When serving food to a gentleman, eat first and then stop; do not leave the food or drink it fluently; eat small portions and quickly; do not eat too much. The guest should drink by himself and stop when he says goodbye. The guest's cup should be on the left, and his drink should be on the left. Right; the jiejue, zujue, and xujue are all on the right. When offering fish, the tail is served; in winter, the fat is served on the right, and in summer, the fin is served on the right; when offering meat. In all cases, hold it with the right and place it on the left. Offer money from the left, and edict from the right. Servant of the corpse is like servant of the king. When in the car, hold the reins with the left and receive the jug with the right, and drink from the left and right. When offering sacrifices, offer sacrifices inside the sacrificial table. Gentlemen do not eat meat. Young men walk but do not rush, and when offering, sit down and drink when offering. When washing, wash your hands. Lungs of cattle and sheep , leaving without lifting the heart. All the dishes with scallions are not to be taken together. Choosing onions and scallions for a gentleman cuts off the root and the end. For the dish head, offer the beak to the ear. The left of the drinker is the highest dish. The pottery is facing the nose. Drinkers, those who worship, and those who offer sacrifices have to break the table and not sit down. Before stepping into the cup, do not taste the dishes. The fishy smell of cattle, sheep, and fish is cut into sashimi; elk is pickled, wild boar is xuan, all of which are cut and not cut; deer is made into piji, rabbit is made into wanpi, all of which are cut and not cut. Cut the onion into pieces like scallions, and put them in a sauce to soften them. If there is a person who breaks the table, take the sacrificial lungs, turn them over, and do not sit; the same is true for burning. For corpses, sit.
