Tsao is composed of 日 jih sun as radical, over a contraction of 甲 chia one of the cyclical characters, which refers to sprouting vegetation; hence the beginning of day, early.

	Jo⁴	liang²	hao⁴
	Then	liang	hao

Jo see line 262. It has here the same value as 如 ju in line 283. [Père Zottoli is right this time with quoad, but Eitel is wrong again with "If a man like Liang Hao" and an apodosis which begins at line 305!]

Liang see line 228. Here a surname.

Hao is composed of 水 water as radical, often omitted, with 頁 yeh head and 景 ching bright, white. It is here the personal name of a scholar who was born A.D. 913 but only succeeded in gaining the highest degree in 985 when already seventy-two, after which he lived for twenty years. The author of the San Tzŭ Ching has added the extra ten years.

Tui was originally composed of 寸 ts'un inch, and an obsolete word meaning luxuriant, the old radical, over 口 k'ou a mouth.
