Memoirs about him and me

Zi Zhang came to see me after he had removed his mourning clothes. He gave me a zither, and played it in harmony. He played it and made a sound. He stood up and said, "I dare not fail to follow the rites established by the ancient kings."

The only one who loves you in three lives

Sima Taifu was sitting in his study at night. At that time, the sky and the moon were bright and clear without any cloud. The Grand Tutor sighed and thought it was excellent. Xie Jingzhong was sitting there and replied, "I think it is not as good as a little cloud." The Grand Tutor then jokingly said to Xie, "Your heart is not pure, and you still want to pollute the Taiqing?"

The Immortal Supreme in the City

Zengzi asked, “In ancient times, when a teacher traveled, did he have to move the temple master?” Confucius said, “When the emperor went on a tour, he moved the temple master and carried him in a Qi carriage, which means that he must have a dignified one. Now, if you take the masters of the seven temples with you, you will lose this. There should be no empty masters in the seven temples and the five temples. The empty masters are only when the emperor dies, the princes die, or leave their countries, and when offering sacrifices to the ancestors, there is no master. I heard from Lao Dan that when the emperor dies or the monarch dies, the celestial priest takes the masters of the temples and hides them in the temples of the ancestors. This is a ritual. After the mourning is over, the masters return to their temples. When the monarch leaves his country, the great minister takes the masters of the temples and follows him. This is a ritual. When offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the celestial priest welcomes the masters of the four temples. The master must ride in a carriage when leaving or entering a temple. Lao Dan said. ”Zengzi asked, “In ancient times, when a teacher traveled, he did not move the master, so who was the master?” Confucius said, “The master commands. ” Asked, “What does it mean?” Confucius said, “When the emperor and the princes are about to go out, they must inform their ancestors with coins, silk, leather and jade, and then carry them out on the Qi carriage. Every time they leave, they offer sacrifices before returning to their homes. When they return, they must inform, set up sacrifices, collect coins and jade, and hide them between the two steps before leaving. This is because of the noble destiny.”

Confucius said: "How does an archer shoot? How does he listen? He who follows the sound and shoots without missing the target is only a virtuous man! How can an unworthy man hit the target?" The Book of Songs says: "Shoot what he has, in order to pray for your wine." Pray means to ask; to ask for the target and refuse the wine is to refuse the wine. Wine is used to nourish the elderly and to cure illness; to ask for the target and refuse the wine is to refuse nourishment.

Zigong asked Confucius, "May I ask why gentlemen value jade and despise enamel? Is it because jade is scarce and enamel is plentiful?" Confucius said, "It is not because enamel is plentiful that they despise it, but because jade is scarce that they value it. In the past, gentlemen compared virtues to jade: warm and moist, it is benevolence; meticulous and fine, it is knowledge; incorruptible but not sharp, it is righteousness; hanging like a string, it is courtesy; knocking, the sound is clear and long, and it bends at the end, it is music; flaws do not cover the beauty, and beauty does not cover the flaws, it is loyalty; trustworthiness is everywhere, it is trustworthiness; aura is like a white rainbow, it is heaven; spirit is seen in mountains and rivers, it is earth; jade is outstanding, it is virtue. What is valued by all in the world is the Tao. The Book of Songs says, 'When I think of a gentleman, he is as warm as jade.' Therefore, gentlemen value it."
