attested in history
Regarding the incident of Western Rong breaking Haojing, the Records of the Grand Historian, 'Annals of Qin', records it clearly: 'Western Rong rebelled against the royal house, and destroyed the clan of Daluo in Quanqiu.' The retrospective of the characters in Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, Chapter 25, also coincides with this: 'Li Ji said: "In the past, King You did not kill Yijiu, but exiled him to Shen. The Marquis of Shen summoned Quanrong, killed King You at the foot of Mount Li, and established Yijiu as ruler, who was King Ping, the founder of the Eastern Zhou."
