The original text of Zhou Ji's three families divided into Jin:

At the beginning of the twenty-third year of King Weilie of Zhou (403 BC), Zhixuanzi will be followed by Yao. Zhiguo said:"It's not as good as a supper.

Yao Zhixian is five people, and one is not caught. If the beautiful hair grows up, the shooting strength is virtuous, the trick is virtuous, the clever writing is wise, the strong and resolute is virtuous, and it is very unkind.

The husband is a man with his five sages, and he acts with unkindness, who can treat him? If it is established, Zhizong will be destroyed"。Fu listened, Zhiguo other clan[1] Yu Taishi is the auxiliary clan.

The son of Zhao Jianzi, the elder is called Bolu, and the youngest is said to be shirtless. will be put behind, do not know what to stand. It is the words of the book of precepts in the second Jane, in order to give the two sons to say:

Be careful"。After three years of asking, Boru can't cite it, and he has lost it by asking for simplicity. Ask without shirts, recite their words very customly, ask for their simplicity, and play them out of their sleeves. So Jian Zi regarded compassionlessness as a virtuous and immediately thought of it as the last.

Jian Zi made Yin Duo Jinyang. Please say:"Thought cocoon silk[2] whew?

Or for the sake of protection[3] Huh"？Jian Zi said:"Guaranteed"！

Yin Duo lost the number of his households.

2] Cocoon silk: It refers to the collection of people's property like a thread, and it will not stop until it is exhausted.

3] Protection: It refers to treating the people generously and taking less money, just like building a fort as a barrier.

Translation: The twenty-third year of the reign of King Weilie of Zhou (403 B.C.).

At the beginning, Zhi Xuanzi was ready to appoint Zhi Yao as his heir. The clansman Zhiguo said:"It's not as good as Lizhixiao.

Because Zhiyao has five points of meritocracy compared to others, but there are a few shortcomings. He has beautiful hair, is tall, and is a virtuous; Good at archery, strong driving, is a second sage; Outstanding skills, outstanding talents, are the three sages; Skillful and eloquent, beautiful words, are the four sages; Strong and resolute, resolute and brave, are the five sages.

Although he has such virtuous ability, he only has no benevolent heart. If he uses these five virtuous abilities to control others, and practices them with an unkind heart, who can stand it? If Zhi Yao is the queen, the Zhi race will be wiped out"。

Ji Xuanzi ignored this. In order to avoid disasters, Zhiguo changed to other clans as auxiliary clans. Zhao Guo's doctor Zhao Jianzi's eldest son is called Beru, and his younger son is called Wuxian.

Zhao Jianzi didn't know which one would be better to set up as the heir, so he engraved the words of daily admonition on two bamboo slips, handed them to his two sons respectively, and instructed:"Remember these words by heart"！After three years, Zhao Jianzi called his two sons and asked them about the contents of the bamboo slips.

The eldest son, Berlu, couldn't say it, so he asked him to take out the bamboo slips, which he said had already been lost. Zhao Jianzi asked his youngest son Wu shirt again, and he skillfully recited the words on the bamboo slip, and asked him where the bamboo slip was, and he immediately took it out of his sleeve and offered it.

Through this incident, Zhao Jianzi thought that he was not meritorious, so he made him his heir. Zhao Jianzi sent Yin Duo to govern Jinyang, and Yin Duo asked for instructions:"Are you going to let me go and scavenge for riches, or do you want to make it a safeguard?"？
