Book of Rites
Ceng Zi askedZeng Zi asked, "What is it like when you are born and your son is born?" confucius said, "The officials in charge are from the main body, to the north, to the south of the west. I wish my crown, hold my silk, and rise to the west. If I do not rise to the hall, I will not cry. 3 the message, he said: 'if a son is born, dare to sue. 'Rise, lay a coin on the east side of the funeral, cry, fall. All the masters and officials, in the room, did not cry. 1 sad, anti-position. Then the court laid a memorial. Xiao Zai lifted the coin. On the third day, the masters gave their honor to the officials, as they were in the first place, to the north. Big slaughter big wish all benefit crown. Young teachers serve their children to decline. Wish first, son from, slaughter zong people from. Getting started, the crier stopped, and the son rose from the west. North before the funeral. I wish to stand in the southeast corner of the funeral. The message 3, saying:' a son of a deacon, dare to see. 'Zi Bai Ji Sou cried. I wish all the masters of the Zaizong, the officials, weeping, the three 3, descending, the east against the throne, all favoring and the three 3 in the house. Attack and decline, stick, lay out. Da Zai's life wishes history, and he has been sued all over the 5 to worship mountains and rivers."
Zeng Zi asked, "If you have been buried and your son is born, what will you be like?" Confucius said, "The great slaughter is from the great blessing to you. In March, it is named to you, and it is named to the mountains and rivers of Sheji Patriarch Temple." Confucius said: "The princes are suitable for the son of heaven, and they will tell their ancestors and lay their foundation on you. The crown and out of the view of the dynasty, life wish history to tell in the mountains and rivers of Sheji Zongmiao. It is the order of the country's five features and then the road. The accuser has been everywhere for five days, but he is also indecent. Any complaint, with animal coins. Oppositionally, as well. When the princes meet, they will tell you, and the court will go out of the court. Life wishes history to sue in the mountains and rivers of the five temples. Also life national facial features, way out. On the contrary, I will tell my ancestors. But I wish history to tell those who have told before, and then listen to the court."
Zeng Zi asked, "There is also a funeral, what is it? What's the first and what's the last?" confucius said: "Burial is first light and then heavy. Its memorial also, first heavy and then light; Ritual also. Self-initiation and burial, no memorial ceremony, no mourning for burial; Anti-burial ceremony, then resignation at the funeral, then repair the burial. Its danger also, first heavy and then light, courtesy also."
Confucius said, "Although Zongzi is 70, there are no housewives. Not Zongzi, although there is no housewife."
Zeng Zi asked, "What is the point of giving in to the crown, the crown, and hearing the loss of great merit?" confucius said, "If you lose your life inside, you will be ruined; if you lose your life outside, you will be crowned but not blessed. If the crown does not come, it will be abolished. If the crown is not reached the date, and there is a loss of great success and small success, it will be crowned by mourning." "In addition to the funeral, do not change the crown?" Confucius said: "the son of heaven gave the crown of the vassal and the doctor to serve in the temple, return to the memorial ceremony, serve the gift, so there is a crown, and no crown Li. Father did not crown, has been crowned and sacrificed to you; already sacrificed, and see uncle and uncle, and then the crown."
Zeng Zi asked, "Why don't you pay for traveling if you sacrifice?" Confucius said, "If you hear about it, your master will practice the sacrifice instead of traveling. If you pay for it, you will pay for it. If you pay for it, you will pay for it. If you pay for traveling, you will not be polite; if you pay for it, you will pay for it."
Zeng Zi asked, "Can the funeral of great merit be related to the funeral of Yu Dian?" Confucius said, "How great is it? You can do everything from the decline to the decline, and you can do it with courtesy." Zeng Zi said: "Don't you take it lightly and focus on each other?" Confucius said: "It's not true. The death of the emperor and the princes, the death of the loser; the doctor, the death of the loser; the scholar, the friend; the deficiency, the result of the great merit; the deficiency, the opposite." Zeng Zi asked, "Can a small service be associated with a sacrifice?" Confucius said, "Why do you need a small service? Since the decline of the following and the sacrifice, the ceremony is also." Zeng Zi said: "Don't you pay heavy sacrifices with light mourning?" Confucius said: "The mourning sacrifices of the princes of the emperor are not to sacrifice those who do not kill the decline; the doctors, those who fall together, do not sacrifice; the scholars, if the sacrifices are not enough, they will be taken from the brothers."
Zeng Zi asked, "If you know each other, can you have mourning clothes and sacrifice?" Confucius said, "If you don't sacrifice, how can you help others."
Zeng Zi asked, "Can the waste of mourning clothes be related to Yu's memorial?" Confucius said, "It is not polite to say that it is not good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it is good to say that it."
Ceng Zi asked, "What is the case when the faint gift is a coin, and there is a good day when the female parents die?" confucius said, "Son-in-law makes people hang. If the parents of the son-in-law die, the female family also makes people hanging. Father's funeral is called father, mother's funeral is called mother. In the absence of parents, they are called uncle and mother. Son-in-law, buried, son-in-law's uncle fatal daughter's family said: 'A son has a parent's bereavement, no heir as a brother, so that a certain fatal. 'The woman promised, and if she dared to marry, she would be courteous. The son-in-law is free of mourning, the parents of the daughter make people invite, the son-in-law takes, and then marries, which is also a courtesy. The parents of the daughter die, and so does the son-in-law."
Zeng Zi asked, "If you are welcome, the daughter is in the painting, but the parents of the son-in-law are dead, what is it like?" Confucius said, "If the daughter changes to cloth deep clothes, she will always be lost. If the daughter is on the way, and the daughter's parents are dead, the daughter will be opposed." "If the son-in-law welcomes him personally, but the daughter does not come, and there is a great loss of success and failure, what is it like?" Confucius said: "If the man does not enter, he will serve the outside times; if the woman enters, he will serve the inside times; and then he will rise to the throne and cry." Ceng Zi asked, "Apart from mourning, there is no longer a faint gift?" confucius said, "Sacrifice is not a sacrifice when it is out of date, but also a ritual. Why is it contrary to the beginning?" confucius said, "When you marry a woman's house, you 3't stop at night and think about each other. Take a woman's house, three days do not lift joy, think heir also. In March, I saw you at the temple and called you a woman. Choose a day to sacrifice to you, the righteousness of a woman."
Zeng Zi asked, "What would a woman be like if she died before seeing her in the temple?" Confucius said, "If you don't move to your ancestors, if you don't use your emperor's aunt, if you don't use your husband's staff, you'll be buried in the party of the woman's family, which shows that you are not a woman."
Zeng Zi asked, "If you take your daughter, there will be an auspicious day and her daughter will die, what will be like?" Confucius said, "If your son-in-law declines and hangs up, you will be buried and removed. The same is true for your husband's death."
Ceng Zi asked, "2 are there orphans in mourning and 2 are there in the temple?" confucius said, "There are no two days in the sky, no two kings in the earth, no 2 in the world. It is not known as a gift. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi urgently raised his troops to act as a false Lord. And anti, hidden all ancestral temples. There are 2 masters in the temple, since Huan Gong began. The second of the loss was orphaned, then the former Wei Ling Gong Shi Lu, was Ji Huanzi's loss, Wei Jun please hang, mourning the public resignation not life, the public is the main, the guest hanging. Kang Zi stands on the right side of the door and on the north side. Gong Yi Rang ascended from the east step, Xixiang; Guest ascended from the west step hanging. Public worship, Xing, cry; Kang Zibai, Ji Yu in position, there is a fo debate. Today's second orphan, since Ji Kangzi's fault."
Ceng Zi asked, "If the ancient people teach and walk, they will surely move to the temple?" confucius said: "The emperor patrols the temple to move the main line, in the car, there must be respect. Now also, if you take the Lord of the seven temples to do it, you will lose it. When the seven temples and five temples have no virtual masters; The virtual Lord, only the heavenly son collapsed, the princes died and went to their country, and sacrificed to their ancestors, for the unowned ear. I heard all the old people say: 'when the emperor falls and the king of the country falls, I wish to take the master of the group of temples and hide all the ancestral temples. The pawn wept and got things done, and the latter Lord each rebelled against his temple. When you go to your country, you will take the Lord of the temples to follow and be courteous. When the sacrifice is made to the ancestors, I wish to welcome the Lord of the 4 temple. Lord, if you go out of the temple and enter the temple, you will have it. 'Old cloud."
Zeng Zi asked, "The ancients who learned and did what they did, but if they did not move to the Lord, then what Lord?" Confucius said, "The Lord lives." He asked, "What is also?" Confucius said, "The emperor and the vassals will come out, and they will tell your ancestors with money and silk, and then they will be sent out and put in the car. Every shed, they will lay down and then give up. Instead, they will tell, they will set up pawns, collect coins and jade, and hide between the two ranks, but they will come out. Cover your life."
Zi you asked, "bereavement of a loving mother is like a mother, is it courtesy and?" Confucius said, "Indecent ceremony is also. In ancient times, men had fu outside and loving mothers inside. how could they serve their children? In the past, Lu Zhaogong lost his mother less, there was a loving mother, and her death was also good. The public had to endure it, and wanted to lose it. There was a company to hear it, saying: the ancient ritual, the loving mother did not take it, and today the monarch served it, is against the ancient ritual and disorderly the national law; If it is done at the end, there will be a company to leave it for later generations. Nothing is impossible? The public said: "The ancient emperor practice crown swallow dwelling. Gong Fenren also, then practice dubbed bereavement of loving mother. Bereaved mother, since Lu Zhaogong also."
Ceng Zi asked: "The vassals travel to see the emperor, the beginning, not the final ceremony, waste a few?" Confucius said: "4." "Excuse me." He said: "Great temple fire, solar eclipse, after the mourning, rain stained clothing loss, then waste. If the princes are all there and the solar eclipse, then from the emperor to save the day, each with its own color and soldiers. Great temple fire, from the emperor to put out the fire, not to use the color and soldiers."
Ceng Zi asked, "When the princes meet, they will not be allowed to end the ceremony. How many will be discarded?" Confucius said, "Six." "Excuse me." He said, "The emperor collapses, the temple is on fire, the solar eclipse, the funeral of the later wife, and the rain is stained with clothing and disfigurement, then it is useless."
Zeng Zi asked: "The Emperor tasted the sacrifice of the 5 sacrifice of the Suburb Society, but the Emperor died, and the death of the Emperor, what would be the death?" Confucius said: "Abolish."
Zeng Zi asked, "What is the sacrifice like when the sun is sacrificed and the temple is on fire?" confucius said, "It's just a sacrifice. If it is sacrificed and not killed, it will be wasted. The emperor collapsed, not funeral sacrifice not line; Not only funeral and sacrifice, the sacrifice also, into the corpse, 3 rice is not, 5 is not, just. As for crying back, the sacrifice of 5 sacrifice is not acceptable. It has been buried and sacrificed, and it is only a wish to offer."
Zeng Zi asked: "The vassal's sacrifice to the country, the emperor's death, after the death of the emperor, the death of the king, the wife's funeral, such as what?" Confucius said: "Abolish. Since the demise of the funeral, since the beginning of the cry, serve the handsome emperor."
Zeng Zi asked, "The sacrifice of the doctor, the tripod is not only Chen, the pea is not only set, not into a ceremony, the waste of a few?" Confucius said, "Nine." Excuse me. He said: "The emperor collapsed, the funeral of the later, the death of the king, the funeral of his wife, the fire of the great temple of the king, the solar eclipse, the funeral of the 3 year, the rise and fall, and the great achievements are all abolished. Foreign mourning since the decline of the following, line also. The sacrifice of the same decline also, the corpse into, 3 rice is not you, the knife is not vinegar just; Great work is just a mystery. Small merit, room things just. The reason why the disciples are different is not to sacrifice, but to the dead they sacrifice without serving."
Ceng Zi asked, "3 year's funeral, hanging?" confucius said: "3 years of mourning, practice, do not stand in groups, do not travel. A gentleman's ritual is to adorboth his feelings and cry 3 the funeral of the year. Is it not also empty?" ceng Zi asked, "If a doctor has a private funeral, he can get rid of it. If a gentleman has a private funeral, how can he get rid of it?" confucius said, "If you are ashamed of yourself and dare not take it privately, why not? As a result, it has been too sometimes. The funeral of the king, after serving Yin sacrifice, ceremony also."
Zeng Zi asked, "Is it possible to eliminate the loss of parents?" Confucius said, "The first king made rituals, but if it is out of date, it is not possible to eliminate it, but if it is not possible, it is too restrictive. Therefore, a gentleman does not sacrifice when it is out of date, but it is also possible to do so."
Zeng Zi asked, "If the emperor is dead, the funeral will be the funeral, but if the minister has the funeral of his parents, then what is it like?" Confucius said, "If you live at home, if you have a good thing, then you will live in the place of the emperor, day and night." He said, "If the monarch is open, but the minister has the loss of his parents, what is it like?" Confucius said, "If you cry, you will be sent back to the monarch." He said, "If the emperor is not at the funeral, but the minister is at the funeral of his parents, what will it be like?" Confucius said, "If you go to the funeral, you will go back to the emperor. If you have something to do, you will go back to the emperor. If you have something to do, you will go back to the emperor."
The base is not noble, the young are not long, and the ceremony is also. Only the son of heaven, called heaven with eulogy. The vassal phase eulogy, indecent also.
Ceng Zi asked, "When you go out of Xinjiang, you will be precepts for 3 years, and you will be followed by Funan. Jun, what is his entry like?" confucius said: "The total funeral service is made of hemp, hemp, scruffy, philippines and staff. Into the self-que, from the west step. If it is small, the child will be exempted from the bier, enter the self-gate, and ascend to the self-service stage. The Grand Master also 1 the festival." Zeng Zi asked, "What is the cause of the loss of the monarch, but what is it to hear of the loss of his parents?" Confucius said, "Therefore, he will return after being sealed, but he will not receive his son." Zeng Zi asked, "What is the reason for the death of your parents?" Confucius said, "So, since you have been sealed, you have changed to serve."
Zeng Zi asked, "The patriarch is a scholar and the concubine is a doctor, so what is the sacrifice?" Confucius said, "The above animals are sacrificed in the family of the patriarch. Zhu Yue: A filial son recommends a common thing for a meson. If the son of the son is guilty and resides in another country, the son of the son is a doctor, and his sacrifice is also, I wish to say: a filial son makes a meson do his usual things. The Lord does not tire of offering sacrifices, does not travel, is not false, does not sacrifice, does not deserve. Cloth is laid on bin, bin is laid but not lifted, not meat. His speech Yu Bin said: "Zong brother Zong brother Zong son in another country, make a certain speech."
Zeng Zi asked, "If your son goes to another country, can you offer sacrifices to those who live without a rank?" Confucius said, "Sacrifice!" May I ask, "What is the sacrifice like?" Confucius said, "Look at the tomb and serve it as an altar, and sacrifice it in time. If the son dies, he will be sued in the tomb and then sacrificed in the home. The son dies, the name is not filial piety, but the body is not. The son of the disciples who travel, there is a son of sacrifice, if righteousness. Today's sacrifices, not the first righteousness, so falsely."
Zeng Zi asked, "Does the sacrifice have a corpse? If you hate the sacrifice, you can do it." Confucius said, "Those who sacrifice to the funeral will have a corpse, and the corpse will be a grandson. If you have a son, you will be held. If you have no grandson, you will be taken from the same surname. Sacrifice to the funeral without the corpse is also the funeral." Confucius said, "There is yin disgust, and there is yang disgust." Zeng Zi asked, "What is meant by being tired of yin and yang?" confucius said, "The son of the clan died for the ruin, and the son of the clan died for the rear. Its auspicious offering, special sacrifice. If you don't lift the sacrifice, if you don't raise it, if you don't accuse it, if you don't make it, you don't make it. Every ruin and no latter, sacrificed to the family of the son of the clan, when the white of the room, respect to the east room, is called yang hate."
Zeng Zi asked: "As for burial, if there is food on the day, will there be any change?" Confucius said: "In the past, I was buried in the alley party, and there was food on the day, and the old man said: Qiu! Stop the bier, just right, stop crying to hear the change." If it is clear, it will go later. The ceremony also. Anti-burial, and Qiu asked: "Husband's coffin can not be anti-also, every day there is food, do not know its already late, then how to do?" Lao Dan said: "the princes of the emperor, see the day and walk, catch the day and give up, pay; the doctor, see the day and walk, catch the day and give up. The husband does not flea, nor does he sleep in the evening. A walker who sees the stars, only sinners and those who rush to the death of their parents! If you have food every day, you will know that you will not see the stars? And the gentleman saluted and did not suffer from the relatives of man. I smell all the old clouds."
Zeng Zi asked: "He died in the house for the emperor, and the ceremony said: The mansion is restored, the private house is gone. If the country is made, the mansion is gone, what is the private house?" Confucius said: "It is good to ask! Since the house of a doctor, it is called a private house; what the mansion and the public do is called a mansion. The mansion is restored, this is also."
Ceng Zi asked, "When I was in mourning, I was buried in the garden during the earth week. Then I went there by plane, and Tu You also went there. If the tomb is far away, what is the burial like?" confucius said: "I heard all the old people say: the past history lost a son and died, the next also wounds. The tomb is far away. Zhao Gong said:" Why don't you collect the coffin in the palace? Shi Yi said: How dare I? Calling a public statement to the Duke of Zhou, the Duke of Zhou said: Wouldn't it be? History is lost. The next ruin uses a coffin coat coffin, which has been lost since history."
Ceng Zi asked, "If you are dead in the public, you will be able to stay, but if you are in the public, what will you do?" Confucius said, "If you go out, you will be courteous to the public." Confucius said: "When the corpse comes out with a crown, all the officials and men will come down. The corpse will be in style and there will be a precursor."
Zi Xia asked: "The mourning of the 3 year of the death of the mourning, the matter of the Jin Revolution is not clear, the courtesy and the beginning of the company?" Confucius said: "The mourning of the 3 year of the Xia Dynasty, both the funeral and the funeral of the Yin people. Remember: a gentleman does not seize the relatives of others, nor can he seize the relatives. This is what it is!" Zixia said: "The things of the Golden Revolution have nothing to do with, not with?" Confucius said: "I heard the old man said:" The former Lu Gong Bo Bird has something to do with it. Today, with the loss of 3 years, from its benefit, I know also."
