In the past, when the king was a saint, the people also chose barren soil and used it to labor the people, so the king ruled the world. When a man works, he thinks; when he thinks, he is kind; when he is free, he is lewd; when he is lewd, he forgets good; when he forgets good, he is disgusted. The people who are rich in soil are not material, they are free; the people who are poor in soil are righteous, they are laborious. Therefore, the emperor chose the sun to learn the local morality with Sangong and Jiuqing ancestors; he took the examination of politics in the middle of the day and took charge of the political affairs with Baiguan, who taught Yin Weilu, Mu and Xiang xuanxu in civil affairs; he chose the moon to rectify the heaven's punishment with Dashi and Sizai; he joined jiuyu in prison on the day to make Jiefeng and Jiaozhi prosperous, and then he was safe. In order to cultivate the emperor's career, the princes examined his state duties in the daytime, reviewed his punishment in the evening, and watched all kinds of work in the night, so that he could not commit adultery, and then he was safe. The Qing Dynasty officials examined their duties, talked about their common affairs in the daytime, ordered their business in the evening, and took care of their family affairs in the night. In the imperial court, when the scholar received the work, he talked about it in the daytime, learned to recover in the evening, and had no regrets in the night. Since the common people below, clear and move, obscure and rest, no day to lazy. The queen weaves Xuanzhou, the wife of the Duke and the wife of the prince, and the wife of the Qing is the leader. She orders her wife to be a sacrificial robe, and the wife of the Lieshi takes court robes. She dresses her husband below the common people. In ancient times, it was also a system in which men and women made contributions to society, while men and women made contributions to society. A gentleman works hard, a villain works hard. It's the precept of the first king. From the top down, who dares to give up? Now I'm a widow, and I'm in the next position. I'm afraid I'll forget my ancestors' work. How can laziness be avoided! I hope to cultivate myself day and night, saying, "there will be no abandonment of our ancestors." Today, I say, "Hu is uneasy." So he is the official of Chengjun, and I'm afraid of mubo's death. " Hearing this, Zhong Ni said, "disciple Zhi Zhi, Ji's wife is not lewd."
