HSIN fo "Heart." 



Morrison : 9,453. The heart ; the affections ; the mind ; the inten- 

 tions ; the origin. 



Giles : 4,562. Physical heart, first among the five viscera, is seat 

 of the mind. Hence thought intelligence, etc. Also the moral 

 heart or nature. 



Wieger : Analysis, 107. A picture of a heart. 



Meadows : Man's hsin or mind is nothing but his hsing or 

 nature conceived as it exists in him at a somewhat later stage 

 of the evolutionary process. 



TAO EI. 



Morrison : 9,945. A way, a principle. The principle from which 



Heaven, Earth, Man and all nature emanates. 

 Principle in action (see Li). Correct virtuous principle and course 



of action. Order and Good principle in a government and 



country. To speak, to direct, etc. 

 Giles : 10,760. Road, Path. Hence the road "par excellence," 



the right way, true path. 

 Wieger : Analysis, 160 A. Head; to walk. 

 Meadows : Ta is the term which marks the Ultimate Principle as 



the fixed Way or course of the Universe. 



LI S. 



Morrison : 6,942. To rule ; the principles in matter, in bodies, 

 in the universe and in man by which they are regulated ; 

 right principles ; reason in man ; the principle of order by 

 which the Universe is regulated. Also denoted a "principle 

 of organization" ; the internal and essential form of Europeans. 

 Sometimes spoken of as a kind of Soul of the Universe. 

 The heavens and earth and all animate and inanimate creatures 

 are but one Li or principle ; and as to human beings every 

 one has an individual and distinct Li. The universal Li is 

 compared to the water of the ocean out of which each person 

 takes a part, some more, some less still all belong to the 

 water of the ocean which is supreme. 



Giles : 6,879. Abstract right ; eternal fitness of things ; principle. 



Meadows : Li is the Ultimate Principle as the rule or fixed order 

 of the Universe. 



TAO LI 



Morrison : Right principles, a natural sense of fitness, reason, 

 reasonable. 



Giles : Right principle, doctrine, reason, argument. 



Meadows : One of the commonest, and probably the original 

 signification of Tao is path or way. Though it appears to 

 have been employed as our word "way" is employed when we 

 speak of the "ways," i.e., manner of acting of men, and after- 

 wards of heaven. It then began to be and is now used in 

 language still more philosophical, to denote the way of develop- 

 ment of the Universe — the manner of the action of the 

 Ultimate Principle in the evolutionary process. The transi- 

 tion from this to the meaning of absolute truth, is easily seen. 

 Hence Tao, especially in conjunction with Li, one of 

 the other names of the Ultimate Principle, as Tao Li means 

 Reason.
