Section 483 The sacrifice of Daxiang
When a father or mother dies and is in the funeral hall, and when you hear the news of the death of a distant relative, you should go to another room to cry for him. c£, the next morning, dressed in heavy clothes, first go to the funeral palace to mourn his parents, come out after crying, and then change into the clothes of the new deceased who have not yet been dressed, and when he arrives at the position to cry, the position he went to is the position where he cried in another room when he heard the news of death the day before.
Doctors and scholars are going to participate in the sacrifice of the king, and the sacrifice has been carried out to the stage of zhuo and the parents have died, in this case, it is still necessary to continue to participate in the sacrifice, but do not live with everyone, because good luck and evil cannot be together. When the sacrifice is over, he takes off his sacrificial clothes and walks out of the public gate, and then goes home crying. Other etiquette is the same as for funerals. If the parents have died before the sight stage has been reached, one should send someone to report to the king, and wait until the person sent to report comes back before crying. Doctors and scholars are to participate in the sacrifice of the king, and if an uncle, uncle, brother, aunt, sister, or other person dies at this time, then they must participate in the sacrifice as long as they are called to fast. When the sacrifice is over, go out of the public gate, and then take off the sacrificial clothes and go home. Other rituals are the same as funerals.
Zeng Zi asked: Doctor Qing will be a corpse in the sacrifice of the king, and he has accepted the invitation and fasted, what should I do if a relative in the family suddenly dies? Confucius replied: It is reasonable to come out of your own house and live in the king's mansion to wait for the sacrifice. Confucius also asked: When the corpse goes out, it either wears a biàn or a crown, depending on the identity of the ancestor that the corpse represents. When the doctor encounters a corpse on the road, he must get out of the car to pay tribute, and the person who is the corpse must also lean on the crossbar in front of the car to salute. When the corpse travels, there must be someone who opens the way in front.
When the parents pass away, and when the sacrifice of Xiao Xiang or Da Xiang is about to be held, unfortunately another brother dies, in this case, the new deceased should be buried first, and then the sacrifice of Xiao Xiang or Da Xiang should be held. If the new deceased dies in the funeral palace of his parents, even if the new deceased is a concubine, the deceased must be buried before holding a small or auspicious sacrifice. When holding the sacrifices of small auspicious and large auspicious, the master's ascension and lower hall all adopt the pace of scattering, and the clerks also adopt the pace of scattering. The above practice also applies when the sacrifice and lining sacrifice are to be held for the parents.
From the princes to the scholars, when the sacrifice of Xiaoxiang is held, after the main sacrifice, the host only dips his lips in the wine that the guest chief returns; And all the guests and brothers can take a small sip of the wine offered by the host. When the auspicious sacrifice is held, the host can take a small sip of the wine that the guest chief toasts in return, and the guests and brothers can also toast to the wine offered by the host. During the sacrifice of Xiaoxiang and Daxiang, when the master of ceremonies informs the guests to offer jerky and wine, the guests only offer gifts and do not eat them.
Zigong asked how to live in the funeral of his parents, and Confucius replied: Respect is the most important, grief is secondary, and it is the most difficult to describe haggard or even sick. The face should be commensurate with the sorrow, and the sad face should be commensurate with the filial piety. Zigong asked how to live in his brother's funeral, and Confucius replied: "The question you raised is recorded in the books." As a gentleman, you can neither force others to let go of the grief of bereavement, nor can you forget the grief of your own bereavement. Confucius said: Shaolian and Dalian know the etiquette of mourning for their parents. For the first three days after the death of his parents, he cried blindly and did not eat or drink; For three months, there was no slackening in weeping and mourning; After the first anniversary, I was still sad and wept from time to time; In the third year, his face was still full of sadness. They are still from Dongyi!
During the mourning for parents, when talking to others, they only talk about their own funeral and do not care about other matters, and only answer questions without taking the initiative to ask questions. He lives in the house and does not sit with others. After the anniversary, he moved from the house to the room, and if it wasn't for the sake of greeting his mother on time, he wouldn't enter the middle door. Those who wear mourning clothes live in rooms, not in houses. Lu is a place of mourning, and if you don't have that mourning, you won't live.
For funerals, the funerals of wives should be compared with those of uncles and parents, the funerals of aunts and sisters should be compared with those of brothers, and the funerals of elders, middle-aged and lower mourners should be compared with those of adults. Mourning for parents, the mourning period has expired, although the filial piety clothes on the outside have been taken off, but the sorrow in the heart is still there. For the brother's funeral, the outer filial piety clothes are taken off, and the inner sorrow disappears at the same time, and the mourning for the king's mother and wife is mourned, and the number of rituals is compared with that of the brothers. During the mourning period, it is forbidden to eat or drink anything that affects the facial grief.
After the funeral, the filial son walked on the road, and when he met someone whose face was somewhat similar to his parents, his eyes were shocked, and he was shocked when he heard the name with the same name as his parents; When you go to someone else's house to pay your filial piety or visit the sick, there must be something unusual about your face and worried expression. If you can do this, you can really remember the funeral for your parents. If you will hold a funeral for your parents, then it will be much easier to hold a funeral for other people like walking on a straight road.
The sacrifice of Daxiang is the sacrifice of filial piety. On the eve of the Daxiang sacrifice, the filial son wears court clothes and announces the date of the Daxiang sacrifice. When it comes to the auspicious festival, they wear the court clothes worn on the eve. Zi Lobby: Since the auspicious sacrifice is held, then those who are not yet wearing Su Minen linen clothes must also wear Su Min linen clothes, and wait until the auspicious sacrifice is over, and then change into the filial piety clothes that should be worn. When the filial son is pausing his chest and crying, he should also stop and go to thank the doctor, and then return to his original position, and then start from the beginning to complete the pause and pat his chest and cry, and then cover his shirt.
If the priest comes to mourn at this time, the filial son can finish the small or big gathering, complete the ritual of patting his chest and crying, cover his shirt, and then go to thank him. After thanking each other, there is no need to clap your chest and cry from the beginning. After the death of the doctor, Yu sacrifice was made with sheep and pigs; The sacrifices of the pawns and the temples were made of oxen, sheep, and pigs. After the death of the doctor, a pig was used; The sacrifices of the pawn cry and the lining of the temple are made of sheep and pigs. The congratulatory titles for divination and funeral days and sacrifices are: the son calls himself Mourning Son, the grandson calls Mourning Sun, the husband calls himself Naifu, and the brothers call themselves Son. For the brother's divination of the funeral day and burial place, the congratulatory message should be the brother's burial of his uncle.
