《礼记·丧大记》
办国君的丧事，由虞人提供烧火的木柴和舀水的勺子，狄人提供壶漏，雍人提供烧水的鼎，司马亲临视察壶漏的安置，然后安排官员轮流值班代哭。办大夫的丧事，只安排官员代哭，不设置壶漏。办士的丧事，由其亲属代哭，不得用官员代哭。
君丧，虞人出木角，狄人出壶，雍人出鼎，司马县之，乃官代哭，大夫官代哭不县壶，士代哭不以官。
During the mourning rites for the sovereign, the royal gamekeepers provide the firewood and dippers, the royal archers provide the urns, the royal servants provide the cauldrons, the minister of war inspects the arrangement of the urns, and then arranges for officials to take turns on duty to wail. During the mourning rites for a noble scholar, officials merely wail, but no urns are set up. During the mourning rites for a scholar, their relatives wail, and officials may not wail.
