The commentary states: 'Shidian means offering foods and pouring libations. The former sages and former teachers are the Duke of Zhou and Confucius.' The Zhouli says: 'The king uses the palace hanging; the feudal lords use the xuan hanging.' The commentary states: 'Palace hanging means bells and chimes suspended from stands on all four sides; the feudal lords omit one side. The bell has the tone of gong, symbolizing the ruler. Bells hung on the stand are termed xian, pronounced xuan.'). Yanzi was enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Yan, and all the disciples were posthumously enfeoffed as dukes, marquises, and counts. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 40.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.40.57) - [Next: 40.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.40.59) - [Up: 40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.40) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.40.58) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.40.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.40.58) · Pramāṇa
