Abstract:
Injustice of King Jin Linggong is a famous article in Zuo Zhuan, and is collected in more text books of ancient Chinese than one. However, the paraphrase in most text books of sentences “If my majesty has a good start and end, our country will be stable and safe” and “ZHAN Dun let him eat them up and asked for another basket of meat and rice” is far from satisfaction. From the syntactic features of ancient Chinese, the paper has reexamined the meanings of two words “gu” and “wei” with reference to the sound and meaning of words concerned. And it has pointed that “gu” does not mean solid and it should be “hu”, meaning blessing. And “Wei” has nothing to with “doing” and it should be understood as “giving or donating”.
