Ching see title. It may here be noted that the term Classics is not applied only to the works mentioned in lines 135, 136, but includes also the Four Books (line 115 et seq.). Eitel wrongly inserts "six," although the commentary particularly repudiates any such limitation: 四書六經皆經也 ssŭ shu liu ching chieh ching yeh the Four Books and Six Classics are all Classics.

Chi see line 159.

Ming see line 110.

Fang see lines 14, 30.

Tu see lines 110, 134.

Tzŭ see line 11. [This injunction includes 諸子 chu tzŭ (line 176) philosophers generally, orthodox and otherwise, line 169 guiding the student towards his right goal, the ultimate glorification of Confucianism. Eitel wrongly restricts it to "the ten philosophers," meaning the five philosophers mentioned in lines 171—174, with five other lesser lights, the works attributed to some of whom are now recognised to be spurious, viz. 列子 Lieh Tzŭ, 管子 Kuan Tzŭ, 韓非子 Han Fei Tzŭ, 淮南子 Huai-nan Tzŭ, and 鶡冠子 Ho Kuan Tzŭ.]
