2. Allusion: In the seventeenth year of Lu (525 BC), Scorpion made a pilgrimage to Lu for the second time and hosted a banquet. During the dinner, Dr. Lu's uncle Sun asked about the official name of the ancient emperor as bird. On the Ancestor Kan Kan in Tancheng Mathematical Classics. He said: Shao Hao is my ancestor, of course I know. When my ancestor Shao Hao ascended the throne for the first time, a phoenix happened to fly, which was considered as an auspicious sign. Therefore, he worships birds as his teachers and calls various official positions by their names. Tan Zi further explained: Shao Hao is our great-grandfather, and I know what this is. Once upon a time, the Yellow Emperor recorded stories with clouds, so all his officials were named after clouds. Emperor Yan recorded fire, so all his officials were named after fire; Gong gong shou shui Lu, and all officials are named after water; Tai Hao's family history is recorded by dragons, and all his officials are named after dragons. When my great-great grandfather Shao Hao succeeded to the throne, he happened to meet a phoenix bird, so he wrote a note about it, and his officials named it after it.
3. For example, the Phoenix bird is in charge of the calendar. Phoenix bird's family is a calendar. Phoenix is an auspicious bird. It is peaceful and stable as soon as it appears in the world. It knows the weather. Calendar is the official responsible for calculating the correct day, so it is called Phoenix Bird. The mysterious bird is in charge of the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox. The mysterious bird is a swallow. They come at the vernal equinox and leave at the autumnal equinox, so this mysterious bird is the name of the official in charge of the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox. Zhao Bo is responsible for the summer solstice and the winter solstice. Zhao Bo is a shrike. It starts singing on the solstice in summer and stops on the solstice in winter. An official position is named after it. Jade Bird is in charge of beginning of spring and Changxia. Bluebird is a pigeon owl. It began to sing in beginning of spring and stopped in the long summer, so this office was named after it. Dan byrd is in charge of beginning of autumn and beginning of winter. Danniao is a pheasant. It left from beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, so it was named after it.
4. The above four kinds of birds are all officials of the Phoenix family. I hope the pigeon is Stuart. Zhu Qiu is very filial, so she is named the director of education after him. Starting from Zhuan Xu, since it was impossible to record things in ancient times, we began to record things in modern times. As an official position in charge of the people, it can only be named after the things of the people, not after dragons and birds as before.
Everyone in the room admires Danzi's profound knowledge. Confucius was twenty-seven years old and worked as a small official in Lu. After listening to Danzi, he went to Danzi for advice. Soon after Confucius "asked the official", he told others: "I heard that the ancient official system was promoted by the Emperor of Heaven, but all the knowledge about the ancient official system was preserved in small barbarian countries in all directions." "Asking an official" is a historical allusion related to Yong country, which has been cherished by people for more than 2500 years and is still an important material for studying the formation of ancient official system and the evolution of ancient nationalities.
