Nocturnal animals await dawn

King Jiong of Qi was the Grand Marshal assisting in the administration, and Ji Shao was the Palace Attendant, who went to Jiong to consult on matters. Jiong set up a meeting of ministers and summoned Ge Yi, Dong Ai and others to discuss current affairs. Yi and others said to Jiong: "Minister Ji is good at playing stringed instruments. You can ask him to play it." So they sent the musical instruments. Shao Tui refused. Jiong said, "We are all happy today, why are you resisting?" Shao said, "You have assisted the royal family and made them do things in an exemplary manner. Although Shao is a low-ranking official, his duties are equivalent to those of an ordinary official. Playing silk and bamboo is the job of a musician. It cannot be dressed according to the rules of the previous kings, which is the occupation of the people of Wu. Now that I am forced to accept the emperor's order, I dare not refuse. I should put down my crown and wear private clothes. This is what Shao wants." Yu and others were dissatisfied and left.

The prince is on top and the concubine is on the bottom

This is for no reason

After the emperor survived for two generations, he still respected the virtuous, but respected the virtuous for no more than two generations. The princes did not serve the public. Therefore, in ancient times, the public did not succeed the public. The king's south is the meaning of answering the sun. The minister's north is to answer the king. The minister of the officials does not bow his head, which is not to respect the family ministers, but to avoid the king. The officials do not bow their heads when they have offerings, and the king does not bow when he gives gifts, which is the king's answer to himself. When the villagers were offering sacrifices, Confucius stood in the east in court clothes to keep the spirit of the room. Confucius said: "Shooting is for music, how can you listen, how can you shoot? ”Confucius said: "When a scholar is ordered to shoot, if he cannot, he should excuse himself on the grounds of illness. This is the meaning of hanging the bow." Confucius said: "Three days to prepare, one day to use, still fear that it is disrespectful; two days to beat the drum, what is the point?" Confucius said: "The bow is drawn inside the storehouse gate, it is placed in the east, and it is placed in the west for market. It has been lost. ”

The Demon Concubine Invades the City

Chen Zhuangzi died and went to Lu. The people of Lu did not want to cry. Duke Mu summoned Xianzi and asked him about it. Xianzi said, "In ancient times, the officials did not finish their work. Even if they wanted to cry, how could they cry? Today's officials are involved in the government of China. Even if they want not to cry, how can they not cry? Moreover, I have heard that there are two ways to cry: one is to cry for love, and the other is to cry for fear." The Duke said, "Yes, then what should we do?" Xianzi said, "Please cry in the temples of different surnames." So he cried with the Xianshi. Zhongxian said to Zengzi: "The Xia Dynasty used Mingqi to show that the people were ignorant; the Yin people used sacrificial utensils to show that the people were knowledgeable; the Zhou people used both to show that the people were suspicious." Zengzi said: "Is it not so! Is it not so! Mingqi is a ghost instrument; sacrificial utensils are human instruments; why did the ancient people die for their own parents?" Gongshu Mu's half-brother died, and he asked Ziyou. Ziyou said: "Is it a great merit?" Di Yi's half-brother died, and he asked Zixia. Zixia said: "I have never heard of it before; the people of Lu wear Qisui for him." Di Yi wore Qisui. The Qisui of today is what Di Yi asked.

Stolen Husband

Xie Gong said: "The wise and sages leave people behind, and their leisure time is also close." His sons and nephews did not agree with him. The Duke sighed and said, "If Xi Chao heard this, he would never reach the Hehan River."
