The performance of "Si Xia" by the ministers was started by Zhao Wenzi. The court audience is a private audience by the ministers, which is not a courtesy. The ministers hold the jade tablets and go on missions to show their trust; they dare not meet privately, so as to show respect; but they meet privately in the court, why do they do it in the court of the princes? As ministers, they have no foreign relations and dare not be two-minded. It is not a courtesy for the ministers to entertain the king.

The princes dare not worship the emperor, and the officials dare not worship the princes. And the public temple is set up in private homes, which is not etiquette, and it started with the Three Huans.
