Never feel sorry for yourself

Grand Tutor Xie asked the chief clerk Lu Tui, "Why did Zhang Ping write a eulogy for his mother but not for his father?" Tui replied, "It is because a man's virtue is shown in his deeds, and a woman's beauty cannot be revealed without a eulogy."

In ancient times: public land was rented but not taxed. Markets and shops were not taxed. Customs were checked but not levied. The forests, hills, rivers and marshes were visited at regular times but not prohibited. The land of the gui was not taxed. The people's labor was used, but not more than three days a year. There was no porridge in the fields, and no request for graves. The Sikong held the measure and measured the land, and the people lived in the mountains, rivers, marshes and marshes, and the four seasons. The distance of the land was measured, and the work was done according to the people's strength. When commanding the people: the old people were given the work, and the strong people were given the food. The talents of the people must be made according to the cold, warm, dry and wet weather of heaven and earth, and the different shapes of valleys and rivers. The people living in the land had different customs: hardness, softness, lightness, heaviness, slowness and speed were different, the five flavors were different, the tools were made differently, and the clothes were different. Improve their education, but do not change their customs; standardize their politics, but do not change their suitability. The people of China, Rong, and Yi, all have their own natures, which cannot be changed. The people of the East are called Yi, who have hair and tattoos, and some do not eat cooked food. The people of the South are called Man, who have carvings and patterns, and some do not eat cooked food. The people of the West are called Rong, who have hair and fur clothes, and some do not eat grains. The people of the North are called Di, who wear feathers and live in caves, and some do not eat grains. China, Yi, Man, Rong, and Di all have a safe place to live, a harmonious taste, suitable clothes, and tools. The people of the five directions do not speak the same language and have different tastes. To reach their aspirations and communicate their desires: the East is called Ji, the South is called Xiang, the West is called Didi, and the North is called Yi.

When mourning clothes are worn, the crying is like going out but not turning back; the crying of mourning clothes is like going out and turning back; the crying of mourning clothes for the great merit is three bends and then folded; the mourning clothes for the small merit and the mourning clothes are acceptable. This is the expression of sorrow in the voice.

Meng Lai in the Qin Dynasty

Someone asked, "Why do people bury their parents after three days of death?" The answer is: filial sons are sad and resentful when their parents die, so they crawl on the ground and cry, as if they will be resurrected, how can they be taken away and buried. Therefore, it is said that the funeral is held after three days, in order to wait for the body to be reborn. If the body is not reborn after three days, it is also dead. The filial son's heart will also be weakened; the family plan and clothing can also be completed; the distant relatives can also come. Therefore, the sages made a decision to set a three-day ritual system.

Ziyun: "The etiquette of the guest always advances to show respect, and the funeral etiquette always adds distance." Bathing in the middle stream, eating under the window, small burial inside the door, large burial on the east side, funeral in the guest seat, ancestral worship in the courtyard, burial in the tomb, so as to show distance. The Yin people mourned at the grave, and the Zhou people mourned at home, showing that the people were not rebellious. Ziyun: "Death is the final service of the people, I follow Zhou." Because of this, there are still princes who died without burial. Ziyun: "Ascending from the guest steps, receiving condolences at the guest seat, teaching the people to pursue filial piety." Not calling the king before the death shows that the people are not quarrelsome. Therefore, the "Spring and Autumn Annals" of Lu recorded the funeral of Jin and said: "Kill the son of the king Xiqi and his king Zhuo." Because of this, there are still sons who kill their fathers.
