In the Yongping period, beneath the earth under the Zhuli community altar north of Gebei city, a bronze cauldron was found with the inscription, ‘Tomb of King Wu of Chu.’ Local tradition says that in the times of Qin, Xiang, and the Red Eyebrows, whenever people tried to open the tomb, it collapsed and filled in on them, so it could not be opened.”

61
西
Xiayi: in Duke Ai 7 of the Zuo Tradition, Shuqiu was built; Du Yu places Shuqiu Pavilion southwest of the county.
62
Suiyang: the Beizheng ji says, “The city measured thirty-seven li around. It faced the Hui River on the south and had twenty-four gates in all.” The Didao ji says, “King Xiao of Liang built a twelve-li city. Small drums marked the rhythm, and the pestles fell in time with them; this was called the Suiyang tune.” The site was originally Ebo’s ruins in the state of Song. Lumen Pavilion was there. In Duke Huan 14 of the Zuo Tradition, Song attacked Zheng and “took the rafters of the great temple and used them as the rafters of Lu Gate.” In Duke Zhao 21, Wu was defeated at Hongkou; Du Yu places Hongkou Pavilion southeast of the county. The Didao ji says, “In Duke Zhao 21, ‘they resisted them at Heng’; Heng Pavilion lay south of the county.” Yu Gate—the Qi breach—is noted. Yangliang settlement is recorded.

〖Feng〗 Westward stretches the great marsh where Gaozu cut down the white serpent. The deed occurred at Fenyu Pavilion. The note says that the Former Treatise annotation places Fenyu altar fifteen li northeast of the county. It may have been a township name, Gaozu’s village altar. Dai Yanzhi’s Xizheng ji says, “Northwest of the county stood a temple to the Han founder, at the place where he had served as pavilion chief.”
75
Zan: in Duke Zhao 4 of the Zuo Tradition, Wu attacked Chu and entered Ji; Du Yu places Ji Pavilion northeast of the county. In Duke Xiang 1, Zheng invaded Song and took Quanqiu; Du Yu places Quanqiu city northeast of the county. The Diwang shiji says, “Cao Teng was enfeoffed as Marquis of Fei Pavilion; the Fei Pavilion in this county is that place.” It had Ming settlement. The Zuo Tradition says, “Ji acted immorally and attacked Ming at the three gates.” Fu Qian says Ming was Jin’s secondary capital; Du Yu says it was a town of Yu. Since its location is missing, it cannot be this Ming. The Bowu ji says, “The lords met at Ming Pavilion.” Zan settlement was also there.
76
Guyang County.
77
谿
Qiao: Pingyang town was the place Chu took in Duke Xi 23 of the Zuo Tradition. Ganxi lay to the south. Qiao was the Inspector’s seat; the Han guan gives its distance from Luoyang as 1,020 li.

The Erya says, “A mound upon a mound is called wanqiu.” Chen had Zhu settlement, probably the old land of Zhuxiang. The Bowu ji says, “The Qiong lands lay north of the county, and Fang Pavilion was there. The poem says, ‘Qiong has fine tiaos; Fang has magpie nests.’”
94
Yangxia had Guling settlement. The Records of the Historian says that in Gaozu 5, he pursued Xiang Ji to Guling; Jin Zhuo’s Han shu annotation identifies this as Gushi county in Runan.
95

96
Ku was called Xiang in the Spring and Autumn period. It had Lai Township. Fu Tao’s Beizheng ji says, “There was a Laozi temple.

Lu Princedom was the old state of Yan. The Diwang shiji says, “The Yellow Emperor was born at Shouqiu, north of Lu’s east gate. Shaohao rose to the imperial position from Qiongsang; Qiongsang was north of Lu, and he later moved to Qufu.” Ying Shao says, “Qufu lay within Lu city, winding for seven or eight li.” The Zuo Tradition says Boqin was enfeoffed at Shaohao’s ruins. In Duke Xi 29, Jie Gelu lodged at Changyan; Du Yu places Changping city southeast of the county. The Huanglan says, “The tomb of Earl Anli was inside the city, in Xiangshe. Local tradition says Lu’s Five Powers buried Earl Anli in his own residence.” It had the Dating clan storehouse. Du Yu says, “Dating was the name of an ancient state. It lay inside the city, and Lu built a storehouse there.” Iron is smelted here. Que Li, Kongzi’s home quarter, was there. The Han Jin chunqiu says, “When Zhongli Yi served as chancellor of Lu, he saw that Zhongni’s temple had collapsed and fallen into ruin. He gathered the students inside the temple and sighed deeply, saying, ‘The sheltering sweet pear was not to be cut or felled; how much more the temple of the sage before our eyes!’ He then stayed in person to repair it. Looking around, he found the carriage and robes still there; since Zhongni’s time no one had opened them. Yi opened and inspected them, and found documents in ancient script, which said, ‘The one who disorders my writings is Dong Zhongshu. The one who repairs my hall is Zhongli Yi. There were seven bi disks; Zhang Bo stole one.’ Yi began investigating but had not completed the inquiry. A soldier named Zhang Bo was then repairing the central courtyard; while leveling the ground, he found six bi disks and presented them. Yi said, ‘There were seven here; why has the set not been completed?’ Bo became afraid and pulled a bi disk from inside his robe. All Lu considered this numinous.” Yi’s separate biography says, “Yi inspected the hall and found Kongzi’s small carriage and conveyance, all rotted and ruined. Yi sold his own salary to hire workers and buy lacquer and glue, asking the people of Lu to repair them and to preserve the armrest, mats, sword, and shoes. Later, in a jar, he found writing on plain silk, saying, ‘Protect my shoes, Zhongli Yi.’” The Record of Rites’ garden of Juxiang was also southwest inside the city, near Kongzi’s temple. Zhongni’s tomb lay on the Si River just outside and north of Lu’s city gate, one li from the city. The burial ground covered about one qing; the mound measured ten paces north to south and thirteen paces east to west, and stood one zhang two chi high. In front of the tomb was a tile-and-brick sacrificial altar, six chi square and level with the ground. Hundreds of strange trees grew in the precinct, and the people of Lu could not identify them. The Huanglan says, “Kongzi originally had no shrine hall. Brambles and thorny plants that injure people did not grow in the grave precinct. Boyu’s tomb was east of Kongzi’s tomb, next to it, the larger and smaller facing one another. Zisi’s tomb was south of Kongzi’s tomb.” The note adds that the present tomb inscription places the grandson before the grandfather, calling this an arrogant grandson attached in burial. Niushou pavilion marks the site. Wufu Thoroughfare was there; the Didiao ji places it east of the city.
104
Zou: originally the state of Zhu. It had Mount Zou, five li high; the First Emperor of Qin carved an inscription there. Liu Hui’s Record of Mount Zou says, “Zhu city is south of the mountain, two li from it. Outside the city’s east gate is Wei Xian’s tomb, and to the north is Mount Yi. In Duke Wen 13, the Zuo Tradition says Zhu moved to Yi. Guo Pu says Mount Yi is entirely stone, piled and joined together. North of the city is Mount Ya; north of Mount Ya is Mount Tangkou; north of Mount Tangkou is Mount Yang. North of the city is Meng Ke’s tomb.”
105
〖Fan〗 The Nanliang River flows here.
106
〖Xue〗 Ancient capital later labeled Xuzhou in Warring States rhetoric.
107
Bian had Robber Spring. In Duke Wen 7 of the Zuo Tradition, Wu was fortified; Du Yu places Wuxiang city south of the county. In Duke Yin 1, a covenant was made at Mie; Du Yu says Mie was a place-name and that Gu city lay south of the county. In Duke Xiang 17, Qi besieged Tao; Du Yu places the Tao ruins southeast of the county. Wuxiang city is recorded.
108
西
Wenyang: in Duke Huan 12 of the Zuo Tradition, a covenant was made at Quchi; Du Yu places Qushui Pavilion north of the county. The Didao ji says, “The southwest gate of Linzi county was called Qu Gate, and beside it was a pool.” The note adds that Duke Huan of Lu covenanted with Qi and Ju and did not go to Qi territory, so the Didao ji is mistaken.
109
Yü Province closes with six jurisdictions and ninety-nine county-level seats.
110
鹿西
Wei Commandery was founded under Emperor Gaozu. The Wei zhi says, “In Jian’an 17, Dangyin, Chaoge, and Linlü from Henei; Weiguo, Dunqiu, Dongwuyang, and Fagan from Dong Commandery; Yingtao, Quzhou, Nanhe, Guangping, and Ren from Julu; and Xiangguo, Handan, and Yiyang from Zhao Princedom were detached to enlarge Wei Commandery.

Ye: the Diwang shiji says, “Southwest of the county was Shang Sima, where Taijia of Yin once lived.” The annotation to the Wei Capital Rhapsody says, “Northwest of the county was Drum Mountain. From time to time it sounded on its own; when it sounded, there would be war.” Jiaogu River also lay south of the county. The note adds that the main biography mentions Mount Xitang. North of Ye, the Taihang Mountains run off to the northwest, and no one knows where the mountains end, just as no one knows where the waters of the eastern sea are exhausted. The old Great River channel was there. The Fu River runs here. The Fu River flows past Yu city—names partly rendered with water radicals in the manuscript. Pingyang city stands here. Wucheng is recorded. Jiuhou city—the ruined Shang ward—is noted.

In Duke Ding 7 of the Zuo Tradition, a covenant was made at Sha; Du Yu places Sha Pavilion southeast of the county. That same year there was a covenant at Suo; the Jin didao ji places Suoyang city south of the county.
