原Base edition on view

Source text and commentary are taken from woodblock editions; every citation carries its page, and the page image can be enlarged.

注Commentators' own words

Whoever is quoted is named: Zhu Xi, Cheng Yi and Xie Liangzuo are kept apart; paraphrase is marked; nothing without a traceable source is posted.

勘Public errata

When we got something wrong we record it: which episode, which line, what we said, what it is now, and why.
