32.161

肴膳 ('delicacies and feasts'; the upper character is pronounced 効 [xiào] + 交 [jiāo] fanqie. Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: '肴 [yáo] refers to meats in the sacrificial vessels.' The Mao Shi commentary says: '肴 [yáo] is the contents of the dou vessel.' Zheng's commentary says: 'Contents of the pickled vegetables in the dou vessel refer to pickles and minced meat. Generally, what is eaten that is not grain is called 肴 [yáo].' The lower character is pronounced 禪 [chán] + 戰 [zhàn] fanqie. Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli says: '膳 [shàn] expresses good/choice.' It is now written with 肉 ['meat'] and 爻 or 善. Fine seasonal foodstuffs are called "precious meals" [珍膳]. His commentary on the Yili also says: '膳 [shàn] is like to offer/present.' The Shuowen says: 'Prepared food.' Both are composed of 肉 ['meat'] with 爻 and 善 respectively serving as phonetic. In the sūtra text, writing 肴 with 爻 as 殽, and 膳 with 食 as 善, are both erroneous).
