Never get tired of looking at each other

Wang Dongting and Xie Gong were at odds with each other. When the king heard about the funeral in the east, he went out of the capital to find Zi Jing and said, "I want to mourn for Gong." Zi Jing had just gone to bed, and when he heard his words, he got up in surprise and said, "I hope for Fa Hu." So the king went to mourn. The commander-in-chief Diao Yue refused to listen and said, "I have never seen such a guest in my life." Wang also did not speak to him, but went straight forward, crying bitterly, and left without holding the hand of the last maid.

Rebirth: Darkening Step by Step

Moon sets, stars sink

At the beginning of death, he was full as if he had no end; after the funeral, he was as if he was looking for something but couldn't get it; after the burial, he was as if he was looking for something but couldn't get it. He was trained and sighed, auspicious and vast. Zhulou shot arrows at him again, probably since the battle at Shengxing. The women of Lu who wore their hair in a bun and mourned started from the defeat at the Taiyu.

Raw sound

Confucius said, "Rituals are what the people in the streets indulge in. They make the differences between the people and make them have no suspicion. They serve as rules for the people." Therefore, men and women do not have intercourse without a matchmaker, and do not meet without money, fearing that there will be no difference between men and women. With this, the people in the streets still offer themselves. The Book of Songs says, "How can you cut wood? Without an axe, you cannot do it; how can you marry? Without a matchmaker, you cannot get it; how can you plant hemp? You follow her across the field; how can you marry a wife? You must tell her parents." Confucius said, "Do not marry a wife with the same surname, so as to distinguish them." Therefore, if you do not know the surname of a concubine when buying one, you should consult a fortune teller. Because of this people, the Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu still removed the surname of the lady and called her Wu, and her death was called Mengzi's death. Confucius said: "In the ritual, men and women do not exchange titles except for sacrifices." Because of this people, Yang Hou still killed Mu Hou and stole his wife. Therefore, the ritual of the lady was abolished at the grand feast. Confucius said: "If you don't see the son of a widow, you will not be friends with her. The gentleman keeps a distance from her." Therefore, when making friends, if the host is not at home, you will not enter her house unless there is a major reason. Because of this people, the people still value beauty more than virtue. Confucius said: "Love virtue is like love beauty." The princes did not go below the temptation of beauty. Therefore, the gentleman kept a distance from beauty as a rule for the people. Therefore, men and women do not touch each other. When you touch a woman, you should offer your left hand. If the daughter of a aunt, sister or daughter returns after marriage, men should not sit at the same table with her. A widow should not cry at night. If a woman is sick, you should not ask about her illness. Because of this people, the people are still licentious and chaotic in the clan. Confucius said: "At a wedding, the groom personally welcomes the bride and greets the uncle and aunt. The uncle and aunt pass the bride to the groom, fearing that the matter will go wrong." Because of this, some women still do not attend.

Spring

The emperor’s meal was nine shells; the princes had seven, the officials had five, and the scholars had three. The scholars were buried in the third month, and the mourning ended in that month; the officials were buried in the third month, and the mourning ended in the fifth month; the princes were buried in the fifth month, and the mourning ended in the seventh month. The scholars had three Yu, the officials had five, and the princes had seven. The princes sent people to offer condolences, and the next one was: the one who brought the coffin and the offerings and arrived, all finished the work on the same day, and the next one was like this. When a king is ill, he asks countless questions; a scholar asks only once. When a king is with a noble official, he does not eat meat at the funeral, and does not play music at the funeral; when a scholar is with a funeral, he does not play music. When the main coffin is carried, the princes hold the ropes of 500 people, four ropes, all of whom hold their mouths shut. The Sima holds the bell, eight on the left and eight on the right, and the carpenters hold feathered banners to support the coffin. When a senior official is buried, when the main coffin is carried, there are 300 people holding the lead, four on the left and four on the right, and the coffin is covered with thatch.

Civilian Counterattack

Bin Moujia sat in Confucius's service. Confucius talked with him about music and asked, "Why has Wu been prepared for so long?" He replied, "I am worried that I cannot get the crowd." "Why is it that it is chanting and lascivious?" He replied, "I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the task." "Why is it that it is early to start and work hard?" He replied, "It is timely." "Wu sat with his right side and his left side, why?" He replied, "It is not Wu sitting." "Why is it that the sound is lascivious and reaches Shang?" He replied, "It is not the music of Wu." Confucius said, "If it is not the music of Wu, what is it?" He replied, "The officials have lost the transmission. If the officials have not lost the transmission, then King Wu's ambition would have been in vain." Confucius He said, "Yes! What I heard from Chang Hong is also the same as what you said." Bin Moujia stood up, left his seat and asked, "King Wu has been preparing for a long time, so he must have heard the order. May I ask: why is it so late and so long?" The Master said, "Wait! I will tell you. Music is a symbol of success; the king Wu did it by pulling together the trunks and standing on a mountain; the Duke of Wu was determined to be vigorous and brave. The Zhou and Zhao dynasties ruled when King Wu was in power. Moreover, King Wu went north at first, destroyed Shang when he succeeded for the second time, and made the southern country his border when he succeeded for the third time. He made the southern country his border when he succeeded for the fourth time. He made the southern country his border when he succeeded for the fifth ... Divided and advanced, the matter was accomplished early, and it stood for a long time at the end, waiting for the arrival of the princes. Moreover, have you not heard the words of Muye? King Wu defeated Yin and revolted against Shang. Before he got off the carriage, he enfeoffed the descendants of Huangdi in Ji, the descendants of Emperor Yao in Zhu, and the descendants of Emperor Shun in Chen. He got off the carriage and enfeoffed the descendants of Xiahou in Qi, and the descendants of Yin in Song. He enfeoffed the tomb of Prince Bi Gan, released the prisoner of Jizi, and sent him to Shang to restore his position. The common people relaxed their government, and the common people doubled their salaries. After crossing the Yellow River to the west, the horses were scattered on the south side of Huashan Mountain, and they were no longer ridden; the cattle were scattered in the wilds of Taolin, and they were no longer dressed. The chariots and armor were stored in the treasury, and they were no longer used. The weapons were carried upside down and wrapped in tiger skins; the generals and the generals were used For the princes; named it Jian Lu. Then we know that King Wu will not use troops again. Disperse the army and shoot in the suburbs, shoot the raccoon head with the left, shoot the Zhuo Yu with the right, and shoot the rest of the leather. Wear the imperial crown and hold the hu, and the tiger soldiers will talk about the sword. Sacrifice in the Mingtang and the people will know filial piety. After the court, the princes will know how to be a minister, and after the farming, the princes will know how to be respectful. The five are the great teachings of the world. The three elders and five changes are fed in the university, the emperor strips bare and cuts the animals, holds the sauce and gives the food, holds the cup and drinks, and wears the crown and holds the wine, so as to teach the princes. If this is the case, the Zhou Dao will spread everywhere, and the rituals and music will communicate. Then the delay of "Wu" is not appropriate! "
