84.4

Gujin yijing tuji, Fascicle 1

84.5

角試 (the upper character is jiang and yue in fanqie. The Liji says: "In the first month of winter, practice martial arts, train in archery and charioteering, and contest in physical strength [jueli]." Gu Yewang says: "Contesting in physical strength means vying for victory or defeat." The Lüshi chunqiu says: "Contest [jue] and test." The Hanshu says: "To contest in strength and resist them." In the Tuji it is written with 車 [cart] and 交 as 較, which is inappropriate for this context. The Mao commentary to the Shijing says: "An ornament of a grandee's carriage." The Shuowen says: "A curved hook above the chariot railing." Although traditionally transmitted and used, it is a gross error. The lower character is shi and er in fanqie. The Shuowen says: "To try and use." The Book of Yu says: "Clearly testing them through achievements." It is composed of 言 [speech] with 式 phonetic.)

84.6

愧忸 (the lower character is nv and liu in fanqie. Jia Kui's commentary to the Guoyu says: "忸怩 means a shameful expression visible on the countenance." The Shuowen says: "Shame in the heart." It is composed of 心 [heart] with 丑 phonetic. 怩 is pronounced ni.)

84.7

婕妤 (the upper character is jian and ye in fanqie; the lower character is yu and zhu in fanqie. The Shenglei says: "Received in favor; an official title for women." According to investigation, jieyu in the Han dynasty was the title for favored imperial concubines. The Shuowen says: "Female characters." Both are phono-semantic characters; also written as 健嬩.)

84.8

覘見 (the upper character is chi and yan in fanqie. Du's commentary to the Zuo zhuan says: "覘 means to spy." The Shuowen says: "To watch for." It is composed of 見 [see] with 占 phonetic.)

84.9

番禺 (the upper character is pronounced pan; the lower character is pronounced yu. The name of a county in Guangzhou.)

84.10

䢼亭湖 (the upper character is pronounced gong. This is the name of Lake Dongting. Originally it had no standard character. In the Jinshu, the biography of Guo Pu writes it as 䢼亭. In the present Yijing tuji, it is written with the person radical as 䣏亭, which is a scribal error. Common tradition today calls it Lake Gongting; this is perhaps an erroneous dialectal pronunciation of Wu and Chu, making it difficult to establish with certainty. This is indeed Lake Dongting. According to investigation, Cao's Junguozhi states that it is located in Yuzhang commandery of Hongzhou. From antiquity, its origins have rarely been investigated thoroughly; here we briefly explain it according to the text at hand.)

84.11

讚唄 (the upper character is zi and qie in fanqie. The Fangyan says: "讚 means to explain." Guo Pu's commentary says: "讚 and 頌 are that by which the principles of things are explained." The Shiming says: "Praising people's goodness is called 讚." The Shangshu says: "Yi aided [zan] Yu." The Gujin zhengzi states it is composed of 言 [speech] with 贊 phonetic; 贊 is pronounced the same as above, composed of 貝 [cowrie/wealth] and 兟, which is two 先 side by side.)

84.12

蟒悲泣 (mang and zhang in fanqie. This is the great python snake deity of Lake Gongting, which upon receiving An Shigao's sincerity wept bitterly and withdrew.)

84.13

𰡕狗齧王 (𰡕 is pronounced zhi. The Kaosheng says: "A rabid dog." The Zuo zhuan writes it with 制 as 猘, read as ji, or sometimes pronounced ji; both are probably incorrect. In ancient script this character was sometimes written as 𰡌, with the same explanation as above. In the present Tuji it is written with 樂 as 𤢴, which lacks textual foundation and is incorrect.)

84.14

齲齒 (qu and yu in fanqie. The Gujin zhengzi says: "Tooth decay." It is composed of 齒 [tooth] with 禹 phonetic. 蠧 is du and gu in fanqie.)

84.15

傀偉 (the upper character is gu and hui in fanqie; the lower character is wei and gui in fanqie. The Picang says: "傀偉 means an extraordinarily large appearance." The Jixun says: "傀 means robust and large; grand." It also says: "偉 means possessing extraordinary beauty." The Shuowen states that both characters 傀 and 偉 are composed of 人 [person] with 鬼 and 韋 phonetic. The Tuji writes it with 玉 [jade] as 璝, which is the name of a jade and not appropriate here.)

84.16

瞎鼈 (the upper character is he and jia in fanqie. The Blind Turtle Sūtra is the name of a sūtra. The Kaosheng says: "The eyes cannot see things." One source says: "Closed eyes." It is also written as 𣎅, a phono-semantic character. The lower character is bian and mie in fanqie. Zheng's commentary to the Kaogongji says: "The turtle is an aquatic shelled creature, hard-shelled on the outside and fleshy within." The Gujin zhengzi writes it with 虫 as 蟞; the sūtra text writes it with 魚 as 鱉, which is a vulgar character. The Shuowen states it is composed of 黽 with 敝 phonetic; 黽 is pronounced meng, and 敝 is identical in sound with the above.)

84.17

無端底總持經 (this sūtra also lacks an extant copy. When ancients gave titles, they were often rough and unclear. 底 is ding and li in fanqie.)

84.18

Fascicle 2

84.19

純懿 (the lower character is pronounced yi. The Erya says: "懿 means great." The Xiaoya says: "Deep." The posthumous title rules say: "Gentle, sagely, and good is called 懿; cherishing the people with profound substance is called 懿." The Shuowen says it is composed of 壹 with 志 phonetic; it is also written with 欠 as 懿, which is also permissible.)

84.20

貰酒 (shi and ye in fanqie. Gu Yewang says: "貰 means to buy on credit." The Hanshu says: "Gaozu bought wine on credit from Old Lady Wang," which refers to this. The Shuowen says: "貰 means to lend." It is composed of 貝 [wealth] with 世 phonetic; also pronounced shi.)

84.21

84.22

坌身 (pen and men in fanqie. Dust and soil accumulating.)

84.23

84.24

赤㭰烏 (jing and sui in fanqie. A bird's beak. The Wenzidian and Shuowen say: "A bird's beak." In the scripture it is written with 唯 and 乃 as 𭉨, which is incorrect. The Shuowen records it as composed of 此 with 束 phonetic; 束 is pronounced ci. It is also written as 𠲿 or as 嘴, both of which are ancient characters.)

84.25

Fascicle 3

84.26

The second is pronounced nai, a vulgar character; the Shuowen says: 'A kind of fruit.' It has the 'wood' radical and the phonetic shi. In the text adding another 'wood' to make 㮏 is an error).

84.37

Zhiyuan Monastery (枳園寺; the first is zhi-er fan; the Kaogongji says: 'When an orange tree crosses north of the Huai River, it becomes a zhi trifoliate orange.' The Shuowen says: 'A tree resembling the orange.' It has the 'wood' radical and the phonetic zhi. It is the name of a monastery).

Han's Odes commentary says: 'To detest.' The Guangya says: 'To be alarmed.' The Shuowen says: 'To be envious and jealous.' It has the 'heart' radical and the phonetic dan. It is sometimes written with the 'human' radical as 僤; the Kaosheng says: 'Dan means trembling.'

In the Yijing tu ji, it is written with 'hand' and fu as 捊, which is incorrect. In Wu pronunciation, the character 枹 is fu-bu fan; bu has the sound fu-fu fan; it falls under the rhyme character you, sharing the same rhyme as fu.
