Crown genuine

Across the distance of thousands of years, you are always in my heart

In the past, Huan Qian was compared to Yin Zhongwen. During the reign of Huan Xuan, Zhongwen entered the palace. Huan saw him from the courtyard and said to those sitting beside him, "We are the military commanders of our family. How can we be as good as this?"

No jealousy, no joy

Xie Wan wrote an essay on the Eight Sages, which was a counter-argument to Sun Xinggong's, and the difference was slightly better. After thanking her, she showed it to Gu Junqi, who said, "I also made it, and I know you don't want to name it."

Rural Doctor

The etiquette of mourning is that if one is thin and emaciated, one's appearance will not be affected, and one's sight and hearing will not be impaired. One should not ascend or descend by the steps on the east side, and one should not enter or leave through the tunnels. The etiquette of mourning is that if there is a wound on the head, one should wash it, if there is an ulcer on the body, one should bathe it, if one is sick, one should drink wine and eat meat, and when the illness stops, one should return to the original state. If one cannot bear the mourning, it is like being unkind and unfilial. At fifty, you will not be ruined; at sixty, you will not be ruined; at seventy, you will only wear mourning clothes, drink wine, eat meat, and stay at home. Life and the future, death and the past. Those who know life mourn, and those who know death are sad. Those who know life but not death mourn but are not sad; those who know death but not life are sad but not mourn. When mourning, you cannot give a gift, and do not ask how much it costs. When asking about illness, you cannot leave it, and do not ask what it wants. When meeting someone, you cannot stay at the house, and do not ask where it lives. Those who give gifts do not say "come and take". Those who give to others do not ask what they want. When visiting a grave, do not climb the ridge, and when helping with the burial, you must hold the rope. Do not smile at a funeral. When bowing to someone, you must go against your position. Do not sing when looking at the coffin. Do not fly when entering. Do not sigh when eating. When a neighbor dies, do not pound the mortar together. When there is a funeral in the village, do not sing in the alley. Do not sing when visiting a grave. Do not sing on the day of mourning. Do not take the shortcut when sending off a funeral, and do not avoid muddy roads when sending off a funeral. When facing a funeral, one must have a sad look, hold a rope and do not smile, and when facing music, one must not sigh; when wearing armor, one must have an expression of being untouchable.

Nine Swords of Heaven

Feng Gui Xi

In this month, the emperor prayed to the God of Heaven on the first day of the year. He chose the first day of the year, and the emperor personally carried the plow and hoe, placed it in the imperial room with the guardian, and led the three dukes, nine ministers, princes and officials to personally plough the imperial fields. The emperor pushed three times, the three dukes five times, and the ministers and princes nine times. When he returned, he held the wine cup in the great bedroom, and the three dukes, nine ministers, princes and officials all drove, and ordered: "Work hard and drink wine."

Avenge the previous shame

When Zhi Daoling returned to the east, the wise men of the time saw him off at Zhenglu Pavilion. Cai Zishu came forward and sat close to Lin Gong. Xie Wanshi came later and sat a little far away. Cai got up temporarily, and Xie moved to his place. When Cai returned, he saw Xie there. He folded the mattress, lifted Xie up and threw him to the ground, then sat down again. He thanked the emperor for taking off his hat and cap, then slowly stood up, straightened his clothes and sat down on the mat. He looked very calm and not angry or frustrated at all. After sitting down, he said to Cai, "You are a strange man, and you may ruin my reputation." Cai replied, "I don't care about your reputation." After that, neither of them minded.
