29.64

Upholding greatness (秉大): Has the fanqie *bǐ* + *yǒng* (秉). The Mao commentary on the *Classic of Poetry* says: 'To hold.' Jia [Kui]'s commentary on the *Guoyu* says: 'To grasp.' The *Guangya* says: 'To hold.' The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: 'A bundle of grain. Derived from 又 (hand) holding 禾 (grain); an ideographic compound.' The scripture writes it with the water radical as 抦 [or other], which is incorrect.
