Section 488 End of the Minor Gathering
If the monarch dies and has not yet gathered a little, if at this time there are princes who have lost their country and live in other countries, and old ministers of a country come to mourn, the filial son will come out to welcome. The husband has died and has not yet been collected, if the monarch sends someone to come to mourn or give gifts at this time, the filial son will come out to greet him. When the doctor died, the doctor came to mourn, as long as he was not in a small way, the filial son had to come out to greet him. When all filial sons go out to greet them, they must go barefoot, tuck the hem of their clothes on their belts, beat their chests, and walk down the west steps to the main hall. In the court, the king bowed to the princes of other countries and the old ministers of a country who came to mourn.
The doctor was to greet the messenger sent by the king to pay his condolences outside the bedchamber; The envoy ascended to the hall to convey the will of the king, and the filial son bowed and thanked him at the bottom of the hall. The priest came to hang the doctor in person, and the filial son was only in place at the bottom of the west steps, and the doctor was crying facing east, but he did not greet him outside the door. When the wives of the princes living in other countries come to mourn, the king's wife will come out to greet them. When the king's wife sends messengers to the doctor's house to offer condolences, the doctor's wife is to greet her. As long as the wife of the scholar is not busy with the small gathering, she will go out to greet the wife of the doctor who came to mourn.
When the small is small, the master takes his place on the east side of the door, facing west; The housewife took her position on the west side of the door, facing east, and then she took her place. After the small collection is completed, the owner cries and jumps in front of the corpse, and the number of jumps is not limited. The housewife also weeps and jumps like her master. Then the owner bare his left arm, take off his fashion, and tie his hair in a bun with hemp. And the woman also went to the west room and showed her hair in a bun, and tied a linen belt around her waist. Then the curtain was removed, and relatives such as the owner and housewife respectfully lifted the body and moved it from the room to the two pillars in the hall. Then the host, housewife and others descended from the west steps and thanked the guests who came to hang themselves.
The king bowed to the princes of other countries, the old ministers of a country, the doctors and scholars who came to hang them, and the doctors and doctors who came to hang them one by one, and for the people who came to hang, no matter how many people there were, they only bowed three times to the direction where they stood. The king's wife also bowed to the princes and wives of other countries who came to pay their respects in the hall. The wife of the doctor and the wife of the scholar thanked the women who came to hang themselves one by one in the hall; For ordinary female guests, there is always a bow. After paying homage to the guests, the host took his place at the foot of the east steps, put on a sleeve on his left arm, wrapped a hemp belt around his waist, wore a hemp sutra on his head, and cried and jumped. If the mother dies, when the worshipper takes his seat at the foot of the east staircase, he does not need to brace his hair, but only wears it. Then set up a small foundation. From this time on, the guests who came to mourn should cover their robes so that the lamb's fur would not be exposed, and add hemp to the crown of the auspicious crown, and tie the hemp belt around the waist, and follow the master and the housewife to alternately pause and pat their breasts and weep.
For the funeral of the monarch, the Yu people provided firewood and spoons for scooping water, the Di people provided the pot leakage, and the Yong people provided the tripod for boiling water. For the funeral of the doctor, only the official is arranged to cry on behalf of the official, and the kettle leak is not set up, and the funeral of the doctor is done on behalf of the relatives, and the official must not be used to cry on behalf of the official. For the funeral of the king, two torches were lit in the hall and two torches were lit in the hall. For the doctor's funeral, one torch is lit in the hall and two are lit in the hall. For the funeral of the priest, only one torch was lit in the hall and under the hall.
At the end of the small gathering, the host went down to the hall to thank the guests who came to hang, and only after the guests left, did he remove the curtain from the hall. The position of the deceased in the hall is that the master is on the east side of the body, facing west; The housewife and the other women were on the west side of the body, facing east. If a mourner arrives at home at this time, he also weeps on the west side of the corpse, and the housewife and others move to the north, facing south. Women's greeting and sending off guests are different, even if they go down to the hall to greet and send off, they only kowtow and do not cry. The man went to bed to welcome the guests and did not cry. For the female guests who come to hang, if there is no housewife in the mourning house, the host will bow to the female guests in the dormitory; For the male guests who come to hang, if there is no owner in the mourning family, the housewife will bow to the male guests at the bottom of the east steps.
If the filial son is very young, let him wear filial piety clothes, and others will thank him for him. If the filial son is not at home for some reason, the reason should be explained for the hanger with the title, and the hanger without the title will be thanked by others. If the filial son is not at home and is in the country, he will wait for the filial son to come back to preside over the funeral; If you can't come back abroad, then someone else will have to preside over the funeral. In short, there are cases of losing family heirs, but there are no cases of no one presiding over the funeral.
For the funeral of the princes, three days after the death, the prince and his wife can carry the mourning rod; Five days after his death, the funeral has been held, and the prince has ordered the doctor and the wife to use the mourning rod. The prince and then the doctor, he could use a cane to the ground outside the dormitory door, and when he entered the dormitory, he had to put away the cane; Ladies and women can be held with a staff in the place where the spirit is stopped and mourned, and when they are in place in the hall and weep, they must be held by others; The prince of the world should temporarily throw away the mourning rod when greeting the envoys sent by the Son of Heaven to mourn, put away the staff when greeting the envoys sent by the princes to mourn, and temporarily throw away the mourning rod when participating in the divination and funeral day and the sacrifice after the Yu sacrifice.
