Arts and crafts (技藝: the first character is pronounced *qu* + *qi* [= *jì*]; the *Kaosheng* says it means ability; the *Jixun* says *ji* is also an art, or a craft; it has the hand radical and *zhi* [支], or is written with the human radical as 伎 in popular usage; in the sūtra text it is written with the woman radical as 妓, meaning female musician, which is not the character for arts and crafts; the second character is pronounced *yu* + *ji* [= *yì*]; the *Qieyun* says it means talent and ability; the *Analects* says: "Roam in the arts"; He's commentary says this refers to the six arts, namely rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics).
