When the man heard this, he corrected himself; Du Qiao's mother died, and there was no one in the funeral palace to pay tribute, and the commentators thought it was too sketchy; The master said that a relative had just died, and a person who wore an auspicious garment such as a lamb fur and a crown to hang himself should be changed to a plain crown and a deep coat; The Lamb Qiu Xuanguan, the Master will not wear it to mourn.
Ziyou asked Confucius about the thickness of the final object, and Confucius said: As long as the thickness is commensurate; Ziyou then asked: How to master the standard of thick and thin?

Zixia asked the master and said: What should I do if I encounter the funeral of the king's mother and wife? Confucius said: Residence, speech, and food are basically the same.
