45.117

Teacher's fist (師捲: [捲] is also written 拳, identical; qu plus yuan fanqie [quán]. Clenching the fingers makes a fist (juan). This is a metaphor meaning that a master shaping things is not like a closed fist holding tight, begrudging and not letting go. In the treatise text there is a variant writing with juan [倦] as in fatigue, which is an error).
