That year I met you

Wine Memories

　　Liu Yin and Huan Xuanwu listened to the lecture on the Book of Rites together. Huan said: "Sometimes I feel that I am close to the mysterious door." Liu said: "This is not the ultimate, it is the words of the Jinhua Palace."

For you, I draw a line

When serving the king, the 袆衣 hangs down, the feet are like shoes, the chin hangs down, looks down and listens up, looks at the belt and the 襢衣, and listens to the left. When the king summons, he wears three sections: two sections for running and one section for walking. In office, do not wait for shoes, and outside, do not wait for cars. When a scholar meets an official, he dare not bow to greet him but bow to see him off; when a scholar meets a respected person, he bows first and then walks away. When a scholar talks to a lord, if an official dies, he should be called by his given name, and be called a scholar. When talking to an official, he should be called a scholar and be called a scholar. When talking to an official, he should be called a scholar and be called a scholar. When meeting an official, there are public taboos but no private taboos. There is no taboo in sacrifices, temples, or teaching. In ancient times, gentlemen must wear jade, with Zhengjiao on the right and Gongyu on the left. When walking, he should use the "Cai Qi" and walk in the "Si Xia". He should return to the middle rule and bend to the middle rule. When he advances, he should bow and when he retreats, he should raise his head, and then the jade will ring. Therefore, when a gentleman is in a car, he can hear the sound of the phoenix, and when he walks, his jade will ring. Therefore, if he does not have a dignified heart, he will not enter.

The Holy King of Eight Desolations

Xun Xu was good at understanding sounds, and people at that time called him a secret understander. Then he adjusted the musical scale and corrected the elegant music. During every formal meeting, music was played in the palace, with the tunes of the gong and shang being adjusted to the rhythm of the music. Ruan Xian appreciated it very much and praised it as a divine understanding. Every time there is music in a public gathering, the mind is not in tune. Since he did not say a word of encouragement, he was jealous of him and thus sent Ruan away to be the prefect of Shiping. Later, there was a farmer who was tilling the field and found a jade ruler from the Zhou Dynasty. This became the standard ruler for the whole world. Xun tried to compare the bells, drums, metal, stone, silk and bamboo instruments he had made, and found that they were all one grain short, so he subdued Ruan's spirit.

The Duke said, “Why don’t gentlemen today practice this?” Confucius said, “Gentlemen today are insatiable in their love of goods, untiring in their indulgence of virtue, idle and arrogant, and are sure to destroy the people. They use the people at noon to attack those who have the Way; they seek what they want, not what they should. In the past, people were used from the front, but now people are used from the back. Gentlemen today do not practice etiquette.”
