Section 395 Planning for the military operations of the king
Si Kou Huizi died, and Ziyou went to mourn as a friend, but the hanging clothes he wore were very special. Wenzi thanked him and said: My brother thanked you for associating with him when he was alive, and when he died, he thanked you for serving him this kind of hanging clothes, I really dare not be. Sub-lobbying: This is in line with propriety. Wenzi didn't realize Ziyou's intentions, so he fell back to his original position and continued to cry. Ziyou saw that Wenzi was still unconscious, so he walked quickly to the position where the retainers were crying.
Wenzi saw that Ziyou was in the wrong position, and came to thank him again and said: My brother thanked you for interacting with him before his death, and thanks to you for serving him in hanging clothes, and also participated in the funeral, I really dare not be. Sub lobbying: Don't be polite. Only then did Wenzi understand Ziyou's intentions, so he stepped back, helped out Keiko's sister-in-law Hu Nan to stand, put the master in the right position, and said: The younger brother was grateful to you for associating with him during his lifetime, and after his death, he was grateful to you for serving him, and he also worked hard to attend the funeral, does the tiger dare not return to the master's right position to thank you? Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Ziyou hurriedly moved from the subordinate position to the guest position.
The general Wenzi died, and his son had been mourning for three years, and the distant Yue people came to mourn. The master, dressed in deep clothes, waited in the ancestral temple, quietly shedding tears and snot to remove the mourning clothes. When Ziyou saw it, he praised it greatly, and said: The son of General Wenzi is really not simple, and he has done such a decent job with etiquette that is not in the etiquette.
When he was young, he was to be called by his name, and when he was twenty years old, he was to be called by his name. After the age of fifty, he is only called ranked, or uncle or uncle, or Ji. The nickname he was called after his death. This was the system of the Zhou Dynasty. The sutra has a practical content, that is, it expresses the sorrow of the heart. Dig a pit in the center of the main bed to bathe the corpse, dismantle the stove, and use the bricks to restrain the feet of the deceased; When it was time to go out of the funeral, destroy the temple wall and cross the position of the gods, and pull the locomotive out of the gate directly without passing through the middle gate. This was the system of the Yin Dynasty. Those who studied with Confucius often imitated the system of the Yin Dynasty.
Ziliu's mother died, and his younger brother Zishuo asked for funeral utensils. Ziliu said: Where does the money come from? Zishuo said: Let's sell my brother's mother. Ziliu said: How can we sell other people's mothers to bury our own mothers? This is absolutely unacceptable. After the funeral, Zishuo wanted to use the money from the remaining relatives and friends to help with the funeral to buy sacrificial vessels, Ziliu said: This is also unacceptable. I've heard that a gentleman doesn't make a fortune by doing funerals. Let us divide the surplus money among our brothers.
The gentleman said: If you plan for the king's military action and unfortunately fail, you should take the blame and judge yourself; If you plan how to defend the national capital for the king, and unfortunately the national capital is in danger, you should take the blame and accept the banishment and make way for the virtuous. Uncle Wenzi ascended to Bianqiu County, and Peng Boyu also followed; Wenzi said: The landscape of the flawed hill is too likable! If I die, I want to be buried here; Peng Boyu said: Since you like it, I naturally like it too, I am willing to die first and be buried here first.
There is a man whose mother died in this place, and his cry is like that of a young child crying for his mother, crying with his feelings, without rhythm. Confucius said: This kind of crying method has nothing to say in terms of expressing sorrow, and the problem is that ordinary people can't learn it. When formulating the rites, it is necessary to consider how they can be passed on to future generations and how they can be done by everyone. Therefore, there are certain rules for crying and pausing at funerals.
Uncle Wu's mother died, and after the funeral, the people who carried the body carried the body out of the dormitory, and Uncle Wu followed him out, and it was only then that he exposed his left arm, removed the foreign Burma from the original bun, and tied his hair back with hemp. Sub Lobbying: Is this also etiquette?
Support the sick king, the servant of the servant to the right, and the officer who shoots the man to the left. After the death of the monarch, the work of moving and restoring the corpse was also handled by these two officials. The uncle died, the aunt died, and the nephew who had received their favor should wear what mourning clothes should be, the gentleman never said; Some people said: Since you eat the same meal on the stove, you can take Shao Ma.
When doing funerals, there must be an urgent appearance; To do auspicious things, we must have a calm attitude. However, although the funeral should be done urgently, it should not be spaced apart. Although auspicious things have time to catch their breath, they should not be slack. So, if you rush it, it will look rude; If the pace is too slow, it's like an ignorant villain. A gentleman always does things quickly and slowly.
Funeral coffins, clothes and the like, the gentleman thinks that it is a shame to prepare all the things in advance. Those that can be made in a day or two, the gentleman will not do it in advance.
It is stipulated in the mourning dress that for the nephew is like for the son, and the mourning dress is worn without a rod, which is to show closeness and improve the level of the mourning dress; The sister-in-law and the uncle do not wear filial piety clothes to each other, which is to show that men and women are suspicious and deliberately alienate the relationship; After the aunts and sisters got married, they no longer surrendered to the service because their love had been transferred to their husbands, and at the same time, their husbands had also borne the heavy service of the period.
Confucius ate next to the dead relatives and never had a full meal.
Zeng Zi and the guests were standing by the door, and a disciple was about to go out quickly. Zengzi asked: Where are you going? The disciple said, "My father is dead, and I want to go to the alley to cry." Zeng Zi said: Go back, just cry in the room where you live. Then Zengzi faced north and bowed to his disciples from the guest's position.
