路寝成则考之而不衅。衅屋者，交神明之道也。凡宗庙之器。其名者成则衅之以豭豚。

When the great apartment (of the palace) was completed, it was inaugurated (by a feast), but there was no shedding of blood. The consecration by blood of the temple building was the method taken to show how intercourse with the spirits was sought. All the more distinguished vessels of the ancestral temple were consecrated, when completed, by the blood of a young boar.
