History

Chapter 22
Tai Shigong said: Yang Yang is virtuous!Dominating all things and enslaving the masses, is it human power?Yu Zhida, a ceremonial official, observes the gains and losses of the three generations, and knows how to make rites based on human feelings, and to make ceremonies according to human nature.

The human nature has many latitudes and longitudes, and the rules are omnipresent. It is lured by benevolence and righteousness, and restrained by punishment. Therefore, those who are virtuous are honored, and those who are rich are favored and honored.The human body is safe to drive and ride, for which gold and jade are wrongly balanced to adorn it; the eyes are fond of five colors, and they are used for writing articles to show their abilities; The concubine is ashamed, sour and salty so that it is beautiful; loves the precious and kind, and ponders Guibi for it to understand its meaning.Therefore, there are more seats on the road, cloth clothes made of leather, red strings and holes, and a big soup of black wine, so prevent them from being extravagant and save them.It is based on the order of the monarch, the ministers, the court, the noble and the humble, and the classification of the Li, the common people, the cars, the clothes, the palace, the food, the wedding, the funeral, and the sacrifices.Zhong Ni said: "I don't want to see the water that has been poured and passed away by itself."

Zhou declines, rituals are abandoned and music is broken, and the size exceeds each other. Guan Zhong's family has both three returns.Those who follow the law and abide by the righteousness are insulted by the world, and those who are extravagant and poor are called honor.Since Zixia, the senior disciple of the disciples, it is like saying that "they go out and see the splendor and talk, and they are happy to hear the master's way. The two are in conflict and cannot decide on their own." Yu Cheng vulgar?Confucius said, "The name must also be rectified." It is not suitable for Wei to live.After Zhongni passed away, it would be painful for the apprentices to sink into oblivion, or to be in Qi, Chu, or into rivers and seas!

Until Qin had the world, he studied the etiquette of the six kingdoms and adopted their goodness. Although it was not in line with the holy system, he respected the monarch and restrained his ministers, and the court was generous. This has been the case since ancient times.As for Gao Zu, there are only four seas, and Shusun Tong has gained and lost quite a bit, and most of them have inherited Qin.From the title of Son of Heaven down to the names of Zuo Liao and palace officials, few changes have been made.When Xiaowen came to the throne, there was a councilor who wanted to decide on etiquette and etiquette. Xiaowen was good at Taoism, thinking that complicated etiquette and appearance would not help governing, what is the meaning of bowing, so let him go.During Xiaojing’s time, Chao, the official censor, misunderstood the name of punishment in the world, and several thousand remonstrated with Xiaojing, saying: “The princes and vassals, the ministers are an example, and the system is the same as in ancient and modern times. Today’s big country is dictating different politics. If you don’t report to the capital, you may not pass it on to your descendants.” Xiaojing used his strategy, but the six kingdoms rebelled against each other, and the wrong was the first name, and the emperor punished the wrong to solve the problem.The matter is in Yuan An's language.It's just that the post-officials support An Lu, and they dare not reconsider.

Ascending to the throne today, he recruited scholars of Confucianism and ordered a total of ceremonies, but it took more than ten years.In other words, in ancient times, there was peace, all peoples were in harmony, and auspiciousness should be discerned, so it was custom-made.According to the above, the imperial censor said: "Gai is ordered to be a king, each has his own interests, and he returns to the same place through different paths. It is said that it is made for the people, and it is the rule to follow the customs. The discussants call it Taikoo. What do the people expect? The Han Dynasty is also a family matter, and the codes and laws are not passed on. What do you mean by descendants? Those who transform the prosperity are rich and prosperous, and those who treat the shallow are narrow, so don’t force them!” It was based on the Yuan Dynasty in the early days of Taichu. Officials' ceremonies are considered to be normal, and they are left behind.

Rituals start with people.There are desires in life, but if you don't get what you want, you can't be without anger. If you are angry without measure, you will fight, and if you fight, you will be chaotic.The former kings hated chaos, so ritual and righteousness were established to nourish people's desires, and to make people's desires not exhausted by things, and things not yield to desires.So those who give gifts also raise them.The five flavors of rice and sorghum nourish the mouth; pepper, orchid and fennel, so nourish the nose; Those who give gifts also support them.

A gentleman is not only supported by him, but also good at distinguishing him.The so-called distinguishers, high and low are equal, senior and young are different, and rich and poor are all called.Therefore, the emperor's road crosses the mat, so he nourishes his body; he carries stinky cockroaches on his side, so he nourishes his nose; there is a wrong balance in front, so he nourishes his eyes; "The dragon flag has nine wings, so it fosters trust; the bed bears a tiger, and the shark is like a dragon, so it fosters prestige."Therefore, a horse on the road must be believed until it is taught to be obedient, and then ride it, so it is also safe.Who knows the reason why a husband is born and died is to keep in good health.Who knows the reason why a husband cares about expenses is to raise money, who knows why a husband is respectful and resigned to raise security, who knows why a husband is polite, righteous, and literary and rational to raise love.

If a person lives for seeing, he will die; if he is profitable for seeing, he will be harmed; if he is lazy, he will be safe, if he is in danger;Therefore, if a sage is concerned with ritual and righteousness, he will gain both; if he is concerned with emotion, he will lose both.Therefore, the Confucians will make people gain both, and the Mohists will make people lose both.It is the distinction between Confucianism and Mohism.

It is also the extreme of governance and discrimination, the foundation of strength, the way of prestige, and the sum of fame and fame.The king and the duke let it go, so the whole world is governed, and the princes are also ministers;Therefore, strong and sharp soldiers are not enough to win, high cities and deep pools are not enough to be strong, and strict orders and heavy punishments are not enough to be powerful.If you follow the way, you will do it, if you don't follow the way, you will lose it.The people of Chu have shark skin and rhinoceros, so they are armor, which is as hard as gold and stone; Wan's huge iron cast, drilled like bee worms, lightly sharpened, and died like the wind.However, the soldiers died in Chuishe, and Tang Mo died; Zhuang Yao rose, and Chu was divided into four ginseng.Is there no strong leather and good soldiers?The reason why it is unified is not because of the way.Ruying thinks it is dangerous, Jianghan thinks it is a pond, Denglin blocks it, and Fangcheng is the edge.However, when Qin Shi arrived at Yanying, he acted like a haggard.Is there no solid barrier and danger?The reason why it is unified is not because of the way.Zhou dissected Bigan, imprisoned Jizi, and punished and killed innocent people.However, when the Zhou division arrived, the order was not enough, and the people could not be used.Is it true that orders are not strict and punishments are not strict?The reason why it is unified is not because of the way.

The soldiers of the ancients are nothing more than spears, spears and bows, but the enemy country does not wait to be tried.Fortresses are not gathered, ditches and pools are not dug, fortifications are not treed, opportunities are not expanded, but the country is not afraid of the outside world, and those who are strong have no other reason. It's like a scene.If there are those who can't help their fate, and then they are punished, the people will know their crimes.Therefore, punish one person and the whole world obeys.Sinners are not the only ones who know their crimes are their own.That's why punishment is spared and power is like a stream, there is no other reason, it is because of its way.Therefore, if you follow the way, you will do it, and if you don't follow the way, you will lose it.In ancient times, Emperor Yao ruled the world. He killed one person and punished two, and the world ruled.It is said that "do not try to be powerful, but do not use punishment".

Heaven and earth are the basis of life; ancestors are the basis of kind; rulers and teachers are the basis of governance.No Heaven and Earth Evil Born?No ancestors evil?Evil governance without a ruler and a teacher?If the three die, there will be no peace.Therefore, the rituals, serving the heavens above, serving the earth below, respecting the ancestors and honoring the emperor and teachers are the three roots of rituals.

Therefore, the king is Tian Taizu, the princes dare not conceive, and the great officials have Changzong, so they can distinguish between high and low.The rule of high and low is the root of success.The suburbs belong to the emperor, the society reaches to the feudal lords, and the letters reach the scholar-bureaucrats, so it is distinguished that the honorable is respected, the humble is humble, the big one is huge, and the small one is small.Therefore, those who have the world will serve the seventh generation, those who have a country will serve the fifth generation, those who have the land of the five vehicles will serve the third generation, those who have the land of the three vehicles will serve the second generation, and those who have special animals and eat them will not be allowed to set up ancestral temples. It is wide, and those with weak accumulation are also narrow.

The big feast goes to Xuanzun, and the fishy fish is served on the zu. First, the big soup is the basis of expensive food and drink.To feast on Xuanzun and use thin wine, to eat first millet and then to eat rice, and to sacrifice first big soup to fill the shame of the common people.The expensive version is called the text, and the personal use is called the theory. The two are combined to form a text, which is called Dalong.Therefore, Xuanzun is above Zun, fishy fish is above Zu, and beans are first big soup, Yiye.Lijue is not a waste, success is not a taste, three times are not food, a big faint is not abolished, a big temple is not dead, the beginning is not small, one.The prime roads are plain, the hemp rice paddies in the suburbs, and the loose hemp used in mourning clothes.After three years of crying, there is nothing wrong with it. The song of the Qing Temple is advocated and sighed three times.

Every ritual begins with getting rid of it, becomes about writing, and ends with tax.Therefore, to prepare, all the love and literature are exhausted; secondly, the love and literature replace the victory;The heaven and the earth are united, the sun and the moon are illuminated, the four seasons are sequenced, the stars are moved, the rivers are flowed, all things are prosperous, likes and dislikes are festivald, and joy and anger are matched.If you think that the bottom will be smooth, if you think that the top will be clear.

Tai Shigong said: "It's over!"Lilong thinks it is the ultimate, but nothing in the world can benefit or lose.The beginning and the end are consistent, and the beginning and the end are corresponding. It can be distinguished from the text, and it can be explained from the observation.Those who follow it will govern, and those who do not follow it will be in chaos; those who follow it will be safe, and those who do not will be in danger.If the villain can't, then also.

The appearance of etiquette is sincere and profound, and the observation of the sameness and difference is firm and white, but it is weak when you enter it.Its appearance is honest and majestic, and it is good at saying that the classics are crude and crude, so you can look at it when you enter it.His appearance is honest and lofty, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he is considered to be high if he is vulgar, so he will join the team.Therefore, in Shengcheng Chen, one cannot be deceived by straightness; in Hengcheng County, one cannot be deceived by severity;Therefore, the rope is the ultimate in straightness; the balance is the ultimate in flatness; the rule is the ultimate in party members; the ritual is the ultimate in humanity.However, those who do not follow the etiquette do not have enough etiquette, so they are called people without rules;Among rituals, being able to think is called being able to think; being able to think without being easy is called being able to be firm.If you can think about it, you can strengthen it, and if it is better, it is holy.The sky is the extreme of height; the earth is the extreme of the lower; the sun and the moon are the extreme of brightness;

Use property for use, high and low for writing, how much is different, and killing is the key.When the style is rich, the lust is spared, and the etiquette is prosperous;A gentleman achieves prosperity at the top, kills at the bottom, and stays in the middle.The steps are galloping and widening, but it is the nature of a gentleman to guard the court.The human domain is the domain, and the gentleman is also.The outside is, the people are also.So Zhong Yan, Fang Huang Zhou Jia, the song got its order, and the saint was also.Therefore, the thick one is the accumulation of etiquette; the big one is the extensiveness of etiquette;
