Pilgrimage - Junshu (English spelling) xun-shou; hsün-shou

Japanese: 巡狩 - じゅんしゅ（英語表記）xun-shou; hsün-shou

Also written as 'Shunshu'. In ancient China, the emperor would travel around the country, inspecting the political affairs of each state while training his troops by hunting. Shun is said to have completed his tour every five years, but what is famous in history is that the First Emperor of Qin, after unifying the country, traveled around various places, holding festivals in the mountains and rivers and erecting stone inscriptions recording the events, thereby demonstrating the virtue of the Qin dynasty.

巡守とも書く。古代中国で，天子が天下をめぐって狩猟による練兵のかたわら，諸国の政治を視察したことをいう。舜は，5年ごとに一巡したと伝えられるが，歴史上著名なのは，秦の始皇帝が天下統一以後各地をめぐって，山川の祭りを行うとともにその次第を記した刻石を建て，秦の徳を威示したことである。
