Yeah, Baike says in the gloss for "The personator of your ancestors", in ancient times, during sacrifices, someone would dress as the ancestor to receive the sacrifice. This would be called 'shi' [dictionary: person representing the dead during funeral; corpse]; if the ancestor was a prince, it would be called 'gong shi'.
I am unsure where Legge gets heroic or intelligence from?? Not in the original text or mentioned in the Baike gloss AFAICT.
