Swear not to be the last

Xie Gong had the ambition to return to Dongshan at first, but later he received strict orders repeatedly and had no choice but to join Huan Gong's army. At that time, people presented medicinal herbs to Duke Huan, among which was Polygala tenuifolia. The Duke took it and asked Xie, "This medicine is also called 'Xiaocao'. Why does the same thing have two names?" Xie did not answer immediately. Hao Long was sitting there at the time, and he answered immediately, "This is very easy to understand: when it is inside, it is Polygala tenuifolia, and when it is outside, it is small grass." Xie looked very ashamed. Duke Huan thanked him with a smile and said, "General Hao's mistake is not bad, and he is very wise."

Ritual is to the right state: it is like a scale to weight, a ruler to straightness, and a compass to squareness. Therefore, if the scale is honestly hung, it cannot be deceived by the weight; if the ruler is honestly laid out, it cannot be deceived by the crookedness; if the rules are honestly set up, it cannot be deceived by the squareness and roundness; a gentleman examines the rites and cannot be accused of treachery. Therefore, those who respect the rites and follow the rites are called the gentlemen with the rules; those who do not respect the rites and do not follow the rites are called the people without the rules. It is the way of respect and yielding. Therefore, when serving the ancestral temple, one is respectful; when entering the court, the noble and the humble have their positions; when living at home, the father and son are close and the brothers are harmonious; when living in the village, the elders and the young are in order. Confucius said: "To settle the state and govern the people, nothing is better than rites." This is what he meant.
