雜記下 - Za Ji II

English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
[Also known as: "Miscellaneous records II"]

136 雜記下:
路寢成則考之而不釁。釁屋者,交神明之道也。凡宗廟之器。其名者成則釁之以豭豚
Za Ji II:
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.
