〖定陶〗本曹国，郭璞曰：「城中有陶丘。」皇覽曰：「伯樂冢縣東南一里所，髙四五丈。」古陶，尧所居。帝王世記曰：「舜陶河濱，縣西南陶丘亭是。」 Dingtao had been the state of Cao. Guo Pu says, “Inside the city was Taoqiu,” and the Huanglan says, “Bo Le's tomb was about one li southeast of the county, four or five zhang high.” This was ancient Tao, where Yao lived. The Diwang shiji says, “Shun made pottery by the riverbank; Taoqiu Pavilion southwest of the county is this place.”
