問答中。此兩重問，並謂以開難制；兩答不同，在文可見。言二六者，一月五月中間兼閏，則二月六月也。一月中局閏七月，五月中通含七八九十十一五箇月也。開犯獲利，故云奢法。問：雨衣亦開，何攝閏者？答：熱時須用，有益無損，故不同也。

In the question and answer: these two levels of questioning both use exceptions to challenge the prohibitions; the two answers are distinct, as seen in the text. 'Two and six' means that between the first month and the fifth month, including the leap month, there are two months and six months. Within the one month, it is restricted to an intercalary seventh month; within the five months, it broadly encompasses five months: the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh months. Exempting from offenses and securing benefits is why it is called a lenient rule. Question: 'The rains-garments are also an exception; why do they subsume the leap month?' Answer: 'They are needed during the hot season, having benefit without detriment, so they are not the same.'
