57.24

Already divided (已分): The lower character is fu plus fen fan. Wang [Bi's] commentary on the Zhouyi says: 'Fen means separated.' Du [Yu's] commentary on the Zuo zhuan says: 'Fen is like pervading throughout.' Gu Yewang says: 'To analyze and separate.' Zheng [Xuan's] commentary on the Liji says: 'To discriminate and divide.' The Shuowen states: 'Takes "eight" (八) and "knife" (刀), meaning to partition things.' The scripture writes fen (份), pronounced bi plus pin fan, equivalent to bin (斌/彬), which is not the intended meaning in the scripture.
