Wu Collection, Lower Volume Radical: Stone (shí) Kangxi strokes: 17 Page 837, Entry 05 Pronounced lì. According to the Explaining Graphs and Analyzing Characters (Shuowen Jiezi), it refers to the sound of stones colliding. According to the Jade Chapters (Yupian), it describes the sound of stones colliding softly. Additionally, in the Rites of Zhou (Zhouli), Section on the Official of the Earth (Diguan), it mentions the master of the district holding the list during a burial ceremony. The commentary states that the term refers to shili, which is the title of the person holding the funeral ropes. The term shi is pronounced dí. The sub-commentary explains that this refers to a thousand people distributed along the ropes used to pull the coffin, spaced out appropriately, hence it is called shili. The master of the district holds a board containing the names of the individuals, patrolling and verifying the records to ensure everyone is present, which is why it says he holds the list. Additionally, in the Supplement to the Collection of Characters (Zihuibu), it mentions the Li Chamber, the name of a palace in the State of Yan. The Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji), Biography of Yue Yi, states: Therefore, the tripods were returned to the Li Chamber. The Strategies of the Warring States (Zhanguoce) writes this as the Li Chamber. Writing it as the Mo Chamber is incorrect. Also, in the Records of the Grand Historian, there is the Marquis of Li, Cheng Hei; the tables in the Book of Han (Hanshu) write this as the Marquis of Li. Current versions also write this as the Marquis of Mo. These are all errors that occurred during the process of copying and transmitting the texts.
