Chapter 11 — Liu Bei Rescues Kong Rong At Beihai; Lu Bu Defeats Cao Cao Near Puyang.
The great Teacher, ancestor of Kong Rong in the twentieth generation - and the hinge of the boy's famous retort: Confucius once questioned Laozi about ceremonies, so the families had 'known each other for generations'.
Chapter 23 — Mi Heng Slips His Garment And Rails At Traitors; Ji Ping Pledges To Kill The Prime Minister.
Mi Heng's measuring stick: he claims Confucius's virtue for himself, and casts Cao Cao as Yang Huo, the man who belittled the sage.

Quoted twice by Lady Wu on the reality of spiritual beings - her scripture for making Sun Ce pray at the Jade Pure Monastery after Yu Ji's death.

Quoted by Water Mirror to rebuke Liu Bei's despair of finding talent: 'In a hamlet of ten households there must be one true person.'

Invoked in the mutual flattery Chi Lu reports as sedition: 'Confucius is not dead, because Kong Rong is he.'
