The joys and sorrows of transformation and struggle

When a gentleman is about to build a palace, the ancestral temple comes first, the stables and storehouses come second, and the living quarters come last. For all household construction, sacrificial utensils come first, sacrificial tribute comes second, and domestic utensils come last. Those without land and salary do not set up sacrificial utensils; those with land and salary first make sacrificial clothes. Even if a gentleman is poor, he does not eat porridge with sacrificial utensils; even if it is cold, he does not wear sacrificial clothes; when building a palace, he does not cut hills and trees. When a senior official or scholar leaves the country, sacrificial utensils are not overused. The senior officials shall leave the sacrificial vessels with the senior officials, and the scholars shall leave the sacrificial vessels with the scholars.

Yu Gong once entered a Buddhist temple and saw a reclining Buddha. He said, "This boy is tired from crossing the pier." This became a famous saying at the time.

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."

Cang Shen Tu

Yu Changren and his brothers entered Wu and wanted to stay overnight in a pavilion. The younger brothers went up first and saw the room full of children, none of whom had any intention of avoiding each other. Changren said, "Let me try and watch it." He then took a little boy with a stick and entered the door. The guests, seeing his divine appearance, retreated and hid themselves for a while.

There is a great way to make money. There are many people who make it, but few who consume it. Those who work hard and those who spend it are comfortable, then the money will always be enough. The benevolent use money to improve themselves, and the unkind use themselves to make money. There has never been a person who likes benevolence but does not like righteousness, there has never been a person who likes righteousness but does not complete his work, and there has never been a person whose treasury is not his own money. Meng Xianzi said: "He who keeps horses and chariots does not care about chickens and pigs; a family that cuts ice does not keep cattle and sheep; a family with a hundred chariots does not keep ministers who collect money. It is better to have ministers who steal than to have ministers who collect money. "This means that a country does not regard profit as profit, but regards righteousness as profit. Those who govern a country and pursue financial gain must be mean people. They are good people, but mean people are good people. Disasters come together. Even if there are good people, there is nothing they can do! This is to say that a country does not take profit as profit, but takes righteousness as profit.
