Abstract
Translator’s summary: This chapter contains the first grudging and half-honest mention of a violent action on the part of the state of Lu (its destruction of the neighboring state of Ji), as well as the ridiculing of the Marquis of (a different state of) Ji for sending an officer to fetch home his bride and thus mixing official and family business to an unacceptable degree. In the story of Duke Mu of Song is more foreshadowing about the dangers facing Duke Yin as he continues to try to manage the succession; and, in fact, Duke Yin’s assassination at the hands of Prince Hui is explicitly foretold.
