君之丧：三日，子、夫人杖，五日既殡，授大夫世妇杖。子、大夫寝门之外杖，寝门之内辑之；夫人世妇在其次则杖，即位则使人执之。子有王命则去杖，国君之命则辑杖，听卜有事于尸则去杖。大夫于君所则辑杖，于大夫所则杖。At the mourning rites for a ruler, on the third day his son and his wife assumed the staff. On the fifth day, when the corpse was put into the coffin, his daughters who had become the wives of Great officers were allowed to use it. His (eldest) son and Great officers used it outside the door of the apartment (where the coffin was); inside the door they carried it in their hands (but did not use it). The wife and his daughters, the wives of Great officers, used the staff in their rooms; when they went to their places (in the apartment where the coffin was), people were employed to hold it for them. When a message came from the king, (the son presiding) put away his staff; when one came from the ruler of another state, he only held it in his hand. When attending to any consultation of the tortoise-shell about the corpse, he put away his staff. A Great officer, in the place of the ruler, carried his staff in his hand; at another Great officer's, he used it.
