Peerless Fighting Spirit

Ziyou asked, “Is it a courtesy to mourn a loving mother as if she were your own mother?” Confucius said, “It is not a courtesy. In ancient times, men had tutors outside and loving mothers inside, and they were appointed by the king to teach their children. Why should they wear mourning clothes? In the past, Duke Zhao of Lu lost his mother when he was young. He had a loving mother who was good. When her mother died, the duke could not bear to mourn her. He wanted to mourn her. The officials reported it to the king, who said, “According to the ancient etiquette, loving mothers should not be mourned. Now you are mourning for her. This is against the ancient etiquette and disrupts the laws of the country. If you carry it out, the officials will write it down and leave it to future generations. Isn’t it wrong!” The duke said, “In ancient times, the emperor wore a silk hat when he was at home. 'The Duke could not bear it, so he wore a white hat to mourn his beloved mother. The practice of mourning a beloved mother began with Duke Zhao of Lu. Zengzi asked, "When the princes meet the emperor, they cannot complete the ceremony when entering the door. How many of them are abolished?" Confucius said, "Four." Please ask. He said, "The great temple is on fire, the sun is eclipsed, the queen's funeral, and the rain soaks the clothes and makes them lose their appearance, then it is abolished. If all the princes are present and the sun is eclipsed, they will follow the emperor to put out the sun, and each will give his own weapons in his own color. If the great temple is on fire, they will follow the emperor to put out the fire, and will not give his own weapons in his own color." Zengzi asked, "When the princes meet, they bow and yield to each other when entering the door, and cannot complete the ceremony. How many of them are abolished?" Confucius said, "Six." Please ask. He said, "When the emperor dies, the great temple is on fire, the sun is eclipsed, the queen's funeral, and the rain soaks the clothes and makes them lose their appearance, then it is abolished." Zengzi asked, "When the emperor has offered sacrifices to the five sacrifices in the suburbs and the altars, the food and utensils have been laid out, and when the emperor dies, what should be done with the queen's funeral?" Confucius said, "Abolished. Zengzi asked, "When the sacrifice is to be made and the sun is eclipsed, and the Taimiao is on fire, what should be done with the sacrifice?" Confucius said, "Just follow the sacrifice. If the animal arrives but has not been killed, it is cancelled. When the emperor dies but has not been buried, the five sacrifices cannot be performed; after the funeral, the sacrifice is performed, the corpse is brought in, the three meals are not served, and the wine is not vinegared. From the opening to the return of the mourning, the five sacrifices cannot be performed; after the burial, the sacrifice is performed, the prayers are finished and the offerings are made." Zengzi asked, "When the princes offer sacrifices to the gods and grain, the sacrificial vessels and dishes are already laid out. What should they do when they hear of the death of the emperor, the mourning of the queen, the death of the king, or the mourning of the lady?" Confucius said, "Abolish it. From the death to the funeral, from the opening to the return of the mourning, they serve the emperor." Zengzi asked, "When the ministers offer sacrifices, the tripods and sacrificial vessels are laid out, and the dishes are set out, but the rituals cannot be completed. How many of them are cancelled?" Confucius said, "Nine. "Please ask. He said: "The death of the emperor, the mourning of the queen, the death of the monarch, the mourning of the lady, the fire of the monarch's grand temple, the solar eclipse, the three-year mourning, the mourning of Qisui and the great merit are all abolished. The mourning of the outside world from Qisui onwards is carried out. The sacrifice of Qisui is that the corpse is brought in, three meals are not served, and the wine is not made with vinegar. The great merit is just a vinegar. The small merit and mourning are just things in the room. The reason why scholars are different is that they do not offer sacrifices in mourning, and they offer sacrifices to the dead without wearing mourning clothes. "

After the heaven and the earth are united, all things will flourish. The wedding ceremony is the beginning of all ages. It is taken from people of different surnames, so as to attach to distant and distinguish. The gift must be sincere, and the words must be shy. Tell them to be honest and trustworthy; trust is to serve people; trust is the virtue of women. Be one with them and never change throughout life. Therefore, the husband will not marry after his death. Men personally welcome the bride, and men come before women, which is the meaning of hardness and softness. Heaven comes before earth, and the monarch comes before the ministers, and their meaning is the same. Holding the heart to meet each other is a respectful and clear farewell. There is a difference between men and women, then the father and son are close, the father and son are close, then righteousness is born, righteousness is born, then ritual is established, and then all things are at peace. No difference and no righteousness is the way of animals. The son-in-law is close to the chariot and the reins, which is close to the husband. To be close to the husband is to be close to the husband. Respect and close to the husband is how the ancient kings won the world. When going out of the gate, the man leads the woman, and the woman follows the man. This is the beginning of the righteousness of husband and wife. Women are those who follow others; when young, they follow their fathers and brothers, when married, they follow their husbands, and when their husbands die, they follow their sons. A husband is a husband; a husband is one who knows how to lead others. The black crown and fasting are the yin and yang of ghosts and gods. The general will be the master of the altar and the successor of the ancestors, so how can we not pay respect? Eating together is the same as being of equal status. Therefore, women have no titles, follow the husband's title, and sit with the husband's teeth. The utensils are made of pottery gourds, which is a respect for etiquette. The three kings used pottery gourds to make the chariot. At dawn, women wash their hands and feed the food. When the uncle and aunt have finished eating, the women eat the rest for themselves. The uncle and aunt descend from the west steps, and the wife descends from the east steps, which means they are given to the room. The wedding ceremony does not use music, which means the Yin is deep and yin. Music is the Yang Qi. The wedding ceremony does not celebrate, which means the order of people.

The Wrong Kinship: The Queen, the World in Her Hands

The record of the crown prince says: When he arrives at the door of the great bedroom in the morning and evening, he asks the eunuch: "How are you today?" The eunuch says: "Today is good." The crown prince will be happy. If there is something wrong, the eunuch will tell the crown prince, and the crown prince will look worried and dissatisfied. The eunuch says "return to the beginning", and then he will return to the beginning. When the food is served in the morning and evening, the crown prince must be there to check the cold and warm. After the food is served, ask what is delicious. He must know what is served, and order the chef to take care of it, and then leave. If the eunuch says "illness", the crown prince will take care of it in person. The food prepared by the chef must be looked at with respect; the medicine for illness must be tasted personally. If the food is good, the prince can eat it; if the food is poor, the prince cannot be full; until it returns to the original state, then it will return to the original state.
