One Sabbath evening I heard his voice in prayer, much earlier than usual, and therefore it attracted particular attention. Presently word came to me that Khi was ill. I went down to see him. It made my heart bleed to see a fellow-creature in such destitution, one, moreover, who I hoped was a brother in Christ Jesus. I had had no idea that his destitution was so great.
Than-fu Made for them kiln-like huts and caves, Ere they had yet any houses . The ancient duke Than-fu Came in the morning, galloping his horses, Along the banks of the western rivers, To the foot of mount Khi ; And there he and the lady Kiang Came and together looked out for a site. The responses were there to stay and then; And they proceeded there to build .
King Thai was the grandfather of king Wan, and, before he received that title, was known as 'the ancient duke Than-fu. In B.C. 1327, he moved with his followers from Pin, an earlier seat of his House, and settled in the plain of Khi, about fifty li to the north-east of the present district city of Khi-shan, in Shen-hsi. May their descendants ever preserve it!
The Fourth Decade, or that of Khi fu. Level and smooth is the courtyard, And lofty are the pillars around it. Pleasant is the exposure of the chamber to the light, And deep and wide are its recesses. Here will our noble lord repose. On the rush-mat below and that of fine bamboos above it, May he repose in slumber! The chief diviner will divine them.
Was like an eagle on the wing, Assisting king Wu, Who at one onset smote the great Shang. 'The ancient duke Than-fu' was the grandfather of king Wan, and was canonized by the duke of Kau as 'king Thai. As mentioned in a note on p. 316, he was the first of his family to settle in Kau, removing there from Pin. the site of their earlier settlement, 'the country about the Khue and the Khi.
Kwang Kiang was a daughter of the house of Khi, about the middle of the eighth century B.C., and was married to the marquis Yang, known in history as 'duke Kwang, of Wei. She was a lady of admirable character, and beautiful; but her husband proved faithless and unkind.
However the combination arose, Hau-ki became historically the name of Khi of the time of Yao and Shun, the ancestor to whom the kings of Kau traced their lineage. He was to the people the Father of Husbandry, who first taught men to plough and sow and reap.
