周公(Thence) the Grand Guardian went before the duke of Zhou to survey the locality (of the new capital);
and in the third month,
on the day Wu-shen, the third day after the first appearance of the moon on Bing-wu,
he came in the morning to Luo.
He divined by the tortoiseshell about the (several) localities,
and having obtained favourable indications,
he set about laying out the plan (of the city).
On Geng-xu, the third day after,
he led the people of Yin to prepare the various sites on the north of the Luo;
and this work was completed on Jia-yin, the fifth day after.
