Hunched and bent (曲僂: [僂 is] *li* and *ju* *fanqie* [= *lü*]; the *Tongsu wen* says: "A bent back is *youlü* (hunchbacked);" the tripod inscription of Song in the *Spring and Autumn Annals* says: 'At the first appointment, hunched (僂); at the second appointment, bent (傴); at the third appointment, bowed low (俯);' Du Yu says: 'Bowing low is more respectful than bending; bending is more respectful than hunching; as ranks increase, one bends one's body in respect all the more;' in the treatise text it is written as 軁 or as 瘻, both of which are incorrect).
