Notes

After Wang Dun got down from the boat, he stopped at Shitou, intending to depose Emperor Ming. The guests were seated in large numbers. Dun knew that the emperor was intelligent and wanted to depose him for being unfilial. Whenever someone mentioned the emperor's unfilial behavior, they always said it was said by Concubine Wen. Wen once served as the commander of the Eastern Palace, and later became our Sima, and he knows it very well. Soon, Wen came. Dun showed his authority and asked Wen, "What kind of person is the Crown Prince?" Wen said, "A mean person cannot judge a gentleman." Dun's tone was stern, and he wanted to use his authority to make him obey him, so he asked Wen again, "Why is the Crown Prince good?" Wen said, "He is a man of deep insight, which is beyond the reach of shallow knowledge. However, he serves his parents with courtesy, which can be called filial piety."

When Wang Zijing and his brothers met Duke Xi, they tiptoed to ask for his advice and were very polite to outsiders. When the guests died, they all wore chopsticks and high sandals, and had a disrespectful demeanor. When they were ordered to sit down, they all said, "We are busy and have no time to sit down." After they left, Xi Gong said with deep emotion, "If the distinguished guests were still alive, how dare you rats do this!"

The Master said: "What is etiquette? It is the management of affairs. The gentleman has his affairs, and he must manage them. To govern the country without etiquette is like a blind man without friends. What can the entourage do? It is like someone who seeks in a dark room all night, how can he see without a candle? If there is no etiquette, then the hands and feet will not be able to move, the ears and eyes will not be able to add, and the advance and retreat, bowing and yielding will not be controlled. Therefore, if it is used in the residence, the elder and the younger will lose their distinction; the boudoir and the three clans will lose their harmony; the court and the official titles will lose their order; hunting and military affairs will lose their strategies; the army and military achievements will lose their rules; the palace will lose its measure; the tripod will lose its image; the food will lose its time; the music will lose its mode; the car will lose its style; the ghosts and gods will lose their feast; the funeral will lose its sorrow; the debate will lose its party; the official will lose its form; the government affairs will lose its implementation; it will be imposed on the body and mishandled in front, and all the actions of the crowd will lose their appropriateness. In this way, there is no way to reconcile with the crowd. ”

The Master said: “The government is not going well, the education is not successful, the rank and salary are not enough to encourage, and the punishment is not enough to shame. Therefore, the superior should not be profane and treat the rank lightly. The Kanggao says: ‘Respect and wisdom are punishment. '"Fu Xing" says: "The spread of punishment is not good. '"
