3.101

技藝 (the upper character is *qú* + *qǐ* [fanqie: jì]; the Shuowen jiezi says: "Skill or cleverness; derived from 'shǒu' (hand)"; the sūtra writing it with 'rén' (person) is an error. The lower character is *ní* + *jì* [fanqie: yì]; the Zhouli speaks of the six arts: rites, music, writing, reckoning, archery, and charioteering. Gu Yewang says: "'Yì' is like ability or talent." Du Yu says: "'Yì' means rules and institutions." The Zishu says: "Skill and ability; derived from 'yún' with 'yì' (蓻) as phonetic"; 'yì' (蓻) has the same pronunciation as above).
