The Prince is Hard to Serve (Rebirth)

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.’”

A virtuous wife stops at courtesy

During the Su Jun Rebellion, General Yu fled south to meet Lord Tao. Mr. Tao admired and respected him. Tao was frugal by nature. When he was eating, he would eat leeks, so Yu left some blank. Tao asked, "What is the use of this?" Yu said, "So that it can be planted." Tao then sighed that Yu was not only a romantic man, but also a practical man.

Eternal Glory

During Confucius' funeral, someone came from Yan to watch and stayed at Zixia's house. Zixia said, "Is it the way a sage buries a person? It is the way a person buries a sage. What do you think? The Master said in the past, 'I have seen people who seal it like a hall, I have seen people who seal it like a square, I have seen people who cover the summer house, and I have seen people who use an axe.' It is like a hatchet. It is the way the horse mane is sealed. Now, three boards are cut in one day, and it is already sealed. Is it still the Master's intention?" Women do not wear a belt. There is a new offering, like the first day of the month. After the burial, each person takes off his clothes. The pond looks at the heavy flow. When the king ascends the throne, he makes a casket, and paints it once a year and stores it there. The burial, the wedge teeth, the foot decoration, the rice, the decoration, and the curtain hall are all made. The father and brother order the attendants. The king returns to the small bedroom, the big bedroom, the small ancestral hall, the big ancestral hall, the storehouse gate, and the four suburbs. The mourning is not stripped, is it for the offering? Is it for the sacrifice meat? After the funeral, the materials and the funeral utensils are laid out ten days later. The morning offering is at sunrise, and the evening offering is at dawn. In the funeral of parents, there is no time for crying, so that they must know when to return. lian, lianyi yellow lining, hemp edge, kudzu sash, rope sandals without weft, horn ornaments, deer fur, long gowns, gowns and sashes are OK.

There were more than a hundred maids, all wearing silk and satin, and holding food and drink with their hands. The stewed pork is fat and delicious, different from other dishes. The emperor was surprised and asked about it, and the answer was: "Drinking human milk from pigs." The emperor was very upset and left before finishing his meal. Wang and Shi are not aware of this work.

Goddess, Return

Rituals are big and small, obvious and subtle. The big ones cannot be reduced, the small ones cannot be increased, the obvious ones cannot be concealed, and the subtle ones cannot be enlarged. Therefore, the "Jingli" has 300 and the "Quli" has 3,000, and they all lead to one. There is no one who enters the room without going through the door. A gentleman, in terms of rites, should be sincere and respectful, and should be beautiful and elegant and sincere. A gentleman, in terms of rites, should act straight and act accordingly, should kill others with crookedness, should follow the rules and be equal, should follow the rules and be investigated, should collect and spread, should push and advance, should be free and elegant, should be free and not reach, should follow and collect. The rites of the Three Dynasties were the same, and the people followed them. Some were white and some were blue, and Xia created them and Yin followed them. Zhou sat on the corpse and ordered to worship Wu Fang; their rites were also the same, and their ways were the same; Xia stood up the corpse and finished the sacrifice; Yin sat on the corpse. Zhou traveled to pay tribute to six corpses, Zengzi said: "Zhou rites are like the same as the sacrifice!"
