Morality, benevolence and righteousness cannot be achieved without propriety, and teaching and correcting customs cannot be achieved without propriety. When resolving disputes, do not make the decision without proper etiquette. The relationship between the ruler and his subjects, father and son, and brothers cannot be determined without propriety. When an official studies or serves a teacher, he should not be close to him without proper etiquette.

Only animals are so undisciplined that fathers and sons live together. Therefore, the sages created rituals to teach people. Teach people to be polite and know how to distinguish themselves from animals.

The king first held his hand and said, "If you succeed, you should use me to govern Jingzhou." Then the king forgot about him and thought he was Nanjun. After the king was defeated, Emperor Ming captured Lang and wanted to kill him. The emperor soon died and he was saved. Later, he served as one of the three highest officials in the country and appointed dozens of people as his subordinates. These people were unknown at the time, but were later recognized and appreciated, and were praised for their ability to recognize people.

Therefore, the emperor regulates the princes, making small betrothals every year and big betrothals every three years, and they are strict with each other. If the envoys make a mistake in the betrothal, the lord will not personally entertain them. This is to shame and encourage them. The princes are strict with each other, so they will not invade each other externally and bully each other internally. This is why the emperor nurtures the princes, so that the army is not used and the princes can be just.
