Above Gods and Demons

Emperor Xiaowu asked Wang Shuang, "How do you compare to your brother?" Wang replied, "You are both elegant and outstanding. I am not as good as you. Loyalty and filial piety cannot be imitated by others!"

Looking back with a smile

When Yu Zhigong was the governor of Jingzhou, he presented a feather fan to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu suspected that it was an old item. Liu Shao, the imperial attendant, said: "When the cypress beams and clouds are constructed, the craftsmen are first placed under them; when the pipes and strings are playing, the bells and Kui are the first to hear the sounds. Zhigong presented the fan because it was good, not new." Empress Yu heard this and said: "This person should be by the emperor's side."

Sonata of Life

Sacrifices have Zhaomu, which is to distinguish the order of father and son, distance, elder and younger, and closeness without disorder. Therefore, when there is an event in the Grand Temple, all the Zhaomu and Mu are present without losing their order. This is called the killing of closeness and distance. In ancient times, the king who knew the title of virtue and the salary of merit must be granted in the Grand Temple to show that he dare not monopolize. Therefore, on the day of the sacrifice, after one offering, the king descends and stands on the south of the steps of the east, facing south. The person who orders faces north, and the historian from the king's right holds the tablet and orders. He bows twice and kowtows. He receives the book and returns, and leaves the offering in his temple. This is the granting of titles and rewards. The king rolls up his crown and stands on the east, and the lady stands in the east room with a second veil. The lady offers the beans and holds the school, and holds the wine and gives it to the stirrup. When offering wine to a corpse, the wife holds the handle, and when receiving the corpse, the wife holds the foot. When a husband and wife give wine to each other, they do not take each other's place. When offering wine to each other, the wine must be exchanged. This is to make it clear that the husband and wife are different. When making a sacrifice, the bones are the main thing. Bones are of different ranks. The Yin people valued the thigh, the Zhou people valued the shoulder, and the front is more valuable than the back. The sacrifice is to make it clear that sacrifices must be benevolent. Therefore, the noble use noble bones, and the humble use humble bones. The noble are not heavy, and the humble are not empty, which shows equality. When benevolence is equal, politics will be carried out, politics will be carried out, and when things are accomplished, achievements will be made. The reason why achievements are made must not be unknown. The sacrifice is to make it clear that benevolence must be equal. A good politician does this, so it is said that the equality of politics and affairs can be seen here.

Elf's Will

Kong Tingwei gave the fur coat to his cousin Chen, but Chen refused to accept it. The Chief Justice said, "Yan Pingzhong was so frugal that he offered sacrifices to his ancestors. He wore a pig's shoulder that was not enough to cover his bowl, and he also wore a fox fur coat for decades. Why do you refuse this?" So he accepted it and wore it.

Danqing does not know the passage of time

Zhongni's ancestors followed Yao and Shun, and established the constitution of Wen and Wu: above the law of heaven, below the water and soil. It is like the heaven and earth that hold everything and cover everything, like the four seasons running in an alternating manner, like the sun and the moon shining in succession. All things grow together without harming each other, and the ways run parallel without contradicting each other. Small virtues flow, and great virtues cultivate. This is why heaven and earth are great.
