Chapter 31 Chapter VII posthumous title

The posthumous title is determined according to the "Posthumous Law" formulated for Zhou Gongdan according to legend.This "posthumous posthumous method" is the "posthumous posthumous method solution" in "Yi Zhou Shu".When Zhang Shoujie wrote "Historical Records of Justice" in the Tang Dynasty, he copied it and attached it later, and still used the name in "Yi Zhou Shu".It is now attached to the back of "Historical Records". Since Liu Xi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been six commentators on the Posthumous Posthumous Law.Due to the different manuscripts used by each family, and the mistakes in the copying of the past dynasties, there are discrepancies in the entries, words, and order.Su Xun in the Song Dynasty was ordered by the emperor to re-edit it. "Concise Catalog of Siku Quanshu" says:

Take Liu Xi and other six "Posthumous Posthumous Laws", delete them for textual research, and remove their miscellaneous, one hundred and sixty-eight posthumous posthumous articles and three hundred and eleven articles of posthumous posthumous articles, 23 posthumous posthumous articles of newly revised articles, and 17 articles of newly supplemented posthumous posthumous articles , and there are seven methods and eight categories, which are published in many old texts. This "posthumous posthumous law" is the "constitution" for posthumous titles in the past dynasties.Its content can be roughly summarized into three categories: praise, reprimand, and pity.We give examples of each as follows (according to the attached "Historical Records"):

People can't be called gods Jingmin ruled the law as the emperor Virtue resembles heaven and earth and is said to be the emperor Yang Shan Fu Jian Yue Sheng Respect the guests and honor the saints Shining in all directions 谮〔zen〕 can't complain and say Ming Jingtianweidi said in Chinese Daode Bowen in Japanese Diligent and inquisitive in Japanese be kind to the people Strong and Straightforward The mighty enemy is called Wu Determination of disasters and chaos, said Wu chaos from outside to inside good music negligently called famine not diligent Good sacrifice to ghosts and ghosts

kill the innocent easy to change people say restless no regrets Huwei wants to act ugly Obscure moving sacrifice chaos often said secluded Good Nei Yuan Li said Yang Going to Liyuan, the crowd said Yang Name and Reality Shuangyue Miao Early loneliness, short break, mourning Gongren's short break is called mourning early death in the middle of the year Being worried in the country is called Min Min Mercy The content of the Posthumous Posthumous Law is roughly as above.It doesn't seem complicated, but if it is specific to a certain person, whether it can be appropriate, whether it can achieve "big names for big actions, and small names for small actions" is not easy.
