"Xunzi Da Luo": Rituals in Ancient Daily Life

Sleeping does not skip the temple, the robe does not tip the sacrificial dress, the ceremony also.

The apse of the Jongmyo Temple cannot exceed the size of the front hall, and the dress for participating in the feast cannot exceed the dress worn by the sacrifice, which is a requirement of the ceremonial system.

The word "sleeping temple" in this sentence needs to be analyzed. The temple has two meanings, one refers to the ancestral temple, and the other refers to the temple where the princes of Tianzi deliberate.

Sleeping has five meanings, one refers to the living room of ordinary people. Every room is known as sleeping. "Ritual And Royal System" is sacrificed to the bed. The second refers to the halls of the princes. "Erya ShiGong": Zhou System, The Prince's Six Sleeps, Lu Sleeps One, And Small Sleeps Five. Road sleep, smelting place, small sleep, swallow resting place also. The third refers to the harem. The former temple is known as the temple, and the latter is known as the sleeping palace. The fourth refers to the apse in the temple where the ancestors' clothes are stored; the fifth refers to the mausoleum.

Ordinary people do not have a zongmiao temple, and the mausoleum is only available after Qin Shi Huang, so the first and fifth meanings of sleeping can be excluded. The size of the hall where the princes lived could not exceed the size of their temples, which did not seem to be in line with common sense, and the third meaning could be excluded. The sleeping temple refers either to the harem and front hall of the royal palace, or to the apse and antechamber of the Jongmyo Temple. Both interpretations make sense, but the second sentence speaks of sacrificial clothing, so I prefer to take the meaning of the apse and vestibule of the temple.

02 Socializing

Ji Shi Shang Zun, funeral Shang Relatives.

When doing a happy event, the seats are arranged according to the level of status; when the funeral is done, the seats are arranged according to the relationship with the deceased.

One life tooth in the township, then life in the clan, three lives, although the clan is seventy, do not dare to be the first. Upper Doctor, Middle Doctor, Lower Doctor.

Among the princes who were divided into nine lives, the dukes who dominated the lord were nine lives, the marquis and earl were seven lives, the viscount and baron were five lives; the three dukes of tianzi were eight lives, their secretaries were six lives, and their doctors were four lives; the three dukes were four lives, their secretaries were three lives, their doctors were re-ordered, and their soldiers were one life.

Seats are arranged for the village drink, and the one-life soldiers and the people who attend the banquet are arranged according to their age; the re-ordered doctors are arranged according to their age with the people of the same clan; the three-life doctors participate in the village drinks, and even the seventy-year-old people in the clan do not dare to rank ahead of him. Doctors are divided into upper doctors, middle doctors, and lower doctors.

Sit on your knees, stand on your feet, and respond to verbal vision. Stand in front of the first six feet and be large - six six thirty-six, three feet six feet.

The other person should sit and the gaze should stay on his knees; the other person should stand, and the eyes should stay on his feet; when answering questions, you should look at the other person's face. When the other person is standing, the distance you look at him cannot be less than six feet, and the farthest cannot exceed three feet and six feet. (I don't know if it's between kings and subjects, between husband and wife, between father and son, or between superiors and subordinates.) )

03 Happy event

The righteousness of hiring a soldier, the way of welcoming, the beginning of the beginning.

The etiquette of hiring a wise man, the way the bridegroom marries the bride, must pay attention to the beginning.

In the ceremony of greeting, the Father stands in the south, and the Son kneels north, and the Father kneels, and the Order: "To greet Erxiang, to become my sect's affair, to honor the heirs of the first concubine, if so, there will be a constant." Zi Yue: "No! I'm afraid I can't, I dare to forget my life!"

The groom's ceremony to welcome the bride: the father stands facing south, the son kneels in front of the north, and the father pours wine and sacrifices to the god while instructing the son: "Go and welcome your Kennaisuke back to complete the great affairs of my family's succession." In the future, you must advocate etiquette, abide by the norms, set a good example, and honor your mother so that she can become your mother's successor. The son said, "Yes!" I'm afraid I can't do it well, but I will certainly not forget your instructions. ”

04 Funerals

Goods and fortunes, public opinion horses, clothes, good gifts, jade shells. 赙贳, so Sasei also, give the pants, so send death also. Sending death is not as good as coffin corpses, hanging is not as sad as mourning, and indecent is also. Therefore, the auspicious line is fifty, the funeral is a hundred miles, the gift is given, and the gift is great. Therefore, the auspicious line is fifty, the funeral is a hundred miles, the gift is given, and the gift is great.

When handling funerals, the money donated is called "赙", the gifted carriage and horse are called "赗", the gifted shouyi is called "禭", the gifted plaything is called "gift", and the gift of pearl and jade shells is called "唅". It is used to help the family of the deceased to handle the funeral; the gift is liked by the deceased before he dies, the yu is given to the deceased to accompany the burial, and the 唅 is given to the deceased in the mouth. It is not polite to pay tribute to the deceased's remains when sending them off, and not to mourn the family members without feelings of sorrow.

Relatives and friends have happy events at home, they should rush to participate in fifty miles away, people have funerals, they should rush to participate in hundreds of miles away, and gifts must be delivered during the funeral, which is the big festival of etiquette.

If he is buried, if the friend of the father eats it, he will eat it, and if he does not cut the meat, he will resign if he has liquor.

After the burial of the father or mother, it is acceptable for the monarch or his father's friend to entertain him, and it is not necessary to avoid rice and meat, but if he is drunk, he should resign.

Fifty is not a funeral, seventy is only decaying.

For the funeral of parents, people to fifty, do not need to perform a full set of etiquette, people to seventy, as long as the mourning clothes on the body.
