67.89

忼慨 (The first character has the fanqie pronunciation 苦 + 朗 [kǎng]. The second character has the fanqie pronunciation 開 + 愛 [kǎi]. Gu Yewang says that 忼慨 means 'disappointed in one's ambitions'. He also says that 忼慨 means 'indignantly robust, sighing with regret and lamentation'; it is also written as the character 愾. The Wenzidian shuo says that 忼慨 means 'sorrowful and indignant'; both characters have the radical 心 with 亢 and 既 as their respective phonetic elements. In the treatise text they are written as 慷愷, which is incorrect).
