Confucius said, "If you are respectful, you can use the sacrificial vessels. Therefore, a gentleman does not abandon etiquette for cheapness, nor does he abandon etiquette for beauty." Therefore, the etiquette of eating is: if the host personally presents the food, the guest will offer the food; if the host does not personally present the food, the guest will not offer the food. Therefore, if a gentleman is not polite, he will not eat even if the food is beautiful. The Book of Changes says, "The eastern neighbor slaughters a cow, but it is not as good as the western neighbor's sacrifice, which actually benefits him." The Book of Songs says, "After being drunk with wine, after being full with virtue." This shows the people, the people still compete for profit and forget righteousness. Confucius said, "Seven days of abstention, three days of preparation, carry one person to make a corpse, and those who pass by will run away, to teach respect." Li wine is in the room, Di wine is in the hall, and Cheng wine is below, to show the people not to be licentious. The corpse drinks three times, and the guests drink once, to show the people that there is a hierarchy. Because of the wine and meat, the clans gather together to teach the people to be harmonious. Therefore, the upper hall observes the room, and the lower hall observes the upper. The Book of Songs says: "The etiquette is complete, and the laughter is complete."

My Undercover Life

The sleeves should be round to correspond to the rule; the curved skirt should be like a square to correspond to the square; the rope should be carried to the ankle to correspond to the straightness; the lower part should be even like a scale to correspond to the balance. Therefore, the rule is to raise the hand for tolerance; the rope is carried to hold the square to straighten the politics and square the righteousness. Therefore, the Book of Changes says: Kun, "The movement of six two is straight and square." The lower part should be even like a scale to calm the mind and calm the heart. The five methods have been applied, so the sages follow them. Therefore, the rule is taken for its impartiality, the rope is taken for its straightness, and the scale is taken for its balance, so the ancient kings valued them. Therefore, he can be a civil servant, a military officer, a prime minister, or a military commander. He is perfect and not wasteful, which is the next best thing in clothing.

The emperor's altars and grains are all large sacrifices, while the altars and grains of the princes are all small sacrifices. The sacrifices of the officials and scholars to the ancestral temples are offered if they have land, and offered if they do not have land. The common people offer leeks in spring, wheat in summer, millet in autumn, and rice in winter. Leeks are offered with eggs, wheat with fish, millet with pigs, and rice with geese. The cattle used to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth have cocoons and chestnuts in their horns; the cattle used to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temples have horns with handles; the cattle used to offer sacrifices to guests have horns with rulers. The princes shall not kill cattle without reason, the great officials shall not kill sheep without reason, the scholars shall not kill dogs and pigs without reason, and the common people shall not eat delicacies without reason. The common people shall not eat more delicacies than animals, the clothes for banquets shall not exceed the clothes for offering sacrifices, and the sleeping places shall not exceed the temples.

One day at a time

Han Kang's aunt Yin followed Sun Huizhi to Hengyang and met Huan Nanjun in Heluzhou. Bian Ju was his grandson and came to inquire about his life from time to time. He said to Ju: "If I don't die, I will see this guy become a thief for the second time!" After several years in Hengyang, Huizhi encountered the disaster of Huan Jingzhen. Yin stroked his corpse and cried, "Your father was dismissed from Yuzhang, and the conscription letter was sent out in the morning and evening. You left the county for several years, and you were unable to move because of things, and then you were caught in the disaster. What else can I say?"

The Unparalleled Son-in-Law

The emperor's jade moss has twelve tassels, which extend from front to back and are used for offering sacrifices. When the sun rises, he looks at it outside the east gate. When the sun rises, he looks at it outside the south gate. In the intercalary month, he closes the left door and stands in the middle. He wears a leather hat and looks at the sun. Then he eats. At noon, he eats. He plays music and eats. On the day, there is a small amount of food, on the first month, there is a big amount of food; five drinks: water, syrup, wine, sweet wine, and wine. At the end of the meal, the emperor sits in a dark posture. When he moves, the left historian records it, and when he speaks, the right historian records it, and the blind man drives the blind table up and down. If the year is not auspicious, the emperor will wear plain clothes, ride a plain car, and eat without music. The princes will wear a dark posture to offer sacrifices, wear a small crown to attend court, and wear a leather hat to listen to the first month of the month in the Grand Temple. They will wear court clothes to watch the sun at the inner court. At court, they will enter the court after distinguishing colors. The king will watch it when the sun rises, and then retreat to the roadside bedroom to listen to government affairs. He will send people to watch the officials. When the officials retreat, they will go to the small bedroom to sleep and take off their clothes. Also, the king will wear morning clothes to eat, and three special lungs will be offered as sacrifices. In the evening, he will wear deep clothes and offer meat as sacrifices. On the first month, there will be a small amount of food, five sacrificial dishes and four gui. The sons and the sons will eat vegetable soup, and the ladies will cook with the king.
