Beauty and Elegance

When riding a chariot, go out with the blade first and go in with the blade behind. The army should be on the left and the soldiers should be on the right. The host should be respectful to guests, be respectful at sacrifices, be sad at funerals, and be happy at meetings. The army should be prepared for danger and hide their intentions.

The Evil President's Playful Wife

After Xie Wan Shouchun was defeated, Jianwen asked Xi Chao: "Wan was defeated, why did you lose the feelings of your soldiers?" Chao said: "He wanted to distinguish between the wise and the brave because of his nature of leading by example."

Too lazy to stir up dust

At first, Mars entered Taiwei and then moved to the west of the abandoned Hai. After Jianwen ascended the throne, he entered Taiwei again, which the emperor disliked. At that time, Xi Chao was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. He summoned Chao and said, "The Mandate of Heaven is short, so there is no need to calculate. Shouldn't the government keep away from recent events?" Chao said, "The Grand Marshal is currently strengthening the borders and protecting the country. He must not have such concerns. I, your Majesty, will guarantee it with my hundreds of people." The emperor then recited a poem by Yu Zhongchu, "Ambitious men grieve over the dangers of the court, loyal ministers mourn over the humiliation of their lord." His voice was very mournful. When Xi was granted leave to return to the east, the emperor said, "I pay my respects to you, my lord. The affairs of our country have come to this point! As a result, I am unable to protect the country with the right principles and to take precautions against potential disasters. I feel deeply ashamed and sighed. How can I express this?" He burst into tears.

Traveling through a life of wealth

The destiny of heaven is called nature, following nature is called the way, and cultivating the way is called teaching. The way cannot be separated for a moment, and it is not the way if it can be separated. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious about what he does not see and fearful of what he does not hear. Nothing is more hidden than the hidden, and nothing is more obvious than the subtle, so the gentleman is cautious when he is alone. When joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are not expressed, it is called the middle; when they are expressed in moderation, it is called harmony; the middle is the great foundation of the world; harmony is the way of the world. When the middle and harmony are achieved, heaven and earth are in their proper places, and all things are nurtured.

Leisurely Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Mr. Sheng, please come to my bowl.

When Liu Yu and his brothers were young, they were hated by Wang Kai, who once summoned them to stay overnight, intending to get rid of them silently. He ordered them to bury him in a mortar, and after that he would be harmed. Shi Chong was on good terms with Yu and Kun. When he heard that they were staying with Kai, he knew that something might happen, so he went to Kai at night to ask where the two Lius were. Kai had no choice but to hide the truth, and answered, "I am sleeping in the back room." Shi then went straight in, led him out, and left in the same carriage. As the saying goes: "Young man, why do you so easily accept someone's accommodation?"
