周三臣○韓通李筠李重進 Three Zhou Officials — Han Tong, Li Yun, and Li Chongjin

李筠、李重進舊史書叛，叛與否未易言也，洛邑所謂頑民，非殷之忠臣乎？ Earlier histories called Li Yun and Li Chongjin rebels, yet the charge is far from clear. Were not those whom the Zhou called the "stubborn people" of Luoyi in truth loyalists of the fallen Shang?
