當是時，鄒君死，湣王欲入弔，夷維子謂鄒之孤曰：『天子弔，主人必將倍殯棺，設北面於南方，然後天子南面弔也。』 At that time, the lord of Zou had just died, and King Min wished to offer condolences. Yi Weizi told the heir of Zou, 'When the Son of Heaven pays his condolences, the host must turn the coffin around, set up a north-facing position at the south end, and only then may the Son of Heaven face south to offer his condolences.'
