Zengzi asked, "When the burial leads to the grave, if the sun is eclipsed, will there be changes? Or not?" Confucius said, "In the past, I followed Lao Dan to help with the burial in Xiangdang. When we reached the grave, the sun was eclipsed. Lao Dan said, 'Qiu! Stop the coffin, stand on the right side of the road, stop crying and wait for changes.' After daybreak, he turned back and went on. He said, 'It is the etiquette.' When the burial was reversed, Qiu asked, 'The coffin cannot be reversed. If the sun is eclipsed, how can we go if we don't know how late it will be?'

When Gongshu Wenzi died, his son Shu asked the king for a posthumous title, saying: "The sun and the moon have their time, and I will be buried. Please change his name." The king said: "In the past, Wei was in a disaster and famine, and the Master made porridge for the hungry people in the country. Wasn't it a kindness? In the past, Wei was in trouble, and the Master used his death to protect me. Wasn't it a loyalty? The Master listened to the government of Wei, improved its system, and made friends with the neighbors. The state of Wei was not humiliated. Wasn't it a culture?

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.
