十六年春,王正月,公在晋,晋人止公。不书,讳之也。
In the spring of the sixteenth year, in the first month of the first month of the dynasty, the duke was in Jin, and the Jin people stopped the duke. If you don't write it, you'll keep it taboo.
十六年春季,周王朝历法的正月,鲁昭公在晋国,晋国人扣留了昭公。《春秋》不记载这件事,这是由于隐讳。
In the spring of the sixteenth year, on the first month of the Zhou Dynasty's calendar, Duke Zhao of Lu was in Jin, and the people of Jin detained Duke Zhao. "Spring and Autumn" does not record this incident, which is due to confidentiality.
齐侯伐徐。
The Marquis of Qi attacked Xu.
齐景公发兵进攻徐国。
Qi Jinggong sent troops to attack Xu State.
楚子闻蛮氏之乱也,与蛮子之无质也,使然丹诱戎蛮子嘉杀之,遂取蛮氏。既而复立其子焉,礼也。
Chuzi heard that the Man clan was in chaos and had nothing to do with the barbarians, so he lured the barbarians to kill them, and then took the Man clan. It is also a courtesy to reestablish his son.
楚平王听说戎蛮部落发生动乱和蛮子没有信用,派然丹诱骗戎蛮子嘉而杀了他,就占领了戎蛮部落。不久以后又立了他的儿子,这是合于礼的。
King Ping of Chu heard that the Rongman tribe was in turmoil and that the barbarians had no credibility. He sent Ran Dan to trick Rongman Zijia into killing him, and then occupied the Rongman tribe. Soon after, he raised his son, which was in line with etiquette.
二月丙申,齐师至于蒲隧。徐人行成。徐子及郯人、莒人会齐侯,盟于蒲隧,赂以甲父之鼎。叔孙昭子曰:“诸侯之无伯,害哉!齐君之无道也,兴师而伐远方,会之,有成而还,莫之亢也,无伯也夫!《诗》曰:‘宗周既灭,靡所止戾。正大夫离居,莫知我肄。’其是之谓乎!”
In February Bingshen, all troops arrived at Puchun. Xu Renxingcheng. Xu Zi, the Tan people, and the Ju people gathered with the Marquis of Qi, made an alliance in Puchun, and bribed Jiafu's tripod. Uncle Sun Zhaozi said: "It is harmful for the princes to have no uncles! The ruler of Qi is unruly. He raises armies to attack distant places, meets them, and then returns with success. If he is not arrogant, he has no uncles! "Poetry" says: "Zongzhou has been destroyed, and the violence has been stopped. The righteous officials are away from home, and they don't know that I am poor.' This is what it means!"
二月十四日,齐军到达蒲隧。徐国人求和,徐子和郯人、莒人会见齐景公,在蒲隧结盟,送给齐景公甲父之鼎。叔孙昭子说:“诸侯没有领袖,对小国是个危险啊!齐国的国君无道,起兵攻打远方的国家,会见了他们,缔结了和约而回来,没有人能够抵御,这是由于没有霸主啊!《诗》说,‘宗周已经衰亡,无所安定。执政的大夫四处分居,没有人知道我的辛劳’,说的就是这个吧!”
On February 14, the Qi army arrived at Puchun. The people of Xu sued for peace, and Xu Zi, the Tan people, and the Ju people met with Qi Jinggong, formed an alliance in Putun, and gave Qi Jinggong the tripod of Jiafu. Uncle Sun Zhaozi said: "The princes have no leaders, which is a danger to the small country! The ruler of Qi State is immoral. He raises troops to attack distant countries. He meets them, concludes a peace treaty and comes back. No one can resist. This is because there is no overlord! The "Poetry" says, 'Zong Zhou has declined and there is no stability. The ruling officials are scattered everywhere, and no one knows my hard work.' This is what he is talking about!"
二月,晋韩起聘于郑,郑伯享之。子产戒曰:“苟有位于朝,无有不共恪。”孔张后至,立于客间。执政御之,适客后。又御之,适县间。客従而笑之。事毕,富子谏曰:“夫大国之人,不可不慎也,几为之笑而不陵我?我皆有礼,夫犹鄙我。国而无礼,何以求荣?孔张失位,吾子之耻也。”子产怒曰:“发命之不衷,出令之不信,刑之颇类,狱之放纷,会朝之不敬,使命之不听,取陵于大国,罢民而无功,罪及而弗知,侨之耻也。孔张,君之昆孙子孔之后也,执政之嗣也,为嗣大夫,承命以使,周于诸侯,国人所尊,诸侯所知。立于朝而祀于家,有禄于国,有赋于军,丧祭有职,受脤、归脤,其祭在庙,已有著位,在位数世,世守其业,而忘其所,侨焉得耻之?辟邪之人而皆及执政,是先王无刑罚也。子宁以他规我。”
In February, Jin and Han hired Zheng, and Zheng Bo enjoyed it. Zichanjie said: "As long as you are in the court, there will be no exceptions." Kong Zhang came later and stood in the guest room. When you are in power, you are in charge, and when you are a guest, you are the queen. And to control it, it is suitable for counties. The guests smiled. After the matter was over, Fu Zi admonished him and said: "A man in a great country must not be careless. How can he laugh at me and not maim me? I am all polite, but you still despise me. If the country is rude, why seek glory? It is my son's shame that Kong Zhang loses his throne." Chan said angrily: "Indiscretion in issuing orders, disbelief in orders, mismatched punishments, inconsistent imprisonment, disrespect in court, disobedience to missions, taking tombs in a big country, dismissing people without success, not knowing about crimes, and the shame of overseas Chinese. Kong Zhang , the king's grandson after Confucius is also the heir of the ruler, he is the heir, he is the official, he is entrusted with orders, he is respected by the princes, he is known by the princes, he is established in the court and worshiped at home, he is paid to the country, he is given to the army, and he has duties at funerals. , accept favors, return to favors, have been sacrificed in the temple, have been in place for several generations, and have kept their jobs for many generations, and have forgotten their place, how can they be shamed? Those who ward off evil are all in power. This is the king who has no punishment for him."
三月,晋国的韩起到郑国聘问,郑定公设享礼招待他。子产告诫大家说:“如果在朝廷的享礼上有一个席位,不要发生不恭敬的事!”孔张后到,站在客人中间,主管典礼的人挡住他,去到客人后边,主管典礼的人又挡住他,他只好到悬挂乐器的间隙中待着。客人因此而笑他。事情结束,富子劝谏说:“对待大国的客人,是不可以不慎重的。难道说被他们笑话了,而他们会不欺负我们?我们样样都能做到有礼,那些人还会看不起我们。国家没有礼仪,凭什么求得光荣?孔张没有站到应该站的位置上,这是您的耻辱。”子产发怒说:“发布命令不恰当,命令发出后没有信用,刑罚偏颇不平,诉讼放任混乱,朝会有时失去礼仪,命令没有人听从,招致大国的欺负,使百姓疲惫而没有功劳,罪过来到还不知道,这是我的耻辱。孔张,是国君哥哥的孙子,子孔的后代,执政大夫的继承人,做了嗣大夫,他接受命令而出使,遍及诸侯各国,为国内的人们所尊敬,为诸侯所熟悉。他在朝中有官职,在家里有祖庙,接受国家的爵禄,分担战争所需的军赋,丧事、祭祀有一定的职责,接受和归还祭肉,辅助国君在宗庙里祭祀,已经有了固定的地位。他家在位已经几代,世世代代保守自己的家业,现在忘记了他应该处的地位,侨哪里能为他感到耻辱?不正派的人把一切都归罪于我这个执政的人,等于说先王没有刑罚。你最好用别的事来纠正我。”
In March, Han Qi of Jin State came to Zheng Guo to ask questions, and Zheng Ding entertained him with gifts. Zichan warned everyone: "If you have a seat at the court ceremony, don't do anything disrespectful!" Kong Zhang arrived later and stood among the guests. The person in charge of the ceremony blocked him. When he went behind the guests, the person in charge of the ceremony blocked him again, so he had to stay in the gap where the musical instruments were hung. The guests laughed at him for this. After the matter was over, Fuzi admonished: "You must be cautious when dealing with guests from big countries. Could it be that we were laughed at by them and they would not bully us? We can be polite in everything, but those people will still look down on us. The country has no etiquette, so why should we seek glory? Kong Zhang did not stand where he should stand. This is your shame. Zichan said angrily: "Issuance of orders is inappropriate, there is no credibility after the order is issued, the punishment is unfair, the proceedings are chaotic, the court meeting sometimes loses its etiquette, the orders are not obeyed, the big country bullies, the people are tired and have no merit, the crime is not known, this is my shame. Kong Zhang is the grandson of the king's brother." The descendant of the ruling official, he became the successor official. He accepted orders and went on missions throughout the princes and countries. He was respected by the people in the country and familiar to the princes. He had an official position in the court, had an ancestral temple at home, received the country's title and salary, shared the military gifts required for the war, had certain responsibilities for funerals and sacrifices, accepted and returned sacrificial meat, and assisted. The monarch has a fixed status by offering sacrifices in the ancestral temple. His family has been in power for generations, and now he has forgotten his proper status. How can an unrighteous person blame everything on me, the ruler, which is equivalent to saying that the former king has no punishment. "
宣子有环,有一在郑商。宣子谒诸郑伯,子产弗与,曰:“非官府之守器也,寡君不知。”子大叔、子羽谓子产曰:“韩子亦无几求,晋国亦未可以贰。晋国、韩子,不可偷也。若属有谗人交斗其间,鬼神而助之,以兴其凶怒,悔之何及?吾子何爱于一环,其以取憎于大国也,盍求而与之?”子产曰:“吾非偷晋而有二心,将终事之,是以弗与,忠信故也。侨闻君子非无贿之难,立而无令名之患。侨闻为国非不能事大字小之难,无礼以定其位之患。夫大国之人,令于小国,而皆获其求,将何以给之?一共一否,为罪滋大。大国之求,无礼以斥之,何餍之有?吾且为鄙邑,则失位矣。若韩子奉命以使,而求玉焉,贪淫甚矣,独非罪乎?出一玉以起二罪,吾又失位,韩子成贪,将焉用之?且吾以玉贾罪,不亦锐乎?”
Xuanzi has rings, and one is in Zhengshang. Xuanzi paid a visit to Uncle Zheng, but Zichan refused to accept it, saying: "It is not a weapon of the government, and I don't know about it." Uncle Zi and Ziyu said to Zichan, "Hanzi has little to ask for, and Jin can't steal it. Jin and Hanzi can't steal it. If there are slanderers fighting in the meantime. , The ghosts and gods help him, to arouse his fierce anger, how can I regret it? Why do I love Yihuan, and he hates the great country, and wants to give it to him? "Zi Chan said: "I did not steal the Jin, but I will end up doing it. It is difficult to bribe, but there is no danger of being established. It is difficult for a country to do something big and small, and it is difficult to be rude. If a person from a big country gets what he wants, how can he give it to a big country? How can I be satisfied with this? If Han Zi is ordered to ask for jade, then it is not a crime to be greedy and promiscuous. If I lose my position, how can I use jade as a crime?"
韩宣子有一付玉环,其中一个在郑国的商人手里。韩宣子向郑定公请求得到那只玉环,子产不给,说:“这不是公家府库中保管的器物,寡君不知道。”子太叔、子羽对子产说:“韩子也没有太多的要求,对晋国也不能怀有二心。晋国和韩子都是不能轻视的。如果正好有坏人在两国中间挑拨,如果鬼神再帮着坏人,以兴起他们的凶心怒气,后悔哪里来得及?您为什么爱惜一个玉环而以此使大国来讨厌呢?为什么不去找来给他?”子产说:“我不是轻慢晋国而有二心,而是要始终事奉他们,所以才不给他,这是为了忠实和守信用的缘故。侨听说君子不是怕没有财物,而是担心没有美好的名声。侨又听说治理国家不是怕不能事奉大国、抚养小国,而是怕没有礼仪来安定他的地位。大国命令小国,如果一切要求都得到满足,将要用什么来不断地供给他们?一次给了,一次不给,所得的罪过更大。大国的要求,如果不合乎礼就驳斥,他们哪里会有满足的时候?我们如果将成为他们的边境城市,那就失去了作为一个国家的地位了。如果韩子奉命出使而求取玉环,他的贪婪邪恶就太过分了,难道不是罪过吗?拿出一只玉环而引起两种罪过,我们又失去了国家的地位,韩子成为贪婪的人,哪里用得着这样?而且我们因为玉环招来罪过,不也是太不值得了吧?”
Han Xuanzi had a pair of jade rings, one of which was in the hands of a businessman from the state of Zheng. Han Xuanzi asked Zheng Dinggong for the jade ring, but Zi Chan refused to give it, saying, "This is not an artifact kept in the public treasury, and I don't know about it." Zi Taishu and Zi Yu said to Zi Chan, "Han Zi doesn't have many demands, and he can't have second thoughts about Jin. Neither Jin nor Han Zi should be underestimated. If there happens to be bad people to stir up trouble between the two countries, and if the ghosts and gods help the bad people again to raise them up, Why do you cherish a jade ring and make the big country hate it? "Zi Chan said: "I don't have any intention of being disrespectful to Jin, but I want to serve them all the time, so I don't give it to them. It's for the sake of loyalty and trustworthiness. Qiao also heard that a gentleman is not afraid of not having wealth, but of not having a good reputation. Governing a country is not about not being able to serve the big country and support the small country, but the fear of not having the etiquette to stabilize its status. If the big country orders the small country, what will it do to continuously provide for them? If it is given once and not given once, the consequences will be greater. If the big country rejects the request if it is not in line with etiquette, how can we be satisfied? If Han Zi was ordered to go on a mission and asked for the jade ring, his greed and evil would be too much. Wouldn't it be a sin? If he took out a jade ring and caused two sins, we would lose our status as a country. How could Han Zi be a greedy person? And wouldn't it be too unworthy for us to incur sin because of the jade ring?
韩子买诸贾人,既成贾矣,商人曰:“必告君大夫。”韩子请诸子产曰:“日起请夫环,执政弗义,弗敢复也。今买诸商人,商人曰,必以闻,敢以为请。”子产对曰:“昔我先君桓公,与商人皆出自周,庸次比耦,以艾杀此地,斩之蓬蒿藜藿,而共处之。世有盟誓,以相信也,曰:‘尔无我叛,我无强贾,毋或丐夺。尔有利市宝贿,我勿与知。’恃此质誓,故能相保,以至于今。今吾子以好来辱,而谓敝邑强夺商人,是教弊邑背盟誓也,毋乃不可乎!吾子得玉而失诸侯,必不为也。若大国令,而共无艺,郑,鄙邑也,亦弗为也。侨若献玉,不知所成,敢私布之。”韩子辞玉,曰:“起不敏,敢求玉以徼二罪?敢辞之。”
Han Zi bought the merchants, and now that they have become the merchants, the merchant said, "I will inform you and the magistrates." Han Zi invited the disciples to say, "From now on, I will invite my husband to the ring, and the government will not be righteous, so I dare not return. Now I buy the merchants, the merchant said, I will definitely hear it, and I dare to think of it." Zichan said to him: "In the past, my ancestor Huan Gong and the merchants were all from the Zhou Dynasty. Yongci Bihu used mugwort to kill this place, cut off the basil and thorngrass, and lived together. There are oaths in the world, so I believe them, saying: 'You have never rebelled against me, and I have no powerful merchants, nor should I. Beggar robs you. I don’t want to know about it. I relied on this pledge to protect each other until now. Now my son is trying to humiliate the merchants by force, which is a violation of the oath. It’s impossible for my son to get the jade and lose it! The princes must not do it. If the country has no skills, it is also a shame. If the overseas Chinese offer jade, they will not know what to do. "Han Zi said: "I am not sensitive, and I dare to ask for jade."
韩宣子向商人购买玉环,已经成交了。商人说:“一定要告诉君大夫!”韩宣子向子产请求说:“前些时候我请求得到这只玉环,执政认为不合于道义,所以不敢再次请求。现在在商人那里买到了,商人说一定要把这件事情报告,谨敢以此作为请求。”子产回答说:“从前我们先君桓公和商人们都是从周朝迁居出来的,共同合作清除这块土地,砍去野草杂木,一起居住在这里。世世代代都有盟誓,互相信赖。誓辞说:‘你不要背叛我,我不要强买你的东西,不要乞求、不要掠夺。你有赚钱的买卖和宝贵的货物,我也不加过问。’仗着这个有信用的盟誓,所以能互相支持直到今天。现在你带着友好的情谊光临敝邑,而告诉我们去强夺商人的东西,这是教导敝邑背叛盟誓,未免不可以吧!如果得到玉环而失去诸侯,那您一定是不干的。如果大国有命令,要我们没原则地供应,那就是把郑国当成了边境里的城市,我们也是不干的。侨如果献上玉环,真不知道有什么道理和好处。谨敢私下向您布达。”韩宣子就把玉环退了回去,说:“我韩起虽然不聪明,岂敢求取玉环以求得两项罪过?谨请把玉环退还。”
Han Xuanzi bought a jade ring from a businessman and the deal was completed. The merchant said: "You must tell Doctor Jun!" Han Xuanzi asked Zichan: "I asked for this jade ring some time ago. The ruler thought it was unethical, so I didn't dare to ask again. Now I bought it from the merchant. The merchant said that I must report this matter. I dare to take this as my request." Zichan replied: "In the past, our ancestors Duke Huan and the merchants all moved from the Zhou Dynasty. They worked together to clear the land, cut down the weeds and weeds, and lived here together for generations. The oath said: "Don't betray me, and I won't buy your things by force. Don't beg or rob you of valuable goods." Ask. ’ Relying on this trustworthy oath, we can support each other to this day. Now you come to our city with friendly feelings and tell us to seize the merchants’ things. This is to teach our city to betray the oath. If you get the jade ring and lose the princes, you must not do it if the big country orders it. We will not do it if we treat Zheng Guo as a border city. I don’t know what the benefits are if I offer the jade ring to you privately.” Han Xuanzi sent the jade ring back and said, “Although I am not smart, how can I ask for the jade ring to get two sins?”
夏四月,郑六卿饯宣子于郊。宣子曰:“二三君子请皆赋,起亦以知郑志。”子齹(cī,牙齿参差不齐,此作人名)赋《野有蔓草》。宣子曰:“孺子善哉!吾有望矣。”子产赋《郑之羔裘》。宣子曰:“起不堪也。”子大叔赋《褰裳》。宣子曰:“起在此,敢勤子至于他人乎?”子大叔拜。宣子曰:“善哉,子之言是!不有是事,其能终乎?”子游赋《风雨》,子旗赋《有女同车》,子柳赋《萚(tuò,一种草)兮》。宣子喜曰:“郑其庶乎!二三君子以君命贶起,赋不出郑志,皆昵燕好也。二三君子数世之主也,可以无惧矣。”宣子皆献马焉,而赋《我将》。子产拜,使五卿皆拜,曰:“吾子靖乱,敢不拜德?”宣子私觐于子产以玉与马,曰:“子命起舍夫玉,是赐我玉而免吾死也,敢不藉手以拜?”
In April of summer, Zheng Liuqing paid a visit to Xuanzi in the suburbs. Xuanzi said: "Two or three gentlemen asked each other to write poems, so that they could understand Zheng Zhi." Xuanzi said: "What a good boy! I have hope." Zichan wrote "Zheng Zhi Lamb Qiu". Xuanzi said: "It's too difficult to get up." Uncle Zi wrote a poem called "Cotton Shang". Xuanzi said: "You are here, how dare you be as diligent as others?" Uncle Zi paid his respects. Xuanzi said: "Excellent! What you say is true! How can it end if it doesn't happen?" Ziyou wrote "Wind and Rain", Ziqi wrote "A Girl Riding a Car", and Ziliu wrote "萚(tuò, a kind of grass) Xi". Xuanzi said happily: "Zheng is a concubine! Two or three gentlemen have risen up with the king's orders, but they can't give Zheng Zhi. They are all fond of Yan Hao. Two or three gentlemen have been the masters of several generations, so they can have nothing to fear." Xuanzi all offered horses and wrote the poem "I will". Zichan paid homage to him and made all the five ministers bow to him, saying: "My son is in peace, how dare you not bow to me?"
夏季,四月,郑国的六卿为韩宣子在郊外饯行。韩宣子说:“请几位大臣都赋诗一首,起也可以了解郑国的意图。”子齹赋《野有蔓草》。韩宣子说:“孺子好啊!我有希望了。”子产赋郑国的《羔裘》。韩宣子说:“起是不敢当的。”子太叔赋《褰裳》。韩宣子说:“有起在这里,难道敢劳动您去事奉别人吗?”子太叔拜谢。韩宣子说:“好啊,您说起了这个!要不是有这回事,能从始至终地友好下去吗?”子游赋《风雨》,子旗赋《有女同车》。子柳赋《萚兮》。韩宣子很高兴,说:“郑国差不多要强盛了吧!几位大臣用国君的名义赏赐起,所赋的《诗》不出郑国之外,都是表示友好的。几位大臣都是传了几世的大夫,可以不再有所畏惧了。”韩宣子对他们都奉献马匹,而且赋了《我将》。子产拜谢,又让其他五个卿也都拜谢,说:“您安定动乱,岂敢不拜谢恩德!”韩宣子用玉和马作为礼物私下拜见子产,说:“您命令起舍弃那个玉环,这是赐给了我金玉良言而免我一死,岂敢不借此薄礼表示拜谢!”
In summer, in April, the six ministers of the State of Zheng paid a farewell party to Han Xuanzi in the suburbs. Han Xuanzi said: "Ask several ministers to compose a poem, and we can understand Zheng Guo's intention." Han Xuanzi said: "Good boy! I have hope." Zichan wrote "Lao Qiu" written by Zheng Guo. Han Xuanzi said: "I don't dare to be a Qi." Taishu Zi wrote a poem called "Couple Shang". Han Xuanzi said: "You are here, how dare I work for you to serve others?" Uncle Zi Tai thanked him. Han Xuanzi said: "Okay, you mentioned this! If it hadn't happened, could we have been friendly from beginning to end?" Zi You wrote "Wind and Rain" and Zi Qi wrote "A Girl in the Car". Zi Liu's poem "Ju Xi". Han Xuanzi was very happy and said: "The State of Zheng is almost strong! Several ministers rewarded them in the name of the monarch, and the "Poems" they wrote were not outside the State of Zheng. They all expressed friendship. Several ministers have been ministers for several generations, so they can no longer be afraid." Han Xuanzi donated horses to them all and wrote "I will". Zichan thanked him, and asked the other five ministers to do the same, saying, "How dare you not express my gratitude for your kindness in calming the chaos!" Han Xuanzi paid a private visit to Zichan with a gift of jade and a horse, and said, "You ordered me to abandon that jade ring. This is a gift of gold, jade, and good words that saved me from death. How dare I not express my gratitude with this small gift!"
公至自晋。子服昭伯语季平子曰:“晋之公室,其将遂卑矣。君幼弱,六卿强而奢傲,将因是以习,习实为常,能无卑乎?” 平子曰:“尔幼,恶识国?”
From the Duke to the Jin Dynasty. Zifu Zhaobo said to Ji Pingzi: "In the Jin Dynasty, the generals are humble. The king is young and weak, and the six ministers are strong and extravagant. Because the generals are accustomed to practice and practice, how can they not be humble?" Pingzi said: "You are young, do you dislike the country?"
鲁昭公从晋国回到国内,子服昭伯对季平子说:“晋国的公室的地位恐怕将要降低了。国君年幼而力量微弱,六卿强大而奢侈骄傲,将要由此而成习惯。习惯而成自然,能够不降低吗?”季平子说:“你年轻,哪里懂得国家大事?”
When Lu Zhaogong returned from Jin, his son Fu Zhaobo said to Ji Pingzi: "I'm afraid the status of the Jin Dynasty's royal family will be lowered. The king is young and weak, and the six ministers are powerful but luxurious and proud. This will become a habit. Habits become natural, how can it not be lowered?" Ji Pingzi said: "You are young, how can you understand the important affairs of the country?"

In September, there is a big rain and drought. Zheng Dahan sent people to Sangshan for slaughter, blessings, and erection of edicts. Cut off the trees and there will be no rain. Zichan said: "If there is something going on in the mountains, there are mountains and forests, and if you cut down the trees, it will be a serious crime." Seize the official town.
九月,举行盛大的雩祭,这是由于发生了旱灾。郑国大旱,派屠击、祝款、竖柎祭祀桑山。砍去了山上的树木,不下雨。子产说:“祭祀山神,应当培育和保护山林,现在反而砍去山上的树木,他们的罪过就很大了。”于是就剥夺了他们的官爵和封邑。
In September, a grand festival was held, which was due to a drought. There was a severe drought in the state of Zheng, so they sent slaughterers, congratulators, and erected candles to offer sacrifices to Mulberry Mountain. The trees on the mountain were cut down and it stopped raining. Zichan said: "To worship the mountain gods, the mountains and forests should be cultivated and protected. But now they are cutting down the trees on the mountains. Their sin is very serious." So they were deprived of their official titles and fiefs.
冬十月,季平子如晋葬昭公。平子曰:“子服回之言犹信,子服氏有子哉!”
