The sacrifices of the great feast of the ancestors are so rich, and the tributes are so numerous, I am afraid that only the Son of Heaven can have such pomp!

Beef, mutton, pork, fish, and dried meat, encompassing the delicacies of the whole world; The offerings in the ceremonial beans, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the melons, fruits, plums and dates, are all the products of the four seasons.

The fastest updated novel ↖, the tribute of the princes of the Quartet, indicates their obedience to the Son of Heaven; The greeting gift from the princes to the Son of Heaven was a bundle of silk to show their respect for the virtues of the Son of Heaven.

In the arrangement of the princes' tributes, the treasure turtle is placed in the forefront, because the turtle can predict the future.

The second is gold, because it illuminates people.

The second is the daily necessities of dansha paint, silk, cotton wool, large bamboo and small bamboo, which means that all the products in the world are for the use of the Son of Heaven.

There is no fixed variety for the rest of the tribute, in principle, you can contribute whatever special products you have in this vassal state, which means that even the most distant things can be obtained by the Son of Heaven.

After the feast, when the guests walked out of the temple gate, they played the song "Summer" to show the grandeur of the ceremony.

The Son of Heaven personally worships the heavens in the southern suburbs, which is incomparable respect and benevolence.

At the funeral, the filial son cried the heavens and the earth, the pain was unbearable, everything came from the heart, which was extremely sincere.

Preparing clothing for the deceased, knowing that it would be useless, but still doing his best to prepare, is also a sign of great love.

It is extremely reasonable that the gifts used in the hiring should meet the specifications.

Therefore, if a gentleman wants to observe what benevolence and righteousness are, he only needs to observe the fundamental thing of etiquette.

The gentleman said: Sweetness is the root of the five flavors, and on this basis, you can reconcile the flavors.

White is the root of the five colors, and on this basis, five colors can be painted.

When you understand this truth, you will know that faithfulness is the foundation of propriety, and only the faithful can learn propriety.

If it is not a faithful person, the rite will not follow.

While this gift is important, it is even more important for those who are faithful.

Confucius said: Even if you memorize the 300 articles of the Book of Songs well, if you have not learned etiquette, you will not be able to bear even a simple gift.

If you don't learn further, you may not be able to bear the gift of a great feast.

If you understand the gift of the great feast, if you don't continue to study, you may not be able to bear the gift of the great journey.

If you understand the gift of the brigade, you may not be able to serve as the gift of worshipping the sky.

Don't talk about etiquette lightly.

When Zilu was the head of Ji Huanzi's house, in the past, when the Ji family held the ancestral worship, it always started before dawn, and the busy day was not over, and it was already dark, so he had to light a torch and continue to work.

Because it dragged on for too long, even the physically strong and respectful people were exhausted.

As a result, many of the deacons staggered to the right and the right to deal with the messengers, which was a great disrespect to their ancestors.

Later, one day, Zilu participated in the Ji family's ancestor worship, and when the indoor festival was held, the indoor and outdoor people received the sacrifices at the door; When the corpse is held in the hall, the people above and below the hall hand over the food utensils in front of the steps.

The sacrifice begins at dawn and is finished in the evening.

When Confucius heard about this, he said, "Who can say that Zilu is only brave and does not know how to be polite!"

(11) The suburbs only use one calf to sacrifice to the sky in the southern suburbs, but the sacrifice of Sheji uses three animals of cattle, sheep and pigs.

The Son of Heaven patrolled and came to the country of the princes, and the princes also used a calf to entertain the Son of Heaven for dinner, and the princes met the Son of Heaven, but the banquet given by the Son of Heaven was possessed by cattle, sheep and pigs.

Because the calf has not yet lost its virginity, it shows that honesty is precious.

Therefore, if you don't eat pregnant cows, you don't need pregnant cows to worship the heavens.

The road used by the Son of Heaven to worship the heavens only uses one circle of silk as a decoration for the horse, and the first road used to do ordinary chores is used three circles, and the lower road is used five times.

This shows that in some cases, less is more expensive.

Sacrifice to the heavens with the blood of the animal as an offering, sacrifice to the ancestors and ancestors with beef, sacrifice to the community should use half-cooked meat, and other small sacrifices should use cooked meat.

This shows that the more noble the gods, the more expensive the offerings that cannot come close to the taste of the living, and the second is the offerings that can have the strong smell of the three dharmas.

The princes visited each other, and the banquet was only served with tulip wine, but not seven bowls and eight plates, which was also due to the fragrant smell of color.

The Son of Heaven set up a banquet to entertain the princes of various countries, and the first dish served was also because of the heavy smell rather than the taste.

The princes held a feast to entertain the visiting guests, and if the king returned the king's wine, they only had to sit on the original triple table and did not need to change.

If the doctor visits, the monarch of the presiding state makes a toast to the attaché of the doctor, and the monarch of the presiding kingdom changes his triple mat to a single mat so that it is equal to the seat of the attaché of the doctor, which is called "humbling to humble"

In spring and summer, ancestors are worshipped, feasts are held, and there is musical accompaniment; In autumn and winter, ancestors are worshipped, food ceremonies are held, and there is no musical accompaniment.

This is because spring and summer are yang, and autumn and winter are yin.

Drinking alcohol is intended to maintain yang energy; Whenever you eat, it is intended to maintain yin qi.

Therefore, in spring and summer, ancestors are worshipped with feasts, and in autumn and winter, ancestors are worshiped with food rituals.

In the spring, the orphans of the martyrs were entertained with a feast, and the fathers and ancestors of the martyrs were entertained with a food ceremony in the autumn, and the reason was the same as that of the generals above.

In the spring and summer, music is used for the ceremonies of worshipping ancestors, and music is used for the ceremonies of worshipping ancestors in autumn and winter.

The feast is mainly based on drinking, which is intended to maintain yang energy, so there is music; The food ritual is mainly about eating, which is intended to maintain yin qi, so there is no music.

All music belongs to the yang category.

The number of tripods and beans is always singular, and the number of drums and beans is always even, because the tripods and beans are held animals, which are animals and belong to the yang category; Most of the plants in the bamboo and beans are plants, and the plants belong to the shade category.
