It does not appear on occasion of what sacrifice this piece was made. The most probable view is that of Mao, that it was the That is, Thang. If this ode were used, as Mang supposes, in the third year after Wu-ting's death, this descendant' would be his son Zu-kang, B.C. 1265 to 1259.
And the jewellers gave a little dinner to Thang at the Hotel Great Magnificent; the windows had not been opened for five years and there was wine at a guinea a bottle that you could not tell from champagne and cigars at half a crown with a Havana label. Altogether it was a splendid evening for Thang. But I have to tell of a far sadder thing than a dinner at a hotel.
Neepy Thang had come by this information, which was indeed the truth, that if the bird migrated to Fairyland before the three eggs hatched out they would undoubtedly all turn into emeralds, while if they hatched out first it would be a bad business. When he had mentioned these eggs to Messrs.
Hence the composition of the piece has been referred to the time of Ti-yi, the last but one of the kings of Shang. We do not know anything of this time of decadence in the fortunes of Shang between Hsieh and Thang. King, or Khu, or King-Khu, as the two names are combined here, was a large and powerful half-savage state, having its capital in the present Wu-pei.
While living we may have to occupy different apartments; But, when dead, we shall share the same grave. If you say that I am not sincere, By the bright sun I swear that I am . THE odes of Thang were really the odes of Zin, the greatest of the fiefs of Kau until the rise of Khin.
The shrines of these three sovereigns and that of Thang retained their places in the ancestral temple ever after they were first set up and if all the sacrificial odes of the dynasty had been preserved, most of them would have been in praise of one or other of the four.
Her face was towards those three inscrutable mountains, far-off on the other side of the risky seas, whose hidden valleys are Fairyland. Though not yet autumn in the fields we know, it was close on midwinter here, the moment as Thang knew when those eggs hatch out. Had he miscalculated and arrived a minute too late?
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'th extr'ornar gude thaft as the thang o' a mavis on a nicht at e'en, and fiery as a Highland charge." It was not in character for the Deacon to say such a thing, but whisky makes the meanest of Scots poetical. He elevates the manner to the matter, and attains the perfect style.
The old fellow advanced, and under direction of the great high priest poured some of the contents of the bottle on the powder indicated to him, and it remained white. "Thang Gord!" he exclaimed with a fervency which left no doubt of his sincerity, and hastened away. Two or three others followed with a similar result.
