三年之丧，言而不语，对而不问：庐，垩室之中，不与人坐焉；在垩室之中，非时见乎母也，不入门。疏衰皆居垩室不庐。庐，严者也。

During the three years of mourning (for his father), (a son) might speak, but did not discourse; might reply, but did not ask questions. In the shed or the unplastered apartment he sat (alone), nobody with him. While occupying that apartment, unless there were some occasion for him to appear before his mother, he did not enter the door (of the house). On all occasions of wearing the sackcloth with its edges even, he occupied the unplastered apartment, and not the shed. To occupy the shed was the severest form in mourning.
