家Other commentaries
Our base text is Zhu Xi's Collected Commentaries (above). Here are other commentaries side by side: for old commentaries, the first line of the sub-commentary with a link to the woodblock scan; for modern editions, one short quoted translation for comparison. The “compared with Zhu Xi” notes are written by Yikonglu, not quoted.

“云齊人歸女樂者，歸，猶饋也。”……
Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | same | settled | 归通馈、齐女乐使桓子怠政，孔子因此去；三日不朝并非孔子沉迷女乐。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以归通馈、季氏受女乐怠朝而孔子离鲁。钱所引史记标定公十年，朱引十四年，纪年不能视作完全一致。 |
