23.237

"Market stalls, shops, and neighboring hamlets" (廛 [market stall] has the fanqie chu + lian. Zheng's commentary on the Rites states: "廛 refers to storehouses for market goods"; meaning wards and inns where traveling merchants lodge. The Great Commentary to the Classic of Documents states: "Eight households make a lin; three lin make a peng; three peng make a li; five li make an yi. This was the system of the Yu and Xia dynasties." For the character 廛, sutra manuscripts that write it with the radical 厂 are erroneous).
