The sage decided that this was not enough, so he built a palace and set up a temple to distinguish between the relatives and the gods and gods, and to teach the people not only to remember their distant ancestors, but also to worship their parents, and not to forget where they came from. This work very well, and the reason why the common people obey the leadership is because of this, and they obey very quickly. Since the names of the turtle and the god were established, two different rituals were used accordingly. The first is the ritual of the court, that is, the blood and intestinal fat are burned on the artemisia, and the smoke that rises is not only fragrant, but also mixed with the smell of artemisia. This is to repay the breath with the smell, which is God's. This simple and ancient ritual can remind people to reminisce about the beginning.

The first is the gift of cooked food, that is, the sacrifice of millet and the liver, lungs, head, and heart. Add two bottles of liquor, plus a depressed (chàng) wine. This is to repay the spirit with cooked food, that is, the ghost. This kind of cooked food sacrifice can serve to teach the people to love each other. For the sacrifice of the gods, and the sacrifice of the ghosts, it can be said that both ends are taken care of in terms of etiquette. The gentleman remembers his parents and even his distant ancestors, and does not forget where he came from, so he pays as much respect to them as he has, and shows as much affection as he has, and does his best to repay his relatives in the sacrificial activities, and does not dare to have the slightest reservation. Therefore, in the past, the Son of Heaven had a thousand acres of land, and when it was time for spring ploughing, he had to wear a top hat with a red hat belt and personally hold the plough to plough the land; The princes also borrowed hundreds of acres of land, and when it was time for spring ploughing, they had to wear a top hat tied with a cyan hat and plough the plough handle.

The income from the land is used to worship heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and ancestors. Sacrifices such as 醴cheese (lǐlào) and 黍稷 are the income from borrowing fields. What a pious sacrifice! In ancient times, the Son of Heaven and the princes had special officials to raise beasts, and at a certain time every year, the Son of Heaven and the princes had to go to inspect after fasting and bathing, because the sacrificial sacrifices that met the requirements must be selected from them, which was a manifestation of extreme reverence for the sacrifices. Three months before the sacrifice, the king sent people to bring the oxen and inspect them himself, selecting the oxen with pure hair and no damage to the body for divination. If you see a good omen, then raise the cow with respect. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, the king wears a leather robe and personally inspects the cattle raised. Such a great effort on this is also a manifestation of extreme filial piety.

In ancient times, the Son of Heaven and the princes also had a public mulberry garden and a silkworm palace, and built a city near the river to facilitate the rinsing of silkworm seeds. The silkworm breeding palace is one zhang high, surrounded by thorns as walls, and the door is locked. On the morning of the first day of the third month of the spring season, the monarch wore a leather robe, and through divination, he selected the wives and women in the harem who met the auspicious signs, and asked them to go to the silkworm room to raise silkworms. They take the silkworm seeds to the river to rinse, and go to the public mulberry garden to pick mulberry leaves, let the wind dry the dew on the mulberry leaves, and then use them to feed the silkworms. When the spring was over, the women of the world had come to an end raising silkworms, so they held the harvested silkworm cocoons and asked the monarch to look at them, and then presented the cocoons to his wife.

The lady said, "This is for the king's clothes." He wore a ceremonial dress and accepted it, and comforted the woman who offered the cocoon with the gift of the young prison. The etiquette of offering cocoons in ancient times is probably like this! On the auspicious day of the zodiac, the lady began to reel (sāo) silk. First, the lady puts her hand into the pot of the silkworm cocoon three times, and each time she pulls out a silk head, and then distributes the silkworm cocoon to the lady and the woman who meet the auspicious signs, and let them reel the silk. After that, they are dyed red, green, black, and yellow to make dresses with various patterns. After the dress was made, the monarch put on the dress to worship the first king and the first prince, which was really reverent to the extreme.

Zeng Tzu said: Filial piety has three grades. The first-class filial piety is to be able to shine on the father, the second-class filial piety is not to disgrace the reputation of the parents, and the third-class filial piety is to be able to support the parents. Zengzi's student Gong Mingyi asked Zengzi: Teacher, can you say that you have achieved filial piety? Zengzi replied: Where is that? What are the words! The so-called filial piety of a gentleman is to do what his parents want to do without waiting for his parents to express something, and at the same time he can reassure his parents that everything he does is in line with the right path. I can just support my parents, how can I say that I have achieved filial piety!

Zeng Tzu said: His body is the remains of his parents. Do you dare to be careless with the remains of your parents to do things? If you don't pay attention to your daily life, you are not filial; If you are not loyal to the monarch, you are unfilial; When doing things, it is child's play, that is, unfilial piety; Talking to friends doesn't count, it's unfilial; If you are not brave in battle, you are not filial. These five aspects can't be done, on the surface, it seems that they are being punished, but in fact, they are harming the remains of their parents, from this point of view, dare not be careful! With delicious food and sacrifices when the year is old, this cannot be counted as filial piety, but can only be counted as raising.

The so-called filial piety of the gentleman is admired and applauded by the whole country: It is really blessed to have such a son's father and mother! This is the so-called filial piety. The root of all kinds of morality is called filial piety, and the manifestation of behavior is called nurturing. Even if it can be done, it is difficult to respect; Even if respect can be done, it is difficult without reluctance; Even if it can be done without reluctance, it is difficult to persist after the death of a parent. After the death of parents, they can also carefully use the remains of their parents to act, and do not cause their parents to be criticized, which is called lifelong filial piety.

The so-called benevolence is to be benevolent in filial piety; The so-called rite is to fulfill the word filial piety; The so-called righteousness is to do things that are suitable for filial piety; The so-called faith is to be honest in filial piety; The so-called hard work is to strive to make a fuss about filial piety. Joy arises from acting in accordance with filial piety, and punishment is caused by acting in violation of filial piety. Zeng Zi said: filial piety as a virtue, erected can stand up to the sky, flat can cover the four seas, passed on to future generations are also pursued by people forever, and are not subject to geographical restrictions, to promote to the East China Sea is the criterion, to the West Sea is the criterion, to promote the South China Sea is the criterion, to promote the North Sea is also the criterion.
