Lacharme denominated them correctly 'Parentales Cantus. In the Preface to the Shih, to which I have made reference above, it is said, 'The Sung are pieces in admiration of the embodied manifestation of complete virtue, announcing to the spiritual Intelligences their achievement thereof. Ku Hsi's account of the Sung was 'Songs for the Music of the Ancestral Temple; and that of Kiang Yung of the present dynasty 'Songs for the Music at Sacrifices. I have united these two definitions, and call the Part 'Odes of the Temple and the Altar. There 'is a difference between the pieces of Lu and the other two collections in this Part, to which I will call attention in giving the translation of them.
His footmen are thirty thousand, With shells on vermilion strings adorning their helmets . So numerous are his ardent followers, To deal with the tribes of the west and north, And to punish those of King and Shu , So that none of them will dare to withstand us. Referring, probably, to the three principal ministers of the state. These lines describe Hsi's resources for war.
Admiral Ting was much alarmed at hearing that a Japanese destroyer had been detected prowling about in the offing, but did not express any surprise when Frobisher mentioned his suspicions about the Prince. Indeed, he admitted that, although he had nothing definite to go upon, he had for some time past been extremely doubtful as to Hsi's loyalty to his country.
But he gathered that the admiral considered Prince Hsi's reasons as quite inadequate, and concluded by informing the Prince, without any circumlocution, that he, as admiral, was quite as capable as her captain of judging whether the ship was fit for sea or not, that as in his opinion she was perfectly ready, to sea she should go, and the rest of the squadron with her, as he had already decided.
In the field of commentary this school of thought was given perfect expression by Chu Hsi, who also wrote one of the chief historical works. Chu Hsi's commentaries became standard works for centuries, until the beginning of the twentieth century. Yet, although Chu became the symbol of conservatism, he was quite interested in science, and in this field he had an open eye for changes.
Happily for K`ang Hsi's complacency, the book of fate is hidden from Emperors, as well as from subjects, All but the page prescribed, their present state and he was unable to foresee another visit paid to that mausoleum two hundred and seven years later, under very different conditions, to which we shall come in due course. The census has always been an important institution in China.
He did not ask his fellow-countrymen to discard any part of what they had long held in high esteem: he raised the old theories from the sphere of science to that of philosophy by unifying them and bringing them to a focus. Chu Hsi's Monistic Philosophy It is unnecessary to follow this philosophy along all the different branches which grew out of it, for we are here concerned only with the seed.
