第七第八用字疑義 about book

[LingDong-]

Hi @747,

Thanks so much for pointing out these errors! I've fixed them in commit a56c27e

• 棰、执 -- totally my mistake, now fixed.

• 朴 -- it seems like in the particular case of the book title 抱朴子, 朴 is more often written instead of 樸. Example.

• 程序、程式 -- they're synonyms, I've now changed the former to the latter in later chapters for consistency.

• 析革 -- I've actually forgotten why I ended up using the phrase (it's been a while :). I think I wanted to mean weapons [兵] that cut/break [析] leather (armour) [革]. But you're right, I couldn't find another source that uses 析 this way. However 金革之兵 also feels weird, since 金革 originally means "weapon and armour" which is redundant with 兵. After some consideration I've changed it to 達革之兵, taken from "南山有竹，不柔自直，斬而用之，達於犀革⋯⋯"(論語), to ensure correct usage.

Thanks again for finding so many mistakes! Very much appreciated.

@LingDong- 微勞有助，不勝榮幸。

• 朴 -- it seems like in the particular case of the book title 抱朴子, 朴 is more often written instead of 樸.

是乃「执」「執」之鏡像也。今閱網頁，是字依然貌肖「樸」，如上圖。文本既為範，則彼字體必乖違其意。

此外，字體是否缺失「央」字字模？

「棰」字亦未備也。

Hi @747

Thanks for spotting the missing glyphs! I've now fixed them.

( The reason for the missing glyphs was that, to make the webpage load faster, only characters used by the book are included in a special "truncated" font. Since the new changes brought characters not used previously, the font has to be regenerated, which I just did :)

切謝作者。今復省上述諸條，有二所未見改矣。姑問，其有意否？

• 「朴」字之形仍相齟齬（例如「抱朴」）

  
  （蓋此於原字體，所以避簡繁之賸弊也，然在本書中，只使之失正耳。奈何。）

• 程序雖已除於第九以降，仍存於第七第八中，共二處

回文者。順逆讀之皆成韻文者也。漢有鏡銘。蘇蕙有璇璣圖。晉以降作者甚眾。而東坡尤工之。今作是程序。因其順而得其逆。因其逆而得其順。以示諸法之用。

乃得七。八。二諸數。參不同。而一術蔽之。不亦易乎。故曰。凡用非一。皆當術之。斯亦所以令程序明練可讀。如文章之命篇者也。又或改易一處。則施者皆不易而易矣。故曰術者雖非必有。然欲以程式立大事者。用術乃不可不精也。

Hi @747

• 程序→程式 now fixed: 07b3a22

• 樸: Sorry I forgot to address this point in my last comment. The issue is caused by the strategy used by the custom font. Often times the font only has one variant form of a character so it tries to fill other forms with the one it has, in order to cover most glyphs in unicode. Though possible, it would be somewhat inconsistent to make exceptions for one particular case like this. And I also feel that even though 抱樸子 is not as accurate as 抱朴子, it's still kinda bearable.

Thanks again for spotting the mistakes!
