27.130

Instructed and commanded (jiaozhao): (The first character is gu + xiao [jiào], meaning to instruct and train. The second character is zhao + yao [zhào]. The Zilin says: "Zhao means to inform." The Erya says: "Zhao means to guide." Guo Pu says: it means to teach and guide. The Shiming says: "Zhao means to illuminate; when people are in the dark regarding accomplishing affairs and thus make errors, one reveals it with this to let them clearly know its source." Some editions have jiaozhao [教招]; jiao has no level tone, and zhao means to entice and lead forward).
