Xun Ciming met Yuan Lang of Runan and asked about the people of Yingchuan. Ciming mentioned his brothers first. Lang laughed and said, "Can a scholar be selected only because of his kinship?" Ciming said, "You are questioning me, what scripture are you basing your opinion on?" Lang said, "I was just asking about the country's scholars, but you mentioned my brothers, so I blame them." Ciming said, "In the past, Qi Xi recommended people from within the country without missing their sons, and recommended people from outside the country without missing their enemies, which was considered to be very fair. The poem of King Wen of Gongdan did not discuss the virtues of Yao and Shun, but praised Wen and Wu, which is the meaning of loving one's relatives. The meaning of the Spring and Autumn Annals is to include one's country within and exclude other countries. Moreover, if one does not love one's relatives but loves others, is it not against virtue?"

The Story of Two Beauties

The prime minister controls the state expenditures, and he must do so at the end of the year, when all the grains have been harvested. The size of the land used depends on the harvest and loss of the year. The state expenditures are controlled based on the general situation of thirty years, and the expenditures are calculated according to the income, and the number of sacrifices is calculated. In mourning, there is no sacrifice for three years, and only sacrifices to heaven, earth, and the altar of grain are performed. The mourning period is three years. In funerals and sacrifices, if the expenditure is insufficient, it is called excessive; if the expenditure is sufficient, it is called lavish. In sacrifices, do not be extravagant in good years and do not be frugal in bad years. A country without nine years of reserves is called insufficient; without six years of reserves, it is called urgent; without three years of reserves, it is not a country. Three years of farming will ensure one year of food; nine years of farming will ensure three years of food. With thirty years of peace, even if there is a disaster, drought or flood, and the people have no vegetables, then the emperor will eat and celebrate every day.

Youth is guilty

He Yan and Deng Yang asked Guan Lu to make a hexagram, saying: "I wonder if the position will reach Three Dukes?" After the hexagram was made, Lu quoted the ancient meaning and took it as a deep warning. Yang said, "This is what old people always say." Yan said, "How amazing! The ancients thought it was difficult. Today, people think it is difficult to be sincere in communication. Now you have achieved two difficult things at the same time. You can be called 'the bright virtue is fragrant'. Doesn't the poem say, 'Hide it in your heart, how can you forget it?'"

The gentleman said: Rituals and music cannot be separated from the body for a moment. Use music to regulate the mind, and the heart of Yi Zhi Zi Liang will arise naturally. The heart of Yi Zhi Zi Liang arises, then happiness, happiness, peace, longevity, longevity, heaven, heaven, God. Heaven is trustworthy without words, and God is majestic without anger. It is the way to regulate the heart with music. To regulate the body with propriety is to be solemn and respectful, and solemn and respectful is to be stern and majestic. If the heart is not harmonious and happy for a moment, then the heart of contempt and deceit will enter it. If the appearance is not solemn and respectful for a moment, then the heart of arrogance will enter it. Therefore, music is what moves the heart; propriety is what moves the outside. When music is extremely harmonious and propriety is extremely smooth, when the inside is harmonious and the outside is smooth, then the people will look at their faces and not argue with them; when they look at their appearance, the people will not be arrogance. Therefore, when virtue moves inwardly, the people will all listen to it; when reason is expressed in the outside, the people will all obey it. Therefore, it is said: To promote the way of propriety and music, to raise and arrange them, there will be no difficulty in the world. Music is what moves the heart; propriety is what moves the outside. Therefore, propriety is the main thing to reduce, and music is the main thing to increase. When propriety is reduced, it will advance, and it will be cultured by advancing; when music is full, it will return, and it will be cultured by returning. If rituals are reduced but not improved, they will be lost; if music is full but not restored, it will be lost; therefore, rituals have rewards and music has replies. If rituals are rewarded, then there will be joy; if music is restored, then there will be peace; the rewards of rituals and the replies of music are the same. Music is joy, which is something that human nature cannot avoid. Music must be expressed in sound and manifested in movement and stillness. This is the way of man. Sound, movement and stillness, the changes of nature and skills, are all here. Therefore, people cannot stand without music, and music cannot stand without form. If it is manifested but not in the way, it cannot stand without chaos. The ancient kings were ashamed of chaos, so they created the sounds of Ya and Song to guide them, so that their sounds were enough to make people happy but not flowing, their texts were enough to discuss but not stop, and their rhythms were enough to move people's good hearts. Not to let the mind be disturbed and evil spirits come in contact, this is the way the ancient kings established music. Therefore, in the ancestral temple, when the ruler and his subjects listen to music together, everyone will be harmonious and respectful; in the clan leaders and the village, when the elders and the young listen to music together, everyone will be harmonious and obedient; in the inner chambers, when fathers and sons and brothers listen to music together, everyone will be harmonious and close. Therefore, music is to determine harmony by examining one thing, to embellish rhythm by comparing things; to form a text by combining rhythm. This is how the fathers and sons, rulers and subjects are united, and the people are close. This is the way the ancient kings established music. Therefore, listening to the sounds of Ya and Song, one's mind will be broadened; holding the halberd and the shield, practicing the bending and stretching, one's appearance will be dignified; performing the omens and grasping the rhythm, the ranks will be straight, and the advance and retreat will be orderly. Therefore, music is the will of heaven and earth, the discipline of harmony, and human nature cannot avoid it. Music is how the ancient kings embellished their joy, and the military halberds were how the ancient kings embellished their anger. Therefore, the joy and anger of the ancient kings were all in harmony. When they were happy, the world was in harmony, and when they were angry, violent and rebellious people were afraid. The way of the ancient kings was full of rituals and music.
