1.17

Boyi and Shuqi concealed their traces on Mount Shouyang, not wishing for their virtue to be praised by others, yet people naturally praised their virtue. (The Records of the Grand Historian states: Boyi and Shuqi were the two sons of the Lord of Guzhu. Yielding, they did not succeed to the throne, and wished to go southwest. Encountering King Wu's campaign against Zhou, they pulled at his horse's bridle and remonstrated, but were not heeded. They hid on Mount Shouyang, vowing not to eat the grain of the Zhou, and ultimately starved to death.)
