Ran Yong

Ran Yong (Chinese: 冉雍; Wade–Giles: Jan Yung; 522 BC – ?), also known by his courtesy name Zhonggong (Chinese: 仲弓; Wade–Giles: Chung-kung), was one of the prominent disciples of Confucius. Confucius thought highly of his excellent moral conduct, and considered him fit to be the ruler of a state.[1] After completing school, he served as chief officer of Jisun, the noble clan that dominated the politics of Lu.[1]

Ran Yong was a native of the State of Lu. He was 29 years younger than Confucius, and was from the same clan as Ran Geng and Ran Qiu, two other prominent disciples of Confucius. He was of the same age as Ran Qiu.[2] He was known for his moral integrity, despite being born to a father of lowly status, and Confucius declared that his background would not detract from his excellence.[2][3] He was said to be not an eloquent speaker.[4]

In Confucian temples, Ran Yong's spirit tablet is placed the second among the Twelve Wise Ones, on the east.[2]

Ran Yong's offspring held the title of Wujing Boshi (五經博士; Wǔjīng Bóshì).[5]

gollark: Something like `{"tracks": [{"title": "bee movie full soundtrack", "start": 0, "end": 600000}] }`, while odd-looking, is valid JSON.

gollark: All the parser implementations around should accept that as valid, and you can use a fixed amount of size.

gollark: Okay, very hacky but technically workable: have an XTMF metadata block of a fixed size, and after the actual JSON data, instead of just ending it with a `}`, have enough spaces to fill up the remaining space then a `}`.

gollark: XTMF was not really designed for this use case, so it'll be quite hacky. What you can do is leave a space at the start of the tape of a fixed size, and stick the metadata at the start of that fixed-size region; the main problem is that start/end locations are relative to the end of the metadata, not the start of the tape, so you'll have to recalculate the offsets each time the metadata changes size. Unfortunately, I just realized now that the size of the metadata can be affected by what the offset is.

gollark: The advantage of XTMF is that your tapes would be playable by any compliant program for playback, and your thing would be able to read tapes from another program.
