《孟子·梁惠王章句下·第十六节》
是说前面办父亲的丧事用士礼、后面办母亲的丧事用大夫礼？还是说前面设三鼎的供品祭父，后面设五鼎的供品祭母？ 
前以士，后以大夫；前以三鼎，而后以五鼎与？ 
Is it that the funeral for his father followed the Shi ritual and the funeral for his mother followed the Daifu ritual? Or is it that only three tripods of offerings were set up for his father and five for his mother?
