"Records of the Historian · Jin Aristocratic Family": Cheng Wang and Shu Yu play, cutting Tong Ye for Gui and Shu Yu, said "this piece is sealed if". Shi Yi, please choose Hitachi Shu Yu. Cheng Wang said, "I play with him." Shi Yi said: "The emperor has no jokes. Words are written in history, rituals and songs." At the end of the 11th century BC, young Zhou Cheng Wang Ji sang and his younger brother Shu Yu were playing together in the back garden of the palace. Cheng Wang picked up a piece of sycamore leaf on the ground at will, cut it into the shape of Yu Gui, and said to Shu Yu in a serious way: "Yu Di, this is a piece of Yu Gui. Now I give it to you, and you can be a vassal with this seal." Shu Yu also took the tung leaf kowtow and thanked him as if it were true, expressing his acceptance of the king's reward. The historian officer who followed him recorded the scene at that time without a word, and reminded Cheng Wang when he went to court the next day whether he should choose a day to canonize Uncle Yu. Cheng Wang was stunned and said disapprovingly, "That was my child's play with Brother Yu, how could he take it seriously!" The historian said sincerely and seriously, "The emperor has no joke. Since he said that he would make Tongye a prince, he must write it to Jane, put it in the book, and honor it through a certain ceremony. Only when he did what he said can he win the trust of his subjects!" Therefore, King Cheng of Zhou held a canonization ceremony on the auspicious day of his choosing, and announced to the world that his uncle was named Tang Shuyu.
