There will be no affliction. 2 281 Xian (>) is etymologically related to kan pit, xian fall into; dangerous, and han to contain, tongue; Axel Schuessler (2007: 530) defines it: small pit (as a trap), get trapped, fall into (a pitfall). HJ 22278 [Zi I] has a similar syntax: Di- vined on Dingchou: Zi Qi will fall into danger, (but) there will be no misfortune. Western Zhou bronze inscriptions have the phrase (//)(/) fall into danger, for instance the Buqi gui (JC 4328): Enemy warriors came together in a large group, followed and pursued you. You reached the enemy, greatly attacking and battling (them). You did well, not causing our chariots to fall into any danger; Shi Xun gui : (I) hope you will not cause your ruler to fall into any danger. HYZ 168 | 191
