(History of Song: Lu Yi served as Attending Censor in early Zhou. At the end of Han the law books were lost in the wars, and when the Court of Judicial Review memorialized for a rewrite of the statutes, ordinances, formats, comprehensive categories, and compiled edicts, the court ordered Yi, Vice Director Cao Feigong of the Bureau of Punishments, and Senior Rectifier Duan Tao to revise the old text together. Jingzhao Prefecture was raised to rank with the Five Prefectures; Kaifeng and Daming were made equivalent to Henan Prefecture; Chang'an and Wannian became secondary red counties and Kaifeng, Junyi, Daming, and Yuancheng became red counties. The gates of the Eastern Capital were classified—Xunfeng and the like as capital-city gates, Mingde as imperial-city gates, Qiyun as palace-city gates, Shenglong as palace gates, and Chongyuan as hall gates. Taboo forms for temple names were written incompletely. In all, two hundred and fourteen mistaken characters in form or meaning were corrected.
