That village, that man, that fool

Confucius said, "Rituals are what the people in the streets indulge in. They make the differences between the people and make them have no suspicion. They serve as rules for the people." Therefore, men and women do not have intercourse without a matchmaker, and do not meet without money, fearing that there will be no difference between men and women. With this, the people in the streets still offer themselves. The Book of Songs says, "How can you cut wood? Without an axe, you cannot do it; how can you marry? Without a matchmaker, you cannot get it; how can you plant hemp? You follow her across the field; how can you marry a wife? You must tell her parents." Confucius said, "Do not marry a wife with the same surname, so as to distinguish them." Therefore, if you do not know the surname of a concubine when buying one, you should consult a fortune teller. Because of this people, the Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu still removed the surname of the lady and called her Wu, and her death was called Mengzi's death. Confucius said: "In the ritual, men and women do not exchange titles except for sacrifices." Because of this people, Yang Hou still killed Mu Hou and stole his wife. Therefore, the ritual of the lady was abolished at the grand feast. Confucius said: "If you don't see the son of a widow, you will not be friends with her. The gentleman keeps a distance from her." Therefore, when making friends, if the host is not at home, you will not enter her house unless there is a major reason. Because of this people, the people still value beauty more than virtue. Confucius said: "Love virtue is like love beauty." The princes did not go below the temptation of beauty. Therefore, the gentleman kept a distance from beauty as a rule for the people. Therefore, men and women do not touch each other. When you touch a woman, you should offer your left hand. If the daughter of a aunt, sister or daughter returns after marriage, men should not sit at the same table with her. A widow should not cry at night. If a woman is sick, you should not ask about her illness. Because of this people, the people are still licentious and chaotic in the clan. Confucius said: "At a wedding, the groom personally welcomes the bride and greets the uncle and aunt. The uncle and aunt pass the bride to the groom, fearing that the matter will go wrong." Because of this, some women still do not attend.

Luo You from Xiangyang had great poetic talent, and was often called a fool when he was young. Once I visited someone's temple and wanted to beg for food, but I went too early and the door was not open. The host went out to welcome the god and asked why he was here at such a bad time. He replied, "I heard about your temple and wanted to beg for a meal." Then he hid beside the door. At dawn, he had his food and left without any shame on his face. He was a man who recorded his merits. He followed Huan Xuanwu in pacifying Shu. He visited the city walls, palaces, and buildings of Shu, as well as the width and narrowness of the roads inside and outside, and the number of fruit trees and bamboos planted. He memorized them all. Later, Xuanwu Piaozhou and Jianwen Collection were collected, and friends also participated. We talked about things in Shu together, and there were some things we had forgotten. All the friends were listed without any mistakes or omissions. Xuanwu checked the records of the city walls and palaces of Shu and found that they were all as he said. Those sitting there were amazed. Xie Gong said: "How can Luo You be inferior to Wei Yangyuan!" Later he became the governor of Guangzhou. When he was in charge of the garrison, the governor Huan Huo told his order not to stay overnight. He replied, "The people have already done this in advance. The host is poor, and may have money for food and wine. We have a long history, so please accept your orders on another day." Zheng Xi secretly sent people to investigate. On that day, he went to the home of his assistant in Jingzhou, where he felt very comfortable and at ease, just like a successful person. In Yizhou, Yuer said, "I have food utensils for five hundred people." Everyone in his family was shocked. Its origin is clear, but the sudden appearance of this thing must be the 250 stacks of black bamboo.

Yan Shao V587: Training the runaway wife

Zijing wrote to Ziyou, saying "My brother and uncle are lonely and rarely get along, but when they drink, they get so drunk that they forget to go home, and that is something to be proud of."

Your Majesty owes me a life

At first, Fatai came to the north and was unknown, so the king led his army to support him. Whenever he went out with him, he would go to famous places in Xu and travel with him. If you don't eliminate it, you can't stop the car. Therefore, his name became important.

May you live in peace forever

The sage kings set up sacrifices: those who apply the law to the people are sacrificed; those who die in the service of the country are sacrificed; those who work hard to stabilize the country are sacrificed; those who can resist great disasters are sacrificed; those who can defend against great disasters are sacrificed. Therefore, when Lishan ruled the world, his son was called Nong, who was able to grow hundreds of grains; when Xia declined, Zhou Qi succeeded him, so he was sacrificed as Ji. When Gonggong ruled the nine states, his son was called Hou Tu, who was able to pacify the nine states, so he was sacrificed as She. Emperor Ku was able to arrange the stars to show the people; Yao was able to reward and equalize the law and end his life with justice; Shun worked hard at many things but died in the wild. Gun was killed by floods, and Yu was able to restore Gun's achievements. Huangdi rectified the names of all things to make it clear that the people share the wealth, and Zhuanxu was able to restore it. Qi was the Minister of Education and the people were prosperous; Ming worked hard in his office and died in a flood. Tang ruled the people with leniency and eliminated their cruelty; King Wen ruled with civility, and King Wu ruled with military merits to eliminate the people's disasters. These are all those who have made great contributions to the people. The sun, moon, and stars are what the people look up to; the mountains, forests, rivers, valleys, and hills are what the people use as materials. They are not of this clan and are not included in the sacrificial rites.
