11.17

潰旅 (The upper character is h-[ui]-w-[ai] fan. Mao's Commentary on the Poetry says: '潰 means chaotic.' The Gongyang zhuan says: 'Insubordination from below.' The Guliang zhuan says: 'When superiors and inferiors are at odds, it is called 潰.' The Zuo zhuan says: 'Fleeing people; applied to superiors it is called 潰, to inferiors it is called 逃.' The Shuowen jiezi says: '潰 means leaking.' The lower character is l-[i]-j-[u] fan. Kong's commentary on the Book of Documents says: '旅 means a multitude.' The Rites of Zhou states that five hundred men form a brigade (旅). Zheng Xuan says: 'When an army marches out, it is called drilling troops; when it returns, it is called mustering the brigade.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'It derives from 㫃, y-[u]-j-[ian] fan, and from 從 [follow], an ancient form of 從, forming 旅.' The vulgar usage deriving from 衣 [clothing] as 旅 is incorrect).
