Therefore, etiquette is the magic weapon used by the monarch to establish his life. Therefore, the rite must originate from heaven, and the decree of surrender is issued according to the way of heaven.

Some ceremonies originate from the ground, and the decree of the shrine is issued according to the authentic way.

Some of the rituals are derived from the five rituals of the gods of the mountains and rivers of the ancestors of the ghosts, gods, and gods, so there are rituals of the temple that embody benevolence and righteousness, and the sacrifices of the mountains and rivers that provide construction materials, and the sacrifices of the five rituals that are based on the establishment system.

Therefore, the saints referred to the heavens and the earth from below, and examined the ghosts and gods to make government decrees.

The Holy King can deal with the existence order of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and the order of rituals will also be there; If you can play with the hobby of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, the governance of the people will be easy to do.

If the monarch can make correct use of these four rules, he will be able to stand in a place where he will not make mistakes.

Therefore, as a king, one should be an example for people to follow, not one for others; It should be people who are happy to give, not to others; It should be the object of people's service, not the one who serves others.

Therefore, if the king imitates others, it means that the king has made a mistake, and the king must not have enough strength to provide for all the people alone, and if the king dresses others, he will lose the throne of the king.

Therefore, the people are all following the example of the monarch to achieve self-management, providing for the monarch to achieve self-stability, and serving the monarch to achieve self-exaltation.

The whole country understands this ceremony, and if the names of the top and bottom are determined, everyone will be willing to sacrifice for the country and be ashamed to live in secret.

The monarch should reuse the wise, brave and benevolent, but pay attention to taking their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.

Beware of the wise man's deceit, so the brave man should avoid his emotional impulses, and the virtuous man should be wary of his greed.

When the country has an external threat, it is natural that the monarch and the land will coexist and die; The doctor's death to defend the temple of the monarch is the duty and justification.

Therefore, the saint can make the whole world like a family, and the whole people like a person, not by subjective conjecture, but by understanding people's feelings, understanding people's righteousness, understanding people's interests, and being familiar with people's sufferings, and then they can do it.

What is human affection?

Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, and evil desires, these seven kinds of emotions that will be learned without learning are human feelings.

What is called human righteousness, the father is loving, the son is filial, the brother is friendly, the younger brother is obedient, the husband is responsible, the wife is obedient, the elder is favored, the younger is obedient, the monarch is benevolent, and the courtier is loyal.

∵, MCO pays attention to credit and maintains harmony, which is called human benefit.

You fight for each other and kill each other, this is called human trouble.

If a saint wants to channel people's seven feelings, maintain the ten norms of family relations, advocate humility, and avoid contention, there is no better way than etiquette.

Diet and men and women are the biggest things for people.

Death and poverty are man's greatest loathing.

This greatest ** and the greatest disgust constitute the two major things that people's hearts think about day and night.

Everyone hides their thoughts in their stomachs, unfathomable.

The beautiful name or ugly thoughts are hidden deep in the heart, and from the outside, if you want to figure it out thoroughly, I am afraid there is no other way than etiquette.

People are born by the virtue of heaven and earth, the combination of yin and yang, the combination of form and spirit, and the absorption of the essence of the five elements.

Therefore the heavens hold the yang energy, showing the light of the sun, moon and stars; The earth holds yin qi, and uses mountains and rivers as holes to swallow and breathe.

The five elements are distributed in the four seasons, and the four seasons are in a clear order, and the movement of the sun follows the orbit, and the moon will appear on time.

So on the first fifteen days of the month, the moon changes from a crescent moon to a full moon, and on the last fifteen days, it changes from a full moon to a crescent moon.

The operation of the five elements, one goes and the other, and takes turns to call the shots.

The five elements of the four seasons are in December, and one alternates as the beginning; Five tones, six rhythms, twelve pipes, alternating as palace sounds at one time; Five flavors, six and twelve foods, alternating at one time as the main taste; Five colors, six chapters, and twelve clothes, alternating at one time as the main color.

Therefore, man is the soul of heaven and earth, the head of all things composed of the five elements, and a kind of spirit who knows when to eat and what to taste, when to listen to what sound, and when to wear what color clothes.

Therefore, the sage must take the law of heaven and earth as the foundation, take the law of yin and yang as the big end, take the law of the four times as the key, take the law of the sun and stars as the outline, take the law of the moon as the distinction, take the law of the embankment as the disciple of the mountains and rivers, take the law of the five elements as the main body, take the etiquette as the tool of cultivating the land, and treat the human affection as the field, and even the four spirits of the lin, phoenix, turtle and dragon have become domestic animals.

Because heaven and earth are the foundation, all things can be encompassed; Take yin and yang as the big end, so human affection can be perceived; Take the four o'clock as the key, so you will not lose the agricultural time, and the work is easy to do; The sun star is used as the discipline, so the order of doing things is easy to arrange; Take the waxing and waning of the moon as a distinction, so what you do every month is orderly; The mountains and rivers are regarded as subordinates, so everyone has a duty; Take the five elements as the main body, so everything can be repeated; Take etiquette and righteousness as a utensil, so that everything can be done successfully; Treat human affection as a field, so people will be the masters of the field; The four spirits are regarded as domestic animals, so the diet is based on materials.

Why are they called the Four Spirits?

They are the kings of the four types of animals, and they are called the four spirits.

So, if the dragon has become a domestic animal, then its scale subordinates will follow; If the phoenix has become a domestic animal, then its feather clan subordinates will also come one after another; If the scale has become a domestic animal, then its Mao subordinates will also obediently submit; If the turtle has become a domestic animal, it can be used for divination and to detect human feelings in advance.

Therefore, the first king upheld yarrow and tortoise shell, arranged sacrifices, buried silk to sacrifice to the ground, read greetings and gu, and set up various systems.

Therefore, the people of the country are polite, and the officials govern their own affairs, and all things have rules, and all the rituals performed have an order.
