Ancient Comments on the Judgment

— Confucius

Household: the woman occupies the correct position within, the man occupies the correct position without; male and female being correct is the great righteousness of Heaven and Earth. The household has a strict governor; this refers to the parents. Father as father, son as son, elder brother as elder brother, younger brother as younger brother, husband as husband, wife as wife, and then the way of the household is correct; correct the household, and all under heaven becomes settled.
