The yellow bell is eight inches long and seven minutes long.

The length of the yellow bell is one of the measures of eight inches and ten (seven).

Translation:

The emperor made rules, established laws and regulations, and decided the degree and standard of everything. Everything follows the six laws, which are the foundation of everything.

The six methods are particularly important for military equipment, so it is a law that cannot be changed for hundreds of generations to say that "you can know the enemy's quality by looking at his breath, and you can decide his victory or defeat by listening to his voice."

When the king of Wu attacked Zhou, the flute player listened to the sound and divined good or bad luck. From Meng Chun to Ji Dong, there are murderous voices everywhere, and the sound of the army coincides with the sound of gongs. It's natural for things to come naturally. What's so strange about it?

Military affairs is a tool used by saints to crusade against violence, pacify troubled times, remove obstacles and save the crisis. Beasts with teeth and horns still resist foreign objects, let alone people with likes and dislikes and emotions. It is an inevitable truth of human nature that joy breeds love and anger increases poison.

In the past, the Yellow Emperor fought in Zhuolu area to pacify the disasters caused by Emperor Yan. In order to pacify the disaster caused by the family, Zhuan Xu confronted the Gong family. Tang Cheng fought a battle to cut Jie's South Nest and wiped out the disaster in Xia Dynasty. Generation after generation, overlapping prosperity and overlapping waste, victory can rule the world, that is the reason for being ordered by God.

Since then, celebrities have overlapped. Jin appointed the culprit, Qi appointed Wang Zicheng's father, and Wu appointed Sun Wu. They all declare military discipline, and rewards and punishments must be kept in good faith. As a result, they became the overlord of the princes and annexed the land of other countries. Although it is not as distinguished as it was in the three generations, it is also distinguished by itself, and the monarch is distinguished and famous all over the world. Can you say that they are not respected?

How can it be compared with those Confucian scholars who don't know the general trend, don't care about the weight, ask morality all day and shouldn't use troops? As a result, it was seriously humiliated by relatives, the land was lost, the lighter was violated, the country was weakened, and finally it was irreparable!

Therefore, there must be no admonition and flogging in the family, no punishment in the country and no punishment and conquest in the world. However, it is skillful and clumsy to use, and it is only good and bad to implement.
