Chen Guang said: The duty of the Son of Heaven is no greater than the courtesy, the courtesy is greater than the points, and the points are greater than the name. What is etiquette? Discipline is also. What is the meaning of division? Monarchs and ministers are also. What is a name? Gong, Hou, Qing, and Doctor are also.

Chen Sima Guang said: I know that the most important duty of the Son of Heaven is to maintain the rites and religions, and the most important thing in the rites and religions is to distinguish status, and the most important thing in distinguishing positions is Kuang Zheng's name. What is Etiquette and Religion? It is the law and discipline. What is the distinction between status and status? That is, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister. What is a title? It is an official title, such as a duke, a marquis, a secretary, and a doctor.

The husband is the breadth of the four seas, the people of the trillion people, subject to one person, although he has the unparalleled strength, the wisdom of the world, all of them do not run and serve, is not the discipline of etiquette! Therefore, the Son of Heaven unified the three dukes, the three dukes led the princes, the princes controlled the secretary doctor, and the secretary doctor ruled the scholars. Expensive to cheap, cheap to inherit. The upper and lower are still the luck of the henchmen, the root of the system of the branches, the next thing is like the guardians of the henchmen, the branches and leaves of the roots, and then the upper and lower can protect the country and the country. Therefore, it is said that the duty of the Son of Heaven is greater than courtesy.

The vastness of the four seas and the multitude of hundreds of millions of people are all subject to the Son of Heaven alone. Even though he is a person of outstanding talent and wisdom, he cannot but run and serve the Son of Heaven at his feet, and this is not the role of etiquette as the outline of etiquette and discipline! Therefore, the Son of Heaven commands the three princes, and the three princes lead the princes and kings, and the princes and kings control the secretaries and doctors, and the officials and doctors rule over the scholars and the people. The magnates dominate the untouchables, and the untouchables obey the magnates. The upper echelons command the lower layers like a person's henchmen control the movement of their limbs, and the roots and stems of a tree control the branches and leaves; the lower echelons serve the upper echelons like a person's limbs protect their henchmen, and the branches and leaves of a tree protect the roots and stems, so that the upper and lower layers can protect each other, so that the country can achieve long-term peace and stability. Therefore, there is no more important duty of the Son of Heaven than the maintenance of etiquette.

King Wen's preface "Yi", headed by Qian and Kun. Confucius said: "Heaven respects the earth, and the earth is humble, and the universe is fixed." The humble is Chen, and the noble and lowly are in the position. "The position of the monarch and the minister is as simple as heaven and earth. "Spring and Autumn" suppresses the princes, respects the royal family, although the king is small, the order is above the princes, so that it is not bad to see the saint when he is in the monarch and minister. It is not the violence of the Emperor and the Emperor, the benevolence of Tang and Wu, the return of people, the mandate of heaven, and the distinction between monarchs and ministers should be observant and die. Therefore, the micro-son and the substitution of the soup will become the soup with the sky, and the king and Wu will eat the blood of the uncle, but the second son would rather die in the country than do it, and the great festival of sincerity and etiquette should not be chaotic. Therefore, it is said that the rite is greater than the cent.

King Wen of Zhou performed and arranged the Book of Changes, with Qian and Kun as the first place. Confucius explained: "Heaven is noble, earth is humble, and yang and yin are determined." Arranged in an orderly manner from low to high, the high and the low will also have their place. This means that the relationship between the ruler and his courtiers is as incommutable as heaven and earth. The book "Spring and Autumn" belittles the princes and respects the Zhou royal family, although the official status of the Zhou royal family is not high, the order in the book is still above the princes and monarchs, which shows that the Confucian sage paid attention to the relationship between the monarch and the minister. If it weren't for the tyrannical and faint kings like Xia Wei and Shang Xuan, and the opponent met a benevolent and virtuous lord like Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou, so that the people would return to their hearts and be given orders by God, the status between the monarch and the minister could only be to abide by the courtier's festival and die unswervingly. Therefore, if the Shang Dynasty appointed a virtuous Weizi as the monarch to replace the king of Zhou, the Shang Dynasty founded by Cheng Tang could forever match the heavens, and if the Wu Kingdom made the benevolent Ji Za as the monarch, the founding monarch Taibo could also enjoy the sacrifice forever. However, Weizi and Jizha would rather the destruction of the country than be the monarch, because the festival of etiquette must not be destroyed. Therefore, the most important thing in etiquette is the distinction between high and low status.

Husband etiquette, distinguish between the noble and the low, the order of relatives and sparseness, the cutting of group things, the system of affairs, not the name is not not, not the instrument is not formed; When the famous weapon is dead, then Li'an has to be alone! Uncle Xi Zhong has contributed to the guard, and he resigned from the city and asked for Fanying, and Confucius thought that it was better to have more with him. Only the name and the instrument cannot be dummy, and the ruler is also in charge; Wei Jun treated Confucius and became a politician, Confucius wanted to correct his name first, thinking that if his name was not correct, the people would be at a loss. The husband is complicated, the small things are also, and Confucius cherishes it; the name is correct, the details are also, and Confucius is the first: sincerity is the name of the instrument is chaotic, and the upper and lower are not able to protect each other. The sage's concern is far away, so he can be careful about his subtlety, and the knowledge of the people is close, so he will wait for his work and then save it; "Yi" said: "Walking on frost and ice," and "Book" said: "One day, two days, ten thousand," which is also called this kind of thing. Therefore, it is said that the score is greater than the name.

The so-called etiquette and religion lie in distinguishing between the high and the low, ranking the relatives and the sparse, judging all things, and dealing with daily things. If you don't have a certain position, you can't show it, and if you don't have utensils, you can't show it. Only by using the name to distinguish the name, and using the utensils to mark the difference, and then the top and bottom can be orderly. This is the essence of etiquette. If there are no more names and utensils, then how can the religion of etiquette exist alone! When Uncle Zhong Yu Xi made great contributions to the defense of the country, he refused the fief of the reward, but asked him to be allowed to enjoy the horse ornaments that only nobles should have. Confucius thought that it was better to reward him with more fiefs, but the name and utensils should never be faked to others, which was a symbol of the king's power; if he did not adhere to principles in handling political affairs, the country would also perish. The monarch expected Confucius to handle political affairs for him, but Confucius first wanted to establish a position, believing that if the position was not right, the people would have nothing to do. Horse ornament is a kind of small utensil, but Confucius cherished its value; the right name is a small thing, but Confucius has to start from it, that is, because the name and utensils are disordered, the country can not protect each other. There is nothing that does not arise from a small thing and gradually develops significantly, and the sages have long thought about it, so they can be cautious about the small changes and deal with them in a timely manner; To correct the initial small mistakes, the force is small but the results are great, and to save the obvious major evils, it is often impossible to succeed even if we try our best. The Book of Changes says: "Walking on the frost and knowing that the cold and ice are coming." The Book of Shang says: "The first king had to deal with thousands of things every day. This is an example of this kind of prevention. Therefore, the most important thing to distinguish between high and low status is to correct the status of each rank
