Fiery Youth

In ancient times, the emperor and the princes must have officials who raised animals. When the season came, they all took a bath and personally worshiped the animals. Sacrificial animals must be taken there, which is the highest respect. The king summoned the cow, took it in and looked at it, selected its hair and divined it. If it was auspicious, then he would raise it. The king wears a leather hat and white silk, and on the first and half moons, the king inspects the animals, so as to devote himself to the work and show his filial piety. In ancient times, the emperor and the princes must have a public mulberry and silkworm room near the river. The palace is built with a height of three feet and a thorn wall to close it from the outside. When the great morning comes, the king wears a leather hat and white silk, and divines the auspiciousness of the three palace ladies and the concubines, and asks them to go to the silkworm room, offer seeds and bathe in the river; and mulberry in the public mulberry, eat the wind. After the year is over, the concubines finish the silkworms and present the cocoons to the king, and then offer the cocoons to the lady. The lady asks, "Is this what I wear for you?" Then she takes the cocoons and gives them a small sacrifice. In ancient times, those who offer cocoons usually use this! On a good day, the lady reels silk, and she spreads it in three basins, and then she asks the three palace ladies and the concubines to reel it; then she makes it red and green, black and yellow, and makes it into a pattern. After the clothes are made, the king should wear them to worship the ancestors, which is the utmost respect. The gentleman said: "Rites and music should never be separated from the body. If you use music to regulate the mind, then the heart of being easy, honest, and understanding will arise naturally. If the heart of being easy, honest, and understanding arises, then you will be happy, happy, peaceful, peaceful, long-lasting, and heavenly, and heavenly, divine. Heaven is trustworthy without words, and divine is majestic without anger. Use music to regulate the mind. Use ritual to regulate the body, then you will be solemn and respectful, and solemn and respectful will be dignified and majestic. If the mind is not harmonious and happy for a moment, then the heart of contempt and deceit will enter; if the appearance is not solemn and respectful for a moment, then the heart of arrogance and laziness will enter. Therefore, music is what moves the inside, and ritual is what moves the outside. Music is extremely harmonious, and ritual is extremely smooth. If the inside is harmonious and the outside is smooth, then the people will look at his face and not argue with him; look at his appearance, and the people will not be arrogant and easy. Therefore, when the brilliance of virtue moves inside, the people will all listen to him; when the reason is expressed outside, the people will all obey him. Therefore, it is said: If the way of ritual and music is achieved, the world will be filled with them, and it will be easy to carry them out. Music is what moves the inner self; ritual is what moves the outer self. Therefore, ritual is about reduction, and music is about abundance. Ritual is reduced and then progresses, and progress is the essence; music is abundant and then returns, and return is the essence. If ritual is reduced but not progressed, it will be lost; if music is abundant but not returned, it will be lost. Therefore, ritual has reward and music has return. If ritual gets its reward, there will be joy; if music gets its return, there will be peace. The reward of ritual and the return of music have the same meaning.

The gentle trap of Leng Shao

Zeng Zi asked: "The girl is on the road when the groom's parents die, what should be done?" Confucius said: "The girl changes her clothes to a deep cloth and a white cloth to go to the funeral. If the girl is on the road and her parents die, she should return. "If the man-to-be comes to marry the daughter, but the daughter has not yet arrived, and there is a mourning ceremony of Qisui Dagong, what should be done?" Confucius said: "If the man does not come, he should change his clothes to the outer place; if the woman comes, she should change her clothes to the inner place; then she should take the throne and cry." Zengzi asked: "After the mourning is over, will the wedding ceremony be repeated?" Confucius said: "Sacrifice is not offered after the time is up, it is a ritual; why go back to the beginning?" Confucius said: "The family of marrying a daughter does not extinguish the candles for three nights, thinking of the separation. The family of marrying a daughter does not play music for three days, thinking of the successor. After three months, the temple is visited, which is called the coming daughter. Choose a day to offer sacrifices to the gods, which is the meaning of completing the daughter." Zengzi asked: "If the daughter dies before the temple is visited, what should be done?" Confucius said: "Do not move to the ancestors, do not bury her with the emperor's aunt, the man-to-be does not stick, do not give her money, and do not bury her in order, and return her to the party of the daughter's family to show that she is not a complete daughter." Zengzi asked: "Marry a daughter, on an auspicious day, and she dies, what should be done? "Confucius said, "A son-in-law mourns in the age of mourning, and removes the mourning after the burial. The same is true for a husband's death." Zengzi asked, "There are two orphans in a funeral, and two masters in a temple. Is this a ritual?" Confucius said, "There is no two suns in the sky, no two kings on earth, and there is no two superiors in the sacrifices to the suburbs. I don't know if it is a ritual. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi hurriedly raised his army and pretended to be a master. When he returned, he hid in the ancestral temple. The temple has two masters, which started with Duke Huan. The two orphans in a funeral, it was in the past when Duke Ling of Wei went to Lu and encountered the funeral of Ji Huanzi. The King of Wei asked for condolences, but Duke Ai declined and was not allowed to do so. The Duke was the master and the guest condoled. Kangzi stood on the right side of the door, facing north; the Duke bowed and yielded, ascended from the east steps, and faced west; the guest ascended from the west steps to condole. The Duke bowed, stood up, and cried; Kangzi bowed and bowed his head in his seat, and the officials did not argue. The two orphans today are the fault of Ji Kangzi. ”
