1、 The throne is a social system, but Wanli is a flesh and blood individual. Upon ascending to the throne, all of his words and actions must conform to moral standards, but the interpretation of moral standards belongs to civil servants.
2、 Wanli was not allowed to exist in Yin beyond Yang like his courtiers. His restraint is infinite, and any expression of personality may be accused of exceeding moral standards.
3、 After the death of Empress Dowager Cixing, the mother of Wanli, the Ministry of Rites immediately established a solemn mourning ceremony, announcing a nationwide mourning period of 27 days, with all subjects in mourning and white cloth wrapped around their hats.
4、 All officials in the capital must wear hemp and mourning clothes, and are not allowed to wear court boots instead of grass shoes. They must also remove the wings of their hats and replace them with two white cloths hanging down to their shoulders.
5、 The bells of temples of all sizes ring 30000 times, day and night without stopping. Within three days, officials with a rank of four or above and their wives were sent in groups to the Cining Palace to perform ceremonial cries. The cries were performed fifteen times, and all personnel coordinated their movements, crying every time they cried and stopping every time they stopped, like a symphony.
