Crazy Son-in-law

In ancient times, the officials of the Zhou emperor had the Shuzi official. The Shuzi official was the Shuzi soldiers of the princes, ministers, officials, and scholars. He was in charge of their warnings and orders, and taught and governed them, distinguished their ranks, and corrected their positions. When the country had major events, he led the national sons to the eldest son and used them. If there were matters of armor and weapons, he would give them chariots and armor, combine their soldiers, and assign their officials to govern them by military law. Sima Fu did not correct them. In all state affairs, the Imperial Academy keeps wandering soldiers to cultivate virtue and learn the Dao. In spring, they learn various subjects, and in autumn, they learn archery to test their skills and promote or demote them.

Zeng Zi asked: "Do you mourn for three years?" Confucius said: "In the three-year mourning, you should be dressed, not stand in a group, and do not travel. Gentlemen use etiquette to embellish their feelings. If you mourn for three years, isn't it empty?" Zeng Zi asked: "The officials and scholars can get rid of their private mourning, but they have the monarch's mourning clothes. How can they get rid of it?" Confucius said: "If you have the monarch's mourning clothes on your body, you dare not wear them privately. How can you get rid of them? So it is not removed after the time has passed. In the case of the king's mourning, mourning is removed before offering sacrifices, which is a ritual. Zengzi asked, "Is it okay not to remove mourning for parents?" Confucius said, "The ancient kings established rituals, and did not perform them after the time has passed, which is a ritual; it is not that they cannot do it, but they are worried that it is too much. Therefore, a gentleman does not offer sacrifices after the time has passed, which is a ritual. Zengzi asked, "When the king dies, after the funeral, if the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Return home and live at home. If there are important things, go to the king's place and see him off morning and evening." He said, "After the king has been buried, if the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Go home and cry and come back to see the king off." He said, "If the king has not buried his parents, and the minister has parents in mourning, what should I do?" Confucius said, "Go home and cry and come back to see the king off. If there are important things, go back and see him off morning and evening. For officials, the old man in the house will perform the ritual; for scholars, the descendants will perform the ritual. The wife of a great official, if there is a serious matter, should also go to the king's place, morning and night. "
