3.42
(15. Jiaxu) King Xuan, Jing. (Son of King Li. Earlier, when the king fled to Zhi, the crown prince hid in the household of the Duke of Zhao. The people of the state surrounded it, but the Duke substituted his own son for him, allowing the crown prince to escape. Once grown, the two Earls of Zhou and Zhao established him as king. He cultivated the customs of Kings Wen, Wu, Cheng, and Kang, and the feudal lords once again pledged allegiance to the Zhou. At that time, a great drought struck the realm; the king reproached himself, and after six years, it finally rained.) He reigned for forty-six years. The royal official, Court Scribe Zhou, modified the ancient script of Cangjie into the Large Seal script. (Today, several characters remain on the stone drums at Qixia; during the Song dynasty, Su Shi deciphered a few of them.)
