The third Yu sacrifice and the ceremonies of the pawn crying are all used on a single day, but the ritual of the pawn crying is not used on the first single day, that is, the second single day after the three yus.

After the three offerings are completed, before the beans and beans are removed, the corpses must be sacrificed. The two clay vessels (wǔ) are located on the right and south of the dormitory door. The earthenware for water is on the west side of the pot for wine, and the handle of the spoon is facing north. The washing vessel is set up on the southeast side of the washing vessel, the water dish is on the east side of the washing vessel, and the bamboo ware is on the west side of the washing vessel. Set up ceremonial utensils and beans, and serve 4 strips of dried meat in the rice bowl and meat sauce in the beans. A ritual vessel with dried meat was placed on the figurine, and half of the sacrificial animal was placed on it, and this figurine was set up in the west wing.

The corpse came out of the chamber, and the guest of honor and deacon followed the corpse with a table and a mat. After the corpse walked out of the dormitory door, he stood on the right side of the door facing south. The reed mat is set on the northwest side of the earthenware table, with the front facing east, and the table is set on the south side of the seat. The guest walks out of the room and returns to their place outside the door. The mourner went out of his chamber and took his place outside the dormitory, east and south. The woman went out of the chamber and took her place on the north side of the mourner. Both the mourner and the woman wept facing west, and did not stop.

The corpse sat down on the mat. At this time, only the mourner did not cry, and everyone else wept. The mourner cleans the wine lord who has no feet, pours it and offers it to the corpse; The corpse bowed and took the winelord. The mourner bowed and wept back to his place, and hurriedly offered dried meat and meat sauce and placed it on the utensils, and the dried meat was placed on the south side of the figurine. The corpse held the wine lord in his left hand and the dried meat in his right hand, and after dipping it in the meat sauce, he made an offering.

And those who helped to eat took dried meat and gave it to the corpse for sacrifice and taste. The corpse is sacrificed, the meat is tasted, and the meat is returned to the person who helps to eat, and the person who helps to eat is put back on the coffin. The corpse is sacrificed with wine, drinking all the wine in the wine, and then placing the winelord on the south side. The bereaved lord and many of his brothers wept and patted their chests and wept. The housewife cleans the wine lord with a full stomach, pours it and presents it to the corpse twice. The ritual is the same as the mourner's offering to the corpse, and the same is true for weeping and clapping his chest.

Among the guests, the elder washed the wine vessels, poured the wine and offered the corpse three times, and the ritual was the same as that of the housewife, crying, patting the chest and crying. Help the eater to take out the dried meat from the bowl and put it in a basket. The corpse stood up and walked out, and the people who followed followed it with a fence and weeping. The wisher led in front, and those who wept followed, and went to the gate, weeping, patting their breasts, and weeping, as before.

After the corpse went out, the crying stopped. The guests walked out of the door, and the mourners saw off each other and bowed their heads to thank them. The housewife bowed the female guests inside the door. The man took off his waist outside the dormitory door and changed to a costume. After returning to the entrance, those who are below the rank of the brothers remove the sacrifices, and the mourners and housewives do not participate in the sacrifices. The woman took off her scarf and did not untie her girdle. If there is no corpse, the ritual of sacrificing the corpse is not practiced, but the mourner, the housewife, and the guests still have to go out of the room according to the rite. The setting of the table and the reed mat is the same as before; The man and the woman took turns weeping, patting their chests and weeping, three times in all. After crying, patting his chest and crying stopped, the sect edict was completed, and the guests said goodbye and withdrew.

On the third day of his death, he was dressed and put in the coffin to prepare for burial, and relatives and friends were buried three months later. In the month of the funeral, the sacrifice of weeping is performed. Early the next morning, the deceased is sacrificed next to the ancestors, and then the offering is held. The prayer for the completion of the sacrifice is: Mourning son, coming day, elevate you to the ancestral temple, so that you will be sacrificed to your emperor and ancestor; Enjoy the festival! If the deceased died unmarried or has already married a woman who has returned to her mother's house, the prayer is: Attached to your imperial ancestor.

If the deceased is a daughter-in-law, the prayer is: The grandwife is attached to the emperor's grandmother. Other words: 来日某, 隮 (jī) 袝, Shang 飧, etc., are all the same. The words for entertaining the corpse with wine and food are: Mourning son, the clean tribute has been prepared and offered, please enjoy the sacrifice.

On the second day of the crying, he was sacrificed to the ancestors in the order of Zhaomu. Wash your hair, bathe, comb your hair, cut your nails. Take the thick meat of the pig's neck and place it on the utensils. Others, like the special animal feeding rites, still use the corpse of the Yu sacrifice as the corpse. The words attached to the sacrifice are: filial piety, filial piety, morning and night, the heart is always afraid; The body does not dare to slack off and enjoy tranquility; Liquor sacrifices made with dried meat, sauerkraut, meat sauce, vegetable soup, and new water to suit your imperial ancestor Moufu, to ascend you to the ancestral temple, and to attach sacrifices to your grandson; Enjoy the festival!

On the first anniversary of the death of the priest, the small auspicious festival was held, and the greeting was the same as the sacrificial ceremony, except for the slight difference in the sentence "recommend this common thing". On the second anniversary of the death of the priest, the auspicious festival was held, and the greeting was the same as that of the sacrifice, except for the slight difference in the sentence "recommend this auspicious event". One month after the auspicious festival, the mourning clothes are removed. In the same month as the sutsu sacrifice, auspicious sacrifices may be performed after the sutsu offerings, but the mother who died first and the newly deceased father may not be sacrificed together.

(15) Special animal feeding ceremony

There are a total of 3 articles in the "Rites" that specifically talk about the sacrificers, that is, the last 3 articles of "Special Animal Feeding Ceremony", "Shaojiao Feeding Ceremony", and "You Si Withdraw". The "Special Animal Feeding Ceremony" describes the ritual of the princes' taxis to sacrifice their deceased father in the first year. The so-called special animal is 1 pig. All sacrifices, 1 is only for special, 2 is only for prison. The so-called feeding, simply put, is the use of food. In ancient times, people of different classes worshiped their ancestors and worshiped gods, but there were hierarchical differences between slaughter, thickness and prosperity, but this difference did not have absolute significance.

The "Special Animal Feeding Ceremony" specifically describes and explains in detail the whole process, specific steps and specific rituals of the members of the scholar class in their ancestral temples, and these steps and rituals are not applicable to other classes such as the emperor and the monarch. All the classics of "Rites" should have the rituals of the Son of Heaven and the princes, but unfortunately they have been lost now and cannot be known in detail. The special animal feeding ceremony is an auspicious gift among the five rites.
