莊子卒，子康子代。 Zhuangzi was succeeded by his son Kangzi.

康子與趙襄子、魏桓子共敗知伯，分其地，地益大，大於諸侯。 Kangzi, together with Zhao Xiangzi and Wei Huanzi, defeated Zhi Bo, divided his territory among themselves, and so their domains grew ever larger—surpassing those of many feudal lords.

康子卒，子武子代。 At Kangzi's death, his son Wuzi succeeded him.
