父母之丧，居倚庐、不涂，寝苫枕块，非丧事不言。君为庐宫之，大夫士袒之。既葬柱楣，涂庐不于显者。君、大夫、士皆宫之。凡非适子者，自未葬以于隐者为庐。

At the mourning rites for a parent, (the son) occupied the slanting shed, unplastered; slept on straw, with a clod of earth for his pillow. He spoke of nothing but what related to the rites. A ruler enclosed this hut; but Great and common officers left it exposed. After the burial, the inclined posts were set up on lintels, and the hut was plastered, but not on the outside which could be seen. Rulers, Great and common officers, all had it enclosed. All the other sons, but the eldest by the proper wife, even before the burial had huts made for themselves in out-of-the-way places.
