Shang-fu was one of Wu's principal leaders and counsellors, his 'Grand-Master Shang-fu' in the next stanza. As a gourd grows and extends, with a vast development of its tendrils and leaves, so had the House of Kau increased. These were two rivers in the territory of Pin, which name still remains in the small department of Pin Kau, in Shen-hsi.
Along with your 'brethren, Get ready your scaling ladders, And your engines of onfall and assault, To attack the walls of Khung . Khung was a state, in the present district of Hu, department Hsi-an, Shen-hsi. His conquest of Khung was an important event in the history of king Win. He moved his capital to it, advancing so much farther towards the east, nearer to the domain of-Shang.
By Yao or by Shun, Hsieh was invested with the principality of Shang, corresponding to the small department which is so named in Shen-hsi. Fourteenth in descent from him came Thien-Yi, better known as Khang Thang, or Thang the Successful, who dethroned the last descendant of the line of Hsia, and became the founder of a new dynasty.
The favouring appointment was from Heaven, Giving the throne to our kin Wan, In the capital of Kau. The lady-successor was from Hsin, Its eldest daughter, who came to marry him. Heaven is here represented as arranging for the fulfilment of its purposes beforehand. The name of the state was Hsin, and it must have been near the Hsia and the Wei, somewhere in the south-east of the present Shen-hsi.
THE Shu and previous portions of the Shih have made us familiar with Shao, the name of the appanage of Shih, one of the principal ministers at the court of Kau in the first two reigns of the dynasty. The site of the city of Shao was in the present department of Fang-khiang, Shen-hsi.
DUKE Liu, an ancestor of the Kau family, made a settlement, according to its traditions, in B.C. 1797, in Pin, the site of which is pointed out, 90 li to the west of the present district city of San-shui, in Pin Kau, Shen-hsi, where the tribe remained till the movement eastwards of Than-fu, celebrated in the first decade of the Major Odes of the Kingdom, ode 3. THE KHI YUeEH.
They planted extensively the tall red and the white, Which were carried on their shoulders and backs, Home for the sacrifices which he founded . Hau-ki's mother, we have seen, was a princess of Thai, in the present district of Wu-kung, Khien Kau, Shen-hsi. This may have led to his appointment to that principality, and the transference of the lordship from Kiangs to Kis.
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!
Only one line the first of stanza 3 in this interesting piece serves to illustrate the religious practices of the time, and needs no further note than what has been given on the first line of stanza 7 in the preceding ode. The name of the marquisate of Han remains in the district of Han-khang, department of Hsi-an, Shen-hsi, in which also is mount Liang.
