Section 420 Reciprocal visits between princes

The young master stomped his feet with the prince in his arms, and the women and others also stomped their feet, and they also stomped 3 times for 1 section, and trampled enough for 3 sections.

Then let the prince put on filial piety clothes, hold a mourning stick, and hold a memorial service.

After the ceremony, he walked out of the funeral palace, and Dazai ordered Taizhu Taishi to tell the name of the prince to the five rituals and the gods of the mountains and rivers.

Zeng Zi asked: If the coffin of the king has been buried and the son is born, how should the salute be performed?

Confucius replied: Dazai Taizong followed Taizhu to the funeral palace to report to the god (a small wooden plaque used to worship ancestors or the deceased).

Three months later, he visited the god again, and named the son, and then told the name of the son to the temple and the gods of the mountains and rivers.

Confucius said: When the princes go to see the Son of Heaven, they must set up sacrifices in the ancestral temple and the father's temple.

Then put on a robe and wear a crown to listen to the government, and ordered the official historian to sacrifice to the gods of the mountains and rivers in the temple of Shejizong.

Then he solemnly explained to the five doctors who stayed behind before leaving, and before leaving, he had to hold a sacrifice of the ancestral road and pray for a safe journey.

The celebratory and historian must complete the sacrifice within five days, otherwise it will be a violation of the rites.

Whenever a sacrifice is held, a bundle of silk is used as an offering, and the same is true for the sacrifice on return.

Mutual visits between princes must also be sacrificed to the temple of the father.

Then put on court clothes and listened to the court, and ordered the officials and historians to pay tribute to the gods of the five temples and the mountains and rivers.

It is also necessary to solemnly explain to the five doctors who stayed behind before leaving, and before leaving, the ancestral sacrifice is held to pray for a safe journey.

When returning, the princes must personally pay homage to the ancestral temple.

Then he ordered the celebratory historian to perform the same sacrifice as he said goodbye to the gods who had been sacrificed before departure, and then returned to the court to manage state affairs.

Zeng Zi asked: What should be done if two relatives die in the same month?

Who's coming first and who's coming after?

Confucius replied: To bury, we must first bury the light one, and then bury the heavy one; To pay tribute, we must first pay tribute to those who are gracious, and then to those who are light.

This is the right ceremony.

During the period from the funeral to the burial, because I was busy burying the people who were gracious, I did not set up a day and night for the people who were gracious.

At the time of the funeral, the coffin passed by the house outside the gate, and the filial son did not pause and cried here to express his grief, because the person who was grateful still parked the coffin in the funeral palace.

When the person who buried the person returned, a memorial service was set up for the person who was honored, and then the guests were told the date of the funeral, and then the funeral ceremony was held for the person who was honored.

As for the Yu sacrifice after the funeral, first pay tribute to those who are gracious, and then pay tribute to those who are light, which is the right ceremony.

Confucius said: 大 (7) dǐng (7) diǎn (7) small (7) said, .▼.o←s_ (); Even if Zong's eldest son is 70 years old, he can't live without a housewife.

It's not the eldest son of the big clan, even if you don't have a housewife.

Zeng Zi asked: The crown ceremony is about to be held for his son, and the guests and praisers who were invited to participate in the crown ceremony have already arrived, and have been greeted into the temple with a salute, and at this time, the master suddenly got the news of the death of Qi Dagong's relatives, what should I do?

Confucius replied: This is a kind of kinship.

If the deceased is a relative with the same surname, the crown salute is stopped; If the deceased is a relative with a different surname, the crown ceremony can continue, but the program of the guest toasting the crown to the crown party should be simplified.

After the ceremony, he removed the various furnishings of the crown ceremony, cleaned the venue again, and then wept according to his relationship with the deceased.

If the guests and admirers who have been invited to the crown have not arrived, the crown will stop.

If the crown ceremony is about to be held for the son, but the selected date has not yet arrived, and the owner suddenly encounters the funeral of the relatives of Qi Yuan's great and small achievements, then let the son wear the corresponding mourning clothes according to the relationship between relatives and relatives, and then add the mourning crown.

Zeng Zi asked: Does the person who added the mourning crown have to make up the crown after the funeral?

Confucius replied: The Son of Heaven gave the uncrowned princes and doctors the crown and discarded clothes in the Taimiao, and after they returned, they set up a memorial service to observe their ancestors, and then they put on the crowned clothes they had been given.

In this case, it is only a liquor salute to the crowner, not a liquor salute.

This shows that there is no need to make up the crown ceremony and add the auspicious crown instead.

If the crown ceremony is held after the death of the father, then, after the three crowning ceremonies, the temple is cleaned and the sacrifice is performed to the father's god.

After the ceremony, he went to see his uncle and uncle, and then held a banquet to thank the guests who participated in the crown ceremony.

Zeng Zi asked: Under what circumstances does the sacrifice not be paid?

Confucius replied: I have heard that during the Xiaoxiang Festival, the host should wear a crown and a training uniform, but do not hold a travel reward, and the host will return the wine of the guests, and the guests will put it down without drinking, and do not raise a glass to persuade them to drink, which is in line with etiquette.

In the past, Lu Zhaogong held a travel reward during the Xiaoxiang Festival, which was impatient and did not meet the requirements of etiquette.

Lu Xiaogong did not hold a travel remuneration at the time of the Daxiang Festival, which was a restraint and did not meet the requirements of etiquette.

Zeng Zi asked: I am wearing a great mourning dress, can I participate in the funeral of other families?

Confucius replied: Not only great gong clothes are allowed, but mourning clothes from the decrepit to the decay can be, which is stipulated by the rites.

Zeng Zi asked: In doing so, wouldn't it be diǎn to despise his own mourning clothes and take the affairs of other families seriously?

Confucius replied: This is not the case.

For example, when the princes of the Son of Heaven died, the courtiers who served the decay were responsible for the funeral; The doctor died, and the retainers who served Qi Qi died for him to pay tribute to him in the funeral.

When the soldier died, his friends who served the great service did the funeral for him.

If there is not enough manpower during the New Moon Festival, you can also ask the people who serve Xiaogong Shaoma to help; If you don't have enough people, you can also have everyone running back and forth and wear multiple hats.

Isn't this a matter of mourning clothes from the decay to the mourning that can participate in the mourning in the mourning!

Zeng Zi asked: Wearing Xiaogong mourning clothes, can I participate in the sacrifice after the funeral?

Confucius replied: It is not necessary that only small gongs can participate, but those who wear mourning clothes below the decay can participate, which is stipulated by the rites.

Zeng Zi asked: In this case, isn't there a sacrifice that diǎn despises mourning clothes and then begins?
