Trouble in the Red Mansion

The Poison Doctor

After three days, the body is buried. The body on the bed is called a corpse, and the body in the coffin is called a coffin. When the corpse is moved and the coffin is lifted, there are countless cries and jumps. The heart of pity and pain and the intention of grief and illness are strong, so the body is exposed and jumps, so as to move the body and calm the heart and lower the qi. Women should not expose their chests, so they beat their chests and jump, and they are as loud as a broken wall, which is the extreme of grief and pain. Therefore, it is said: "The body is jumped and wept, and the body is sent away with sorrow. The body is sent away and the spirit is welcomed back."

The pickled beans are the harmonious air of aquatic plants; the meat is produced on land. The beans are produced on land; the meat is aquatic. The offerings of the bamboo baskets and beans are the products of the water and soil. We dare not use the usual vulgar food and value the rich food.

The big soup is not harmonious, it is the value of its quality. The big jade is not polished, it is the beauty of its quality. The beauty of the red lacquer carved table and the plain carriage are the respect for its simplicity and the value of its quality. The reason for communicating with the gods and spirits should not be the same as the meaning of comfort. Only in this way can it be appropriate. The odd shapes of the tripod and the even shapes of the dishes and the yin and yang are the meaning of yin and yang. The yellow eyes are the supreme respect of the depressed qi. Yellow means the middle; eyes are the clear and bright qi. It means to pour in the middle and be clear and bright outside. To offer sacrifice to the heaven, sweep the ground and offer sacrifice there, it is the quality. The beauty of pickled meat and salt, and the popularity of salt, are because they are produced by nature. The use of a knife and the value of a phoenix knife are because of their righteousness. The sound is harmonious before it can be cut.

They love death and wait for it, and nourish their bodies and do things. They are like this in their preparation.
