〖浚仪〗本大梁。帝王世記曰：「禹避商均浚儀。」晉地道記：「儀封人，此縣也。」通俗文曰「渠在浚儀，曰莨蕩」也。 Junyi had been Daliang. The Diwang shiji says, “Yu avoided Shangjun at Junyi.” The Jin didao ji says, “The man of Yifeng was from this county.” The Tongsu wen says, “The canal at Junyi is called Langdang.”

〖雍丘〗本杞国。陳留志曰：「城内有神井，能興霧雹。」案：徐齊民北征記曰：「有呂祿臺，髙七丈。有酈生祠。」曹植禹廟讚曰：「有禹祠，植移於其城，城本名杞城。」 Yongqiu was the old state of Qi. The Chenliu zhi says, “Inside the city was a divine well that could bring forth fog and hail.” Xu Qimin’s Beizheng ji says, “It had Lü Lu’s Terrace, seven zhang high, and a shrine to Li Sheng.” Cao Zhi’s Praise of Yu’s Temple says, “There was a shrine to Yu, which Zhi moved into the city; the city was originally called Qi city.”
