Zou Yu" means that the music officials are prepared, "Li Shou" means that the music meets at the right time, "Cai Ping" means that the music follows the law, and "Cai Fan" means that the music does not fail to perform its duties. Therefore, the emperor uses the preparation of officials as the rules; the princes use the right time to meet the emperor as the rules; the ministers use the law as the rules; and the scholars use the not failing to perform their duties as the rules. Therefore, if you are clear about your intentions and do not make mistakes, you will achieve success and establish your virtue.

The Xia emperor was buried on the east steps, which was like being in the east; the Yin people buried between the two pillars, which meant that they were flanked by the host and the guest; the Zhou people buried on the west steps, which was like being the guest. And I am a Yin person. Last night, I dreamed that I was sitting and lying between the two pillars. If a wise king does not rise, who in the world can respect me? I am about to die." He died after seven days of illness.
