雜記上 - Za Ji I

English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
[Also known as: "Miscellaneous records I"]

1 雜記上:
諸侯行而死於館,則其復如於其國。如於道,則升其乘車之左轂,以其綏復。其輤有裧,緇布裳帷素錦以為屋而行。至於廟門,不毀墻遂入適所殯,唯輤為說於廟門外。
Za Ji I:
When a feudal lord was on the march and died in his lodging, they called back his soul in the same way as in his state. If he died on the road, (one) got up on the nave of the left wheel of the chariot in which he had been riding, and called it, waving the pennon of his flag. (For the carriage with the bier) there was a pall, and attached to it a fringe made of black cloth, like a lower garment, serving as a curtain (to the temporary coffin), and the whole was made into a sort of house by a covering of white brocade. With this they travelled (back to his state), and on arriving at the gate of the temple, without removing the (curtain) wall, they entered and went straight to the place where the coffining was to take place. The pall was removed at the outside of the door.
