天子When the son of Heaven died,
three days afterwards, the officers of prayer were the first to assume mourning.
In five days the heads of official departments did so;
in seven days both males and females throughout the royal domain;
天下 and in three months all in the kingdom.
The foresters examined the trees about the various altars,
and cut down those which they thought suitable for the coffins and shell,
If these did not come up to what was required,
the sacrifices were abolished,
and the men had their throats cut.
