59.106

Exposed and uncovered (敞露): Chi and zhang fan. The Cang Jie pian says: 'Chang means high and prominent.' The Shuowen says: 'A leveled, high, and large place from which one can look far.' The Vinaya text writes it as 閶, pronounced chang; in the Chu ci it refers to the Gate of Heaven, and it is also the name of the west wind; 閶 is not the right meaning.
