Traveling through the Three Kingdoms

Zhu Jin

Bloodthirsty Doctor

All the servants in Zheng Xuan's family were educated. Once he sent a maid to do something that did not please him, so he was about to beat her. As he was about to explain his story, Xuan became angry and ordered someone to drag chopsticks into the mud. After a while, another maid came and asked, "Why are you in the mud?" She replied, "I went to complain and met with his anger."

The Secret of Heaven

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!"

Summer morning light

The prime minister controls the state expenditures, and he must do so at the end of the year, when all the grains have been harvested. The size of the land used depends on the harvest and loss of the year. The state expenditures are controlled based on the general situation of thirty years, and the expenditures are calculated according to the income, and the number of sacrifices is calculated. In mourning, there is no sacrifice for three years, and only sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the altar of grain are performed. The mourning period is three years. In funerals and sacrifices, if the expenditure is insufficient, it is called excessive; if the expenditure is sufficient, it is called lavish. In sacrifices, do not be extravagant in good years and do not be frugal in bad years. A country without nine years of reserves is called insufficient; without six years of reserves, it is called urgent; without three years of reserves, it is not a country. Three years of farming will ensure one year of food; nine years of farming will ensure three years of food. With thirty years of peace, even if there is a disaster, drought or flood, and the people have no vegetables, then the emperor will eat and celebrate every day.
