Painting the world

A bad wife comes from a poor mountain and bad water

Emperor Ming asked Zhou Boren: "What is his true height like?" He replied: "I am a thousand-jin tall." The prince laughed at his words. Bo Ren said: "It is better to use a curled-horn ox, which is worse than a coiled ox."

Ever Night

Emperor Ming asked Zhou Boren: "How do you compare to Yu Yuangui?" Zhou Boren replied: "In the secluded world, Liang is not as good as me; in the calm and composed government, I am not as good as Liang."

Fated Love

Yin Jingzhou had some knowledge and wrote a fu, which was similar to Shu Xi's slow play. Yin thought he was talented and said to Wang Gong, "I just saw a new article, it's very interesting." He then took it out of the handkerchief box. When the king read it, Yin couldn't help laughing. After the king had looked at it, he neither laughed nor expressed his likes or dislikes. He just pasted it with his wish. Yin felt lost.

Qi Han

The betrothal gift is seven intermediaries for the upper duke, five intermediaries for the marquis and earl, and three intermediaries for the viscount and the man, so as to distinguish the noble from the humble. When introducing and conveying orders, a gentleman dares not question the one he respects, which is the utmost respect. After three concessions, he can convey the order, enter the temple gate after three concessions, reach the steps after three bows, and ascend after three concessions, so as to show respect and humility.

I have a big devil in my house

Rituals are big and small, obvious and subtle. The big ones cannot be reduced, the small ones cannot be increased, the obvious ones cannot be concealed, and the subtle ones cannot be enlarged. Therefore, the "Jingli" has 300 and the "Quli" has 3,000, and they all lead to one. There is no one who enters the room without going through the door. A gentleman, in terms of rites, should be sincere and respectful, and should be beautiful and elegant and sincere. A gentleman, in terms of rites, should act straight and act accordingly, should kill others with crookedness, should follow the rules and be equal, should follow the rules and be investigated, should collect and spread, should push and advance, should be free and elegant, should be free and not reach, should follow and collect. The rites of the Three Dynasties were the same, and the people followed them. Some were white and some were blue, and Xia created them and Yin followed them. Zhou sat on the corpse and ordered to worship Wu Fang; their rites were also the same, and their ways were the same; Xia stood up the corpse and finished the sacrifice; Yin sat on the corpse. Zhou traveled to pay tribute to six corpses, Zengzi said: "Zhou rites are like the same as the sacrifice!"
