87.6

Dark and deep (窅冥; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 𦝫晈. The Shuowen says: "窅 means deep-set eyes; it takes the radical 穴 with 目 inside." Contemporary literati always use this character in their writings, taking only the meaning of depth, totally unaware that it is deeply contrary to proper principles and goes far astray. Sometimes it is written with 幼 as 窈; the commentary to the Mao Classic of Poetry says: "Quiet and secluded." The Shuowen says: "Deep and far-reaching." Regarding the meaning, this is still not quite correct. It properly should take [自/七] as [穴/自/匕]; this is the correct character for deep [in deep and dark]. People nowadays seldom use it, probably because they have never seen the original character. The Shuowen says: "[穴/自/匕] means dark and obscure; it takes 穴 with [自/匕] as phonetic"; [自/匕] has the same sound as above. It is also written as 杳).

87.7

Exposing and picking out (發擿; the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 汀歷. The Kaosheng says: "擿 means to scrape; it also means to poke out." The Gujin zhengzi note says: "With 才 and 適 as phonetic").

87.8

Retire and flee (𦘺遁; the second character is pronounced with the fanqie 屯頓. Wang Yi's commentary to the Chuci says: "遁 means to hide." The Guangya says: "To escape from the world." The Shuowen says: "To ascend as an immortal; another authority says it means to patrol; it takes the radical 辵 with 盾 as phonetic." In the Lun it is written as 盾 and 遯, which are vulgar characters).

87.10

褫運 Stripping away luck: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 池 + 尒. The Cang Jie says: '褫 (chǐ) means to take away completely.' The Shuowen says: 'To strip of / deprive.' It takes the cloth radical (衣) and 虒 for phonetic; 虒 is pronounced 断 (duàn).

87.11

洊雷 Repeated thunder: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 前 + 薦. The Book of Changes (Zhouyi) says: 'Repeated thunder shakes.' Wang Bi says: '洊 (jiàn) means repeated.' The Shuowen writes it as 瀳, taking the water radical and 薦 for phonetic; it is also written as 荐.

Wang Yi's commentary on the Chuci says: '懣 (mèn) also means indignant (憤).' The Cangjie pian says: 'Depressed / stifled (悶).' The Shuowen says: 'Vexed.' It takes the heart radical (心) and 滿 for phonetic. In ancient script it is written as [惹-右+兩], with the same meaning.

The Gujin zhengzi states it takes the stone radical (石) and 參 for phonetic, or takes the earth radical (土) as 墋.

87.15

刁斗 Soldier's kettle: the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 鳥 + 聊; the second is pronounced with the fanqie 兜 + 偶. Meng Kang's commentary on the Book of Han says: 'It is made of bronze and holds one dou; by day it is used to cook food, and by night it is struck to alert the troops. It is carried along with the army, and kept in the armory at Xingyang; nowadays it has been changed to a bronze gong (zheng).' The Gujin zhengzi states: 'Both characters are pictographs, resembling a dipper with a handle.' The treatise's writing of it as 升 is an error.

87.16

The Analects says: 'Yi was skilled in archery.' The Shuowen says: 'An archery officer under Emperor Ku; Shao Kang of the Xia extinguished him.' It takes the bow radical (弓) and 幵 for phonetic. The treatise writes it with the feather radical (羽) as 羿, which refers to a bird taking flight; though common usage has long adopted this, please examine it carefully: it is not the original character.

87.32

𤡝牢 [prison]: The first character is read with the fanqie bing + xi. Wang Su's commentary on the Kongzi jiayu states: 'A 𤡝 is a prison.' The Jixun states: 'A 𤡝 is a prison; it is a caltrop barrier outside a gate.' The Kaosheng analyzes it as composed with the wood radical (木), not with the earth radical (土), written as 㯇, the name of a prison. In popular contemporary usage it is written with the bi radical (比) as 狴, which is erroneous. The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A prison; that which restrains.' It does not take phonetic sheng from an abbreviation of bi (陛). In the text of the treatise, written with the dog radical (犬) as 狴, it is mistaken.

87.71

酺醵 [drinking gatherings]: The first character is read with the fanqie bu + hu. The Shiji states: 'In the twenty-fifth year of the First Emperor, the empire had a great communal drinking party (pu) for five days.' Under Han law, if three or more persons gathered to drink without cause, they were fined four ounces of gold; on this occasion they were granted leave to gather and drink for five days. The second character is read with the fanqie qu + nüe. Zheng's commentary on the Liji states: 'Pooling money to drink wine.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'Pu means the king's virtue spreading abroad, a great gathering for drinking wine, composed of the radical you (酉) and fu (甫) as phonetic. Ju means gathering to eat and drink; it is composed of the radical you (酉) and ju (豦) as phonetic.' It is also written as zuo (酢).

Gu Yewang says: 'It refers to the pearls contained within clam-shells.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'A fine gem; composed of jade (玉) with rui (睿) as phonetic.' In the large seal script (Zhouwen) it is written as 壑, and in the ancient script (Guwen) as [瑛-央+間]. The second character is read with the fanqie hao + gao.

87.73

天授 [Tianshou era]: The second character is read with the fanqie chou + you. In the master copy of the treatise it is written with the unauthorized character [禾*(又/田)].

87.74

馭一境 [governing the entire region]: The first character is read with the fanqie yu + ju, identical in meaning with the character yu (御) here.

87.75

推揖 [bowing with clasped hands]: Read with the fanqie an + xi. Zhang Jian says: 'To bow (yi) is to clasp the hands and raise them to show mutual respect.' It is to show deference.

87.81

撟偽 [fraudulent forgery]: The first character is read with the fanqie jiao + xiao. Zheng's commentary on the Zhouli says: 'Jiao means to falsely claim and deceive in order to take action.' Gu Yewang says: 'To falsely claim is called jiao.' Jia Kui says: 'Whatever violates the laws of the ancient kings is called jiao.' The Chuci says: 'Lifting up (jiao) these charms to dwell in vastness.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'To arrogate; composed of hand (手) with qiao (喬) as phonetic.' The master copy of the Lu writes it with the arrow radical (矢) as 矯; the sound is identical, but it goes against the meaning.

87.82

詭妄 [deceitful and absurd]: The first character is read with the fanqie gui + wei, meaning to deceive or act deceptively.

87.83

重[(芮-入+((傘-(企-止))-┬))*皮] [double skin-blister]: Read with the fanqie jian + xian. The Kaosheng says: 'Skin swelling hollowly like a water-bubble.' The Gujin zhengzi writes it as [束*幵], 枅, or䄯. In the present master copy of the Lu it is written as 躎, which is erroneous.

87.84

推鞠 [interrogating a criminal]: Read with the fanqie jiu + liu. Zhang Jian's Kaosheng says: 'Ju means to interrogate a criminal to the utmost.' Correctly written as 𮆾, composed of person (人), bamboo (竹), and speech (言); it is also written as 諊 or 𰪐.

Offerings to the spirits of heaven and earth are called ming; spirits of the hundred things are called [(魅-ㄙ)-未+勿].' The Shanhaijing says: 'The creature called [(魅-ㄙ)-未+勿] has a human body and a black head.' The Shuowen jiezi states that it is correctly written as 鬽: 'The essence of an old thing; composed of ghost (鬼) growing hair, with shan (彡) as radical.' Nowadays it is also written as 魅 or 魅.

The present copy of the Lu writes it with the foot radical (足) as 蹲踏, which is erroneous.

87.95

Fascicle Four

87.96

煒燁 [brilliant and blazing]: The first character is read with the fanqie wei + gui; the second character is read with the fanqie yan + zhe; these are the orthodox forms in ancient characters. The Mao Commentary on the Shijing says: 'Wei means the appearance of redness.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'The appearance of abundant brightness; composed of fire (火) with wei (韋) as phonetic.' The Guangya says: 'Ye means brightly shining.' The Gujin zhengzi analyzes it as composed of fire (火) with [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] as phonetic. The character [日/((傘-(企-止))-┬+ㄎ)] has the same pronunciation as above. In orthodox script it is written thus; the copy of the Lu writes it as 熚, which is erroneous.

87.97

刳命 [slaughtering lives]: The first character is read with the fanqie ku + gu. Gu Yewang says: 'Ku means to empty out its belly.' The Shuowen jiezi says: 'To cleave apart; composed of knife (刀) with kua (夸) as phonetic.'
