The Road to Glory: I Will Not Be a Chopping Block

Wang Ziyou and Zijing were both seriously ill, but Zijing died first. Ziyou asked his attendants, "Why haven't we heard any news? He is already dead!" He showed no sadness at all when he spoke. They asked for a sedan chair and came to the funeral, but did not cry. Zijing had always loved the zither, so he went straight in and sat on the coffin, took out Zijing's zither and played it. When the strings were out of tune, he threw it to the ground and said, "Zijing! Zijing! Both you and the zither are gone." He was in grief for a long time, and died more than a month later.

For all positions, except for the funeral of a relative, the age of mourning below all ascend the throne and cry and mourn until he has finished his work, but he removes his mourning clothes to the east, ascends the throne, exposes his hair to the east, dances, and wears mourning clothes, bows to the guests and returns to his seat, cries and dances, sends the guests back to his seat, and the attendant tells him to take his place. After three days and five cries, the host goes out to see the guests off; all the host's brothers go out, and the crying stops. The attendant tells him that the work is done. He wears mourning clothes and bows to the guests. If the host's family is far away, he wears mourning clothes and goes. For the age of mourning clothes, cry while looking at the hometown; for the great merit, cry while looking at the door; for the small merit, cry when reaching the door; for the mourning clothes, cry while ascending the throne. Cry for the father's party in the temple; for the mother's wife's party in the bedroom; for the teacher outside the temple gate; for the friend outside the bedroom gate; for the acquaintance in the wild, set up the curtain. In all cases of mourning, no offerings are made. Nine times for the emperor, seven times for the princes, five times for the ministers, and three times for the scholars. The ministers mourn for the princes, but dare not bow to the guests. The ministers in other countries cry for their positions, but dare not bow to the guests. Brothers with the princes also cry for their positions. All those who hold positions have their bare backs. Those who know each other mourn first at home and then at the tomb, and all of them dance for the funeral, facing north from the host and dancing. In all cases of mourning, the father is the main mourner when the father is still alive; after the father dies, the brothers live together and each of them mourns for his own. If the relatives are the same, the elder one is the main mourner; if they are not the same relatives, the closest one is the main mourner. When hearing about the funeral of a distant brother, the mourning period is over, and the mourning period is not heard, and the bare backs are not worn, and the left hand is preferred to bow to the guests. The only people who hold positions without mourning are sisters-in-law and uncles; and women who come down without mourning wear hemp. In all cases of mourning, if a minister arrives, he should bare his backs, bow to him, dance to him, and then kiss him; for scholars, kiss him and then bow to him.

(Ma Fei) died before he could achieve his goal.

Confucius said: "When you enter a country, you can know its teachings. The people are gentle and kind, which is the teaching of the Book of Songs; broad-minded and far-sighted, which is the teaching of the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is the teaching of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is the teaching of the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is the teaching of the Book of Rites; and the use of words and metaphors to compare things is the teaching of the Spring and Autumn Annals. Therefore, the mistakes of the Book of Songs are foolish; the mistakes of the Book of Documents are slander; the mistakes of Music are extravagant; the mistakes of the Book of Changes are thieves; the mistakes of the Book of Rites are troublesome; and the mistakes of the Spring and Autumn Annals are disorder. The people are gentle and kind without being foolish, which means they are deeply in the Book of Songs; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is not thieves, which means they are deeply in the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is not troublesome, which means they are deeply in the Book of Rites; the use of words and metaphors to compare things is not disorderly, which means they are deeply in the Spring and Autumn Annals."
