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. The copy of the Lu writes it as yi (挹), which has the same pronunciation but a different meaning, namely, to scoop or deliberate.
