35.79

The Shiji ('Hereditary House of Confucius') states: 'Weizi, the son of the Shang emperor Di Yi, was first enfiefed in Song. In the thirteenth generation, Kong Fangshu migrated and settled in Lu. Fangshu's son was Boxia; Boxia's son was Shuliang He, who was the father of Confucius.' The Queli ji says: 'On the eve of his birth, two dragons encircled the chamber, and the Five Elders descended into the courtyard. In the chamber of the Yan mother, the music of the Central Heavens was heard. His forehead had the crescent horn, his nose the sun-like straightness, his eyes were like rivers and his mouth like the sea. His eyebrows had twelve colours, and his eyes had sixty-four distinct patterns.'
