6.96

Shift and move (遷動: the first is pronounced with the fanqie 淺錢 [qiān]. The Mao Commentary on the Classic of Poetry says: "Qian means to depart; also to follow." Jia's commentary on the Guoyu says: "To change." Zheng's commentary on the Book of Rites says: "To alter and change." The Shuowen says: "To ascend; deriving from 辵 with 䙴 as phonetic." In ancient script it is written with 'hand' as 𢲸. In the sūtra it is written as 遷, a vulgar form. 䙴 is pronounced qiān. As for the second character, dòng, Li Si wrote it on the Mount Yi Stele with 'child' [童] as 勭; in ancient script it is written with 彳 as 㣫; the Shuowen also has it with 'run' [走] as 𧽿; all are identical).
