49.7

Burning down heterodox tenets (燎邪宗: the first has the two fanqie liao + diao and li + zhao; Zheng's commentary on the Mao Shi says: "Setting fire to a field is called liao." The Shuowen says: "To set fire." It derives from fire [火] and is a phono-semantic character. The second is xie + ye fan; the Wenzi jilüe says: "What is not straight and upright is called xie [perverse/crooked]." It is also a popular character; the standard form is written 袤, deriving from ya [牙] in the middle and yi [衣] above and below).
