Jingzhou Past

Whenever guests enter, each door should be opened to the guests. When the guest arrives at the bedroom door, the host invites him in and takes a seat, and then goes out to greet the guest. The guest insisted on declining, and the host invited him in. The host enters on the right, and the guest enters on the left. The host goes up the east steps, the guest goes up the west steps. If the guest wants to lower his status, he goes up the host's steps. The host firmly declined, and then the guest returned to the west steps. The host and the guest give way to each other and the host goes up first, followed by the guest, climbing up the steps together and walking up in succession. When going up the east steps, put your right foot first; when going up the west steps, put your left foot first.

Not turned around

Wang Changshi said to Jiang Daoqun: "People can have what they should have, but they don't have to have it; people can have what they should not have, but I must not have it."

Love Letter

The Almighty Feng Shui Doctor

The king is not blessed." When the eldest son dies, the news is: "The king's heir, so-and-so, has died." When the ministers of the same country mourn the death of the heir, they say: "So-and-so has not died." When the ministers mourn the death of the scholars, they also say: "So-and-so has not died." When the king of another country mourns the death of the heir, they say: "The king's heir, the heir, so-and-so, has not died." When the ministers mourn the death of the scholars, they also say: "The king's heir, the heir, so-and-so, has not died. "When a scholar reports the death of a minister of the same state, he says, "So-and-so has died." When a scholar reports the death of a ruler of another state, he says, "So-and-so, your minister outside the court has died." When a scholar reports the death of a minister of another state, he says, "So-and-so, your minister outside the court has died."

When a scholar reports the death of a minister, he says, "So-and-so, my son's concubine outside the court has died." A minister stays in the mansion to complete the mourning, while a scholar returns home. A scholar stays in the mansion, while a minister lives in a hut and a scholar lives in a whitewashed room. A minister mourns for his parents and brothers who are not yet ministers, and wears the same clothes as a scholar. A scholar mourns for his parents and brothers who are ministers, and wears the same clothes as a scholar. A minister's son wears the same clothes as a minister.

Counterattack: Resigned to fate

Wang Zijing went from Kuaiji to Wu and heard that Gu Pijiang had a famous garden. I didn't recognize the host at first, so I went straight to his house, where I saw Gu gathering his guests and friends for a drunken feast. When the king finished his travels, he gave orders about his likes and dislikes as if no one was around. Gu was furious and said, "To be arrogant to the master is not polite; to be arrogant to others because of one's status is not the right way. If one loses these two, he is not worthy of being a human being and is a fool!" He then drove his attendants out of the door. The king turned around alone in the carriage, looked left and right, but saw no one coming. Then he ordered the chopsticks to be sent out the door, looking disdainful.

The Life of a Demon Concubine

Zeng Zi asked: "Do you mourn for three years?" Confucius said: "In the three-year mourning, you should be dressed, not stand in a group, and do not travel. Gentlemen use etiquette to embellish their feelings. If you mourn for three years, isn't it empty?" Zeng Zi asked: "The officials and scholars can get rid of their private mourning, but they have the monarch's mourning clothes. How can they get rid of it?" Confucius said: "If you have the monarch's mourning clothes on your body, you dare not wear them privately. How can you get rid of them? So it is not removed after the time has passed. In the case of the king's mourning, mourning is removed before offering sacrifices, which is a ritual. Zengzi asked, "Is it okay not to remove mourning for parents?" Confucius said, "The ancient kings established rituals, and did not perform them after the time has passed, which is a ritual; it is not that they cannot do it, but they are worried that it is too much. Therefore, a gentleman does not offer sacrifices after the time has passed, which is a ritual. Zengzi asked, "When the king dies, after the funeral, if the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Return home and live at home. If there are important things, go to the king's place and see him off morning and evening." He said, "After the king has been buried, if the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Go home and cry and come back to see the king off." He said, "If the king has not buried his parents, and the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Go home and cry and come back to see the king off. If there are important things, go back and see him off morning and evening. For officials, the old man in the house will perform the ritual; for scholars, the descendants will perform the ritual. The wife of a great official, if there is a serious matter, should also go to the king's place, morning and night. "
