(4. Gengchen) King Mu, Man (son of King Zhao), employed Zaofu as his charioteer and rode eight fine steeds, traveling a thousand li in a single day (fully recorded in the Zhou History). He ruled for fifty-five years (ascending the throne at age fifty, living to one hundred and four years). He instituted the Fu Penalties (the king commanded Marquis Fu, Lü Ji, to enter as Minister of Crime, increasing the light and reducing the heavy, summarizing the five punishments into three thousand: tattoo and nose-cutting one thousand each; foot-amputation five hundred; castration three hundred; capital punishment two hundred; this is the "Punishments of Lü" in the Classic of Filial Piety). Puppets (first made by Yan Shi and presented to the king). The transformed man (the Beishan jing says: in the king's time, a transformed man came from the western extremity; he overturned mountains and regions, moved cities and hamlets, entered water and fire, and penetrated metal and stone, his thousand changes and myriad transformations inexhaustible. The king revered him like a sage and built the Central Heaven Terrace for him to reside in. This was a manifestation of Mañjuśrī, Maudgalyāyana, and others; however, the king did not yet know they were disciples of the Buddha).
