Yanzi stated that the ancient people who lived here were of the Pugu clan. Du Yu said there is a Pugu city north of Bochang County in Le'an. I observe that the text of the Commentary does not contain this sentence; Du Yu's commentary is in the ninth year of Duke Zhao, not the twenty-second. It has now been corrected to the ninth year of Duke Zhao: When King Wu conquered the Shang, Pugu and Shangyan were our eastern lands. Du Yu's commentary states there is a Pugu city north of Bochang County in Le'an.
