All the Ruan brothers were good at drinking. When Zhongrong and his clan members gathered together for a while, they no longer used ordinary cups to drink, but used large jars to hold wine, and they sat around and drank together. Sometimes a group of pigs came to drink, and they would go straight up and drink together.

The most favored wife of the master

The Master said, "Go back! A gentleman is concealed yet visible; he is not pretentious yet dignified; he is not harsh yet powerful; he does not speak but is trustworthy." The Master said, "A gentleman does not misstep with others, does not mismatch with others, does not mislead with others. Hence, a gentleman's appearance is enough to be feared, his expression is enough to be feared, and his words are enough to be trusted. It is said in Fu Xing, 'Be respectful and cautious, and do not choose what to say.'" The Master said, "The reason why the clothes and the clothes do not follow each other is that we want the people not to offend each other." The Master said, "When offering sacrifices with utmost respect, do not follow them with music; when attending the morning with utmost argument, do not follow them with fatigue." The Master said, "A gentleman is cautious so as to avoid calamity, is sincere so as not to cover up, and is respectful so as to avoid shame." The Master said, "When a gentleman is solemn and respectful, he becomes stronger day by day; when he is idle and careless, he becomes more lazy day by day. A gentleman does not spend a day busying himself, as if it were not the whole day." The Master said, "Be cautious in serving ghosts and gods, and choose a day and a month to meet the king, for fear that the people will not respect him." The Master said, "If you insult me, you will not be afraid of death." The Master said, "No words are not spoken, no manners are not to see each other; to wish that the people would not disrespect each other. The Book of Changes says: ‘The first divination is reported, the second and third divinations are reported, and if it is disrespected, then it is not reported.’”

The Rebellious Prince in the Crystal Palace

The Master said, “The king’s words are like silk, and the output is like a line; the king’s words are like a line, and the output is like a thread. Therefore, the great man does not advocate idle talk. It can be said, but not carried out. A gentleman does not speak; if it is possible to do something, but it is not possible to say it, a gentleman does not do it. Then the people's words will not endanger their actions, and their actions will not endanger their words. The Book of Songs says: "Be prudent and cautious in your behavior, and do not violate etiquette. '" Confucius said: "A gentleman guides people with words and restrains people with actions. Therefore, when speaking, one must consider the end, and when doing things, one must examine the consequences; then the people will be cautious in their words and cautious in their actions. The Book of Songs says: "Be cautious in your words, and respect your dignity. 'The Great Ode says: "The King Wen was solemn and respectful in his behavior. '" Confucius said: "The one who governs the people should not wear two different clothes, and should be calm and regular, so as to unify his people, and then the people's morality will be unified. The Book of Songs says: "Those people in the capital have yellow fox furs, their appearance does not change, their words are orderly, and their actions are Zhou, which is what all the people look forward to. '" Confucius said: "If you can be seen by the superiors and understood, and can be explained and understood by the subordinates, then the ruler will not doubt his ministers, and the ministers will not be confused by their rulers.
