Confucius scolded his family: "The eight steps of palace dancing are tolerable, but intolerable!"
Ji, also known as Shi, was a new aristocrat in Lu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. Lu, Meng, He Shu were the three powerful schools of the Qing Dynasty. In particular, the Ji family has been manipulating political power for generations, and the monarch is actually under their control. Lu was defeated by them and fled to Qi. They were also defeated and fled to Weiguo, Zou and Yue. In Lu Daogong, it is almost just the name of a "monarch" (see "disaster is going to ruin")
As for the Ji surname who angered Confucius by "dancing eight styles in court", which generation is Ji surname? There is no explanation in the original text. According to Zuo Zhuan's Twenty-five Years of Zhao Gong and Hanshu Liuxiangchuan, Ji Shi may be the Ji of the time, that is, Ruyi. He not only ignored the monarch, but even compared himself to the son of heaven. As far as the dance bands of the imperial court were concerned, according to the system, there were eight emperors (one line called eight Shu), four doctors of six kings, that is, four Shu for Ji, six Shu for Lu and eight Shu for Zhou emperors. Ji deliberately broke the old rules and insisted on forming a large dance band of 64 people. So when Confucius talked about Ji, he said
"Yes (this) is tolerable, and which (which) is intolerable" means: if this matter can be tolerated, what else can't be tolerated-this is the most intolerable thing! I can't stand it anymore, which means it was invented by later generations. Obviously, there is no need to explain. Please ask questions if you have any questions, and please give five stars if you are satisfied! ~
