Tallying calculations (籌策: the first character has the fanqie ch[áng] + [li]ú; Zheng's commentary on the Yili says: "Chou (籌) means tally-calculation." Zheng's commentary on the Liji says: "Chou means arrows [used as tally-counters]." The Shiji says: "Borrow the chopsticks in front of us to tally (chou) this for the Great King"; and "devising stratagems (chouce) within the commander's tent." The Shuowen says it has the bamboo radical and the phonetic shou (壽). The second character has the fanqie ch[ǔ] + [g]è; it is also written as 筴; the Shenglei says: "Ce (筴) means tally." Zheng Xuan says: "Chopsticks; ce also means counting-tallies." The Fangyan says: "Between northern Yan, Chaoxian, and the Lieshui, small tree branches are called ce." Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: "Ce means plan." Character dictionaries say: "Ce means calculating plans." Confucius said: "In cautioning regarding affairs, first attend to tallying them." It is also written as 拺 with the hand radical. The Shuowen says it has the bamboo radical and ci (朿); ci has the fanqie c[ǐ] + [z]ì; jia (夾) has the sound jia (甲), also with the bamboo radical).
