The Great Dao

, the Xiahou clan valued rank and seniority, the Yin people valued wealth and seniority, and the Zhou people valued relatives and seniority. The Yu, Xia, Yin and Zhou dynasties were the most prosperous kings in the world, and there was no one who neglected his age. Age is the most important thing in the world; it is second only to serving one’s parents. Therefore, when the court has the same rank, seniority is valued. When a man is seventy, he cane him in the court, and when the king asks him, he sits down. When a man is eighty, he does not wait for the court, but when the king asks him, he goes to the court. When walking, he does not walk side by side, but follows him if he is not wrong. When seeing an old man, the cart drivers will make way for him; the gray-haired man does not walk on the road by his position, but the younger brother can reach the road. In the countryside, seniority is used, and the old and the poor are not left behind, the strong do not bully the weak, and the majority do not oppress the minority, and the younger brother can reach the alleys of the state. In the ancient way, people at the age of fifty were not forced to work in the fields, and they were given gifts to honor the elders, and the younger brother could be used to hunt. In the army, seniority is valued for the same rank, and the younger brother can reach the army. Filial piety and brotherhood are spread throughout the court, on the roads, in the alleys of the prefectures, in the hunting grounds, and in the army. The people die for the sake of righteousness, and dare not violate it.

Part-time Hell Lord

In the suburban sacrifice, the mourners dare not cry, and those in mourning clothes dare not enter the country gate, which is the utmost respect. On the day of the sacrifice, the king leads the animal, the mu answers the king, and the ministers follow in order. After entering the temple gate, they are beautiful in front of the stele. The ministers and officials bare their clothes, and the hairy cows are still ears. They are cut with a phoenix knife, and the flesh and blood are taken out before they leave. Burning the sacrifice, offering the smell and leaving, is the utmost respect. In the suburban sacrifice, the great report to the sky is the main sun, and the moon is paired with it. The Xiahou clan sacrificed to the dark, the Yin people sacrificed to the yang, and the Zhou people sacrificed to the sun, starting in the morning and in the dark. Sacrifice to the sun on the altar, and sacrifice to the moon on the pit, to distinguish between the living and the dead, and to control the upper and lower. Sacrifice the sun in the east and the moon in the west to distinguish the outside from the inside and to set their positions. The sun rises in the east and the moon rises in the west. The length and shortness of yin and yang, the beginning and the end, are in rotation, so as to achieve harmony in the world. The rituals of the world are to return to the beginning, to respect ghosts and gods, to achieve harmony, to achieve righteousness, and to achieve yielding. Return to the beginning to strengthen the foundation; respect ghosts and gods to respect the superiors; use things to establish the rules of the people. If righteousness is achieved, the upper and lower will not rebel. If yielding is achieved, disputes will be eliminated. Combining these five is the ritual to govern the world. Although there are strange evils, those who cannot be governed are very small.

Wang Zhonglang loved Zhang Tianxi very much and asked him, "You have seen the paths and tracks of the people who crossed the Yangtze River. What is so great about the tracks on the left side of the Yangtze River? How are the later talents compared with the Central Plains?" Zhang said, "Since Wang and He, we have studied the profound and profound things. We have made changes according to the times, following the style of Xun and Yue." Wang said, "You have more knowledge and insights, why did you let Fu Jian control you?" He replied, "The yang disappears and the yin rests, so the steps of the sky are slow; the negative and positive are stripped away to form an image, so why should we criticize you too much?"

Newcomers

When King Wen was the crown prince, he went to court with King Ji at three o'clock in the morning. When the cock first crowed, he dressed and went to the door of the bedroom. He asked the eunuchs, "How are you today?" The eunuchs said, "All right." King Wen was happy. At noon, he came again, and did the same. At dusk, he came again, and did the same. If there was any irregularity, the eunuchs would tell King Wen, and King Wen looked worried and could not walk straight. King Ji had a meal, and then he returned to the beginning. When the food was on top, it must be on the spot. He looked at the cold and warm rhythm. When the food was down, he asked what the meal was. He ordered the chef to say, "Is there a source at the end!" The answer was, "Yes." "Then they withdrew. King Wu led the way and dared not add anything. King Wen was ill, but King Wu did not take off his hat and belt to nurse him. When King Wen ate once, he also ate once; when King Wen ate twice, he also ate twice. After ten days, they stopped. King Wen asked King Wu, "What did you dream about?" King Wu replied, "I dreamed that the emperor and I were nine years older." King Wen said, "What do you think it was?" King Wu said, "There are nine countries in the west. Will the king finally rule them?" King Wen said, "No. In ancient times, age was called age, and teeth were also age. I am a hundred and you are ninety, so I am three of you." King Wen died at the age of ninety-seven, and King Wu died at the age of ninety-three. King Cheng was young and could not ascend the throne, so Duke Zhou became his prime minister and ruled the country.
