Section 398 Under the Tan Bow

When the Son of Heaven was crying about the death of the princes, he wore a knight's abandonment on his head and a Nao-colored dress on his body. Some people say: The Son of Heaven does not have to cry himself, but he can order officials to cry on his behalf. On the day of crying, the Son of Heaven did not play music when he ate.

There is such a rule in the funeral of the Son of Heaven: a dragon is drawn on the wheel of the locomotive, and then wood is piled up around the locomotive, and the top is not sealed for the time being, and the shape is similar to that of the locomotive. Then coat the blocks with mud so that there are no gaps between the woods. Then the coffin is covered with a coffin cover embroidered with a black and white axe-shaped pattern from the top of the brace. Then continue to build blocks for the roof, and finally apply the whole body. This is the number of rites for the funeral of the Son of Heaven.

Only in the funeral of the Son of Heaven is to distinguish between the same surname, different surname, and concubine surname and weep in an arrangement. Lu Aigong mourned Confucius and said: God will not leave me such an old and virtuous person, and now there is no one to help me govern the country; Woohoo, nuns! If the country loses a large county, the princess, the secretary, the doctor, and the scholar must wear a mourning crown and wear plain clothes, cry in the temple for three days, and ask the ancestors and ancestors for their guilt. During these three days, the king was not allowed to eat meat. Another theory is that the king should lead his ministers to weep in the society.

Confucius hated those who did not cry according to etiquette. If a disciple has not yet become a disciple, he will not dare to give away the things at home. If it must be given away, it should be said that it is following the orders of the father and brother. The funeral of the monarch can not begin until all the soldiers have arrived. After the Great Auspicious Festival, the filial son began to change into a braided crown; Tan festivals are held in one month, and music can be played the following month. The monarch can give the emperor to the emperor under special circumstances to use it as the dust of the coffin.

If the prince's concubine dies between the ages of 16 and 19, he can use three chariots for the funeral. If the concubine of the prince dies between the ages of 16 and 19, he can only use one dispatcher, and if the doctor's concubine dies at this age, he can use one dispatcher. When a prince dies, all ministers, doctors, and scholars directly appointed by the king should be beheaded and held with a mourning rod.

For the funeral of the doctor, when the doctor is about to be buried, the monarch must first go to the funeral palace to mourn. When the locomotive comes out, you must order the entourage to pull the cart, pull it forward 3 steps and stop. Pull and stop like this three times before the monarch leaves. When the filial son was in the temple, the monarch was also this kind of etiquette. When the locomotive passes by the temporary residence of the filial son's funeral, the monarch also has this kind of etiquette. People over the age of 50 who do not own a car do not have to travel all the way across the border to mourn.

Ji Wuzi was sick, and Jiaogu went to visit his house without taking off his filial piety clothes, and explained to him: This practice of mine is almost extinct now, but according to the formal etiquette, the priest only takes off his filial piety clothes when he enters the public gate. Ji Wuzi pretended to agree and said: Isn't it good that you do this! A gentleman is to carry forward the good rules that have been thrown away by most people. When Ji Wuzi died, Zeng Dian leaned on his door and sang, saying that he was also acting in accordance with proper etiquette.

The doctor came to mourn the priest, and if the master was busy with the funeral, he would send someone to explain to the doctor that he could not come out to greet him at the moment, and ask him to wait for a while. On the day of mourning, no music is played all day. The woman had nothing to do, so she didn't have to cross the border to mourn. On the day of mourning, it is forbidden to drink alcohol or eat meat. When going to mourn at the funeral, be sure to help pull the locomotive; If you follow the locomotive to the tomb, you have to help you bury it. If the king of the landlord country comes to hang, although there are no relatives around as the mourner, someone must come out to thank the mourner on behalf of the mourner, even if it is a friend of the deceased, a fellow villager, or the landlord of the lodge. The king's introduction said: The king of our country wants to do something to help with the funeral. The bereaved representative replied, "Humiliation is coming." The monarch encountered a locomotive on the road and wanted to send someone over to offer condolences. For the doctor's funeral, the concubine cannot be the mourner and accept condolences.

When his wife's brother, who was also the heir of his father-in-law, died, he wept at his bed, and let his son, as the mourner, bare-bones his left arm, remove his crown and wear it, and weep and jump. He went in and stood on the right side of the door, and sent for someone to stand outside the door, and to explain to those who heard the cry and came to hang him. Only those who are particularly good enter the court to cry. If the father is alive, he will not dare to cry in the main bed, but will cry in the wife's bedchamber. If the deceased is not the father-in-law's heir, cry for him in another room. There is a funeral at home, and the coffin is waiting to be buried, and if you hear the funeral of a distant brother in a foreign country at this time, you have to cry for him in the side room; The house that has no side room cries for him on the right side of the door; If he dies in China, he should rush to his mourning hall to weep.

When Zizhang died, Zeng Zi happened to be in the midst of mourning for his mother, so he wore Qi Yuan to cry Zizhang. Some people criticized and said: You are wearing a filial piety suit, and you shouldn't hang your friends. Zeng Zi defended: Am I going to mourn? I'm going to cry friends.

When you die, the mourning prince personally goes to mourn, and Ziyou, as the master of ceremonies in the funeral, is up and down on the left. Wang Ji died, Qi reported his funeral to Lu State, and Lu Zhuang Gong served him a great service. Some people say: Wang Ji was married from the country of Lu, so he served his sister's great service. Some people said: Wang Ji is Zhuang Gong's maternal grandmother, so she served her with great service.

After the death of Jin Xiangong, Qin Mugong sent people to comfort his son Chong'er, who had fled in Di, and said: The monarch of our country heard that it is always at this moment to lose the throne, and it is always at this moment to get the throne. Although you are now in the midst of respectful mourning, you can't mourn for too long, and you can't miss the opportunity, please think about it! Chong'er told his uncle about the situation. The uncle said, "It's better for you to politely decline." There is nothing precious for those who have fled abroad, and if anything, it is the spirit of loving one's father. What does it mean when my father dies? It was a catastrophe like the heavens fell. On the contrary, they take this opportunity to seek personal gain, how can they explain it clearly to the people of the world? It's better for you to politely decline. So the prince said to the envoy: "Thanks to the king of your country, I am in exile, and my father is dead, so I cannot run back to the country in the starry night and weep in front of the spiritual throne, so as to restrain the sorrow in my heart, so that the king of your country is worried about me.

But what does it mean when my father dies? It was a time when the sky was falling. At this moment, how dare you have a selfish heart and thus humiliate the friendship of your monarch? After speaking, he only kowtowed to express the sadness of the loss of his father, but did not dare to express his gratitude to the envoy like the mourner. Then he stood up crying, and when he stood up, he did not speak anything in private with the messenger. The messenger Zixian replied to Mu Gong. Mu Gong said: The son is so benevolent! He only kowtowed and did not bow down, which shows that he regarded himself as the heir, so he did not complete the whole set of salutes. Crying and standing up, it was like a filial son who wanted to climb the wheel and not let the locomotive start, which shows that he loves his father very much. After standing up, he no longer spoke to the messenger in private, which shows that he had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity.

During the funeral, the wooden curtain was lifted and weeping, which was not an ancient system, but began with Jing Jiang crying for her husband Mu Bo.

During the mourning of his parents, the filial son's mood was extremely sad. The use of all kinds of etiquette to control his sorrow is to follow his sad feelings, so that he gradually adapts to this upheaval. This is all because the gentleman thinks of the parents who gave birth to him and raised him: how not to be sad when he thinks of the grace of childbirth! Thinking that he is the body of his parents, dare not mourn and change! The matter of conjuring spirits is a way to fully express the filial son's love for his parents, just like the prayers and sacrifices they made when they were critically ill, doing everything possible to bring them back to life. Hoping for your parents to come back from a dark place is a way to pray to the spirits. When the spirit is called, it means to pray to the darkness.

Thanking the hanger and prostrating are expressions of great pain in sorrow; Of the two, the prostrated woman in particular suffered even more. When the rice is contained, raw rice and shells are used, which is unbearable to let the deceased empty mouth; Cooked food that does not need to be eaten by living people is made from naturally occurring rice shells that do not rot. An inscription is a kind of thing that uses a banner with a name written on it to indicate who it is. Because the appearance of the deceased can no longer be seen, the Ming clan is used as a symbol. Because I loved him, I wrote his name on the inscription; Because of his respect, he strictly adheres to the specifications of the production of Ming. heavy, and the role of the later god card is the same. When the Yin people became the gods, they connected the weight with the Lord; And when the Zhou people became gods, they buried them again.
