It is because of joy that the world is at peace with it, and anger and violence are afraid of it. Before Wang Zhidao, rites and music flourished, but Mozi did not. Therefore, Mozi is still white and black to Tao, still turbid, and still belongs to Chu and North.

Le Ye Yao takes risks, so people will flow contemptuously. The flow is chaotic, and the base is contending. Chaos makes the soldiers weak and the enemy dangerous. If so, it is not enough for people to be uneasy and unhappy in their hometown. Therefore, those who abandon rites and music and start evil voices are also in danger of humiliation. Therefore, Wang Gui's rites and music are the first.
