zài ㄗㄞˋ (1): 存在，在世。 Exist, be alive.
| 《·》: | 子曰：「父在，觀其志。」 | | The Master said, "While a man's father is alive, look at the bent of his will." | | 《·》: | 父母在，朝夕恒食，子婦佐餕，既食恒餕，父沒母存，冢子御食，群子婦佐餕如初，旨甘柔滑，孺子餕。 | | 'While the parents are both alive, at their regular meals, morning and evening, the (eldest) son and his wife will encourage them to eat everything, and what is left after all, they will themselves eat. When the father is dead, and the mother still alive, the eldest son should wait upon her at her meals; and the wives of the other sons will do with what is left as in the former case. The children should have the sweet, soft', and unctuous things that are left. | | 《·》: | 故父母在，當與時小同，無虧大義，不罹患害而已。 |
