To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor, unless announcement thereof has been previously made » (and permission granted), can any one bring in inscribed boards » (that is to say, lists of articles presented for a funeral), mourn- » ing coats either of the first or second degree, nor any funereal » implements" '. Elsewhere still in the Li hi we read (chapter 12, 1. 5): »Ki Wu- » tsze (the grandee mentioned on page 262) was lying ill in his » room, when Kiao Ku entered it to see him, without putting off » the mourning with even edg...es which he was wearing. 'This line » of conduct followed by me', said the visitor, 'is the right one, » although it has almost fallen into disuse. It is only at the gate » of his Ruler that an officer takes off his mourning with even » edges" *. These words show that in Confucius' time it had become quite a rule for people in mourning also to avoid entering other mansions than those of the Chief of the State. 2 We read in the seventieth chapter of the Li ki (1. 29): » Immediately » after his parent's death, a child tucks up the skirts of his dress and inserts them »in his girdle" ^ $R ^ '^ _t ^ (section 5^ ^).
