Splendid look the new temples, The work of Hsi-sze, Very wide and large, Answering to the expectations of all the people. Kang was a city with some adjacent territory, in the present district of Thang, that had been taken from Lu by Khi. The poet desires that Hsi should recover these and all other territory which had at any time belonged to Lu.
He is mentioned in the third stanza as 'the son of duke Kwang, and the Hsi-sze referred to in the last stanza as the architect under whose superintendence the temples had been repaired was his brother, whom we meet with elsewhere as 'duke's son, Yue'. The descriptions of various sacrifices prove that the lords of Lu, whether permitted to use royal ceremonies or not, did really do so.
