1044 K'ung Fang-shu 孔防叔. Son of K'ung Ch'i, and great grandfather of Confucius. In order to escape the enmity of the descendants of Hua Tu (see K'ung Ch'i), he fled to and settled in the State of Lu, where he became Magistrate of Fang. Hence his name. His tablet stands in the Confucian Temple among ancestors glorified as sages.
