As an object or attribute, it refers to the etiquette of bereavement. In the book of rites, asking for mourning: "when Cheng Kuang returned home, he didn't dare to enter the office. He lived in the house and mourned for his relatives outside. When he was sleeping on the bed, he mourned for his relatives on the earth." Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty wrote in the petition of Yuan Gong of jiehuan: "in the next year, he was granted the title of Yuan Ke Li, and so was his donation to the museum. His bedroom was covered with straw and his block was lying, and he disappeared from the government." In Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi's Shi Gong Shen Dao stele said: "the coffin was buried in the road, and the trumpet was raised to heaven. Because she was buried in Mangshan Mountain in the north of Luoyang, the wife of the state of Ji was lying on a pillow, so it was cool for her to be with heaven." In the face of difficulties, he refused to keep the etiquette of mourning. At that time, he still wanted to look for the romance of wuxia on the balcony.
