44.16
In the seventh month, an imperial decree forbade the people from sitting or lying bare-chested on the hall steps of various monasteries and abbeys; violators were to be judged as committing disrespect. Wang Dan, the Chief Minister, led the civil and military officials in submitting five memorials requesting the Feng and Shan sacrifices. In the tenth month, the common people in the capital successively submitted memorials, and an imperial decree granted permission. In the eleventh month, the imperial carriage proceeded to Qufu (the old territory of the State of Lu in Yanzhou) to visit the temple of the First Sage. The officials fixed the ceremony as a solemn bow, but the Emperor specially made two full prostrations, which thereupon became an established rule. Confucius was granted the posthumous title of King Xuanxuan Wenxuan; the imperial prayer text submitted his name. His father Shuliang He was enfeoffed as Duke of the State of Qi, his mother Lady Yan as Mistress of the State of Lu, and his wife Lady Guan as Mistress of the State of Yun. Ten households were granted to maintain the tomb grounds, along with one hundred qing of land and an imperial encomium. The Grand Duke of Qi was enfeoffed as King Zhaolie Wucheng.
