These things are the most important in the Zizhi Tongjian

Emperor Jincheng succeeded to the throne as a young man, and the imperial government was entrusted to Wang Dao by the former emperor. Therefore, Tianzi condescended and had to go to the palace to meet Wang Dao and his wife Cao Shi.

Alas, the relationship between the dignity and inferiority between the monarchs and subjects in the Wei and Jin dynasties had decayed to such an extent!

Shi Le once attacked: "Cao Cao and Sima Yi used flattery as a means to confuse people and take the world. "That's really right.

The ancient rituals that we can still see today, such as the "Yan Shooting Ceremony", when performing the Yan Shooting Ceremony, the monarch will often pay homage to the person who performs the ritual, but this is only relative to the princes and doctors. Princes may not be equated with the Son of Heaven to princes; just as doctors are to their courtiers, they must not be equated with princes to doctors.

The difference in rank is the order of heaven. The Heavenly Son's etiquette for the princes, in ancient texts on "rites", there is no record, the only remaining is the "Rites of Rites. The "Ritual ceremony" records an example of Hou Shi taking off his upper body clothes to prostrate himself and the Son of Heaven did not return the salute, which shows that the name is particularly strict.

If the Son of Heaven does not want to arrogantly and arrogantly subordinate his subordinates, he can only stand quietly and do not sit, and when he performs the bow salute to the princes of the same surname, he can be slightly higher; when he performs the bow to the princes of the same surname who are related to him, he is flat; and when he performs the bow to the princes of the same surname except for the five clothes, he is slightly lower.

It is not allowed to move around during the ceremony, which is the excessive arrogance of the monarchs in the Xia and Shang Dynasties to treat their subjects with courtesy, which is different from the excessive arrogance of the emperors in the Qin Dynasty. Where is the reason for condescending to go to someone else's mansion to meet the wives of his subordinates and subordinates as his own exclusive dignity?! This is not the son of heaven, but a visit of last resort!

Etiquette, there are certain standards, "over" or "not enough" is not enough. When it is over-suppressed, it will overcorrect and develop in the opposite direction. When the Jurchens and Mongols entered the Central Plains, foreign monarchs flogged and shackled their ministers at every turn, scolding and cursing like slaves and captives, so in the edict issued by the emperor, there were such evil words as "people are hateful", and cruel administrative punishments such as court staffs and locks were popular in the imperial court halls. How can the harm not be fierce when the discipline that maintains the relationship between the father and the son of the monarch and the subject is broken, and the relationship between the people in the world is destroyed, reacting to each other and stimulating each other?

After the Xia And Shang Dynasties, if there is a relationship between kings and subjects that must be emulated, in addition to the courtesy of the Zhao surname Song Dynasty, which family will there be?
