The Liji says: "The tortoise shell is for bǔ, and the yarrow stalks are for shì. Divination by tortoise and yarrow is that by which one resolves doubts and settles hesitation; hence when there is doubt, one divines by yarrow." The character is formed from "bamboo" \[竹\] and "shaman" \[巫\]. Divining by yarrow involves sorting the yarrow stalks to obtain hexagrams, splitting bamboo to make the lines; therefore the character is formed from "bamboo." 揲 has two fanqie: 食列 \[shé\] and 余列 \[yè\]). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 67.249](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.67.249) - [Next: 67.251](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.67.251) - [Up: 67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.67) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.67.250) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.67.250](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.67.250) · Pramāṇa
