十六、示在內官。「宮女」者，若準此方，如《周禮》云「天子后立六宮，三夫人，九嬪，二十七世婦，八十一御妻。」鄭注云「前一宮，後五宮也。五者，后一宮、三夫人一宮、九嬪一宮、二十七世婦一宮、八十一御妻一宮。后正位宮闈，體同天王。夫人坐論婦禮，九嬪掌教四德，世婦之知喪祭賓客，女御序王之燕寢。漢制後宮凡十四等，謂昭儀、婕妤、娙（五形反）娥、容華、美人、八子、充衣、七子、良人、長使、少使、五官、順常、無涓，此十四等也。」班固《西都賦》曰「後宮之號，十有四位。」蓋謂此矣。「內生邪想」者，肇云「妖媚邪飾，女人之情，故誨以正直。」「四八道」者，四教八正道也。

Sixteenth, manifesting among palace attendants. Regarding 'palace women': if following the standards of this land, as the Rites of Zhou states: 'The Queen of the Son of Heaven establishes six palaces: three ladies, nine concubines, twenty-seven hereditary wives, and eighty-one concubine-consorts.' Zheng's Commentary states: 'One palace in front, and five palaces in the rear. The five are: one palace for the Queen, one palace for the three ladies, one palace for the nine concubines, one palace for the twenty-seven hereditary wives, and one palace for the eighty-one concubine-consorts. The Queen occupies the rightful position in the inner chambers, her status matching the Heavenly King. The ladies sit and discuss women's ritual deportment, the nine concubines manage instruction in the four virtues, the hereditary wives attend to mourning, sacrifices, and guests, and the concubine-consorts arrange the royal bedchamber. The Han system had fourteen ranks of the rear palace in all: namely, zhaoyi, jieyu, xing'e, ronghua, meiren, bazi, chongyi, qizi, liangren, changshi, shaoshi, wuguan, shunchang, and wujuan; these are the fourteen ranks.' Ban Gu's "Rhapsody on the Western Capital" states: 'The titles of the rear palace numbered fourteen ranks.' This is precisely what is meant. 'Internally giving rise to depraved thoughts': Sengzhao states: 'Alluring bewitchment and depraved adornment are the disposition of women; hence he instructed them with rectitude.' 'The four eightfold paths' refers to the eightfold noble paths of the four teachings.
