virtue over many generations and thereby laid the foundation for raising a
new dynasty. They have done good things to help people, and that has led to
a series of happy occasions to celebrate. As the headwaters were distant and
the current of the waters shined all the way down, the royal family was
finally able to achieve the great work of founding a new dynasty, producing
offspring distinguished in talent and wisdom. The assistance of Heaven to
the men of virtue was quite extreme.
