牧之野,武王之大事也。 | The field of Mu-ye was the great achievement of king Wu. |
既事而退,柴於上帝,祈於社,設奠於牧室。遂率天下諸侯,執豆籩,逡奔走;追王大王亶父、王季歷、文王昌;不以卑臨尊也。 | When he withdrew after the victory, he reared a burning pile to God; prayed at the altar of the earth; and set forth his offerings in the house of Mu. He then led all the princes of the kingdom, bearing his offerings in their various stands, and hurrying about, and carried the title of king back to Tai who was Dan-fu, Ji-li, and king Wen who was Chang - he would not approach his honourable ancestors with their former humbler titles. |
