箕子The count of Qi thereupon replied,
'I have heard that in old time
Gun dammed up the inundating waters,
and thereby threw into disorder the arrangement of the five elements.
God was consequently roused to anger,
and did not give him the Great Plan with its nine divisions,
and thus the unvarying principles (of Heaven's method) were allowed to go to ruin.
Gun was therefore kept a prisoner till his death,
and his son Yu rose up (and entered on the same undertaking).
To him Heaven gave the Great Plan with its nine divisions,
and the unvarying principles (of its method) were set forth in their due order.'
