13 檀弓上:
夏后氏尚黑;大事敛用昏,戎事乘骊,牲用玄。殷人尚白;大事敛用日中,戎事乘翰,牲用白。周人尚赤;大事敛用日出,戎事乘騵,牲用騂。
Tan Gong I:
Under the sovereigns of Xia they preferred what was black. On great occasions (of mourning), for preparing the body and putting it into the coffin, they used the dusk; for the business of war, they used black horses in their chariots; and the victims which they used were black. Under the Yin dynasty they preferred what was white. On occasions of mourning, for coffining the body, they used the midday; for the business of war they used white horses; and their victims were white. Under the Zhou dynasty they preferred what was red. On occasions of mourning, they coffined the body at sunrise; for the business of war they used red horses, with black manes and tails; and their victims were red.
