35.87

Proportionate and slender (The first character is chǒng + lóng fanqie. Zheng's Commentary on the Mao Odes states: 'Yóng means even.' The Shuowen says: 'Even and straight.' It takes 'person' with yōng as phonetic. The second character is xiè + yán fanqie. Kong's Commentary on the Shangshu states: 'Xiān means slender.' The Guangya states: 'Minute.' Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli states: 'Small.' The Shuowen says it takes 'silk' with xiān as phonetic; xiān is pronounced the same as above. In the sūtra it is written with jié, which is incorrect).
