The Imperial Contest

The emperor's great wax is eight. Yijishi first made wax, and wax means to ask. In the twelfth month of the year, all things are gathered together and asked to be feasted. The wax sacrifice is: the master first saves, and the priest saves. Sacrifice a hundred kinds of things in return for saving. Sacrificing farmers and postal officials, birds and beasts is the highest level of benevolence and the ultimate of righteousness. The ancient gentleman must repay what he has done. Welcoming cats is because they eat field mice; welcoming tigers is because they eat field pigs. Welcoming and offering sacrifices is a matter of duty. It is said that "the soil returns to its home", water returns to its ravine, insects do not work, and plants and trees return to their marshes. Leather hats and white clothes are used for sacrifice. White clothes are used to send off the dead. Kudzu belts and hazel sticks are used for mourning and killing. The wax sacrifice is the highest level of benevolence and the ultimate of righteousness. Yellow clothes and yellow crowns are used for sacrifice, which means resting the farmers. The wild man wears a yellow crown; the yellow crown is a straw dress. The Great Luo family is the emperor's master of birds and beasts, and the princes pay tribute to them. They come with a straw hat to respect the wild clothes. The Luo family presented a deer and a woman, and ordered the guests to report. To warn the princes: "Those who love fields and women will lose their countries." The emperor planted melons and flowers, but did not store the seeds. The eight waxes are used to mark the four directions. If the four directions are not prosperous in the year, the eight waxes will not flow, so as to be cautious of the people's money. When the prosperity is favorable, the waxes will flow, so as to migrate. After the waxes, the harvest is harvested and the people have rested. Therefore, after the waxes, the gentleman does not start work.

Chen Zhonggong was the chief of Taiqiu. There was a thief who robbed and killed a rich man, and he arrested him. Before reaching the place of departure, he heard on the road that some people were lying on the grass and refusing to get up, so he turned his carriage back to deal with it. The chief clerk said, "The thief is big, we should suppress him first." Zhonggong said, "How can it be better to kill a rich man than to kill one's own flesh and blood?"

Silkworm Ode

Nanyang Zong Shilin was a contemporary of Wei Wu, but Wei Wu despised him as a person and did not associate with him. When Wei Wu became Sikong and was in charge of government affairs, he calmly asked Zong, "Can I befriend you?" Zong replied, "The ambition of pine and cypress still remains." Shi Lin was dismissed for disobeying the emperor's order, and his position was not worthy of his virtue. Whenever Emperor Wen's brothers visited his door, they would bow alone under the bed. This was their etiquette for greeting.

Zeng Zi asked: "Do you mourn for three years?" Confucius said: "In the three-year mourning, you should be dressed, not stand in a group, and do not travel. Gentlemen use etiquette to embellish their feelings. If you mourn for three years, isn't it empty?" Zeng Zi asked: "The officials and scholars can get rid of their private mourning, but they have the monarch's mourning clothes. How can they get rid of it?" Confucius said: "If you have the monarch's mourning clothes on your body, you dare not wear them privately. How can you get rid of them? So it is not removed after the time has passed. In the case of the king's mourning, mourning is removed before offering sacrifices, which is a ritual. Zengzi asked, "Is it okay not to remove mourning for parents?" Confucius said, "The ancient kings established rituals, and did not perform them after the time has passed, which is a ritual; it is not that they cannot do it, but they are worried that it is too much. Therefore, a gentleman does not offer sacrifices after the time has passed, which is a ritual. Zengzi asked, "When the king dies, after the funeral, if the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Return home and live at home. If there are important things, go to the king's place and see him off morning and evening." He said, "After the king has been buried, if the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Go home and cry and come back to see the king off." He said, "If the king has not buried his parents, and the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Go home and cry and come back to see the king off. If there are important things, go back and see him off morning and evening. For officials, the old man in the house will perform the ritual; for scholars, the descendants will perform the ritual. The wife of a great official, if there is a serious matter, should also go to the king's place, morning and night. "
