6.66

Guilty conscience (釁心: the first is pronounced with the fanqie 昕靳 [xìn]. The Zuo zhuan says: "Xin means fault; a blemish or fissure." The Shuowen says: "Depicting consecrating a stove by anointing it with sacrificial blood; deriving from 酉 [yǒu, meaning wine] and an abbreviated 爨, with 分 as phonetic." In the sūtra it is written with 且 as 舋, a vulgar usage that does not form a valid character).
