In the funeral of parents, one lives in a hut and does not lay on the ground, sleeps on straw and pillows, and does not talk about anything other than funeral matters. The king builds a hut for the deceased, and the officials and scholars cover it. After the burial, the pillars and lintels are covered, and the hut is not for the prominent. The king, the officials, and the scholars all have their corpses. For those who are not the proper sons, a hut is built for the secluded from before the burial. After the burial, stand with people: the king talks about the king's affairs, not the affairs of the state; the great officials and scholars talk about the public affairs, not the affairs of the family. After the king is buried, the king's government returns to the country, and after the mourning is over, they will wear the king's affairs; after the great officials and scholars are buried, the public government returns to the family, and after the mourning is over, they will wear the hat and the belt, and there will be no avoidance of the affairs of the armor. After the mourning, live in the whitewashed room, do not live with others. The king discusses the affairs of the state, and the great officials and scholars discuss the affairs of the family. After the auspicious, the whitewashed. When the auspicious is good, there will be no crying outside; when the mourning is over, there will be no crying inside, because the music has been played. After the mourning, follow the emperor, and after the auspicious sacrifice, go back to bed.
