Tyrant Son-in-law

During Confucius' funeral, someone came from Yan to watch and stayed at Zixia's house. Zixia said, "Is it the way a sage buries a person? It is the way a person buries a sage. What do you think? The Master said in the past, 'I have seen people who seal it like a hall, I have seen people who seal it like a square, I have seen people who cover the summer house, and I have seen people who use an axe.' It is like a hatchet. It is the way the horse mane is sealed. Now, three boards are cut in one day, and it is already sealed. Is it still the Master's intention?" Women do not wear a belt. There is a new offering, like the first day of the month. After the burial, each person takes off his clothes. The pond looks at the heavy flow. When the king ascends the throne, he makes a casket, and paints it once a year and stores it there. The burial, the wedge teeth, the foot decoration, the rice, the decoration, and the curtain hall are all made. The father and brother order the attendants. The king returns to the small bedroom, the big bedroom, the small ancestral hall, the big ancestral hall, the storehouse gate, and the four suburbs. The mourning is not stripped, is it for the offering? Is it for the sacrifice meat? After the funeral, the materials and the funeral utensils are laid out ten days later. The morning offering is at sunrise, and the evening offering is at dawn. In the funeral of parents, there is no time for crying, so that they must know when to return. lian, lianyi yellow lining, hemp edge, kudzu sash, rope sandals without weft, horn ornaments, deer fur, long gowns, gowns and sashes are OK.

Rebirth: A Good Beginning and a Good End

Therefore, if male education is not cultivated, yang affairs cannot be achieved, and it happens to be seen in the sky, the sun is eclipsed; if female obedience is not cultivated, yin affairs cannot be achieved, and it happens to be seen in the sky, the moon is eclipsed. Therefore, when the sun is eclipsed, the emperor wears plain clothes and cultivates the duties of the six officials, and eliminates the yang affairs of the world; when the moon is eclipsed, the queen wears plain clothes and cultivates the duties of the six palaces, and eliminates the yin affairs of the world. Therefore, the emperor and the queen are like the sun and the moon, the yin and the yang, and they need each other to succeed. The emperor cultivates male education, which is the father's way; the queen cultivates female obedience, which is the mother's way. Therefore, it is said that the relationship between the emperor and the empress is like that between a father and his mother. Therefore, to wear mourning clothes for the emperor is the same as to wear mourning clothes for the father; to wear mourning clothes for the empress is the same as to wear mourning clothes for the mother.

Embroidered countryside: mountain man, little girl

, the Xiahou clan valued rank and seniority, the Yin people valued wealth and seniority, and the Zhou people valued relatives and seniority. The Yu, Xia, Yin and Zhou dynasties were the most prosperous kings in the world, and there was no one who neglected his age. Age is the most important thing in the world; it is second only to serving one’s parents. Therefore, when the court has the same rank, seniority is valued. When a man is seventy, he cane him in the court, and when the king asks him, he sits down. When a man is eighty, he does not wait for the court, but when the king asks him, he goes to the court. When walking, he does not walk side by side, but follows him if he is not wrong. When seeing an old man, the cart drivers will make way for him; the gray-haired man does not walk on the road by his position, but the younger brother can reach the road. In the countryside, seniority is used, and the old and the poor are not left behind, the strong do not bully the weak, and the majority do not oppress the minority, and the younger brother can reach the alleys of the state. In the ancient way, people at the age of fifty were not forced to work in the fields, and they were given gifts to honor the elders, and the younger brother could be used to hunt. In the army, seniority is valued for the same rank, and the younger brother can reach the army. Filial piety and brotherhood are spread throughout the court, on the roads, in the alleys of the prefectures, in the hunting grounds, and in the army. The people die for the sake of righteousness, and dare not violate it.
