2Historian's comment — from when is the first year counted
論曰：人君即位，踰年稱元，其法詳於《春秋》，此先王不刊之典也。《伊訓》曰：「成湯旣沒，太甲元年。」《正義》曰：「成湯旣沒，其歲即太甲元年。」然《孟子》曰：「湯崩，太丁未立，外丙二年，仲壬四年。」則疑若《尙書》之脫簡，而《正義》之誤說也。或曰：「古者人君即位，或踰月稱元年，或踰年而稱元年。踰月而稱元年者，成湯旣沒，太甲元年是也。《孟子》云：「太丁未立」者，謂太丁未立而死也。外丙二年、仲壬四年
Kim Busik comments.
When a ruler ascends the throne, the first year is counted from the year after. The rule is set out in full in the Chunqiu, and it is a law the former kings fixed so that it could not be altered. The Yi xun (伊訓) says, "Cheng Tang had died, and it was the first year of Tai Jia." The Zhengyi (正義) says, "Cheng Tang had died, and that same year was the first year of Tai Jia."
Yet the Mengzi says, "Tang died. Tai Ding did not take the throne. Wai Bing was two years, Zhong Ren four years." One may suspect, then, that a slip is missing from the Shangshu, or that the account in the Zhengyi is mistaken.
Some say this. "In old times, when a ruler ascended the throne, some counted the first year from the month after and some from the year after. Counting the first year from the month after is the case where Cheng Tang died and it was the first year of Tai Jia. When the Mengzi says 'Tai Ding did not take the throne,' it means that Tai Ding died without taking the throne. As for Wai Bing being two years and Zhong Ren four years,
3Historian's comment — continued
者，皆謂太丁之子太甲二兄，或生二年，或生四年而死，太甲所以得繼湯耳。《史記》便謂此仲壬、外丙爲二君，誤也。由前則以先君終年卽位稱元，非是，由後則可謂得商人之禮者矣。」
it means that both were sons of Tai Ding and elder brothers of Tai Jia, and that one died two years after he was born and the other four years after he was born, so that Tai Jia was able to succeed Tang. The Shiji is wrong to take this Zhong Ren and Wai Bing straight off as two rulers.
By the first account, a ruler takes the throne in the year his predecessor died and calls it the first year, which is not right. By the second, one may say that the rite of the people of Shang has been grasped."
4First year — Nangnang surrounds Geumseong
元年秋七月，樂浪兵至，圍金城數重。王謂左右曰：「二聖弃國，孤以國人推戴，謬居於位，危懼若涉川水。今鄰國來侵，是孤之不德也，爲之若何？」左右對曰：「賊幸我有喪，妄以兵來，天必不祐，不足畏也。」賊俄而果退。三年春正月，立始祖廟。冬十月丙辰朔，日有食之。
In the first year, in autumn, the seventh month, the troops of Nangnang came and surrounded Geumseong in several rings. The king said to those about him, "The two sages have left the country, and I hold this place wrongly, raised up by the people of the country. I am in danger and afraid, as though I were crossing a stream. Now a neighboring country comes to raid us, and this is because I lack virtue. What should be done?" Those about him answered, "The enemy counts our time of mourning his good fortune and has sent out troops rashly. Heaven will surely not help him. There is nothing to fear." Before long the enemy did indeed withdraw.
