King Wenxuan. In the eighth month of the twenty-seventh year, Confucius was posthumously canonized as King Wenxuan. Prior to this, in the sacrifices to the Former Sage and Former Teacher, the Duke of Zhou faced south and Confucius faced east. An imperial decree ordered that henceforth Confucius face south and wear royal robes, and posthumous titles of duke, marquis, and earl were conferred on his disciples (Tangshu).
