Weizi Qi of Song (elder half-brother of King Zhou. After King Wu conquered Yin, Qi brought sacrificial vessels to the army gates, bared his upper body and prostrated himself, leading a sheep on the left and grasping cogongrass on the right, advancing on his knees. King Wu thereupon released Weizi and enfieffed Wu Geng, son of King Zhou, to continue the Yin ancestral sacrifices, appointing the two uncles of Guan and Cai to assist him. When King Wu passed away, the Duke of Zhou assisted King Cheng. The Yin rebelled, and the king ordered the execution of Wu Geng; Qi was then enfieffed to replace Yin as the state of Song, which is modern Suiyang. Later, in the time of Duke Xiang, it first attained hegemony. From Qi downwards: Weizhong Ji, Ding, Min, Tang, Li, Xi, Hui, Xiang, Dai, Wu, Xuan, Mu, Shang, Zhuang, Min, Guxuan, Xiang, Cheng, Zhao, Wen, Gong, Ping, Yuan, Jing, Zhao, Dao, Xiu, Bi, Bie, and Cheng. Duke Yan proclaimed himself king, licentious and devoid of the Way; the feudal lords, together with Qi, Wei, and Chu, attacked it and divided its territory into three. In all, there were thirty-three rulers and eight hundred and thirty years, corresponding to the thirty-ninth year of King Nan of Zhou).
