In the first year of Zhihe, an imperial decree ordered that twenty-four halberds be used in the Temple of the Ancient Sage. Because the marquis titles bestowed upon Zeng Shen and others violated the taboo personal name of the Ancient Sage, greatly offending against the disciples' etiquette of revering their teacher, seven individuals were slated for alternative titles. (Zengzi was previously titled Baron of Xiaqiu; Sima Niu of Chuqiu; Zizhang of Wanqiu; Shichu of Yingqiu; Qinkai of Dunqiu; and Nangong Zirong of Gongqiu. The above six were among the seventy disciples. Zuo Qiuming was titled of Xiaqiu; Guliang Chi of Gongqiu; and Dai Sheng of Chuqiu. The above three were among the companion sacrifices.)
