and pay respect to the elder. If you are riding in a carriage, [16] you should stop, get out of the carriage, and ask if you can give him a ride.
If you meet an elder passing by, you should stand aside and wait respectfully; do not leave until you can no longer see him.
(11)When an elder is standing, do not sit. After an elder sits down, sit only when you are told. Before an elder, speak softly. If your voice is
too low and hard to hear, it is not appropriate. When meeting an elder, walk briskly towards him; when leaving, do not exit in haste.
When answering a question, look at the person who is asking you the question.
(12)Serve your uncles as if you are serving your parents; [17]Treat your cousins as if they are your own siblings. [18]
Chapter 3: Be Cautious in Your Daily Life
(13)Get up in the morning before your parents; at night, go to bed only after they have gone to sleep. When you realize that time is passing
you by and cannot be turned back, and that you are getting older year by year, you will especially treasure the present moment. [19]
Wash your face when you get up in the morning, and brush your teeth. After using the toilet, always wash your hands.
(14)You must wear your hat straight, [20] and make sure the hooks [21] of your clothes are tied. Make sure socks and shoes are neatly and
correctly worn. Place your hat and clothes away in their proper places. Do not carelessly throw your clothes around, for that will get them dirty.
(15)It is more important that your clothes are clean, rather than how extravagant they are. When with an elder or people of importance, wear
what is suitable for your station. At home, wear clothes according to your family traditions and customs. When it comes to eating and
drinking, do not pick and choose your food. Eat only the right amount; do not over eat. You are still too young, do not drink alcohol.
