Xunzi (The Book of Master Xun)荀子
Thirty-two chapters and 481 paragraphs fully translated. The graph counts were matched against the source text chapter by chapter, and all thirty-two chapters were confirmed to differ by not a single graph (79,962 graphs). ★Yang Liang's (楊倞) commentary was taken away and only the text translated. The commentary that comes with the source text runs to 40,175 graphs, more than half the text, but the Xunzi is writing that carries its own argument through to the end, and the sense stands without the commentary. This was judged otherwise than in the Art of War, where the commentaries of the eleven masters were kept as notes — in a work on warfare the commentary is the kernel itself, while here it is only a later man's exposition. The source text uses quotation marks differently from chapter to chapter (Western marks mixed with full-width ones), so they were settled on full-width forms all at once when the source text was made. The build and the matching read the same file, so the matching cannot be blinded. In one passage of 「Yibing」 the source text blots out four graphs as ××××, so they are left as □□□□. They are not counted in the graph total.
