Prometheus Bound

Rebirth of the Grassroots Myth

Prime Minister Wang said: "Recently, people have compared me to Anqi and Qianli. They also recommend these two people. But they all recommend the Grand Marshal, who is particularly outstanding."

Forced Marriage

Wang Xun and Xi Chao were both talented and were favored by the Grand Marshal. Xun was the chief clerk, and Chao was the secretary and assistant military officer. Chao is a person with a lot of beard, which is short and shaped like a jade pendant. At that time, Jingzhou said: "Bearded military officers and short chief clerks can make you happy or angry."

Dreaming of lost youth

Confucius said: "When you enter a country, you can know its teachings. The people are gentle and kind, which is the teaching of the Book of Songs; broad-minded and far-sighted, which is the teaching of the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is the teaching of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is the teaching of the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is the teaching of the Book of Rites; and the use of words and metaphors to compare things is the teaching of the Spring and Autumn Annals. Therefore, the mistakes of the Book of Songs are foolish; the mistakes of the Book of Documents are slander; the mistakes of Music are extravagant; the mistakes of the Book of Changes are thieves; the mistakes of the Book of Rites are troublesome; and the mistakes of the Spring and Autumn Annals are disorder. The people are gentle and kind without being foolish, which means they are deeply in the Book of Songs; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is not thieves, which means they are deeply in the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is not troublesome, which means they are deeply in the Book of Rites; the use of words and metaphors to compare things is not disorderly, which means they are deeply in the Spring and Autumn Annals."

[Rebirth] Hold tight to the master's golden thigh

If the autumn order is carried out in the last month of winter, the white dew will fall early, the shelled insects will become monsters, and the four borders will come to seek refuge. If the spring order is carried out, there will be many miscarriages and many chronic diseases in the country, which is called rebellion. If the summer order is carried out, floods will ruin the country, snow will not fall, and ice will melt.

Bone Lover

When the emperor and the princes have nothing to do, they have three fields a year: one for dry beans, two for guests, and three for the king's kitchen. If you do not farm when you have nothing to do, it is disrespectful; if you farm without courtesy, it is a waste of nature. The emperor does not surround the country, and the princes do not hide their flocks. When the emperor is killed, the great chariots are sent down; when the princes are killed, the small chariots are sent down; when the officials are killed, the assistant chariots are stopped. When the assistant chariots are stopped, the people can go hunting. The otter sacrifices fish, and then the hunters go into the marshes. The jackal sacrifices animals, and then they go hunting. The doves transform into eagles, and then they set up nets. When the grass and trees fall, they go into the mountains and forests. When insects are not hibernating, do not burn the fields, do not kill deer, do not lay eggs, do not kill fetuses, do not kill young, and do not cover nests.
