The Supreme God in the Mortal World

Do not pull the coming, do not report the past, do not blaspheme the gods, do not follow the wrong, do not predict the unknown. Scholars rely on virtue and enjoy art; workers rely on law and enjoy persuasion. Do not criticize clothes and tools, do not be pedantic of words. The beauty of words is solemn and majestic; the beauty of the court is full of people; the beauty of sacrifice is orderly and majestic; the beauty of carriages and horses is not timid; the beauty of phoenixes is solemn and peaceful. Ask the king's sons, the elder one says: "He can follow the affairs of the state"; the younger one says: "He can control" or "He can't control". When asked about the age of a senior official's son, if he is older, he will say, "He can follow the music of the musicians"; if he is younger, he will say, "He can be correct in the music of the musicians" but he cannot be correct in the music of the musicians". When asked about the age of a scholar's son, if he is older, he will say, "He can plough the fields"; if he is younger, he will say, "He can carry firewood" but he cannot carry firewood. He cannot walk when holding a jade or tortoise shell, nor when he is in the hall or on the city wall. He cannot walk in a military carriage; the intermediary cannot bow.

A Real Man in the Northern Song Dynasty

The eldest lady's peerless martial god

The Son of Heaven is equal to Heaven and Earth. Therefore, virtue matches heaven and earth, and benefits all things. It is as bright as the sun and the moon, illuminating the four seas without leaving out the small. In the court, the order of benevolence, holiness, propriety and righteousness is followed; in banquets, the music of Ya and Song is listened to; when walking, there is the sound of rings and pendants; when riding in a car, there is the sound of phoenixes and harmonious birds. There is propriety in residence, and there is moderation in advance and retreat. All officials are in their proper place, and all things are in their proper order. The Book of Songs says: "A virtuous man and a gentleman, his etiquette is not wrong. If his etiquette is not wrong, it will be the right way for the four countries." This is what it means. When the people are pleased with orders and decrees, it is called harmony; when the upper and lower are close to each other, it is called benevolence; when the people get what they want without asking for it, it is called trust; and when the harm of heaven and earth is removed, it is called righteousness. Righteousness and trustworthiness, harmony and benevolence are the tools of a hegemon. If there is the intention to govern the people but there is no tool, it will not work.

My Doctor Wife

When the emperor and the princes have nothing to do, they have three fields a year: one for dry beans, two for guests, and three for the king's kitchen. If you do not farm when you have nothing to do, it is disrespectful; if you farm without courtesy, it is a waste of nature. The emperor does not surround the country, and the princes do not hide their flocks. When the emperor is killed, the great chariots are sent down; when the princes are killed, the small chariots are sent down; when the officials are killed, the assistant chariots are stopped. When the assistant chariots are stopped, the people can go hunting. The otter sacrifices fish, and then the hunters go into the marshes. The jackal sacrifices animals, and then they go hunting. The doves transform into eagles, and then they set up nets. When the grass and trees fall, they go into the mountains and forests. When insects are not hibernating, do not burn the fields, do not kill deer, do not lay eggs, do not kill fetuses, do not kill young, and do not cover nests.
