Famous Story
### Rongcheng Bo Also known as Rong Ji'e and also named Luan. He was a high - ranking official in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period and the son of Gongsun Yingqi. According to "Zuo Zhuan", when Duke Xiang of Lu returned from the State of Chu and heard that Ji Wuzhi had attacked Bian (the fief of Lu Zhuangzi), he didn't want to enter the city. Rongcheng Bo recited "Shi Wei", and then Duke Xiang returned. Moreover, the Ji family bore a grudge against Duke Zhao. After Duke Zhao died, he should have been buried in Kan (now southwest of Wenshang County, Shandong Province), the burial place of the previous dukes of Lu. Ji Sun wanted to isolate Duke Zhao's tomb so that he wouldn't be buried with the former sovereigns. Rongcheng Bo said, "You couldn't serve him when he was alive, and now you want to separate him from the ancestors after his death to show off your power. Even if you can bear it, someone will surely be ashamed of it in the future." Ji Sun also wanted to give Duke Zhao a bad posthumous title. Rongcheng Bo said, "You couldn't serve him when he was alive, and now you want to slander him after his death to prove your own point. What's the use of it?" Then Ji Sun gave up. ### Rong Guang With the courtesy name Wangsun, he was a native of the State of Lu in the Han Dynasty.
