37.41

Ruin and collapse (沮壞) (The upper character is qing + yu fan. The Zuo zhuan states: "沮 also means to be ruined." The Shuowen states: "Composed with 'water' [水] semantic and 且 phonetic." In the scripture text it is written with 'half meat' [i.e., meat radical] as 俎, which is erroneous. The lower character is huai + guai fan. The Kaosheng states: "To crumble and collapse; to be defeated." The Gujin zhengzi states: "To break of itself is called 壞. Composed with 'earth' [土] semantic and 褱 phonetic. Regarding the character 褱, the Shuowen says: 'Composed with 衣 semantic and 𥄳 semantic; 𥄳 is pronounced tan + he fan, composed of horizontal eyes on top'").
