On the night of the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhen Youqian went to bed early. His wife Yu Lu[1] asked him: "What time is it now, and you are busy getting on the kang, what's the matter, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong with me, can you cure it?"
"Of course, don't forget, my family is an imperial physician for three generations."
"Your family's imperial doctor is also passed on from male to female, what do you know?"
"I've never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run!"
"Oh, you studied veterinary medicine." You Gan laughed.
"Don't care about the doctor, tell me, what's wrong with it?" As he said, he went to the kang to play with his husband.
"Hey, hey, don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" You Gan said, "I'll do it tomorrow, I want to go to the city to buy some New Year's goods."
"Oh~, then you should go to bed early!" Yu Lu wanted to get off the kang after saying that.

"What is she going to do?"
"Buy some New Year's clothes for Mu Yu and the others."
"Her mother's filial piety period has not yet passed, how can she wear new clothes during the New Year" Yu Lu said, "Did you forget that they have to observe filial piety for three years?"
"I don't know how to keep filial piety for three years[2]! The beginning and end of this year are exactly three years? This year's Spring Festival, his siblings can take off their filial piety."
"You can go and buy them for them." Yu Lu said, "A daughter-in-law who follows her father-in-law in public, you are not afraid of being laughed at by others."
"Who's kidding?" You Gan asked, "Besides, how would they know that Qing Wan is my daughter-in-law?"
Yu Lu turned her face, "Don't you wish that Qingwan is your daughter-in-law!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" You Gan was not happy, "You are so busy and confused! Isn't Qing Wan your own niece?

Is it too much?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't buy it either."
"This is something that you, a mother-in-law, should consider. Why, I have thought about it for you, is it redundant?"
"There's no need for her to choose it herself."
"How can I, an old man, understand such things as buying clothes? If the children don't like the clothes I bought back, wouldn't I have done something bad?"
"The family is so busy, she will go out for another day, and there are so many steamed buns, flower rolls, bean buns" Seeing her husband's face stretched, she immediately said, "Okay, I'll go and tell her." Yu Lu Mumbling out of the bedroom.
[2] Common sayings in "Thirty Like Wolves"
As the saying goes: women,
Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger,
Fifty sitting on the ground can absorb soil.
After going for a while, Yu Lu came back.
She said: "I told Qingwan, get up when you are ugly, go early and come back early! Don't go out for a while, you will procrastinate all day." After that, she also took off her clothes and got on the kang.
Friends Gan asked: "Why are you so busy on the kang?"
"Sleep!"
"You don't get up early tomorrow, how do you sleep?"
Yu Lu seemed to think of something again, and said, "Hey, that big man, did you tell him? Do you need me to tell him to get up early tomorrow."
"He won't go tomorrow, I'll drive the car so that I can dump some New Year's goods out of the car."
"Daughter-in-law won't go, why don't you put more things?"
"You, it's just a mouthful!" Yougan turned around and fell asleep.
Yu Lu broke him off and said, "Hey, you haven't 'touched' me for so many years! Come on, touch me!"
"Moving what?"
"Have a baby!"
the?Speak out and feel at ease. Confucius was also very helpless to this student, he could only say, just do it with peace of mind.
After Zai Wo left, Confucius had a passage explaining the reason for the three-year mourning period, "The child is born for three years, and then he is free from the arms of his parents." It means that children can only leave the arms of their parents after three years of birth. This is the general rule in the world. Therefore, mourning for three years, on the one hand, is a deep memory of my parents, and on the other hand, it is also a gratitude for the three years of embrace.
Because of this, Confucius lamented that his disciple Zai Wo was not benevolent. Later, Zai Wo followed Qi State doctor Tian Chang to make chaos and was exterminated. Confucius often felt ashamed.
So, three years of filial piety, is it really three years (36 months)?
The three-year mourning period does not refer to the third anniversary. It is generally considered to be 25 months, that is, the time period from two years to three years after the mourning period; some people think that the mourning period is 27 months, that is, two years and one quarter.
Whether it is 25 months or 27 months, the original intention is to appreciate the kindness of parents, but this is not suitable for the modern situation. What if the parents die and the child does not work for two years?
During the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor's illness and death were too frequent. If the new emperor kept his filial piety for two or three years, the imperial power must be lost if he did not go to court for such a long time. So the three-year filial piety period was reduced to 27 days; if the minister's parents died In order to go home "Ding You", he also changed "Shouxiao for three years" to "First and last three years".
For example, the three years of filial piety after the death of the old man is counted from the year of the old man's death: for example, the mourning begins in May of this year, and then after twelve months of the second year, it takes off at this time in January of the third year. Mourning clothes, this is called "three years of filial piety".
In ancient times, when the father and mother passed away, they had to abide by the Confucian etiquette system during the period of wearing filial piety, which is called "keeping the system", and the common saying is "keeping filial piety". A note of blue paper (or white paper, or beige paper) was pasted on the "Tanghao" on the door frame of his house, and the words "Shouzhi" were written on it. During the observance period, filial sons must abide by the following rituals:
1. During the imperial examination era, one was not allowed to take the exam.
2. No marriage is concluded, and the husband and wife live separately and do not share the same room.
3. Do not hold celebrations, such as birthday celebrations, full moon or hundred days for children, etc.
4. Do not greet relatives, friends, and colleagues during the New Year, and paste a note "No return" at the door. During the Chinese New Year, the Han people put blue lantern paper hanging signs on the lintels, pasted blue couplets, and wrote words of mourning and filial piety, such as "I have not fulfilled my filial piety for three years, and I always have a heart." Those who have a heart will paste blue paper and write "Thinking about Qi and thinking about governance, foolish loyalty and foolish filial piety" to replace the couplets such as "Loyalty passed on to the family, poetry and books are passed on to the next generation".
