Even theatrical exhibitions and musical entertainments are provided on the presumption that they are gratified with what pleased them while in the body.

Now as all past generations are to be provided for, the Chinese Pantheon contains myriads of beings to be worshipped.
But think, what a burden it becomes to the poor man who tries conscientiously to do his duty to the departed! Now this ancestral worship leads to the deduction that it is an unfilial thing not to marry and beget sons by whom the line of descendants may be continued.

These created man who should represent them.
