Ceremonies come after.
Tsze-hsia asked a question to Confucius about a verse of poetry. What did the writer mean when he said the plain background that the colours were put on to make the beautiful image?
Confucius said that the plain background was what came first and the colours are added afterwards. In any beautiful picture, it must start with a plain piece of paper as its background before it can be drawn.
The poetry was interpreted to be referring to more than just about art but about human life and society. It meant that before anyone could have something beautiful, the life had to be plain and without spot on the inside.
Tsze-hsia, inferring this meaning, then asked whether that meant that ceremonies, like religious ceremonies were something that came afterwards. Confucius then said that Tsze-hisa (who is also called Bu Shang) understood his meaning correctly.

Love Your Enemies.
Confucius' words here are saying that a proper man, even if he has struggles or fights with others, remains courteous and kind towards him. Like if he is in an archery competition, he will still bow to his competitor and drink with him afterwards. Even should he have enemies or competitors, he will not forget to treat them with love and respect.
The painting is Diego Velázquez's depiction of the surrender of Breda in the thirty years war. The Spanish Catholics besieged the Dutch Protestant city of Breda in the Netherlands and the city surrendered to the Spanish. The Italian general that led the Spanish troops, Ambrogio Spinola, forbade his troops to even jeer at the defenders after their victory. He saluted and embraced the surrendering Dutch commander, and praised the courage of the defenders. Even as people slaughtered each other in religious warfare over their mutual animosities, the miracle of reconciliation could still triumph for those who had not forgotten God. …More

The wise man looks to his elders and forefathers to learn. The ancestor of all the ancestors of human beings is God.
The wise student listens to his teacher. The teacher of all human teachers is God.
The good citizen obeys the law. The authority behind all human law is God and His law.
Behind every power and wisdom, God is the source. It is to this root that the good man must direct his attention, and it is from this root that all goodness and Truth come forth.
