Commentary

Heaven and earth stand apart as one dons white mourning garments. Calamity and blame arrive together, and grief is so heavy that one dares not even smile. From Standstill to The Wanderer, Pi's stagnation transforms into fire on the mountain — Lu's image of the traveler who moves through the world lightly, without permanent shelter. The white mourning cloth is the traveler's heaviest burden: carrying grief through unfamiliar terrain. Lu counsels using punishments with clarity and caution, 'not prolonging imprisonment.' But the verse shows the wanderer who cannot move forward because mourning itself is the prison. The body travels; the spirit is locked in white silk. Pi's immobility has migrated inward — the road is open but the heart cannot walk it.
