The Monster Pit

Family mourners do not worry about where to live, and ruins do not endanger their bodies. Famished people do not worry about where to live, because there is no temple; ruins do not endanger their bodies, because there is no offspring.

Invite the Concubine into the Game: Prince, Don't Do Anything

Guo Jingchun crossed the river and lived in Jiyang. His tomb was less than a hundred steps away from the water, so people at that time thought it was close to the water. Jing Chun said: "It will become land in the future." Now the sand has risen, and the land dozens of miles away from the tomb is all mulberry fields. His poem goes like this: "The northern hill is fierce, the vast ocean is turbulent; the three tombs are piled up, only the mother and the Kun."8 Prime Minister Wang ordered Guo Pu to try to make a hexagram. When the hexagram was completed, Guo looked very unhappy and said, "You will have a disaster!" The king asked, "Is there a way to avoid it?" Guo said, "I will order my carriage to go west for a few miles and find a cypress tree. I will cut it into a piece as long as you, and place it on your bed as a regular place to sleep. Then the disaster will be avoided." The king followed his advice. Within a few days, the fruit was crushed to pieces, and the children and young men all celebrated. The general said, "You are again putting the blame on the trees."

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."

After Wang Dun got down from the boat, he stopped at Shitou, intending to depose Emperor Ming. The guests were seated in large numbers. Dun knew that the emperor was intelligent and wanted to depose him for being unfilial. Whenever someone mentioned the emperor's unfilial behavior, they always said it was said by Concubine Wen. Wen once served as the commander of the Eastern Palace, and later became our Sima, and he knows it very well. Soon, Wen came. Dun showed his authority and asked Wen, "What kind of person is the Crown Prince?" Wen said, "A mean person cannot judge a gentleman." Dun's tone was stern, and he wanted to use his authority to make him obey him, so he asked Wen again, "Why is the Crown Prince good?" Wen said, "He is a man of deep insight, which is beyond the reach of shallow knowledge. However, he serves his parents with courtesy, which can be called filial piety."
