Profile
Xu Jilong was the Prefect of Qinghe County. In the Records he appears once, in the account of Guan Lu in the Biographies of Technicians in Records of Wei 29, where he is recorded as the man who had Guan Lu divine with yarrow stalks what would be caught in a hunt and what thirteen kinds of objects had been placed in a large chest. Records, Wei 29 §80
The main text of Chen Shou does not record his courtesy name, origins, dates of birth and death or any other deeds. In the assessment of the Biographies of Technicians, Chen Shou counted Guan Lu's divination among the mysterious and extraordinary skills, but said nothing separately about Xu Jilong. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wei 29 §80 · 86
In the Records
While he was Prefect of Qinghe, Xu Jilong had men go hunting and had Guan Lu divine with yarrow stalks what they would catch. Guan Lu said that they would catch a small beast, not a bird fit for eating; it would have claws and teeth, but small and not strong, and markings, but dense and not bright; it would be neither a tiger nor a pheasant, and its name would be the wildcat. The hunters came back in the evening, and it was just as Guan Lu had said. Records, Wei 29 §80
Xu Jilong next placed thirteen kinds of objects in a large chest and had Guan Lu guess them. Guan Lu said that there were thirteen kinds of objects jumbled together in the vessel, and named them one by one, first a hen's egg and then a silkworm chrysalis, except only that he called a comb a fine-toothed comb. This passage is the only place in the main text of Chen Shou where Xu Jilong appears. Records, Wei 29 §80
