Comedy "Eight Panels

Flat-haired Beast (Bird) In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was an old Mr. Gongye Chang, a disciple of Confucius, who could understand the sound of a hundred birds. One day, he had nothing to do and sat alone in the pavilion. He saw a big goose fall by the pool, and a small swallow fall on the green pine. The little swallow said to the goose, "Brother, you are free, what are you doing here?" The geese just focus on the poolside drinking water, and ignored. The little swallow said angrily: "People talk about propriety and righteousness first, the tree talks about branches and leaves as the source, I take the good words to you, why do you ignore, is it not demented, deaf and dumb?" The geese said: "Tree high cicadas sound fine, mountain high voice low, deep water flow far, your words late." Swallow said: "What is your honor? I think you were born in the wilderness, long in the side of the grass. Day swim in the wilderness, night sleep on the beach. Item long beak flat, foot big body wide, goose and duck do not look like, not against it!" The goose said, "Oh! Then, you have what is expensive?" Swallow said: "I think I, born in a high-rise building, long in the phoenix pavilion dragon platform. I was born in a high-rise building, grew up in the Phoenix Court and Dragon Terrace. I was idle to watch zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, bored with a talented woman for company. Day swim flowers and willow alleys, night sleeps yarn na pavilion." The geese said: "So, you can know the three principles and five rules?" Xiao Yan said: "Uh ...... do not know, would like to hear about it." The wild goose said: "The king is the subject program, the father is the son program, the husband is the wife program, this is the three programs. The five constants, is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith. See all the insects do not eat for benevolence, see food does not fight for righteousness, before and after the flight row for the courtesy, not to be tackled for wisdom, spring to fall for the letter. When a father dies, the mother doesn't marry; when a mother dies, the father doesn't marry; when both parents die, the parents observe filial piety for three years. Unlike you, it is not kind to eat all the worms, it is not righteous to fight for food, it is not courteous to scurry back and forth, it is not wise to be captured, and it is not faithful to come and go at any time. Father died mother married, mother died father married, both parents died, calling friends and hooking party, chaotic love lost group, really is the animal also." Swallow heard, screamed three times, fell into the tree and died. The geese head and wings, take off in the air. Mr. Gongye Chang was inspired by his feelings and wrote a poem: "Swallows and geese are talking noisily by the pond, each fighting for propriety and righteousness to identify the fools and sages. The size of the birds are all flying, the fools are foolish to the wise. Birds still know the etiquette and righteousness, for people can not filial piety first." It seems that people are not as good as a bird!
