Back Forward
Confucianism -> Liji -> Tan Gong II -> 143

Baring the shoulders and binding up the hair (with the band of sackcloth)
are changes,
(showing) the excited feeling
which is a change in the grief.
The removal of the (usual) ornaments and elegancies (of dress)
has manifold expression,
but this baring of the shoulders and the sackcloth band
are the chief.
But now the shoulders are quite bared, and anon they are covered (with a thin garment)
- marking gradations in the grief.
