25.27

'Shedding tears and weeping' [涕泣] (The first character has the fanqie ta + li [tì], a falling-tone character. The Yupian says: 'Tears from the eyes.' If pronounced tì meaning nasal mucus, that is incorrect. Qì 泣 has the fanqie qin + li [qì], meaning weeping without sound with tears flowing).
