1.74

Shendian (ting-xian fan; Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Zhouli says: "Dian is like tian (field); it is the field cultivated to serve the Son of Heaven"; Kong's commentary on the Shangshu says: "The territory within a square of one thousand li is called the dianfu, extending five hundred li on each of the four sides of the royal city"; what is nowadays called jidian [capital domain] is precisely this; ji is pronounced qi).
