The purpose of the article is obvious, not to expose the collapse of "ceremony", but to tell people through this story that ceremony is more important than life, and Zeng Shen is a model of protecting ceremony with his own body. For today's readers, taking Zeng Shen as an example is extremely pedantic.

But aside from the content of the "ceremony" that Zeng Shen abided by, his spirit of being strict with himself and being able to correct his mistakes is also touching. It is still the famous saying that "a gentleman loves, considerate and tolerant", and the content of "virtue" changes from new to old.

For Ceng Zi, the life change at the end of his life is only the smallest detail in his life, and this detail is the dazzling flash in his last breath.

The creator of The Book of Rites described this detail concisely and vividly. Although there are not many words, the scene of treating the disease is very specific and the modality of the characters is fully displayed. Especially boys are unscrupulous and outspoken; Zeng Shen's resolute attitude and serious heart make people feel immersive.
