Even if the food for funerals is bad, it must satisfy hunger. It is not proper to stop work when hungry; it is also not proper to forget to mourn when full. A gentleman is worried about those who cannot see clearly, hear well, walk straight, and do not know how to mourn. Therefore, if a person is sick and drinks alcohol and eats meat, he will not be sick at the age of 50, and will not be sick at the age of 60. If he drinks alcohol and eats meat at the age of 70, it is all because he is suspected of death. In mourning, if someone calls him to eat, he will not go. For those who have done great deeds or less, after the funeral, they will go to the people, and people will eat it. Those who are his party will eat it, but those who are not his party will not eat it. For those who have done less deeds, they will eat vegetables and fruits, and drink water and soup, but no salt or cheese. If you cannot eat food, salt and cheese are fine. Confucius said: "If you have a sore on your body, you should bathe; if you have a wound on your head, you should wash your body; if you are sick, you should drink alcohol and eat meat. If you are sick, you will be sick, and a gentleman will not do it. If you die of sickness, a gentleman will say that you have no children. ”

"This is the virtue of Tang. There are four seasons in the sky, spring, autumn, winter and summer, wind, rain, frost and dew, all of which are teachings. The earth carries spirits, spirits and winds, winds and thunders flow, and all things are born, all of which are teachings. When the body is clear and bright, the spirit and will are like gods, and the desires are about to come, and they must be opened first. The sky rains down, and clouds come out of the mountains and rivers. It is said in the Book of Songs: "Song is high and steep as the sky. Only the mountain descends the spirit, giving birth to Fu and Shen. Only Shen and Fu, only Zhou's Han. The four countries are in the frontier, and the four directions are in Xuan. 'This is the virtue of civil and military. The kings of the three dynasties must first make it known. The Book of Songs says: "The wise and enlightened emperor will make it known without stopping. 'This is the virtue of the three dynasties. 'Relax his civil virtues and coordinate these four countries. 'This is the virtue of the king.
