《容斋随笔·卷九·古人无忌讳》
身为公卿的人的寝殿阶下，允许外人进来哭悼甚至安葬；自己所住的居室内，能让门下学生哭悼他的父亲；朋友有丧事的时候，能在内室门外接受哭悼；现在的人一定不会象这样圣明的贤人所作所为，当然是全都符合礼数，连季孙宿也能这样，用古代来跟当今相比，相差何止千千万万。
夫以国卿之寝阶，许外人入哭而葬；已所居室，而令门弟子哭其亲；朋友之丧，而受哭于寝门之外；今人必不然者也。圣贤所行，固为尽礼，季孙宿亦能如是。以古方今，相去何直千万也。
As a minister, he allows outsiders to come in and mourn or even bury under the steps of his bedchamber. He allows his students to mourn for his father in his own room. When his friend passes away, he receives mourners outside the door of the inner chamber. People nowadays definitely will not do what the sage did, and of course, everything he did was in accordance with the rituals. Even Ji Sun Su could do that. Comparing the ancient with the present, the difference is far beyond thousands or millions.
