Qimen Saint Doctor

、、The scholar followed the acting master, facing north, and stood on the south side of the western steps. The chief priest wore a crown, held a bundle of silk, and ascended from the western steps in a row, but did not go up to the hall, and ordered no one to cry. He prayed three times and announced: "So-and-so's son is born, I dare to announce it." He ascended, placed money on the eastern table of the coffin, cried, and descended. All the masters, ministers, officials, and scholars in the room cried but did not dance. After mourning for a while, they returned to their seats. Then they offered sacrifices. The junior minister ascended and held money. On the third day, all the masters, ministers, officials, and scholars returned to their original seats, facing north. The chief minister, the chief clan, and the chief priest all wore crowns. The junior teacher presented the son in mourning clothes; the priest went first, the son followed, and the chief clan members followed. Entering the door, the crying stopped, and the son ascended from the western steps. He faced north in front of the coffin. The priest stood at the southeast corner of the coffin. He prayed three times: "So-and-so's son, following the steward, dare to see you." The son bowed and cried. Zhu, the prime minister, the clan members, all the masters, the ministers, the officials, and the scholars cried and danced three times, and then went down to the east and turned around, all bare-chested, and the son danced, and the people in the room also danced three times. Wearing mourning clothes, holding a stick, and offering sacrifices, the prime minister ordered the priest to announce the name to the five sacrifices, mountains and rivers. Zengzi asked, "If the crown prince is born after the burial, what should be done?" Confucius said, "The prime minister and the clan leader will follow the prime minister to announce the name to the gods. After three months, the name will be announced to the gods, and the name will be announced to the gods, the ancestral temples, the mountains and rivers."

Legend of the Three Kingdoms

What is a cane? It is a title. On the third day, a son is given a cane, on the fifth day, a senior official is given a cane, and on the seventh day, a scholar is given a cane. Some say it is used to carry the main load; some say it is used to assist the sick. Women and children do not use a cane, and they cannot be sick. All officials and all things are ready. Those who do things without speaking are helped up; those who do things after speaking are helped up; those who do things themselves before walking have dirty faces. Bald people do not wear their hair, hunchbacks do not bare their shoulders, and lame people do not dance. The old and the sick do not stop drinking and eating meat. All these eight are controlled by power.

The Enchanting Concubine

Duke Mu asked Zisi, "Is it ancient to return to serve the old monarch?" Zisi said, "In ancient times, gentlemen promoted people with courtesy and dismissed people with courtesy, so there was a ritual of returning to serve the old monarch; today's gentlemen promote people as if they were about to kneel down and dismiss people as if they were about to cross the abyss, and do not act like the head of an enemy, isn't that good! So why is there a ritual of returning to serve?"

The Glass City in the Sky

The Master said, "A gentleman does not use words to exhaust people. Therefore, when the world is governed by the Way, then actions have branches and leaves; when the world is not governed by the Way, then words have branches and leaves. Therefore, when a gentleman is at the side of a mourner and cannot give him a gift, he does not ask what he spends; when a sick person is at the side of a mourner and cannot give him a meal, he does not ask what he wants; when a guest is at a guest's house and cannot provide him with a guest, he does not ask where he stays. Therefore, the reception of a gentleman is like water, while that of a villain is like sweet wine; a gentleman is indifferent to success, while a villain is willing to be ruined. Xiaoya says: "A thief's words are sweet, and chaos is caused by glutinous rice." Confucius said: "A gentleman does not praise others with his words, so the people will be loyal. Therefore, a gentleman asks people if they are cold, then he clothes them; asks people if they are hungry, then he feeds them; praises people's beauty, then he gives them a title. Guofeng says: "The heart is worried, so I will go home and be happy." Confucius said: "If the mouth is good but the deeds are not fulfilled, resentment will come to the body. Therefore, a gentleman would rather have resentment than have a promise. Guofeng says: "Talking and laughing slowly, keeping promises, not thinking about the return; if you don't think about the return, what's the point!" Confucius said: "A gentleman does not get close to people with his appearance; if he is distant in affection but close in appearance, is he a thief who robs houses?" Confucius said: "The feelings should be trustworthy, and the words should be clever. ”
