NOTES

Translator's note: the translation of the Liji passage Is from Legge, Li Chi (Book of Rites) vol. I (Chai/Chai edition 1967), p. 201, section 29. The translation of the Zuozhuan passage is also Legge, The Chinese Classics vol. V, Part I (1873), pp. 179-180. Passages from other classics, there being no English translations available, I have had to translate myself, hoping that Professor Qiu understands them in the same way I do.
