11.29

混車書 (The upper character is h-[un]-w-[en] fan. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A vast flow.' We observe that a vast flow is 'mingling' (混), flowing together without distinction. 車 is pronounced j-[iang]-y-[u] fan. We observe that 'carriages' refers to axle tracks, while 'writings' refers to characters, tallies, and seals. To speak of 'unifying carriages and writings' means that across the world axle tracks are identical and characters without divergence, sharing one royal transformation and taking the four seas as home).
