Your Majesty, please don't run away

Zixia said: "The virtue of the three kings is comparable to that of heaven and earth. I dare to ask: how can it be said to be comparable to that of heaven and earth?" Confucius said: "Follow the three selfless things to work for the world." Zixia said: "I dare to ask what the three selfless things are?" Confucius said: "The sky covers without selfless things, the earth carries without selfless things, and the sun and the moon shine without selfless things. Following these three to work for the world is called the three selfless things. It is said in the Book of Songs: "The emperor's order is not violated, and it reaches Tang Qi. Tang descends without delay, and the saints respect each other day by day. Zhao takes time to grant, and God is respectful. The emperor's order is set in the nine circles. "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. "Zixia jumped up, stood with his back to the wall and said: "How dare I not accept it!"

My husband is a bit fierce

When Cao Gong was young, he met Qiao Xuan, who said to him, "The world is in turmoil, with heroes fighting each other. Wouldn't you be the one to sort things out? But you are a hero in troubled times and a villain in peaceful times. I regret that I am old and cannot see you become rich and powerful. I will be a burden to my descendants."

He said you are good

When a senior official came to pay his respects, he would say no. When paying respects to someone, he should not be happy on that day. Women should not go beyond the border to pay respects to someone. On the day of paying respects, they should not drink alcohol or eat meat. When paying respects to a funeral, the person must hold the lead. If they follow the coffin to the grave, they should all hold the rope. When a public official pays respects, there must be someone to bow, even if they are friends or people from the state or village. When paying respects, he should say, "My lord will serve you." The host should say, "Come." When the lord sees the coffin on the road, he must send someone to pay his respects. When a senior official is buried, commoners should not receive his respects. If the brother of the wife's father dies, the son should be the main one, and he should not cry or jump. The husband should enter the room on the right, and have someone stand outside the door to inform the visitors. If they are close to him, he should go in and cry. If the father is alive, he should cry in the wife's room; if they are not the father's descendants, he should cry in other rooms. If there is a funeral, if you hear of the death of a distant brother, you should cry in the side room; if there is no side room, you should cry on the right side of the door; if they are from the same country, you should go to cry.

Return of the Urban God of War

Yanling Jizi went to Qi, and on his way back, his eldest son died and was buried between Yingbo. Confucius said, "Yanling Jizi is a person in Wu who is accustomed to etiquette." He went to see his burial. The pit was not deep enough to reach the spring, and he was buried in the seasonal clothes. After the burial, the seal was sealed, and the pit was covered with wide wheels, so that it was high enough to hide. After the enthronement, he exposed his left arm and returned his right arm to the enthronement and cried three times, saying: "Bone flesh and blood return to the earth, it is destiny. As for the soul and spirit, everything will return, everything will return." Then he left. Confucius said: "Yanling Jizi's understanding of etiquette is in accordance with it!"
