22.33

Jie wu xiadian 皆無瑕玷 [all without flaw or blemish] (Xia 瑕 is pronounced xing + jia [xiá]; dian 玷 is pronounced ding + nian [diàn]. The Guangya says: 'Xia 瑕 means a fissure.' The Mao Commentary on the Shijing says: 'Dian 玷 means a defect.' When any object has a fault, it is like the flaw or blemish of jade; this has been a common idiom since antiquity).
