The Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, and Duke of Zhou all had small tombs and simple coffins. Their worthy ministers and filial sons also obeyed orders and followed the wishes and practiced modest burial, which is the most loyal and filial practice to keep the monarch and father safe.
