The moon is bright under the darkness

Zengzi said: "There are three kinds of filial piety: the greatest kind is to honor one's parents, the next is not to humiliate them, and the lowest is to be able to support them." Gong Mingyi asked Zengzi: "Master, can you be filial?" Zengzi said: "What are you talking about! What are you talking about! What a gentleman is filial to his parents is to anticipate their wishes and teach them the way. If you are a person who supports them directly, how can you be filial?" Zengzi said: "The body is the remains of the parents. How dare you treat the remains of the parents with disrespect? If you are not dignified in your residence, you are not filial; if you are not loyal to your lord, you are not filial; if you are not respectful in your office, you are not filial; if you are not good friends, you are not good friends. If one does not believe, it is not filial piety; if one is not brave in battle, it is not filial piety; if one fails to fulfill the five virtues, the disaster will come to one's parents, so how dare one not respect them? Heng Shu Tan Xiang, who tried to recommend him, was not filial piety, but nurturing. What a gentleman means by filial piety is that the people of the country say, "I am lucky to have a son!" This is what is called filial piety. The basic teaching of the masses is filial piety, and its practice is nurturing. Nurturing is possible, but respect is difficult; respect is possible, but peace is difficult; peace is possible, but death is difficult. After the parents are gone, if one conducts oneself carefully and does not bring bad reputation to the parents, it can be said that one can live to the end. A benevolent person is a person who is kind to this; a person who is polite is a person who is kind to this. The righteous is the one who follows this; the righteous is the one who is appropriate to this; the trustworthy is the one who trusts this; the strong is the one who is strong. Pleasure comes from following this, and punishment comes from the opposite. "Zeng Zi said: "Filial piety, if placed, can fill the heaven and earth; it can extend to the four seas and be applied to future generations without day or night. It can be extended to the East Sea, the West Sea, the South Sea, and the North Sea. The Book of Songs says: "From the west to the east, from the south to the north, there is no one who does not obey." This is what it means. "Zeng Zi said: "Trees should be cut down in due season, and birds should be raised. The beasts are killed at the right time. The Master said, "To cut down a tree or kill an beast at the wrong time is not filial piety." There are three kinds of filial piety: minor filial piety is to use strength, medium filial piety is to use labor, and great filial piety is to be diligent. Thinking of kindness and forgetting labor can be said to be using strength. Respecting benevolence and upholding righteousness can be said to be using labor. Giving generously and preparing things can be said to be diligent. When parents love you, you should be grateful and never forget; when parents hate you, you should be afraid but not complain; when parents make mistakes, you should advise them but not disobey; when parents are dead, you must ask for grain from benevolent people to offer them sacrifices. This is called the end of the ritual. "Le Zheng Zichun went down the hall and hurt his foot. He did not go out for several months and still looked worried. The disciples said, "Master, your foot has recovered, but you haven't gone out for several months. Why do you still look worried?" Le Zheng Zichun said, "Your question is good! Your question is good! I heard from Zengzi, and Zengzi heard from the Master that: 'What the heaven gives birth to, the earth raises, no one is greater than.' Parents give birth to their children intact, and children return to their children intact. This can be called filial piety. Not damaging their bodies, not dishonoring their bodies, can be called complete. Therefore, a gentleman dares not forget filial piety even when he walks. Now I have forgotten the way of filial piety, so I look worried. I dare not forget my parents when I take a step, and I dare not forget my parents when I speak. I dare not forget my parents when I take a step, so I don't take shortcuts, I don't go boating, and I dare not take the remains of my parents in danger. I dare not forget my parents when I speak, so I don't say bad words, and I don't say angry words back. Not dishonoring oneself, not humiliating one's parents, can be called filial piety."

The lights are on and the music starts

The sacrifice of You Yu clan valued the use of Qi; bloody and burning sacrifices use Qi. The Yin people valued sound, and before the smell is formed, they cleansed the sound; after three pieces of music, they went out to welcome the sacrifice. The sound is used to announce between heaven and earth. The Zhou people valued smell, and used chang to pour the smell, and yu combined chang; the smell, yin reaches the deep spring. Pour it with guizhang, using jade Qi. After pouring, then welcome the sacrifice, which brings in the Yin Qi. Xiao combined millet and sorghum; the smell, yang reaches the wall and the house. Therefore, after the offering, then burn Xiao and tanxiang. In all sacrifices, be careful of these. The soul and Qi return to the sky, and the body and spirit return to the earth. Therefore, sacrifice is to seek the meaning of Yin and Yang. The Yin people first sought the yang, while the Zhou people first sought the yin. The emperor ordered the prayer in the room, the corpse was seated in the hall, the sacrifice was used in the courtyard, and the head was raised in the room. When offering a direct sacrifice, the prayer was made to the master; when offering a request, the prayer was made to the 祊. I don’t know where the gods are, is it there? Is it here? Or is it to people far away? When offering sacrifices to the 祊, do you still say that you seek from people far away? 祊 means 逞, and 肵 means respect. Fu is good fortune, and 首 is straight. 相 means to feast. 嘏 means long and big. 尸 means to display. Hair and blood are to report the complete things in the dark. Those who report the complete things in the dark value the pure way. Blood sacrifice is to enrich the qi. Sacrifice the lungs, liver, and heart to value the qi master. Sacrifice millet and add lungs, sacrifice Qi and add clear water to report to the yin. Take the 膟菓 and burn it, raise the head to report to the yang. Clear water and Qi are to value newness.凡涚, which means new. It is called clear water, because the host has cleaned this water. The lord bowed twice, knelt down, and cut his flesh with his own body, which shows the utmost respect. The utmost respect is to show respect. Bowing means to show respect; knelt down means to show respect; and bare-chested means to show respect to the utmost. In offering sacrifices, the filial grandson and filial son are called by their righteousness; the great-grandson is called the state. In offering sacrifices, the host should show his respect and do his best, without yielding. Sacrificing with fishy and scorched meat, how can he know what the gods are eating? The host should show his respect to the utmost. He raised the jiao of the jar and ordered the corpse to be properly prepared. In ancient times, the corpse stood when there was nothing to do, and sat down when there was something to do. The corpse is the image of the god. Zhu means to give orders. The cup is made of straw, which means to make it clear. The wine is made to be clear, and the juice is offered to be made to be clear. It is like making the wine clear and the wine is made to be clear. There are prayers, responses, and excuses in sacrifice. The mystery of Qi is to think deeply in the dark. Therefore, a gentleman must see the one he is sacrificing for three days.

The Dragon King's Son-in-Law

When Emperor Xiaowu of Jin was twelve years old, it was winter. He did not change his clothes during the day, but only wore five or six layers of single cotton clothes, and slept on a mat at night. Xie Gong advised, "Your Majesty's body should be kept in a regular state. Your Majesty is too cold during the day and too hot at night. I'm afraid this is not the right way to keep healthy." The emperor said, "Be active during the day and quiet at night." Xie Gong left and sighed, "You are no less rational than the previous emperor."
