Book VIII.
*26. Chap. I. Ju-tsêng [OMITTED] (Exaggerations of the Literati).
Wang Ch`ung goes on to criticise some old traditions:—on the
abolition of punishments under Yao and Shun, on the wonderful
shooting of Yang Yu Chi and Hsiung Ch`ü Tse, on the skill of Lu Pan,
on Ching K`o's attempt upon Shih Huang Ti's life, on the miracles
connected with the Nine Tripods of the Chou dynasty, etc.
27. Chap. II. Yi-tsêng [OMITTED].
People are fond of the marvellous and of exaggerations, in
witness whereof passages are quoted from the Shuking, the Shiking,
the Yiking, the Lun-yü, and the Ch`un-ch`iu.
