Wang Shu was transferred to be the Minister of the Chancellery and was appointed as such when the matter was settled. Wendu said, "So I should yield to Du Xu." Lantian said, "Do you think I am capable of this?" Wendu said, "Why not? But being able to yield is a good thing, and I am afraid it should not be missed." Lantian said with emotion, "If you say you are capable, why should you yield? People say you are better than me, but you are definitely not as good as me."

Confucius said: "The Way is not far from people. If people practice the Way and distance themselves from others, they cannot be considered the Way. The Book of Songs says: 'Cut the wood, chop the wood, its principle is not far away.' Holding a stick to chop wood, looking at it from a distance, it still seems far away. Therefore, a gentleman governs people by their own way, and stops when he changes. Loyalty and forgiveness are not far from the Way. If you do not want to do it yourself, do not do it to others. There are four ways of a gentleman, and I have not been able to do any of them. What I ask of my son is to serve my father, but I have not been able to do it; what I ask of my minister is to serve my king, but I have not been able to do it; what I ask of my younger brother is to serve my elder brother, but I have not been able to do it; what I ask of my friends is to give them first, but I have not been able to do it. The actions of a mediocre person are cautious; if there is something that is lacking, he dare not not try hard, and if there is something that is more than enough, he dare not use it all; if he speaks, he will act accordingly, and if he acts, he will act accordingly. Why does a gentleman not have to be frank!"

Taishu Guang was very eloquent, and Zhi Zhongzhi was good at calligraphy, and both of them became ministers. Whenever he sat down with the Duke, they would talk extensively, but Zhongzhi could not respond.

Eternal Spiritual Path

When entering the dance, the king holds the dry and the halberd and takes the dance position. The king is on the east side, wearing a crown and holding the dry, and leads his ministers to enjoy the emperor's corpse. Therefore, when the emperor sacrifices, he enjoys it with the world; when the princes sacrifice, he enjoys it with the whole country. The emperor wore a crown and held the pillars of heaven, and led his ministers to entertain the emperor's corpse. This is the meaning of the inner music. There are three levels of sacrifice: among the offerings, nothing is more important than being naked, nothing is more important than singing, and nothing is more important than "Wu Su Ye". This is the way of Zhou. All three ways are used to borrow from the outside to increase the ambition of the gentleman, so they advance and retreat with the ambition; if the ambition is light, it is also light, and if the ambition is heavy, it is also heavy. If one's ambition is light and seeks external weight, even a sage cannot obtain it. Therefore, when a gentleman offers sacrifice, he must sacrifice himself, so as to make it clear that it is heavy. He should follow the etiquette, worship the three levels, and offer it to the emperor's corpse. This is the way of the sage. There is a 馂 in sacrifice; 馂 is the end of the sacrifice, which must be known. Therefore, the ancients said: "A good end is like the beginning." 馂 is just that. Therefore, the ancient gentlemen said: "The corpse is also the remnant of the ghosts and gods, and it is a benevolent method, which can be used to observe politics." Therefore, when the corpse is made, the king and the ministers are made to make it. When the king stands up, the senior officials are made to make it. The ministers are made to make it. The remnants of the king. The senior officials are made to make it. Eight scholars are made to make it. The lower officials are made to make it. The remnants of the nobles. The scholars are made to stand up, each holding their own utensils and go out, and they are laid out under the hall. The officials come in and clear them, and the lower officials are made to make it. The lower officials are made to make it. The way of making it is to change the number of people, so as to distinguish the noble and the humble, and to promote the image of benevolence. Therefore, four 簋黋 of millet are used to show that it is being cultivated in the temple. The temple is a symbol of the inner court. The sacrifice is the greatest benefit. Therefore, if there is a great benefit in the upper part, the benefit will surely reach the lower part, but the upper part will be the first and the lower part will be the last. It is not that the upper part is overburdened and the lower part is cold and hungry. Therefore, if there is a great marsh above, the people will wait for it below, knowing that the benefit will surely come, and they can see it from the taro. Therefore, it is said: "You can observe the politics."

Dad's Artistic Life

Wang Youjun had always looked down on Lantian, but Lantian's praise for him increased in his later years, which made Youjun particularly dissatisfied. Lantian was in danger in Kuaiji, so he stopped at Shanyin to hold funerals. Youjun was in charge of the county and repeatedly expressed his condolences, but to no avail. Later he went to the gate and let in. The host was crying, so he did not go forward but left, humiliating him. As a result, a great rift between them arose. Later, Lantian was approaching Yangzhou. The Right Army was still in the county. When he first got the news, he sent a military officer to the court to request that Kuaiji be divided into Yuezhou. However, the messenger disobeyed the imperial order and was laughed at by the wise men of the time. Lantian secretly ordered his men to count all the illegal activities in the county, and since there was already a rift between them, he ordered them to deal with it themselves. Youjun then claimed illness and left the county, and died in indignation.
