The Song of Love

When a girl is betrothed, she is given a tassel; unless there is a serious reason, she will not enter the bride's house. When aunts, sisters, and daughters return home after getting married, brothers should not sit at the same table with them, nor eat from the same utensils with them. Father and son sit at different tables.

Master, come to the bowl quickly.

The sleeves should be round to correspond to the rule; the curved skirt should be like a square to correspond to the square; the rope should be carried to the ankle to correspond to the straightness; the lower part should be even like a scale to correspond to the balance. Therefore, the rule is to raise the hand for tolerance; the rope is carried to hold the square to straighten the politics and square the righteousness. Therefore, the Book of Changes says: Kun, "The movement of six two is straight and square." The lower part should be even like a scale to calm the mind and calm the heart. The five methods have been applied, so the sages follow them. Therefore, the rule is taken for its impartiality, the rope is taken for its straightness, and the scale is taken for its balance, so the ancient kings valued them. Therefore, he can be a civil servant, a military officer, a prime minister, or a military commander. He is perfect and not wasteful, which is the next best thing in clothing.

Rebirth of a Perfect Life

Confucius said: "When you enter a country, you can know its teachings. The people are gentle and kind, which is the teaching of the Book of Songs; broad-minded and far-sighted, which is the teaching of the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is the teaching of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is the teaching of the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is the teaching of the Book of Rites; and the use of words and metaphors to compare things is the teaching of the Spring and Autumn Annals. Therefore, the mistakes of the Book of Songs are foolish; the mistakes of the Book of Documents are slander; the mistakes of Music are extravagant; the mistakes of the Book of Changes are thieves; the mistakes of the Book of Rites are troublesome; and the mistakes of the Spring and Autumn Annals are disorder. The people are gentle and kind without being foolish, which means they are deeply in the Book of Songs; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is not thieves, which means they are deeply in the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is not troublesome, which means they are deeply in the Book of Rites; the use of words and metaphors to compare things is not disorderly, which means they are deeply in the Spring and Autumn Annals."

The Road of King and Husband

During the funeral of Duke Dao, Ji Zhaozi asked Meng Jingzi, "What should the monarch eat?" Jingzi said, "Eating porridge is the most common etiquette in the world. The fact that we three ministers cannot live in the public office has been heard by everyone in the four directions. If I try hard to be poor, then I can do it. Wouldn't it make people suspect that I live in poor conditions without emotion? I will eat."
