We can hardly say anything about it so definite as the statement in the Preface, that it relates to a council held by Khang and his ministers in the ancestral temple. However I endeavour to reach to them, My continuation of them will still be all-deflected. I am a little child, Unequal to the many difficulties of the state. Let me be reverent! Let me be reverent!
Lu was one of the states in the east, having its capital in Khue-fau, which is still the name of a district in the department of Yen-kau, Shan-tung. According to Ku, king Khang invested the duke of Kau's eldest son with the territory.
The composition of this and the other pieces of this decade is attributed to the duke of Kau, king Wan's son, and was intended by him for the benefit of his nephew, the young king Khang. Wan, it must be borne in mind, was never actually king of China. He laid the foundations of the kingly power, which was established by his son king Wu, and consolidated by the duke of Kau.
King Khang, in B.C. 1107, invested his younger brother, called Shu-yue, with the territory where Yao was supposed to have ruled anciently as the marquis of Thang, in the present department of Thai-yuean, Shan-hsi, the fief retaining that ancient name. Subsequently the name of the state was changed to Zin, from the river Zin in the southern part of it. THE PAO YUe.
It was he through whom came the appointment of Kau. Oh! let us ever cherish the thought of him. In the eighth piece of the first decade we have an ode akin to this, relating a tentative progress of king Wu, to test the acceptance of his sovereignty. This is of a later date, and should be referred, probably, to the reign of king Khang, when the dynasty was fully acknowledged.
There was not a trace of any human being, save that in the only room which remained undestroyed, on the matting of the hard Khang that is the divan which stretches like a platform across three-quarters of every Chinese room lay the dead body of a Chinese coolie. The dog, the cat, and the hens had all gone.
At a fork of the valley several miles above Yeumtong, and below the great glacier of Chango Khang, the ancient moraines are prodigious, much exceeding any I have elsewhere seen, both in extent, in the size of the boulders, and in the height to which the latter are piled on one another.
KING Wan, it has been seen, had for his capital the city of Fang, from which his son, king Wu, moved the seat of government to Hao. In the time of king Khang, a city was built by the duke The Khi was a famous river of Wei. Tun-khiu was a well-known place 'the mound or height of Tun'-south of the Wei. 'Fu-kwan must have been the place where the man lived, according to Ku.
Khang was the honorary title of Sung, the son and successor of king Wu, B.C. 1115 to 1079. Heaven made its determinate appointment, which our two sovereigns received . King Khang did not dare to rest idly in it, But night and day enlarged Meaning mount Khi. its foundations by his deep and silent virtue.
I seem myself to see in it, with Su Kheh and others, a reference to the suspicions which Khang at one time, we know, entertained of the fidelity of the duke of Kau, when he was inclined to believe the rumours spread against him by his other uncles, who joined in rebellion with the son of the last king of Shang. I will have nothing to do with a wasp, To seek for myself its painful sting.
