Tonight, I checked "Qian Xuantong's Diary" and found a piece of information in my diary on September 28, 1909 -
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Fengzhang is boiled with ham, turtles, elbows, etc., and invites the unborn to look at the "food" together, counting the Mid-Autumn Festival." The book of Mr. and Zhu Xizu was not completed. Read the Xunzi Persuasion Chapter, and take a brief copy of Liu Shi's supplementary interpretation at the top. There are many people who wear chiseled skins of Liu's notes, and there are many people who do not have to change the word, but there are also intermittently acceptable, because they are recorded at the upper end, and the case is obtained when it is expected to be seen to check Liu's original book ear. (P179)
"Liu Shi Supplement", that is, Liu Shipei's "Xunzi Supplement". From September 15, 1908 to December 2, 1909, it was serialized in the Journal of National Essence, No. 45-60. Contains the complete volume of 29 volumes of "Uncle Liu Shen's Testament". It is one of the few long texts by Liu Shipei.
In September 1909, the "Xunzi Supplement" had not yet ended.
What Qian Xuantong said in his diary is quite reasonable. Such as -
Liu Shipei's "Xunzi Supplementary Interpretation and Persuasion": "Therefore, it is proud not to ask but to tell, and to ask one and tell two is to say that it is good." Liu Shipei noted himself: "Case: "Qu Li" Yun: 'Li, do not forget to talk about people, do not resign. Cover does not ask or tell, that is, to speak falsely. Pride is the righteousness of pride, the so-called delusion. Ask one and tell two, that is, resignation fee. Oh, the doubtful word. ”
Journal of National Essence
The above is quoted in the "Xunzi Supplementary Interpretation and Persuasion Chapter" of the "Journal of National Essence", published in the "Academic Chapter" of the "Journal of National Essence" No. 45, September 15, 1908. Among them, there are many typos in the quotations - "Li Ji Qu Li" "Do not forget to say that people" should be "do not speak in vain"; "Xunzi Persuasion" "Do not ask and do not tell", should be "do not ask and tell". When the "Testament of Uncle Liu Shen" was included, it was corrected.
Suicide note
Liu Shipei questioned that the "囋" in the original text of "Xunzi" was a false word for "".
"", rare word, not detailed. Book 55 of the Book of Etiquette and Justice: "It is easy to be annoyed by the mouth, it is easy to regret it, and it is easy to drown people." Zheng Xuan's note: "Fei, Yu Huiye." Words are empty and annoying. But the word "" cannot be created because of the word "mouth fee".
Oh, that is, the meaning of many words. Book 4: ",...... Sound more also. ”
Insisting that "hey, doubtful words" is indeed "not necessary to change", which is a bit pretentious.
