Zeng Zi asked: Do you have to have a corpse during the sacrifice? Is it okay to be like the weary sacrifice? Confucius replied: To sacrifice the adult dead, there must be a corpse.

The top novel, x. corpses must be served by the grandchildren of Tongzhao or Tongmu.

If the grandson is young, he can be held when he is a corpse.

If you don't have a grandchild, you can choose one of the grandchildren with the same surname.

Sacrifices to the underage dead must be made with disgusting sacrifices, because they are not yet adults.

To sacrifice an adult dead without the participation of a corpse is to treat them as if they were minors.

Confucius also said: There are two kinds of aversion to sacrifices, one is yin aversion and the other is yang aversion.

Zeng Zi asked: The ritual of sacrificing the underage dead is simple, what is yin and yang?

Confucius replied: The eldest son of the great sect died before he reached adulthood, and the other concubines could not be his descendants.

When an auspicious sacrifice is held in his honor, an ox is used as a sacrifice.

But because he died of a minor, he had no lungs, no scum, no wine, and finally did not report the completion of the corpse ceremony.

This is called yin disgust.

All other people who died before they were minors, as well as those who died without descendants, were sacrificed to the house of the eldest son of the Great Sect, and the offerings were placed in the northwest corner of the room, and the sake bottle was set up in the east room.

This is called yang disgust.

Zeng Zi asked: I have participated in the funeral ceremony, the locomotive has been on the road, is this a sudden solar eclipse, is there any change in the number of etiquette?

Or nothing has changed?

Confucius replied: Once upon a time, I followed Lao Dan to help people in the countryside to send funerals, and the locomotive was already on the road, and suddenly there was a solar eclipse.

The old man shouted: Qiu!

Stop the coffin, park it on the right side of the road, don't cry, and wait quietly for the change.

After the eclipse, the locomotive moved on.

Lao Dan said: This should be done according to etiquette.

When I returned from the burial, I asked Lao Dan that the locomotive could only move forward, not backward.

No one knows how long the solar eclipse will last.

Instead of waiting on the side of the road, you might as well move on.

Lao Dan said: The princes go to see the Son of Heaven, go at sunrise every day, find a place to rest before the sun sets in the evening, and pay tribute to the accompanying temple owner.

The doctor's envoy also walks at sunrise every day, and finds a place to rest before the sun sets.

The coffin should not be left before dawn, nor should it be left until dark.

The only people who rushed through the stars and the moon were probably sinners and those who ran for the mourning of their parents.

In the solar eclipse just now, the sky was dark, how do we know when the stars will appear in the sky, wouldn't that be like walking in the stars?

Besides, a gentleman who acts according to propriety must not put other people's relatives in danger of calamity.

I listened to what Lao Dan said.

Zeng Zi asked: If you go to other countries on the orders of the king, you can't die in the mansion of the main country, and the book of rites says, "If you die in a public guest house, you can summon spirits, but if you die in a private guest house, you will not summon spirits."

。

However, in the country where the deceased came, the hospitality department of the country always had to arrange a place for the envoy to stay, which could be a public guest house, so the so-called "death in a private guest house does not summon spirits"

How to explain it?

Confucius replied: That's a good question!

The house where the lady lives is called a private guest house.

The guesthouses built by the princes and the residences designated by the monarchs were called public guest houses.

The so-called "dying in a public guest house can summon spirits"

That's what it is.

Zeng Zi asked: When a child between the ages of eight and eleven dies, he digs a pit in the garden, builds the pit with bricks around the pit, and then carries the body to burial by machine, because of the proximity of the road.

If the cemetery is far away, what should the burial method be?

Confucius replied: I have heard the old man say that once upon a time, Shi Yi had a son who died, and he was also eight to eleven years old, and the cemetery was far away.

Zhao Gong said to Shi Yi, why don't you put the body in the coffin at home first?

Shi Yi said, this is a violation of etiquette, how dare I?

Zhao Gong told this matter in front of Zhou Gong, and Zhou Gong said, what is wrong with this?

So Shi Yi did as Zhao Gong said.

The burial of people who died between the ages of eight and eleven in the coffin at home began with Shi Yi.

Zeng Zi asked: What should I do if Doctor Qing will be used as a corpse in the sacrifice of the king, and has accepted the invitation and fasted, and suddenly a relative in the family dies?

Confucius replied: It is only proper to come out of the house and live in the king's mansion to wait for the sacrifice.

Confucius also said: When the corpse goes out, it is either worn a ben or a crown, depending on the identity of the ancestor represented by the corpse; When the doctor encounters a corpse on the road, he must get out of the car to salute, and the person who is the corpse must also lean on the beam in front of the car to salute.

When the corpse travels, there must be someone who opens the way in front.

Zixia asked: After the funeral of his parents, after crying, he can't refuse the call for war, is this how it should be?

Or was it a stopgap measure in the first place?

Confucius replied: In the Xia Dynasty, the funeral of the deceased was stopped for burial after the deceased was put into the coffin, and in the Yin Dynasty, it was no longer reported after the burial, and in the Zhou Dynasty, it was no longer reported after the death wept, the purpose was to let the filial son concentrate on filial piety for three years.

The ancient "Records" said: As a king, you must not force your courtiers to put aside the grief of bereavement; And the filial son himself cannot forget the grief of bereavement.

That's what I'm talking about.

Zixia asked again: In this way, it is unreasonable that the conscription for war cannot be refused, right?

Confucius replied: I have heard Lao Dan say that in the past, Lu Gongbo raised troops to conquer after the soldiers cried, and that was a last resort under special circumstances.

I don't know why people today engage in wars for personal gain during the mourning of their parents.
