Back Forward
Confucianism -> Liji -> Qu Li I -> 55

When his father or mother is ill,
(a young man) who has been capped should not use his comb,
nor walk with his elbows stuck out,
nor speak on idle topics,
nor take his lute or cithern in hand.
He should not eat of (different) meats till his taste is changed,
nor drink till his looks are changed'.
He should not laugh so as to show his teeth,
nor be angry till he breaks forth in reviling.
When the illness is gone, he may resume his former habits.
