Now, Ji Wen and Si Yu were sage rulers, while Jin Midi and You Yu were worthy ministers. All of them were born among the Yi and Di (Ri is pronounced mi; di is pronounced di. Ji was the surname of King Wen; Si was the surname of King Yu. King Wen was born in Western Bin; King Yu was born in Shidian. Both sages were born in barbarian lands. They practiced the transformation and government of benevolent rulers in the Central States, and we have never seen it said that their government was abandoned. Jin Midi was a loyal barbarian minister during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han who possessed the virtue of a worthy man. You Yu was an envoy who entered the borders of Qin during the time of the First Emperor, and was also a worthy man. As for King Wen, King Yu, Jin Midi, You Yu, and others, these enlightened rulers and worthy ministers were all people of the Yi and Di).
