Zhong Ni Yan is the twenty-eighth

Zhongni Yanju, Zizhang Zigongzi Youzhi, indulged in etiquette. Zi said: "Residence? The three women, the female rites, the maids are all around, and they are all over the place.

Zigong crossed the table and said, "Dare to ask?" Zi said: "Respect but not courtesy, it is called wild; Respectful but not courteous, it is said to give; Courage without courtesy is called rebellion.

Zi said: "Give mercy and benevolence." Zi said: "Teacher, you have passed; And business, too, is not as good as. The child is the mother of all Judah, and she cannot teach what she can eat.

Zigong crossed the table and said, "Dare to ask why is this the one who is also in this?" Zi said: "Etiquette! The husband is also in the system.

Zigong retreated, and Yan Youjin said: "Those who dare to ask for etiquette, those who lead evil and are all good?" Zi said, "Yes."

But what then? Zi said: "The righteousness of the suburbs, so the benevolent ghosts and gods; Taste the gift of the gift, so benevolence and wisdom; The gift of memorial, so benevolence and mourning; The gift of shooting the township, so the Renxiang Party also; The gift of food, so benevolent guests also.

Zi said: "Knowing the righteousness of the suburbs, tasting the gift, governing the country is just like the palm of your hand!" Therefore, it is polite to live in it, so the elders and young distinguish it; There is courtesy in the boudoir, so the three clans are harmonious; The court is polite, so the order of the officials is also; It is polite to hunt in the field, so it is leisurely; With the military courtesy, the martial arts are also successful.

Therefore, the palace has its degree, the measure has its image, the taste has its time, the joy has its festival, the car has its style, the ghosts and gods have its feast, the mourning discipline has its mourning, the party has its discernment, the official has its body, and the political affairs have its implementation.

Add to the body and make mistakes in front, and all the people move appropriately. Zi said: "Who is the celebrity? The rule of the matter is also.

A gentleman has his own affairs, and he must have his own rule. Governing the country and being rude, such as being ignorant? What is it?

For example, if you are in a secluded room all night long, how can you see it if it is not a candle? If you are rude, there is nothing wrong with your hands and feet, nothing to add to your ears and eyes, and nothing to control your advance and retreat.

Therefore, in the place where they live, the elders and the young lose their differences, the three families of the boudoir lose their harmony, the court officials lose their order, and the fields hunt.

The military and martial arts lose their policies, the military and martial arts lose their system, the palace loses their degree, the measurement of the tripod loses its image, the taste loses its time, the music loses its festival, the car loses its style, the ghosts and gods lose their feast, the mourning discipline loses its mourning, the discerning loses its party, the official loses its body, and the political affairs lose its implementation; Added to the body and wrong in front, all the movements of the crowd are inappropriate.

In this way, there is no ancestor to negotiate with the public. Zi said: "Listen carefully! There are three women, I speak women, and there are still nine rites.

There are four feasts. Gou knows this, although it is in the middle of the acres, the saint has been. The two gentlemen met; Let and enter, enter and the county prosper, let and ascend, ascend and enjoy.

Under the management of "Xiang", "Wu", "Xia"  Xuxing. Chen Qi recommended it, ordered its etiquette and music, and prepared its hundred officials.

In this way, and then the gentleman knows benevolence. The line is regular, but also decent, and Luanzhong "Cai Qi", the guest out with "Yong", and the thorough with "Zhenyu".

Therefore, a gentleman has nothing and is not in courtesy. Entry and gold, show affection; Shengsong "Qing Temple", Shede also; Next, manage "Elephant", and show things.

Therefore, the ancient gentlemen do not need to be in person and speak in person, but only show each other with etiquette and music. Zi said: "Those who are courteous are also reasonable."

Those who are happy are also festivals. The gentleman is unreasonable, unmoving, and unrestrained. can't be poetry, Yu Limiao; can't be happy, Yu Lisu; Thin in morality, in etiquette.

Zi said: "The system is in the ceremony, and the text is in the ceremony; Yes, what does it care about? Zigong crossed the table and said: "Dare to ask if you are poor?"

Zi said: "The ancients and? The ancients too. To reach the courtesy but not to the pleasure, it is said to be primary; To be happy but not to be courteous, it is said to be biased.

Husband, up to happiness but not to courtesy, is to pass on this name, the ancients also. Zizhang asked about politics, and Zi said: "Master!

Before, my language is a woman? The gentleman knows how to be polite and happy, and he just makes a mistake. Zi Zhang replied. Zi said: "Shi Er thinks that he must lay out a few feasts, raise and drop to pay for the sacrificial, and then call it a courtesy?"

Do you think that you must do the signs, Xingyu, make bells and drums, and then say that it is happy? In other words, courtesy.

Do it and have fun, and have fun. The gentleman is strong and stands in the south, and the husband is peaceful in the world. The princes are in the court, everything is subdued, and the hundred officials dare not accept things.

Where the rites are prosperous, the people are also governed; The ritual is abolished, and the crowd is chaotic. The room of the eye is skillful, there is the Ao, the seat is up and down, the car is left and right, the line is followed, the standing is orderly, and the ancient righteousness is also.

If there is no mystery in the room, it will be chaotic in the hall. If there is no up and down, it will be chaotic on the table. If there is no left and right car, it will be chaotic in the car.

If you don't follow it, you will be messed up. Standing and disorderly, it is chaotic in place. In the past, the princes of the Holy Emperor Ming Dynasty, distinguished the noble and the low, the young and the young, the men and women, and did not dare to cross each other, all of which were painted out from this.

"The three sons, both hearing this and the master, are obvious.
