Book of Rites
Notes
Confucius said. A gentleman never falls short of others. Don't lose sight of others. Don't fail to speak to others. That’s why a gentleman’s appearance is enough to be intimidating. The color is enough to scare. Believe what you say. Fu Xing said. Be respectful but have no choice but to bow.
Zheng Xuan noted the cloud. Losing it means losing its tolerance and restraint. Tamamo said. Sufficient weight. Se Rongzhuang. The mouth stops.
The notes say that those who are serious enough should act with caution and not act rashly. The color of the clouds is a sign of respect. It is said that those who have a quiet mouth are taciturn.
Human beings are emotional animals, and for some reasons, they often do things that make people regretful. "One mistake will lead to eternal regrets, and you will be a hundred years old when you look back." A hundred years of shame is the next life. It's over, there is no hope in this life.
Every mistake has a heavy price to pay. The bigger the mistake, the more costly it is. If you do something wrong and have an uneasy conscience, others will suffer, and you will suffer even more.
Ming Dynasty Yang Yi's "Ming Liang Ji": "After Tang Jie Yuanyin was abandoned, the poem said:
'One mistake will make an eternal smile, and if you look back, you will be a hundred years old.'"
"Flower Moon Traces" by Wei Zian in the Qing Dynasty:
"One mistake will lead to eternal hatred, and it will be a hundred years before you look back.
