51.40

"To deliberate and measure" (Fanqie: 紂 + 流 [chóu]. Zheng's commentary on the Yili says: '籌 means to calculate.' The Shiji says: 'Borrowing chopsticks to plan for the Great King' and 'devising strategies within the tent of command'; this is it. The Shuowen jiezi states that it derives from the bamboo radical with 壽 as phonetic).
