Confessions Hiding in the Old Times

A wonderful accident

The Master said, “If there is a car, you must see its rails; if there is a garment, you must see its wear; if someone talks about it, you must hear its sound; if someone walks about it, you must see its completion. The Ge Tan says, ‘If you wear it, you must shoot it.’” The Master said, “If you follow what you say, then your words cannot be embellished; if you follow what you say, then your actions cannot be embellished. Therefore, a gentleman speaks little, but walks to establish his credibility, so that the people cannot exaggerate his virtues and minimize his faults. The Book of Songs says, ‘The stain on the jade tablet can still be polished; the stain on this speech cannot be made.’ The Xiaoya says, ‘The gentleman is sincere, and the development is great.’ The Jun Shi says, ‘In the past, when the God of Heaven was in power, Zhou Tian observed the virtue of King Wen, and he gathered the great destiny in his body.’” The Master said, “The southerners have a saying, ‘If a man is not constant, he cannot be used for divination.’ Is this the saying left by the ancients? Even the tortoise shells cannot tell, let alone people? The Book of Songs says: ‘My tortoise is tired, but I still don’t tell it.’ The Book of Changes says: ‘The title is not equal to the bad virtue. The people stand up and do the right things. They are pure and offer sacrifices. This is disrespectful; things are complicated and chaotic, and serving the gods is difficult.’ The Book of Changes says: ‘If you don’t keep your virtue, you may suffer shame. If you keep your virtue, it will be auspicious for women and bad for men.’”

In mourning, the hair was tied with hemp; for the mother, the hair was tied with hemp, and the hair was loose and cloth was worn. In mourning, the hair was not worn with a hairpin to end the mourning. Men wore a cap and women wore a hairpin, men wore a hairpin and women wore a hairpin. Its meaning: for men, it was loose, and for women, it was a hairpin. Zhuzhang is bamboo; xuzhang is tung. After the grandfather died, the next year was three years after the grandmother. For parents, the eldest son bowed his head. When a senior official offers condolences, he must bow his head even if he is in mourning. A woman bows her head for her husband and the eldest son, but not for the rest. A male head must have the same surname as the head of the family, while a female head must have a different surname. A descendant of a father does not need to mourn for his mother. To be close to relatives, three is five, and five is nine. Kill the upper ones, the lower ones, and the side ones, and the close relatives are complete. The king shall offer sacrifices to the ancestor from whom he was born, and marry him with his ancestor, and establish four temples. The same is true for a concubine's son to be king. The son who is separated from the other is the ancestor, the one who succeeds the other is the clan leader, and the one who succeeds the niece is the minor clan leader. After five generations, the clan leader is moved to the clan leader, and he is the one who succeeds the great-grandfather. Therefore, the ancestor is moved to the upper one, and the clan leader is moved to the lower one. Respecting the ancestors means respecting the clan leader, and respecting the clan leader means respecting the ancestors and the niece. A concubine's son does not offer sacrifices to the ancestors, so that his clan leader is clear. A concubine's son is not beheaded for the eldest son, because he does not inherit the ancestors and the niece. A concubine's son does not offer sacrifices to the deceased or the one who has no descendants, because the deceased or the one who has no descendants is buried with the ancestors. A concubine's son does not offer sacrifices to the niece, so that his clan leader is clear. Love your relatives and respect your elders. The difference between men and women is the greatest of human nature.

I married my ex-husband's fourth uncle

Zi Gan met Shi Yi and asked him, "I heard that each song has its own merits. What should I sing?" Shi Yi said, "I am a lowly worker, so why should I ask what is appropriate? Please recite what I heard, and I will stick to it: Those who are broad-minded and calm, gentle and upright should sing Song. Those who are broad-minded and calm, open-minded and trustworthy should sing Da Ya. Those who are respectful and frugal and like etiquette should sing Xiao Ya. Those who are upright and calm, honest and modest should sing Feng. Those who are unrestrained and kind should sing Shang; those who are gentle and decisive should sing Qi. Singing is to be upright and to show virtue. When you move yourself, the heaven and earth respond, the four seasons are harmonious, the stars are in order, and all things are nurtured. Therefore, Shang is the legacy of the Five Emperors. The business people know Qi is the sound left over from the Three Dynasties, and the people of Qi know it, so they call it Qi. Those who know the sound of Shang are often decisive in dealing with things, and those who know the sound of Qi are yielding when seeing benefits. Being often decisive in dealing with things is courage; yielding when seeing benefits is righteousness. Who can guarantee courage and righteousness except singing? Therefore, the singer is like a resistance above, a team below, a bend like a bend, a stop like a dead wood, a square in the middle, a hook in the sentence, and a string of pearls. Therefore, singing is a long speech. It is said because it pleases; it is not enough, so it is said for a long time; it is not enough because it is not enough, so it is sighed; sighing is not enough, so it does not know how to dance with hands and feet. "Zi Gong asked about music.

　　A guest once asked Chen Jifang, "What merits and virtues did your lord Taiqiu have to deserve such high reputation?" Jifang replied, "My lord is like a laurel tree growing on the edge of Mount Tai, which is ten thousand feet high and unfathomably deep. It is moistened by the sweet dew above and moistened by the deep spring below. At that time, how could the laurel tree know the height of Mount Tai and the depth of the deep spring? It didn't know whether it had merits or not!"
