The Invincible Son-in-Law of the City

Duke Wen of Wei asked Zixia, "When I listen to ancient music with my crown on, I am afraid of falling asleep; when I listen to the music of Zheng and Wei, I do not feel tired. May I ask: Why is ancient music like that? Why is new music like this?" Zixia replied, "Now, ancient music is advancing and retreating, harmonious and upright, and broad. Strings, gourds, shengs, and reeds are combined, guarded, and drums are played. At the beginning, it is played with elegance, and chaos is restored with force. Chaos is controlled with the minister, and the rapidity is investigated with elegance. Gentlemen talk about the ancient times, cultivate themselves and their families, and make the world equal. This is the origin of ancient music. Now, new music is advancing and retreating, and the sound of evil is heard. The music is so excessive that it cannot stop. When there are dwarfs and children mixed together, they do not know the difference between father and son. Music cannot be discussed in the end, and the ancient music cannot be mentioned. This is the emergence of new music. What you are asking about is music, and what you like is music! Music is similar to music but different. "Wen Hou asked, "May I ask how it is?" Zixia replied, "In ancient times, the heaven and the earth were in harmony and the four seasons were in order. The people were virtuous and the five grains flourished. Diseases did not occur and there were no evil omens. This is called the great order. Then the sages established the relationship between father and son, ruler and minister, and made it a rule. When the rules are correct, the world will be great. Stable. When the world is stable, then the six musical notes are corrected, the five tones are harmonized, and the music is sung with strings and poems. This is called the sound of virtue; the sound of virtue is called music. The Book of Songs says: "There is no sound of virtue better than this. His virtue is clear. He is able to be clear and kind, to be superior and to rule the country, and he rules this great country. He is able to obey and to be gracious, and he has been gracious to King Wen. His virtue is unrepentant. He has received the emperor's blessing and passed it on to his grandson. "This is what it means. What you like now is the music of indulgence?" Wen Hou said: "May I ask where the music of indulgence comes from?" Zixia replied: "The music of Zheng likes to indulge in lewdness, the music of Song likes to indulge the women of Yan, and the music of Wei likes to be lewd. The four are all indulgent and harmful to virtue, so they are not used in sacrifices. The Book of Songs says: "The sound of the bells is solemn and harmonious, and the ancestors listen to it." Solemnity is respect; harmony is harmony. If you are respectful and harmonious, what can't be done? A ruler should be careful about what he likes and dislikes. If the ruler likes it, the ministers will do it. If the ruler practices it, the people will follow it. The Book of Songs says: "It is very easy to lure the people." This is what it means. "Then the sages made drums, gongs, cymbals, cymbals, and chisels. These six are the sounds of virtue. Then the bells, chimes, flutes, and harps were used to harmonize them, and the halberds, shields, and flags were used to dance with them. This is how sacrifices are made to the temples of the ancestors, how offerings are made, how the officials are ranked according to their proper positions, and how the order of seniority and juniority is shown to future generations. The bells sounded loud, and the loudness established the order, the order established the horizontal, and the horizontal established the military. When a gentleman hears the sound of bells, he thinks of military officials. The sound of stone chimes is like chimes, chimes are used to establish judgment, judgment leads to death. When a gentleman hears the sound of chimes, he thinks of officials who died for the frontier. The sound of silk is sad, sadness is used to establish integrity, integrity is used to establish ambition. When a gentleman hears the sound of zither and qin, he thinks of officials with ambition and righteousness. The sound of bamboo is loud, loudness is used to establish meetings, meetings are used to gather people. When a gentleman hears the sound of 竽, 笙, 箫, and 管, he thinks of officials who gather people. The sound of drums and cymbals is loud, loudness is used to establish movement, movement is used to advance the people. When a gentleman hears the sound of drums and cymbals, he thinks of officials who are generals. When a gentleman listens to music, he does not just listen to the clanging of guns, but also has something to match.

Marry before you love

During the funeral of Zi Zhang, Gong Mingyi wrote a memorial: the red curtain and the red material, and the ants gathered at the four corners, which was a Yin scholar.

It depends on you.

Sacrifices have Zhaomu, which is to distinguish the order of father and son, distance, elder and younger, and closeness without disorder. Therefore, when there is an event in the Grand Temple, all the Zhaomu and Mu are present without losing their order. This is called the killing of closeness and distance. In ancient times, the king who knew the title of virtue and the salary of merit must be granted in the Grand Temple to show that he dare not monopolize. Therefore, on the day of the sacrifice, after one offering, the king descends and stands on the south of the steps of the east, facing south. The person who orders faces north, and the historian from the king's right holds the tablet and orders. He bows twice and kowtows. He receives the book and returns, and leaves the offering in his temple. This is the granting of titles and rewards. The king rolls up his crown and stands on the east, and the lady stands in the east room with a second veil. The lady offers the beans and holds the school, and holds the wine and gives it to the stirrup. When offering wine to a corpse, the wife holds the handle, and when receiving the corpse, the wife holds the foot. When a husband and wife give wine to each other, they do not take each other's place. When offering wine to each other, the wine must be exchanged. This is to make it clear that the husband and wife are different. When making a sacrifice, the bones are the main thing. Bones are of different ranks. The Yin people valued the thigh, the Zhou people valued the shoulder, and the front is more valuable than the back. The sacrifice is to make it clear that sacrifices must be benevolent. Therefore, the noble use noble bones, and the humble use humble bones. The noble are not heavy, and the humble are not empty, which shows equality. When benevolence is equal, politics will be carried out, politics will be carried out, and when things are accomplished, achievements will be made. The reason why achievements are made must not be unknown. The sacrifice is to make it clear that benevolence must be equal. A good politician does this, so it is said that the equality of politics and affairs can be seen here.
