Book Ii. The Odes Of Sho And The South.

The
Sh and previous portions of the Shih have made us familiar with Sho, the name of the appanage of Shih, one of the principal ministers at the court of "K"u in the first two reigns of the dynasty. The site of the city of Sho was in the present department of Fng-"kh"iang, Shen-hs. The first possessor of it, along with the still more famous duke of "K"u, remained at court, to watch over the fortunes of the new dynasty. They were known as 'the highest dukes' and 'the two great chiefs,' the duke of "K"u having charge of the eastern portions of the kingdom, and the other of the western. The pieces in this Book are supposed to have been produced in Sho, and the principalities south of it within his jurisdiction, by the duke.
