Disruption of registers / Upheaval (版蕩: the first character is bān + jiǎn fanqie [bǎn]. Zheng's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "版 is the present-day household register. All who have grown teeth and above are entered upon the registers, with counts mounting to tens of thousands." The Shuowen says: "It has the片 radical, with 反 as phonetic." The transmitted text sometimes mistakenly writes it as 師. The second character is táng + dǎng fanqie [dàng]. Lexicons write it correctly with the basin radical 皿 as 盪. The Kaosheng says: "蕩 is like 除 (to eliminate)." Note that 版蕩 refers to the cancellation and loss of the Liang registers).
