It will not per- sist; (he) is not going to die. 123 Divined on Wuzi, at Fu, tested: (He) might die. 123 Divined on Wuzi, at Fu: Ao’s words said that tomorrow viand service should be held in the old guesthouse.498 It really should. Used. 1 497 Lin Yun (2007) reads this name as Qu, family head of Bu 不 (lineage). While this is certain- ly possible, I read Bu here as a phonetic spelling of Pou 剖, who was one of the protagonist’s brothers or cousins. I read zi 子in its primary sense of “child”, and Qu* (reading uncertain) as the child’s name. HYZ 275+517 is a divination about whether Pou’s “woman” would die. For the graph read qu 曲, see 228.15. 498 See the commentary to 312.2 for the location of Ao. This divination suggests that a member of the Ao lineage served the royal family and knew about plans in preparation for a ritual activity. The HYZ prince was often responsible with overseeing viand service for ritual activities performed collectively; see HYZ 495.1. Ao transmitting a message here to the prince, presuma- bly from the king (Yao Xuan 2005: 60), suggests that the content of the message was the result of a previous divination done by someone else. The prince’s divination, which was made either by the prince himself or on behalf of him by one of his diviners, determined that the statement was indeed accurate. HYZ 353 | 313
