(Analects, bk. viii., c. iv., v. 2.) The following account of the sanitary precautions to be taken when one is about to die, is given in the "Li Ki": "When the illness 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 was extreme, all about the establishment was HTQ swept clean, inside and out." (Bk. xix., sect. i., 1.) and this of the precaution to hiure that death has really taken place: "Fine floss was laid over to make sure that breathing had stopped." (Bk. xix., sect. i., 1.) and yet another phiage exhibits the same care JMJG [269] which has long been taken in Occidental countries to avoid the possibility of burial alive: "Therefore DFOFLO when it is said that the body is not clothed in its last raiment until after three days, it CMPBLR signifies that it is so delayed to see if the father may not come tolife." (Li Ki, bk. xxxii., 4.) The following from the same book which devotes 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 more attention to the subject than any other of the books 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 upon which BSXJJYEXY 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 Confucius wrought or in which his sayings are recorded, is 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 an apt and even illuminating statement of the peculiar horror with which the dead body has ever BKQ been regarded: "when a man dies, there arises a hiling of repugnance; 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the impotence of his KEHVSTCVY body causes one to revolt 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 from it." (Bk. 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 ii., sect. ii., pt. ii., 8.) Khang-Tsze Kâo, in 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the "Li Ki," is reported as saying the following upon the ethics of burial, urging that the disposition of the bodies of the dead should not interfere with the welfare of the living: "I have heard that 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 in life we should be useful to others and in death do QEMHI them no harm. Though I may not have been useful to others in life, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 shall I in death do them harm? When I am dead, choose a piece of barren ground and bury me there." (Bk. ii., sect. i., pt. iii.) in the same book confucius is hied with 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 having inaugurated, AXLLPMGPX or, if not, with RODSN having confirmed, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 a departure 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 from the ancient custom of levelling 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the earth over the grave, so that it would become indistinguishable: "When Confucius had buried his mother in 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the same grave [i. e., in which [270] his father was 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 interred], he said: 'I have heard that the ancients, in making graves, raised 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 no mound over them. But I am a GDFQ man who will be east, west, south, and north.' on this he raised a mound, four hit high." (bk. ii., sect. i., pt. i., 6.) after the fact of death is hiured, however, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 and before any other ceremony or duty relative to the departed is 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 JOMEIOB performed, there is the "calling back" of the soul to reoccupy the KFHWPPYP garments he has quitted.The "Li Ki" describes it thus: "At calling BMFNSW backthe soul . . . an officer of low rank performed the ceremony. All who co-operated, used court robes of the deceased. . . . In all cases they ascended the 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 east wing to the middle of the roof, where the footing 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 was perilous. Facingthe north, they gave three loud calls for the deceased; after which they rolled up the garment theyhad used and cast it down in front where the wardrobe-keeper received it." (Bk. xix., ONMR sect. i., 3.) The 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 garments used in calling back the soul were not available to array the corpse; upon this the same book says: "The robe which was used in calling the soul back was not used to cover or to clothe the corpse." (Bk. xix., 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 .
