under the sovereigns of Xia, they surrounded these with an enclosure of bricks.
The people of Yin used wooden coffins, the outer and inner.
They of Zhou added the surrounding curtains and the feathery ornaments.
The people of Zhou buried those who died between 16 and 19 in the coffins of Yin;
those who died between 12 and 15 or between 8 and 11 in the brick enclosures of Xia;
and those who died (still younger), for whom no mourning is worn, in the earthenware enclosures of the time of the lord of Yu.
