Tsăng Sin's demurring to the thing, they abandoned the purpose. The tablet of Tsze-jo is now the 6th, east, among "The Wise Ones," to which place it was promoted in the 3d year of Keen-lung of the present dynasty. This was done in compliance with a memorial from the president of one of the Boards, who said he was moved by a dream to make the request. We may suppose that his real motives were a wish to do justice to the merits of Tsze-jo, and to restore the symmetry of the tablets in the "Hall of the Great and Complete One," which had been disturbed by the introduction of the tablet of Choo He in the preceding reign.

28. Kung-se Chih, styled Tsze-hwa (4), a native of Loo, younger than Confucius by 42 years, whose place is the 4th, west, in the outer court. He was noted for his knowledge of ceremonies, and the other disciples devolved on him all the arrangements about the funeral of the Master.

29. Woo-ma She [or K'e], styled Tsze-K'e ([ al.,

[al., ht]), a native of Ch'in, or, acc. to Ching Heuen, of Loo, 30 years younger than Confucius. His tablet is on the east, next to that of Sze-ma Kăng. It is related that on one occasion, when Confucius was about to set out with a company of the disciples on a walk or journey, he told them to take umbrellas. They met with a heavy shower, and Woo-ma asked him, saying, "There were no clouds in the morning, but after the sun had risen, you told us to take umbrellas. How did you know that it would rain?" Confucius said, "The moon last evening was in the constellation Peih, and is it not said in the She-king, 'When the moon is in Peih, there will be heavy rain?' It was thus I knew it."

30. Leang Chen [al., Le], styled Shuh-yu ([al.

), occupies the eighth place, west, among the tablets of the outer court. He was a man of Ts'e, and his age is stated as 29 and 39 years younger than Confucius. The following story is told in connection with him.-When he was thirty, being disappointed that he had no son, he was minded to put away his wife. "Do not do so,' said Shang Keu to him. "I was 38 before I had a son, and my mother was then about to take another wife for me, when the Master proposed sending me to Ts'e. My mother was unwilling that I should but Confucius said, 'Don't be anxious. Keu will have five sous

go,

after he is forty.' It has turned out so, and I apprehend it is your fault, and not your wife's, that you have no son yet." Chen took this advice, and in the second year after, he had a son.

31. Yen Hing [al., Sin, Lew, and Wei], styled Tsze-lew(i‡[al. *, and 7), occupies the place, east, after Woo-ma She. He was a native of Loo, and 46 years younger than Confucius.

fucius.

35. Following Tsze-seun is Kung-sun Lung [al., Ch'ung], styled Tsze-shih ( [al. #+) whose birth is assigned by different writers to Wei, Ts'oo, and Chaou (). He was 53 years younger than Confucius. We have the following account:-"Tszekung asked Tsze-shih, saying, 'Have you not studied the Book of Poetry?' Tsze-shih replied, 'What leisure have I to do so? My parents require me to be filial; my brothers require me to be submissive; and my friends require me to be sincere. What leisure have I for anything else?' 'Come to my Master,' said Tsze-kung, "and learn of him.""

Sze-ma Ts'een here observes:-" Of the thirty-five disciples which precede, we have some details. Their age and other particulars are found in the Books and Records. It is not so, however, in regard to the fifty-two which follow."

who drove the carriage, when Confucius rode in Wei after the duke and Nan-tsze. But this seems doubtful. Other authoritics make his name Ch'an (), and style him Tsze-tsing (*). His tablet is the 13th, east.

57. Shin Tang, styled Chow (). In the "Family Sayings" there is a Shin Tseih, styled Tsze-chow (77). The name is given by others as T'ang (and ), and Tsuh (), with the designation Tsze-tsuh (F). These are probably the same person mentioned in the Analects as Shin Chang (†).
