Make evening sacrifice of some small sheep tomorrow (to) Ancestress Geng. 1 depicts an adult man with his mouth facing upward. Zhang Yachu (2001: 542) inter- prets it as the ancestral form of hua make noise. (Hereafter I call this person Hu in order to avoid confusion with another person named Hua .) This person ought to be the same person called lord Hu elsewhere (113). On 130 Hu is associated with music and zither play- ing. As such, perhaps getting Hu by dawn in this divination concerns an upcoming musical performance. 134 It appears that a word is missing after zuo . In causative verb constructions, Huayuanzhuang East diviners use in the phrases zuo jian will cause affliction/trouble and zuo yu will cause (to be) upset. 135 This divination can be synchronized with five other plastrons: 2853113181409. It is associated with Heji 3187 [Bin I]. HYZ 41 | 121
