王用亨于

A formal ritual act of sacrifice or presentation performed by a sovereign toward a sacred power, deity, or location.

Structure: [Agent] → [Action Marker] → [Ritual Verb] → [Directional Preposition]. This is an open formula that remains grammatically incomplete without the object following the preposition 于.

While 亨 (hēng) commonly denotes "success" or "smoothness," in this construction it functions as a transitive ritual verb meaning "to offer" or "to sacrifice," semantically linked to 享 (xiǎng). The sense of "success" is the intended result of the act, not the definition of the action itself.

The marker 用 (yòng) signals the initiation of a prescribed formal act; it may be rendered explicitly ("proceeds to," "now performs") or absorbed into the main verb for conciseness. The translator must identify the specific entity or place named immediately after 于 to complete the sense.
