公劉 - Gong Liu

English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
5 公劉:
篤公劉、既溥既長、
既景迺岡、相其陰陽、
觀其流泉、其軍三單。
度其隰原、徹田為糧
度其夕陽、豳居允荒。
Gong Liu:
Of generous devotion to the people was duke Liu,
[His territory] being now broad and long,
He determined the points of the heavens by means of the shadows; and then, ascending the ridges,
He surveyed the light and the shade,
Viewing [also] the [course of the] streams and springs.
His armies were three troops;
He measured the marshes and plains;
He fixed the revenue on the system of common cultivation of the fields;
He measured also the fields west of the hills;
And the settlement of Bin became truly great.
