(i) We are not sure that this is the right translation, as the line refers to an event of the lives of Li, Chu 

 and Kung , who are or were members of the Hung-league. Sun-moon must mean here from day, or «w-time 

 till night, or jKOOM-time. Te-ma is a place in the district of Hoa in the province of Pe-che-U.
