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?' Lao Dan said, 'The princes go to the emperor's court, and leave the sacrifice at the sun; the officials go to the emperor's court, and leave the sacrifice at the sun. The coffin does not leave early and does not stay late. Only criminals and those who go to the funeral of their parents go on the journey when they see the stars! The sun is eclipsed, how do you know that the stars are not visible? Moreover, a gentleman practices etiquette and does not take people's relatives as his concern. 'I heard Lao Dan say this.

The Self-cultivation of Jinyiwei

Emperor Wu said to He Qiao, "I want to scold Wang Wuzi first, and then give him a title." Qiao said, "Wuzi is handsome and straightforward, I am afraid he cannot be subdued." The emperor then summoned Wuzi and scolded him severely, then asked, "Do you feel ashamed?" Wuzi said, "The rumor of 'a foot of cloth and a bucket of millet' has always been shameful to Your Majesty! Others can make people alienate relatives, but I cannot make people alienate relatives, so I feel ashamed of Your Majesty."

Zengzi asked, “In ancient times, when a teacher traveled, did he have to move the temple master?” Confucius said, “When the emperor went on a tour, he moved the temple master and carried him in a Qi carriage, which means that he must have a dignified one. Now, if you take the masters of the seven temples with you, you will lose this. There should be no empty masters in the seven temples and the five temples. The empty masters are only when the emperor dies, the princes die, or leave their countries, and when offering sacrifices to the ancestors, there is no master. I heard from Lao Dan that when the emperor dies or the monarch dies, the celestial priest takes the masters of the temples and hides them in the temples of the ancestors. This is a ritual. After the mourning is over, the masters return to their temples. When the monarch leaves his country, the great minister takes the masters of the temples and follows him. This is a ritual. When offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the celestial priest welcomes the masters of the four temples. The master must ride in a carriage when leaving or entering a temple. Lao Dan said. ”Zengzi asked, “In ancient times, when a teacher traveled, he did not move the master, so who was the master?” Confucius said, “The master commands. ” Asked, “What does it mean?” Confucius said, “When the emperor and the princes are about to go out, they must inform their ancestors with coins, silk, leather and jade, and then carry them out on the Qi carriage. Every time they leave, they offer sacrifices before returning to their homes. When they return, they must inform, set up sacrifices, collect coins and jade, and hide them between the two steps before leaving. This is because of the noble destiny.”

Rebirth Chronicle

Emperor Wu of Wei once passed by the Cao'e stele, and Yang Xiu followed him. On the back of the stele there was an inscription of eight characters: "young woman with yellow silk, grandson Jue". Wei Wu asked Xiu, "Do you understand it?" Xiu replied, "I understand." Wei Wu said, "You can't tell me yet. Let me think about it." After walking for thirty miles, Wei Wu said, "I have figured it out." He asked Xiu to write down what he had learned. Xiu said: "Yellow silk is colored silk, and the word for it is absolutely perfect. Young woman is a young girl, and the word for it is wonderful. Grandson is a girl, and the word for it is good. Juejiu is suffering, and the word for it is words. This is what is called 'absolutely wonderful and good words'." Wei Wu also memorized it, and he agreed with Xiu, so he sighed and said: "I am not as talented as you, and I feel thirty miles behind."

Zhong Shiji was a man of intelligence and talent, but he did not know Ji Kang at first. Zhong Yao and other talented and wise men of the time went to look for Kang. Kang Fang was forging iron under a big tree, and Xiang Ziqi was assisting him in beating the drums. Kang Yang continued to hammer as if no one was around, and did not say a word for some time. Zhong got up and left. Kang asked, "What did you hear and why did you come? What did you see and why did you leave?" Zhong said, "I came because I heard and I left because I saw."
