(11) Feizi of Qin. (His ancestors were descendants of Gaoyang. Beginning with Nüxiu, Daye, and Dafei, who assisted Shun as minister; Dalian, Mengxi, and Zhongyan were great-great-grandsons of Dalian, with bird bodies and human speech, serving as charioteers for Taiwu of Yin; Zhongjue, Feilian, and Elai were also ancestors of Qin. Later Boyi assisted Yu in controlling the floods with merit, and Shun granted him the surname Ying. His descendant Feizi was employed by King Xiao of Zhou to supervise horses, which greatly multiplied; he was enfeoffed at Qin and called Qin Ying. By Duke De, they resided in Yongcheng, which is Longcheng County in Qinzhou. Later Duke Mu first became hegemon; by King Zhaoxiang they assumed the title of king. From Feizi downward: Marquis of Qin, Gongbo, Qin Zhong, Zhuang, Ping, Wen, Xuan, Chu, Wu, De, Xuan, Cheng, Mu, Kang, Gong, Huan, Xiang, Hui, Dao, Li, Zao, Huai, Ling, Jian, Hui, Chu, Xian, Xiao, Huiwen Wang, Wu Wang, and Zhao Wang—thirty-two rulers, six hundred and thirty-eight years.)
