T‘an Kung, Gems of Chinese Literature — On Mourning (1922)
“ A man who is pleased will show it in his face. He will sing. He will get excited. He will dance. So, too, a man who is vexed will look sad. He will sigh. He will beat his breast. He will jump about. The due regulation of these emotions is the function of a set ceremonial.“Further. A man dies and becomes an object of loathing. ”
