I dominate the other world by solving cases

The Master said, “If there is a car, you must see its rails; if there is a garment, you must see its wear; if someone talks about it, you must hear its sound; if someone walks about it, you must see its completion. The Ge Tan says, ‘If you wear it, you must shoot it.’” The Master said, “If you follow what you say, then your words cannot be embellished; if you follow what you say, then your actions cannot be embellished. Therefore, a gentleman speaks little, but walks to establish his credibility, so that the people cannot exaggerate his virtues and minimize his faults. The Book of Songs says, ‘The stain on the jade tablet can still be polished; the stain on this speech cannot be made.’ The Xiaoya says, ‘The gentleman is sincere, and the development is great.’ The Jun Shi says, ‘In the past, when the God of Heaven was in power, Zhou Tian observed the virtue of King Wen, and he gathered the great destiny in his body.’” The Master said, “The southerners have a saying, ‘If a man is not constant, he cannot be used for divination.’ Is this the saying left by the ancients? Even the tortoise shells cannot tell, let alone people? The Book of Songs says: ‘My tortoise is tired, but I still don’t tell it.’ The Book of Changes says: ‘The title is not equal to the bad virtue. The people stand up and do the right things. They are pure and offer sacrifices. This is disrespectful; things are complicated and chaotic, and serving the gods is difficult.’ The Book of Changes says: ‘If you don’t keep your virtue, you may suffer shame. If you keep your virtue, it will be auspicious for women and bad for men.’”

As mysterious events gradually resurface

The king comforts the officials and the women in the palace; the officials comfort the elders in the house and the younger nephews. The king and the officials honor their parents, wives, and eldest sons, but not their concubines; the scholars honor their parents, wives, eldest sons, and concubines. If a concubine has a son, the parents do not honor his corpse. In all cases of honoring corpses, the parents are honored first, and the wife and children are honored later. The king honors his ministers, the parents hold their sons, the son honors his parents, the wife serves her uncles and aunts, the uncles and aunts honor their wives, the wife holds her husband, and the husband holds his wife and his brothers. Honoring corpses is not the place for the king. In all cases of honoring corpses, one must jump.

May your life be clear and bright

A gentleman is one who is well-informed, strong in knowledge, and humble, and who is kind and not lazy. A gentleman does not exhaust people's favors or exhaust people's loyalty, but maintains friendship.

Semi-blind date

When Wei Xima was about to cross the river, he looked miserable and said to his attendants, "Seeing this vast expanse of land, I feel overwhelmed with emotions. If I still have feelings, who can stop me from feeling this way?"

Back to 2006

The king is not blessed." When the eldest son dies, the news is: "The king's heir, so-and-so, has died." When the ministers of the same country mourn the death of the heir, they say: "So-and-so has not died." When the ministers mourn the death of the scholars, they also say: "So-and-so has not died." When the king of another country mourns the death of the heir, they say: "The king's heir, the heir, so-and-so, has not died." When the ministers mourn the death of the scholars, they also say: "The king's heir, the heir, so-and-so, has not died. "When a scholar reports the death of a minister of the same state, he says, "So-and-so has died." When a scholar reports the death of a ruler of another state, he says, "So-and-so, your minister outside the court has died." When a scholar reports the death of a minister of another state, he says, "So-and-so, your minister outside the court has died." When a scholar reports the death of a minister, he says, "So-and-so, my son's concubine outside the court has died." When a scholar reports the death of a minister, he says, "So-and-so, my son's concubine outside the court has died." A minister stays in the mansion to complete the mourning, while a scholar returns home. A scholar stays in the mansion, while a minister lives in a hut and a scholar lives in a whitewashed room. A minister mourns for his parents and brothers who are not yet ministers, and wears the same clothes as a scholar. A scholar mourns for his parents and brothers who are ministers, and wears the same clothes as a scholar. A minister's son wears the same clothes as a minister. If a minister's concubine's son becomes a minister, he wears the same clothes as a minister for his parents; his position is the same as that of a person who is not yet a minister. If a scholar's son becomes a minister, his parents cannot take charge of the funeral, so they let their son take charge of it. If there is no son, a successor is appointed for him.
