Editing with brush and knife (The "Biography of Wei Qing and Huo Guang" in the *Hanshu* says: "Where deletion was due, he pared it away; where writing was due, he took up the brush." The commentary on sounds and meanings says: "*Xiao* means to prune and remove; *bi* means to supplement and add." Another source says: "To edit books, collate them, carve away errors, and add notes is called *bixiao*").
