The right horse likely has a cut (> is damaged). 1 159 See HYZ 23 and commentary. 160 自賈馬is grammatically equivalent to zi Ding shu 自丁黍 “millet from His Highness” and zi xi ji 自西祭 “sacrificial items from the west”. ) is written with right hand + knife + pig. A Huayuanzhuang East variant written omits the right hand. The reading of bao/bo 剝 “peel, cut, injure” follows Chen Jian 2007. 剝 “Peeling” is the name and main theme of Hexagram 23 in the received version of the Yijing. Although similar in form, this graph appears to be different from “to castrate, geld”; for a study of the latter, see Qiu Xigui 2012: 1.1-6. 剝 means “pare” on HYZ 228. 81.2, 239.3-5 and 358 are also related to this divination sequence. Based on these three shells with interrelated con- tent, the following timeline can be reconstructed: Yichou is day 2/10; 81.2 is dated day 4/10 and the divination utterance is identical to (6) in this sequence; 239.3 is a divination made on day 10/10 of this same week, and the divination inquires into whether or not to behead a new black horse that has been injured. Additional divinations, at 29.1 and 289.6, perhaps also belong to this set. Those parallel divinations are dated day 3/10 and concern performing an exorcism rite for horses. 134 | HYZ 63
