There are two competing theories about the prince’s age. The first takes account of his repeated illnesses and proposes that he had already reached middle age. The second focuses on the habitual rate of divinations about “practicing/training” (xue 學) and suggests that he was between the ages of 15 and 20. Nevertheless “practic- ing” in advance of a performance does not imply age, and besides, xue 學also meant to instruct.106 The prince had several children, played a lead role in ancestor worship,107 issued commands to other royal family members and to military person- nel, had strong relationships with elite lineages, and his access to abundant im- ports, commodities, and large numbers of livestock and horses. These all suggest he was older than a teenager.
