Dan, Duke of Zhou, of Lu (the fourth son of King Wen. When King Wu conquered Yin, he enfeoffed him in the ruins of Shaohao, modern Xianyuan county in Yanzhou. The Duke did not proceed to it, but remained to assist King Wu. After King Wu passed away, he assisted King Cheng, sending his son Boqin to assume the post in Lu in his stead. The Duke admonished him, saying: "I am the son of King Wen, the younger brother of King Wu, and the uncle of King Cheng; in the world I am by no means lowly. Yet during a single hair-washing I grasp my hair three times, and during a single meal I spit out my mouthful three times, rising to receive gentlemen, lest I lose the worthy men of the world. When you go to Lu, do not treat people arrogantly on account of the state." Boqin received the mandate in Lu. Down from Boqin: Kao, Yang, You, Wei, Li, Xian, Zhen, Wu, Yi, Bo Yu, Xiao, Hui, Yin, Huan, Zhuang, Min, Xi, Wen, Xuan, Cheng, Xiang, Zhao, Ding, Ai, Dao, Yuan, Mu, Gong, Kang, Jing, Ping, Wen, and Qing. Thirty-four rulers, nine hundred and fifteen years. Down to the first year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, King Kaolie of Chu destroyed them. [Note: The Chunqiu begins with Duke Yin and ends with Duke Ai; Confucius died in the sixteenth year of Duke Ai]).
