The Presenting of Officers (Lu, 4b-5a; Ch'ên, 12.16b-17b).

Once in three years the Feudal Lords present officers to the Son of Heaven, while the Son of Heaven solicits them (Yüeh ling).

Besides the presenting of officers by the Feudal Lords there is the solicitation by the Son of Heaven in order that those who were overlooked by the Feudal Lords may be brought forward.
