巡狩（上祥倫反切韻云徧也察也下舒救反韻英云狩獵也尚書曰二月東巡狩至于岱宗柴孔注云諸侯為天子守土故巡行之順春故先東巡夏秋冬例然巡狩四嶽然後歸告太廟又曰五載一巡狩群后四朝覲也）。

巡狩 (tours of inspection: the first character is *xi[áng]-l[ún]* fan; the Qieyun states: “Pervasively; to inspect.” The second character is *sh[ū]-ji[ù]* fan; the Yunying states: “狩 means hunting.” The Shangshu states: “In the second month, he went east on a tour of inspection, arriving at Daizong, where he burned a sacrificial fire.” Kong's commentary states: “Because the feudal lords guard territory on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he travels to inspect them. Conforming to spring, he thus first tours the east, and summer, autumn, and winter follow suit. After touring and inspecting the Four Peaks, he returns and reports to the Grand Ancestral Temple.” It also states: “Every five years he conducts one tour of inspection, and the various lords have four court audiences”).
