The night here can kill people

The emperor makes a tour every five years: in the second month of each year, he goes to Mount Tai in the east to offer sacrifices to the mountains and rivers, and meets with the princes; he asks about those who have lived for a hundred years. He ordered the Grand Master to present poems to observe the customs of the people, and ordered the market to collect the money to observe what the people like and dislike, and whether they are lewd or rebellious. He ordered the ceremonial officials to examine the time and month, set the day, and standardize the law, and to correct the rituals, music, system, and clothing. If anyone does not raise the gods of mountains and rivers, he is disrespectful; if he is disrespectful, the king will reduce his land. If anyone does not obey the ancestral temple, he is unfilial; if he is unfilial, the king will reduce his title. If anyone changes the rituals and changes the music, he is disobedient; if he is disobedient, the king will exile him. If anyone changes the system and clothes, he is rebellious; if he is rebellious, the king will punish him. If someone has done good deeds for the people, he will be given land and improved the law. In the fifth month, the southern patrol guards will reach the southern mountain, just like the ritual of the eastern patrol guards. In the eighth month, the western patrol guards will reach the western mountain, just like the ritual of the southern patrol guards. In the eleventh month, the northern patrol guards will reach the northern mountain, just like the ritual of the western patrol guards. When returning, he will borrow from the ancestors and use special.

Why miss, why linger

Yu Changren and his brothers entered Wu and wanted to stay overnight in a pavilion. The younger brothers went up first and saw the room full of children, none of whom had any intention of avoiding each other. Changren said, "Let me try and watch it." He then took a little boy with a stick and entered the door. The guests, seeing his divine appearance, retreated and hid themselves for a while.

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.

Delicate in youth

In ancient times: public land was rented but not taxed. Markets and shops were not taxed. Customs were checked but not levied. The forests, hills, rivers and marshes were visited at regular times but not prohibited. The land of the gui was not taxed. The people's labor was used, but not more than three days a year. There was no porridge in the fields, and no request for graves. The Sikong held the measure and measured the land, and the people lived in the mountains, rivers, marshes and marshes, and the four seasons. The distance of the land was measured, and the work was done according to the people's strength. When commanding the people: the old people were given the work, and the strong people were given the food. The talents of the people must be made according to the cold, warm, dry and wet weather of heaven and earth, and the different shapes of valleys and rivers. The people living in the land had different customs: hardness, softness, lightness, heaviness, slowness and speed were different, the five flavors were different, the tools were made differently, and the clothes were different. Improve their education, but do not change their customs; standardize their politics, but do not change their suitability. The people of China, Rong, and Yi, all have their own natures, which cannot be changed. The people of the East are called Yi, who have hair and tattoos, and some do not eat cooked food. The people of the South are called Man, who have carvings and patterns, and some do not eat cooked food. The people of the West are called Rong, who have hair and fur clothes, and some do not eat grains. The people of the North are called Di, who wear feathers and live in caves, and some do not eat grains. China, Yi, Man, Rong, and Di all have a safe place to live, a harmonious taste, suitable clothes, and tools. The people of the five directions do not speak the same language and have different tastes. To reach their aspirations and communicate their desires: the East is called Ji, the South is called Xiang, the West is called Didi, and the North is called Yi.

When the princes travel and die in the guesthouse, they will return to their country. If they are on the road, they will raise the left hub of their carriage and use it to saddle it. Their saddles have a saddle, and they travel with black cloth skirts and white brocade curtains as a roof. When the temple gate is reached, the wall is not torn down before entering the place of burial, but only the chariot is used to announce the death outside the temple gate. When a senior official or scholar dies on the road, the left hub of the carriage is lifted up and the body is brought back with the reins. If the death occurs at the residence, the body is brought back as at home. Senior officials use cloth as chariots to walk, and when they arrive at home, they use the chariots to carry the body, and when they enter the gate and reach the steps on the east side, they use the chariots to carry the body, and then they are lifted up from the steps on the east side and brought back to the place of burial. The chariots of scholars use reed mats as the roof and cattail mats as the skirt and curtain.
