I heard Lao Dan say: When the Son of Heaven dies and the monarch dies, it is Taizhu who takes all the gods of the temples and hides them in the temple of Taizu, which is the etiquette.

△ Top Novel, x. Wait until the burial and the sacrifice of the pawn is held, and then send the master of the group of temples back to their respective temples.

When the king fled and fled, Dazai brought the gods of the temples with him, which is also the way it should be.

The princes sacrificed to the gods of the temples in the Taizu Temple, and asked Taizhu to usher in the gods of the other four temples.

Anyone who welcomes and sends the god out of the temple and into the temple must be cleared and martial law.

That's what Lao Dan said.

Zeng Zi asked again: In ancient times, if there was no master who moved the temple to accompany him, what god would be used?

Confucius replied: By the command of the Lord.

Zeng Zi didn't understand, so he asked again: What is the command of the Divine Lord?

Confucius replied: Before the princes of the Son of Heaven travel, they must use coins and silk Pigui as offerings to the ancestral temple and the temple to hold a sacrifice, and after the sacrifice is completed, they respectfully take these out and load them on the cart with them.

Every time you go to a resting place, you pay homage to these coins first, and then dare to rest.

After returning, the sacrifice of the Ancestral Temple will be held.

After the sacrifice, these are taken as "commandments"

Collect the coins, hide them between the two steps below the hall, and then walk out.

To do so is to show respect for God's commands.

Ziyou asked: Hanging filial piety for a loving mother, the specifications are the same as hanging filial piety for a biological mother, is the etiquette stipulated in this way?

Confucius replied: This is not in accordance with the rules of propriety.

In ancient times, the education of boys had a master outside and a loving mother at home, and they were ordered by the king to educate their children, and there was no reason to be filial piety for them.

In the past, Lu Zhaogong lost his mother when he was young, and a loving mother treated him very well, and when this loving mother died, Zhaogong couldn't bear it and wanted to be filial piety for her.

The person concerned reported to Zhao Gong: According to the etiquette of ancient times, there is no need to be filial to a loving mother, and now you want to be filial to it, which is against the ancient etiquette and disturbs the law of the country.

If you insist on doing this, then we will record this matter in the history books and pass it on to future generations, so the loss of dependence will be great, and I am afraid it is better not to do so.

Zhao Gong defended: In ancient times, the Son of Heaven also usually wore a practice crown to express filial piety to his biological mother.

Zhao Gong couldn't bear not to be filial piety, so he wore a crown to hang filial piety for his mother.

Hanging filial piety for a loving mother started with Lu Zhaogong.

Zeng Zi asked: Many princes have entered the door of the Taimiao Temple to see the Son of Heaven together, but they have not been able to carry out the court ceremony to the end, and have to abolish it halfway, how many situations are there?

Confucius replied: Four kinds.

Zeng Tzu said: What are the four types?

Confucius replied: In these four cases, the temple will stop praying because of a fire, a solar eclipse, the death of the queen, and a loss of appearance due to heavy rain wetting the clothes.

If there is a solar eclipse in the presence of all the princes, then follow the Son of Heaven to save the sun, and when the prince is saved, the princes of each side will wear the clothes of which color and carry the weapons of the other; If there is a fire in the Taimiao, you must also follow the Son of Heaven to put out the fire, but there are no requirements for the clothing and weapons of the princes.

Zeng Zi asked again: How many situations are there when the princes visit each other, and the host has given the guests courtesy to enter the door, but has not been able to follow the procedure to the end, and has to give up halfway?

Confucius replied, "There are six kinds."

Zeng Tzu said: What are the six kinds?

Confucius replied: The Son of Heaven died, the temple caught fire, the solar eclipse, the queen died, the monarch's wife died, Dayu wet his clothes and caused untidy appearance, and when he encountered these six situations, he had to stop the ceremony.

Zeng Zi asked again: The sacrifices of the Temple of the Son of Heaven, the sacrifices of heaven and earth, and the sacrifices of the seven rituals have all been prepared, what should I do if the Son of Heaven suddenly dies, or the queen dies?

Confucius replied: The sacrifice is stopped.

Zeng Zi asked again: If there is a solar eclipse during the sacrifice, or if there is a fire in the temple, should the sacrifice continue?

Confucius replied: In this case, it is necessary to simplify the procedure and proceed quickly.

If the sacrifice has been brought but not killed, the sacrifice should be stopped.

Before the death of the Son of Heaven and the coffin entered the funeral palace, the sacrifice of the five rituals was not held, and the sacrifice was held until the coffin had moved into the funeral palace.

But the procedure of sacrifice is to be simplified.

After the corpse was seated, he ate three mouthfuls of food, and after that, he was no longer persuaded to eat; The master drank wine and asked the corpse to rinse his mouth, and the corpse did not return the honor to the master after rinsing his mouth, and the procedure was over.

During the period from the funeral to the crying after the funeral, the sacrifice of the five rituals shall not be held.

Although the funeral can be carried out, the procedure should be simplified, and the process will be completed until the host offers wine to the celebrity.

Zeng Zi asked: The sacrificial shrine of the princes, all the ritual utensils have been set up, and then suddenly heard the bad news that the Son of Heaven died and the queen died, and the monarch and wife died in China, what should I do?

Confucius replied: The sacrifice should be stopped immediately.

From the time of the death to the time when the deceased is in the coffin and the coffin is stopped for burial, from the funeral to the time when the mourner comes back with the god in his hand and weeps, during this period of sacrifice and non-sacrifice, how to make the sacrifice, all follow the practice of the Son of Heaven in this situation.

Zeng Zi asked: What are the reasons for the doctor's temple sacrifice, all kinds of sacrifices have been prepared, but they cannot be carried out to the end, so that they are abolished halfway?

Confucius replied: There are nine reasons.

Zeng Zi asked again: What are the 9 reasons?

Confucius replied: When the Son of Heaven dies, the queen dies, the king dies, the monarch's wife dies, the monarch's temple burns, the sun eclipses, the parents die, the grandparents die, the cousins die, and in these nine situations, the sacrifice must be stopped.

As for the death of a foreign relative, the sacrifice can continue for those below the Qi decay, but the procedure should also be simplified.

Specifically, when the outer mourning belongs to the relatives of Qi Yuan, during the sacrifice, the corpse walks into the room and eats three mouthfuls of food, so he is no longer persuaded to continue eating, and after eating, the master drinks wine and invites the corpse to rinse his mouth, and after the corpse rinses his mouth, he will no longer pay tribute, and the program should end; If the funeral outside the gate belongs to the relatives of great merit, the program of the corpse to return the wine to the host can also be added on this basis; If the external funeral belongs to the relatives of the small merit, the sacrifice can continue on this basis until the host's housewife and the chief bin offer wine to the corpse.

The difference between scholars and doctors in this matter is that even if a relative of the monk dies during the sacrifice, the sacrifice should be stopped.

However, if the ancestor to be sacrificed and the deceased no longer have a mourning relationship, then the sacrifice can be carried out as usual.
