29.74

Tread and step (履踐): The upper character is pronounced *lǐ* (履). Zheng [Xuan]'s commentary on the *Liji* says: 'To tread upon the ground and walk.' The *Shuowen [jiezi]* says: 'That upon which the foot relies. Derived from 尸, 彳, and 夂; 夂 signifies walking; derived from 舟, which resembles a shoe.' The scripture's variant with 復 is incorrect. The lower character has the fanqie *qián* + *jiǎn* (踐); its definition is the same as the above.
