The Di replied,
'(According to the rules for) the regulation of divination, one should first make up his mind,
and afterwards refer (his judgment) to the great tortoise-shell.
My mind (in this matter) was determined in the first place;
I consulted and deliberated with all (my ministers and people), and they were of one accord with me.
The spirits signified their assent,
and the tortoise-shell and divining stalks concurred.
。」Divination, when fortunate, should not be repeated.'
Yu did obeisance with his head to the ground,
and firmly declined (the place).
