When the courtiers look at the Son of Heaven, their eyes should not go up to the collar of the Son of Heaven overlapping on his chest, and the lower part should not be lower than the belt of the Son of Heaven. When a courtier looks at the king, his gaze should be below the king's face, on top of the collar on his chest. The doctor's subordinates can look at the doctor at eye level and look directly at the face. The subordinates of the taxi are allowed to look around the taxi for five steps to the left and right.

The women's greeting gifts are jujubes, hazelnuts, and jiāng cinnamon without ginger, and dried meat, dates, and chestnuts with ginger.

When marrying, if the daughter is married to the Son of Heaven, the woman's messenger should humbly say, "Prepare for the people"; If you are marrying a king, you should modestly say "prepare wine syrup". If you are marrying a doctor, you should modestly say, "Be ready to sweep."

(3) "On the Tan Bow"

When the son-in-law of Zhongzi (Zilu) died, he did not appoint his grandson as his heir, but made his concubine his heir. In order to show irony of this practice, Tan Gong deliberately wore free clothes to mourn, and said: What is going on? I've never heard of anything like this. Tan Gong walked quickly to the right side of the door and asked Zifu Bozi, saying, "What is the reason why Zhongzi (Zilu) abandoned his grandson and set up his concubine?"

Bozi covered for Zhongzi (Zilu) and said: Zhongzi is just following the precedent of the ancients; In the past, King Wen of Zhou gave up his son-in-law Boyi to take the exam and set up King Wu, and Song Weizi did not set up his eldest son and grandson but set up his younger brother Yan, so Zhongzi was just following the precedent of the ancients. Later, Confucius's disciple Ziyou consulted Confucius on this matter, and Confucius replied: Zilu's approach is wrong, and he should appoint his grandson as his successor.

Serve your parents, do not praise them for their state affairs, do not speak outright and offend, or serve them carefully from the left or right, and work hard until they die, and mourn them with great sorrow for three years. Serving the king, he has been bluntly admonished about his faults, and if anyone asks about state affairs, he may as well speak up about the king's faults. Carefully waited, fulfilled his duties, worked hard, and did not complain until the death of the king, and then kept the funeral for three years according to the etiquette of the bereaved father. Serving the teacher, you must not be directly offended by his mistakes, but you must not always be silent, and wait as carefully as you treat your parents, until the teacher dies, although you do not wear linen and filial piety, but the sorrow in the center of the three years is the same as bereavement.

Ji Wuzi built a residence, and the homestead was originally the cemetery of the Du family, and someone from the Du family was buried under the west steps. Du Jiaxin died and asked Ji Wuzi for permission to be buried together, and Ji Wuzi agreed. Du's descendants entered Ji Wuzi's mansion and did not dare to cry. Ji Wuzi said: The joint burial is not the ancient French system, there has been a joint burial since the Duke of Zhou, and it has not changed since; Since I allowed the Du family to be buried together, but not allowed the Du family to cry, what is the reason? So they let them weep as much as they could.
